Haley Crusek wrote:"You did? Well it doesn't look like you posted anything. Are they sitting in your draft folder or did you not write like I told you too?"

"...I'm going to say draft folder, and avoid the wrath of tiny blonde women."

Maya Mills wrote:"Mine's just brain issues," Maya says, waving her hand dismissively. "Whatever. It's fine."

"What are your powers anyway?"

"I... umm..." he said, pausing, "Turn into an elk."

And Ryan did chuckle! "Oh, good. So my reputation doesn't proceed me, this is promising," he joked.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:48 pm

"Ah, so zee trus comes out. Is zee reputation of being superhero and such more zen meets the eye? I knew it." She joked right back.

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:49 pm

"Really? An Elk?"

by **Paul Valmont** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:50 pm

Paul was taking a drink of his coke, and looked over the new girl that he'd somehow been left with (how had that happened? Well, no sense complaining...). "Hi, I'm Paul," he said with a smile, trying to be the friendly one.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:50 pm

"Well, you're just going to have to find out the hard way, because I'm sure not telling," Ryan joked.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:52 pm

A nod. "Zen I suppose I will do so. Sings being so easy is boring, non?"

"Hi." she repeats herself. "I'm not awkward--I mean I'm Jennifer." she interrupts herself, wincing at herself.

Graham winced.

"Yep. Big ass deer," he answered, pretending not to be embarrassed.

"I... wouldn't have assumed you were," Paul said. Not quite honestly.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 9:05 pm

"Well, I've always liked a good challenge," Ryan said with a smile. "I mean, I suppose it's not for everyone."

Ryan Gabriel wrote:"Well, I've always liked a good challenge," Ryan said with a smile. "I mean, I suppose it's not for everyone."

She smiles back and nods, taking another drink from her water. "I assume some of zee oder students 'ere are returners?"

"Oh. Right. You're trying to be friendly." she smiles.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 9:23 pm

"Some of them," he said. "Lot of new ones here, too," he added. "Aaaand most of them ones I'll be teaching, so again, I'm glad to see you here!" he teased.

by **Paul Valmont** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 9:24 pm

"I- well, yeah, I guess," Paul said, a little thrown off. Plus she's cute...

She laughs softly. "Do you go by a title? Or is zee instruction less formal? I am unsure how zee sings work here, and I wish to show no one disrespect."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 9:31 pm

"Well, you're not one of my students, so you don't have to call me 'Mr. Gabriel'. And... disrespect? I thought that's what teachers were supposed to get."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 9:34 pm

"Better than trying to be mean."

Ryan Gabriel wrote:"Well, you're not one of my students, so you don't have to call me 'Mr. Gabriel'. And... disrespect? I thought that's what teachers were supposed to get."

She doesn't seem to realize if he's being serious or joking. "Teachers should receive utmost respect for zere knowledge off sings, regardless off what zee topic is. Zee time it takes to retain knowledge to share wis oders as well as zee desire to...it is commendable." She hoped and prayed he wasn't joking and she didn't make herself sound like an idiot.

by **Paul Valmont** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 9:36 pm

"Totally," he agreed, glad that that bit of the conversation passed. "So, uh, where are you from?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 9:37 pm

"See, now I wish you had been in my class," he joked. Obviously this time. "But nah... my deal's a little more informal. About as much teaching as a gym teacher, I guess," he... sorta lied.

"You mentioned helping teach power control and zee like. I haf to say, I find it difficult to belief it is as you say so nonchalantly." She did remember him saying that, and she didn't believe it would be easy as he made it sound. If it was, then she'd be very, very surprised.

Haley quirked her eyebrow at him and smirked. "Mmhmm...sure."

"To be fair, this 'My Space' thing is very, very confusing to comprehend."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 10:56 pm

"Well it's not like it's something I had to have any qualifications for other than 'I was a mutant for years, and if one of them goes ballistic I can shut them down,'" he said, apparently honestly.

"Do you enjoy teaching? Helping zem realize sings and work towards a better potential?"

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 11:58 pm

Paul Valmont wrote:"Totally," he agreed, glad that that bit of the conversation passed. "So, uh, where are you from?"

"Augusta, Maine. Are you from the US too?"

"That's pretty cool," Maya says. "What's it like?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 12:04 am

"Their proximity to me requires me to say 'yes,'" he joked as he started moving back away from the crowd. No sense making the kids feel like the teacher was spying on them. "It has its moments that wear on you. I think that the other instructor and I both had nervous breakdowns over then last year. But overall it's good."

"Zen you haf something zat many do not. Zee will and heart to help oders grow. I sink zat is a serious qualification for being a good instructor." She watches as he edges away a bit, unknowing if she should do the same or simply leave him alone. She doesn't want to hover or anything.

Blaine Slinger wrote:"Cool beans. Ever gore anyone?"

"Only a wolf."

Maya Mills wrote:"That's pretty cool," Maya says. "What's it like?"

"I hardly ever shift all the way. It feels powerful, but... it makes me all jumpy too. Prey animal and all that. It's bad enough without shifting at all."

by **Maya Mills** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 10:34 am

"You can control it?" Maya asks, "That's good. I still can't control my shifting."

"I turn into some kind of smoke."

by **Graham Jaeger** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 10:41 am

"My body anyway... mostly. The instincts are my issue."

"Smoke huh?"

by **Maya Mills** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 10:43 am

"Yeah, some sort of blue smoke," Maya says. "I think I'd prefer being an elk, honestly."

by **Graham Jaeger** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 10:51 am

"It does have benefits," he nodded. "Being super agile is really cool for example."

"No. Your lectures and that last book you assigned are hard. Blogging is easy. You just write. And...wait, MySpace? Seriously? No. You don't have a band you shouldn't be there. I'll help you get this set up."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 12:12 pm

After hanging out with Miranda Kay heads over to the refreshment table, waving at people new and old before taking over Miranda's initial spot behind the tables.

by **Narrator** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 12:37 pm

"Well anyway," Ka-Zar says, "it was good to meet you, Alex. I'm sure we'll talk again." He claps Alex's shoulder again, and starts towards the refreshments table.
