School mingle log - OPEN
Who: Teachers, students, library attendees and anyone else who just wants to hang around the temple of Menrva, a.k.a. Dead Kid School.
What: Even being dead doesn't mean you can skip out on your homework. (Teachers, please feel free to put up headers for your classes if you like!)
Where: The temple of Menrva, including its library and study rooms
When: April 1 - 10
Warnings: Please keep things school-appropriate. Hibari is watching. (also possible foul language, violence, firearm use: there's this Buddhist high priest taking care of the library, you see.)
(Schedule of Classes)
Library
[The library is at the back of the temple, with full-length windows onto a balcony that looks out over a valley filled with late-spring foliage. The books that can be found here cover a wide variety of subjects, from religion and philosophy to history, biography and the sciences. You can even find some fiction if you're here for lighter reading.
Tables are available for reading or studying in the library. Talk to Menrva or one of her shinki if you want to take something home: they'll check it out for you.
The shelves are imposingly tall and stuffed with texts. If you want something on the top shelf, you might have to find someone to help, or try to clamber up on your own -- careful, though, those shelves aren't built for climbing....]
Courtyard
[The courtyard at the front of the temple is large and paved, with blooming trees around the edges and a massive set of steps at one end rising to the columned entryway of the temple. There's a giant heap of scrap metal daubed with paint next to the steps. From the right angle, it's an avant-garde sculpture of a massive owl.
The courtyard is a great place for exercise, weapons practice, tree-climbing or hanging out with your friends on days when the weather's nice. Be careful, though: if you hang out here too long and don't look busy, Hakkai will hand you a broom. Those lovely trees drop flower petals and leaves all over the stone, and he can always use a hand cleaning up.]
Classes & Independent Study
[Classes are held every day of the week except Sunday, in temple rooms next to the library that have been re-purposed with large tables and plenty of chairs to hold all of the students who are interested in showing up. Anyone who's interested in a subject that's not on the class list -- kanji study, for example, or literature -- can show up to one of the study halls or make separate arrangements with Hakkai, Elsa or any other teacher.
One of the classrooms, as of April 2nd, has a number of desktop computers set up in it, with working Internet connections and basic office software installed. The computer classes haven't been scheduled yet, which means all of those machines are free for walk-in use: homework, games, trying to figure out what a keyboard is, surfing the Internet or laughing at dumb YouTube videos -- the sky's the limit.]
Dinner
[The school doesn't actually close, since it's also where Elsa and her two shinki live. Stay too late, or fall asleep in one of the comfier library chairs, and you may find yourself woken up and invited to dinner. With so many students around the place, Hakkai always makes extra.
If your god happens to be missing or you're not sure where to go, you might even be allowed to spend the night. If you stay over, though, Hakkai will definitely have cleaning chores for you in the morning. Those pretty stone floors need a lot of mopping!]

no subject
... [he'd even take the bad if it meant he could have a normal school life. But it's impossible. This is as close as he'll get.
Drawing himself out of his brown study he looks at her curiously.]
Piloting what? An airplane?
no subject
[Life is filled with the best things in life as well as the worst, that much Sheryl is certain. Her experiences taught her as such.]
A variable fighter! [She stretches an arm above her head in a grand gesture.] Planes that can transform into several modes for combat. It'd be so nice if this temple has that course.
no subject
So yes, let's get distracted with this-!]
Hold on- planes that can transform? I think you mean, it'd be nice if this world even had something like that, never mind a course in how to fly it.
[Because that sounds pretty cool, ok ok.]
no subject
They come in three modes! A battroid, a gerwalk, and a fighter mode. [She's suddenly grateful that she had paid attention to flying classes to even remember that.] It'd be nice if this world had such machines, but you can't have everything, I suppose.
no subject
No, too bad we don't have those. Unless you knew how to make one! [He laughs a little- he knows it's a ridiculous suggestion.]
no subject
My expertise likes in music, not in making fighter planes. I did fly one, though!
[And she's admittedly not that great at it... but she tried.]
Are you thinking of being a pilot?
no subject
[He shakes his head at the question.]
Nope. I have a different future chosen for me...
[The fingers of one hand trace the 'Yuki' character through his shirt. He used to resent that, but not anymore.]
I'm trying a lot of diferent things though, like gardening and construction.
no subject
So she focuses on the positive instead, smiling along.]
Those are really nice things to focus on, Yukine. You can plant and create at once!
no subject
[He blushes slightly at being complimented. Then promptly feels embarrassed so turns his gaze back down to his textbooks.]
There's just some things I want to do. And I have lots of time, so I'm sure I'll get good enough.
no subject
[She says with genuine encouragement, chuckling under her breath. People should always have something to strive for, as she believes.]
If you're curious about gardening, feel free to ask a friend of mine about plants! He'd probably help you with that.
no subject
I would like a teacher... there's only so much I can learn from books, you know?
Would you introduce me sometime?
no subject
[wow Sheryl, you're pimping him out twice]
I'll talk to him about your interest first, then we'll see~
no subject
Sure. Thanks, Sheryl-sama. Is he one of your shinki?
no subject
[Sheryl pls]
no subject
no subject
Not at all, he's actually around my age. Slaine is cute because of his gentle personality.
no subject
[He can't really say he gets it.]
At any rate, if he's gentle, I hope he'll be all right with helping me out. Just let me know whenever you find out.
