<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td> Timestamp: Dyo, 23, 81379 Second class of the morning. There is more information about this thread, http://shadowlack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3364&st=0&#entry44275here</a>. A posting order will start once everyone arrives, and Happy Easter Everyone!!</td></tr></table> Kazul pushed the large wooden door with his shoulder, in his paws where a few books and papers for the class he was about to teach. He however didn’t plan to use them much but he thought they made him look more professional. Even though he has been teaching for almost a year part time, he still some times felt un prepared when getting ready for class, he just like the feeling of seeing how things went and worked with what he got. And besides, paper work isn’t to helpful in a Telepathy class. His pure white eyes look over the room, he realized it was the same one he had use for he Inner Sight class some time ago. He walked over to behind the desk and to the chalk board behind it. It took him a few second before he was able to find a spare piece of chalk, the class seemed to be out, he made a note to himself to not write much in case he ran out during class. But for now he picked up the small piece and wrote ‘Professor Kazul Reatuf’ in large writing on the black board. Once he finished that as soon as he turned around the bell to signal the end of the current class went off. Kazul sat in the chair behind the desk, thinking about how the class would unravel. He then stopped himself and decided that it would be best to wait for some student to arrive before he got a head of himself. One can’t be a teacher with out a student. So he pulled out a paper and pen ready to write down the names of the students as the arrived.
Dyslexia hummed a few lyrics of her current favorite song, her backpack slung over one shoulder and her vest clutched in her free hand. She felt lucky to have made it into the class; it was a subject that she found interesting. Her plumed ears twitched in time to the music in her head, a little extra bounce in her step as she siddled into the classroom. The backpack, with all it's assorted accessories and attatched plushies, was dropped on the floor beside a desk near the front. Unsure just what exactally the class required she had brought the standard pad of paper and a pencilcase, as well as her lucky headband. It helped her to think. <span style='color:teal'>"Hello Professor Reatuf!"</span> she chimed, scootomg into her seat. Her long tail swished behind her, the plume at it's time swaying much like a tail flame would. Leaning back in her chair, Dys surveyed her newest teacher with a keen eye. He didn't look so bad, kinda the classic grampa type.
Morichai walked outof the toilets awkwardly, she was in her bi pedal form and was finding it hard to find her balance after over a year of her quad form. she shifted her bag onto her other shoulder and began making her way towards her new class <span style='color:orange'>i'm sure it was around here somewhere...</span> she looked in each of the doors to see if she reconized the professor, <span style='color:orange'>ah there he is</span> she walked in, stumbling over her own feet, blushing, she mumbled a hello to the 'dragon alrerady there and nodded towards the professor quickly taking a seat in the front and fumbling in her bag for her pad and pencilcase. <span style='color:purple'>god im so goddamn clumsy</span> she thought
<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>Character: Ebony Fang, 1700 (without wings) Clothing: short black skirt and an olive green button shirt, only done up half-way, shoes are black low-heeled slip on "ballet-style" sorry I'm late x.x</td></tr></table> Ebony strolled along the corridors on her way to her next class. She'd just had a particulary silent and boring Advanced Ramathian lesson with Mr Kjetta. Usually his lessons weren't that boring, but this was a timed essay. On "Why is Learning Ramathian Important in Today's Society?" How boring. Still clutching two heavy and rather large Ramathian text books and her small brown suede rucksack on one shoulder with pens, a notebook and a few smaller textbooks for revision for her Elementary class later on in the morning. Damn these are heavy! Luckily I have a free period next so I can put these damn things in my dorm. And pick up the rest of my Elementary ones.. She thought crossly to herself just as she found the door to her new class. She walked gracefully in, glanced at the board for the professor's name and said Good Morning Professor Reatuf. in a cheery but not "i'm a happy go-lucky punk in the lower end of the school" type way. Just a general cheery good morning. She then made her way over to an empty table and placed the two heavy Ramathian books on the table, very glad to put them down, and searched for her pen and pad. She'd got the basics of telepathy already but wanted to brush up on it. When she recieved telepathic messages, they didn't always come through clear. Well, that's what you get for being self-taught I suppose..
Okay, so his next lesson would be telepathy... Juem walked as fast as he could while reading his time table. His right paw holding his rather heavy bag while his left holds the piece of paper that he put right at the end of his snout to read. After a while, he shoved the paper in his pants pocket and looked for the class he was supposed to be in. After a few times on barging into wrong classrooms and receiving odd looks from the students, he finally found the right class. Sighing with relief, he glanced at the blackboard where the class teacher had so neatly written his name on it. <span style='color:steelblue'>Good morning, Mr. Reatuf</span> he said. He take a quick look around the classroom, searching for a suitable place to seat. He decided to sit at the back. Two rows behind Morichai. He set his bag down on the floor and placed his arms on the table, waiting for what knowledge this class would bring him.
Kazul watched silently while the students started to enter the class, he nodded and smiled at the ones who said hello. He was a little surprise to see a male in the class because the skill to telepath was much stronger in females, but he couldn’t say much for he was male himself. Once all four students had arrived he marked four checks on his paper. He didn’t want to waist time finding out everyone’s name now, it would just slow down the class. Once he put down the pencil the bell to begin class sounded and he rose to stand in front of his new class. <span style='color:eeeeee'>“Good morning class. I’m sure you all know that Telepathy is communication with ones thought. You use your mind to generate these thoughts, then – </span> <span style='color:white'>{send them off}</span> The last part he telepathed to the whole class so that they would be able to see the extant of the power of telepathy. He smiled then continued out loud. <span style='color:eeeeee'>“Today I hope that we will be able to work our way from one on one telepath to large group and then large group excluding only a few. So, first question. Can anyone tell be the importance of being to telepath in different ways? Don’t be shy, just say what you think."</span> He looked over the students to see if any had done some pre-class studying.
<span style='color:orange'>umm...would it be so we can use telepathy more efficently, r-rather than having to relay it to everyone one-by-one</span> she kept her head down while she said this muting the words slighly <span style='color:purple'>maybe i should have said nothing....</span>
<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td> I’m sorry if anyone else had something to say for the question but I’d like to try and keep this moving. Posting order is just: Teacher, student, student, student, student, teacher.</td></tr></table> Kasul was a little disappointed that only one student had tried to answer the question, but he understood that not many ‘dragons would study something before they were even in the class. He looked over at Morichai as she spoke. <span style='color:eeeeee'>“That is partly correct. For each different way you learn to telepath there is a different reason that goes with it."</span> he paused for a second so that he could look around the whole room. <span style='color:eeeeee'>“When you are telepathing one on one it’s a good way to keep secrets or just information you don’t want others to know. I’ll get to the other reasons in a moment."</span> He moved down the row of students in the front and stood in front of Morichai. <span style='color:eeeeee'>“As your first task of the day I’ll get you all to telepath to me. I’d like to see how much you know already. When you’re not the one ‘pathing someone I’d like you to try and pick up on what there saying. It shouldn’t be that hard because we’re not trying for a protected one. When ever you are ready Morichai, go ahead, then the rest of the class after that."</span> He hoped he wasn’t telling them too much at the same time. There was lots to cover in telepathy and he was hoping to get lots of it covered this class. He was starting to wonder if he should have spilt everything into two classes. He would see how far they get today first.
Juem felt a little weird being the only male in the class. He didn't really wanted to come, but he thought maybe if he learned telepathy, it would benefit him in the future. Most of the students here are mostly quiet. The teacher had already started on tasks to do. Juem tried to concentrate on the teacher. <span style='color:green'>Am I doing it right?</span> he tried to telepath to the teacher. He didn't know if he did it right or had let the whole class hear it.
<span style='color:seagreen'>{'Lo Proffesor.}</span> Dys 'pathed to the male teacher, resting her chin on her interlaced fingers and hands. The class had grown still now that everyone was concentrating on relaying their messages to the teacher. She felt a tiny pang of sympathy for the lone male student; knowing that he was inherently the one at the most disadvantage.
<span style='color:purple'>um... can you hear me? in there?</span> she focused on the teacher imagining the words in his head, she wasnt liking this, too many 'dragons, however she was surprised to see a male in the class. she might try and talk to him later, guys were better company.
<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>Just so that we don’t get confused all telepaths should be between {}'s And I’ll now be putting in a 3 day rule(after who ever posted last you get 3 days to post) unless you ask for more time because I’d like to try and keep this moving.</td></tr></table> Nodding, Kazul let the ‘paths flow into his head, eyes closed for better concentration. He could tell how had done it before and who needed a little bit refreshing. But hopefully it wouldn’t take them to long to get past the basics. He open his eyes now a looked over the class. <span style='color:white'>“Not bad, but I’d like to give you guys the basic and then will give it another go."</span> He walked over the chalk board and picked up one of the white pieces that were sitting on the ledge. He wrote in bug letters “Focus, Envision and Determination" they were the keys factors in learning to telepath properly. <span style='color:white'>“The first thing you want to do when you want to send someone a message telepathically you have to focus on your goal. It helps to clear your mind of any other thoughts, and then envision the ‘dragon you wish to hear what you are sending. Then with a little determination picture those words traveling through the air and towards said ‘dragon."</span> Being his first telepathy class he was hoping that he was explaining it easy enough for them. The concept to telepathy is fairly simple but to actually learn it can take time. Most of the time it just depended on the cleanness of the ‘path and keeping your concentration, but for some teens these days it wasn’t as simple as it sounded. <span style='color:white'>“Now again please class, no rush, just concentrate. Even those that got it the first time."</span>
morichai focused on the professor, thinking the words and imaging them spoken in his head {<span style='color:purple'>can you hear me, in there</span>} her wings twiching with the effort she was putting in.
Great. An activity. Juem never liked any activities before. But this, maybe he could stand. He looked around the classroom for a target. His oculars rest on an exotic-like beauty of a 'dragon. It was easy to envision her in his mind. Pretty girls stick on his mind like glue. Focusing on the image of Dyslexia, he tried to do his best in telepathy again. {<span style='color:green'>Hello...</span>}
Dyslexia leaned forward slightly in her seat, giving her tail and wings for room to streatch and flex as she settled herself for another go. Plumed and studded ears twitched as she 'pathed her message to the teacher. <span style='color:seagreen'>{Eees a me! Dyslexia.}</span> No sooner had she sent out the message than she received an incoming one. Looking around, she tried to match the mind-voice to a person in the classroom. The pitch and tone meant it could only be male, but it certainly had not been the professor. Turning in her seat, violet eyes landed on the only male who had entered this class. <span style='color:seagreen'>{Hello yourself}</span> she responded, turning back to look at the teacher as soon as she had a lock on Juem. Last thing she wanted was to get kicked out for playing around with the other students. Of course, that didn't mean she couldn't continue to 'path him, just as long as she was discreet about it.,,
Kazul watched as his students each sent off there own messages. He received both messaged of the females. He looked over a Juem, who he noticed seemed to be staring at Dyslexia. Maybe a school crush? But it wasn’t his affair so he would leave it be unless it distracted either of them from the class. <span style='color:EEEEEE'>“Your messages are very clear Dyslexia, and Morichai that one was much better then your first. I didn’t receive one from you, Juem, give it another go."</span> <span style='color:EEEEEE'>“As for the rest of you, I’m sure you may have noticed a buzz or itch in your head with all these messages floating around. When you have the skill you will be able to hear the ‘paths of not so fully trained ‘dragons but they may also hear yours."</span> He paused all looked around to be sure that they were still paying attention, white eyes moving across the class. <span style='color:EEEEEE'>“Now for the next path to me I want you to picture myself in a tube and at the end you can only see me, and you want to push your message through that tube. You are should keep your senses aware to prying minds. So while the others are sending there telepaths try and see if you can listen in even while they, are trying to keep it protected.</span>
morichai nodded at his words and did precisely what he had said, she thought of a thick steel like tube and imagined herself pushing thre message into the image of him. but being aware of other minds. {<span style='color:purple'>hello professor</span>} she began to relax in this class and was no longer feeling as uptight with other people watching, she even managed to smile to herself as she began to get the hang of telepathy or so she hoped. she looked around the room after she sent the message, noting how the male seemed to have a 'thing' for the pretty femme. <span style='color:purple'>looks like i wont be talking to anyone then</span> she sighed
He kicked himself for getting caught. He'll have to be more discreet in this stuff. He has yet to learn that. {<span style='color:green'>Hm. You're pretty quick.</span>} he 'pathed back to Dyslexia. Just then the teacher said his name. {<span style='color:green'>Sorry, teach.</span>} Juem telepathed his reply to the teacher, a sheepish look on his face. He wondered if the teacher knew. There was a slight buzz going on in his head. He shook his head in attempt to clear it. This telepath thing is so uncomfortable. And the teacher was already giving out another activity. Oh, joy. This time he wondered if he'll get through it. Try to listen in to other students and keep your telepath to the teacher quiet? Too bad he wasn't female or this thing would've come naturally. He didn't want to flunk this subject so he tried. Imagine the teacher at the other end of the tube... Before he knew it, the teacher's head was stuck in the tube. Smiling to himself on that imagination, he tried to 'path. {<span style='color:green'>When will the buzz subside?</span>}
<span style='color:seagreen'>{I can hear a bit of a whisperish thing... is that the buzz you're talking about?}</span> Dyslexia 'pathed the teacher, her wings flexing with pent up energies as she did so. Telepathy class was good if you didn't like to move around a lot, but personally Dy liked a bit more action. Maybe after class she could convince that guy who had 'pathed her, 'Juem' to join her for a walk down to the cafeteria for a quick coffee after this class. <span style='color:seagreen'>{You up for ditching next period?}</span> She telepathed privately to Juem, although outwardly she showed no sign of even paying the slightest bit of attention to him.
Kazul smiled at the questions, he enjoyed being there to answer them, it was one of the main reasons why he took a job working here at the school. Since he guessed that some of the students would be thinking the same thing he decided to answer them out loud. <span style='color:EEEEEE'>“Those are good question, I’m happy you asked. The buzz is something that you notice now because we are all in a small room and sending telepaths to each other in a small area, so it’s bound to create some sort of disruption in your minds. As for the whispering, that taking it to the next level of trying to figure out what noise that “buzz" is really making. If you can concentrate hard enough eventually you will be able to hear those whispers."</span> He paused again, going over the lesson plan. He knew that keeping your telepaths hidden wasn’t something that you can perfect in one day. SO it would probably be best if he just gave them the guild lines and they could practice on there own after that. <span style='color:EEEEEE'>“Do you guys think you’re ready to try telepathing a large group or do you still have some questions."</span>
