[As mentioned here, it's the start of a fresh term!

For some sense of guidelines, the morning of the 17th (Wed!) will be filled with testing and review, for new students and returning students alike, until the lunch break. (And if anyone misses the initial testing, they can always take it at another time! Very handwaveable, that.)

Students can chat before they begin or after they finish, but they will be penalized for during. There will be baked goods and lemonade as a treat during the lunch period and after school. (If they need more time for the tests, they won't be allowed to leave the room with the others, though snacks will be made available for them as well.) Newer students can request a tour (if they hadn't received one already).

The playground is always open for after school or lunch break interactions.

The other classes - Art/Music, Magic, and World Sharing - will continue on as usual, and will be similar through the week. Magic will start off with questions about progress during the break for those pursuing interest in the spirits, and demonstrations, as well as a chance to compare the concept between worlds for the newer arrivals. World Sharing will allow students to show off locations in the battle dome, either ones previously viewed or new ones they want to introduce.

The other days will follow the usual schedule!

You're not limited to the headers! Just do what you want--these are just some suggestions as to what's going on, but they aren't the be-all-and-end-all of what can be played with! Chat with each other, set up things! And by all means play with the current ongoing shifts! It's meant to be for CR!]


As always, please add your character to the roster here and update if there are any changes!

Do you think that could be because you're trying to use too much? Or perhaps... it's the thinking that gets in the way. Do you begin to doubt yourself or the energy that comes from you? Because in the end... that is the source.

[He ruminates over her words, letting his eyes drift over his classmates as they practice and encourage each other and exchange advice.]

I guess I'm still a little surprised that I can do this at all, to be honest. But even so, it's...frustrating how slow this is going. [He likes to be good at what he does, it's as simple as that. In training, he'd been a natural with the 3D maneuver gear, and he let that fuel his vulnerable ego for three years. Anything he hadn't cottoned to quite as well, he would whine and sulk, but at least he's grown out of that now.]

[wise_maiden]

It is a new skill, and one you haven't had any prior training in. The concepts will come easier to you as you go along, as long as you keep up with the basics. Do you still mediate and contact Nala?

[wipesfaith]

I do sometimes... When I was still trying to establish contact with, uh-- [Him? Her?] --it, I was meditating every day, trying to listen, but I haven't been doing that as much lately.

[wise_maiden]

It might help you connect better to what you're trying to do. Sometimes the spirits have more to teach you, if you're not sure you've grasped all the basics from them.

[wipesfaith]

[He nods firmly.] I'll go back to doing that every day, then. [He'll have to practice patience, but in a way it's relaxing to just sit and concentrate. He clears his throat.]

Thank you, ma'am.

[wise_maiden]

You're welcome. I know starting out can be tricky, and I'll try to advise you should any other questions come up. Still, that should help you the most with securing the basics.
