Summary: The new year of school is finally underway, with testing, a look into classes, and general interaction for all involved.
Rating: A+

[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!

[For Wednesday (17th) and those scheduled for any day after. For those who want before and after test interactions, if they haven't already been pre-arranged! Extra scrap paper will be supplied, as well as extra pencils, though returning students should know better to have their own ready. Review tests are different from the standard assessment tests and will be graded accordingly.]

[From the 18th and on!

Returning students, did you do your summer reading? What's that, there was a draft and you forgot all about it? An owl took your book? Never fret, there are always other assignments to make up for it.

But at least try to have that essay ready before the end of next week.

Feel free to partner up in groups for continued work on your plays, however. Just try not to be caught sleeping or passing inappropriate notes around.]

[18th and on!

A ghost from the past seemed to sprinkle in a little reminder that puzzles and mathematics go hand in hand.

The puzzles range from word problems to algebraic and logic ones for the more advanced students. Or something like this or this, or perhaps there's a jenga game set to calculate, or guessing games with marbles... the possibilities are there. ]

[18th and on!

You know the really fun thing about those whacky time shifts and their affects on the environment? If you catch something in action, it sure makes for fun observation.

Such as the example of an overgrowing plant. Raine's had her hands full of these at the flower shop.

Students of course are encouraged to talk about their own observations and experiences. Sure, it's inconvenient, but if it can be studied, then might as well make use of it...!]

[Any day!

Have a seat, relax, talk about your day so far with your friends, talk to someone new, either bring your own lunch or take from some of the provided food (which are mostly supplied from the convenience store) which are basically sandwiches, rice balls, cookies from the bakery, etc. And bottled juices and water. Or lemonade and cookies, if it's the testing day.]

[ Mondays and Wednesdays!

They're usually meant as a relaxing class, though sometimes there are loose themes.

For now, those attending are "randomly assigned" partners and then are told to draw a portrait of them. There can be multiple ones in different styles, depending on mood or variation. They can take turns alternating between drawing and posing.

Talking and commentary is expected, but rudeness isn't tolerated. ]

[Tuesdays and Thursdays - Jack Vessalius is the lone teacher, and he specializes in piano. Though that shouldn't keep students from trying out other instruments, either...]

[On the 17th, Magic will start off with questions about progress during the break for those pursuing interest in the spirits, and some demonstrations and question/answer sessions for any newcomers to the class.

Later days will involve more practical demonstrations and applications, and give students a chance to talk about their worlds concepts of magic and powers and so forth.

Some classes will be held outside, but others in the battle dome due to convenience.]

[The first day back will involve students offering suggestions for new locations they can look at in the battle dome, and addressing the last shift and asking if any other worlds held those kinds of customs.

Otherwise, later days will involve showing off locations, so be prepared to take the floor and show off some interesting sites!

Even better, if it's something that attracts the attention of those who don't usually attend...]

[Raine will probably remember the scarred young man from the flower shop who was also asking her about school. Apparently Zuko is still interested, because he shows up for testing.

Once the test is over, Zuko hands in his work.

So... now what?]

[Raine should remember the girl she spoke to privately, on the journals. She's as ready as she'll ever be for the test, but of course she's worried. She knows she's smarter than she used to be, but not Daria-smart...]

[Rock Lee is ready with a pencil in hand, intensely staring ahead at whoever his assigned partner happens to be.]

So... It is you!

Uh. Yeah.

[Actually Zuko remembers this guy. From when he was an Eevee. This is weird.]

[Aang had settled down near the playground for lunch, with a simple veggie sandwhich. During the first half of the lunch break, everything seems to be normal. It's the time for more casual conversation.

But after that, something red-and-orange flits in the corner of Aang's eye. He's not sure if he actually hears that oh so familiar laughter or if it's just being imagined to fit the child running across the playground. It's Ikki.]

Ikki! [He'll cry out and run in an attempt to catch her in a hug in unbelievable joy. But his arms scoop around empty air, and he's left kneeling on the ground in stunned silence.]

[Oh, Lee remembers you too Zuko, even if you don't. From the previous time he was here. In fact, he owes you a jumpsuit.]

Yes! Should I draw you first?! Or would you like to capture me?!

[Come help Aang figure out one of the puzzles! He kind of missed puzzles, and he tends to enjoy them more then normal math.

He may gravitate towards the marble-based games, but feel free to throw any number puzzle his way!]

[She's not unfamiliar with Zuko, given it's not the first time she's seen him in Luceti, either. The only difference is that this time, he's expressing an interest in attending classes.]

Thank you. Would you like to take a look around the building, or would you prefer to go straight for some refreshments?

[There are still others taking tests, though that's why the other teachers are also around, to make sure someone is always in the room observing.]

[Hmm. A familiar face, though not quite a student hovering around...]

Quinn, was it?

Yes! Quinn Morgendorffer. [gives a small nod] I'm ready for my test!

Excellent.

[She moves over to the table, pulling out a booklet, spare paper and a mechanical pencil, before stepping back to the door to talk to her.]

This should be all you need. Did you have any questions before you get started?

How much time do I have? Not that I'll take forever or anything, I'm just curious.

Considering it's not exactly an ordinary test, time isn't an issue. Usually I like to have things wrapped up after three hours, but it's not a problem if someone needs more time. There will likely be topics that may seem overly easy, and those that seem too difficult. Just give it your best shot, and skip questions if you're stuck, or indicate it's not something you've learned.

[Quinn nods, making several mental notes. Three hours, skip anything you don't know. Got it.] Thank you, Ms. Sage.

You're welcome.

[She nods toward the classroom door.] Just make sure your seats are spread out - at least two or more chairs in each direction.

[There aren't that many students, and there are other rooms if needed.]

[A... Jumpsuit? Okay.

Zuko folds his arms and sits back in his chair.]

You go first.

[Lee seems more gung-ho about it. So. Not that Zuko is as bad as Sokka, but he's not the best artist either.]
