[Field Class] The Mysterious Field Trip (Pg 6!)

[Enoh Love]

The notice had gone up the week before. It was a simple note, nothing incredibly special about it - but it announced an upcoming field trip to those who were interested. It had read as follows:

ALL DAY FIELD TRIP
Meet by the busses at 6:00am Moonday the 24th if interested

The only indication that this had been a real posting was that it hadn't been taken down all week. There was no hint as to where they would be going, or who would be over seeing it, or much of anything: it only promised an all day field trip at an ungodly hour on the worst day of the week. Not entirely promising.

Strangely enough, it was real.

At 5:00am on the appointed day, Professor Winter could be seen waiting by the busses, dressed as exquisitely as ever despite the early morning. All she had with her was a few papers attached to a clipboard and a pen, and all she seemed to be doing was waiting for the fabled interested students. Or maybe her faculty partner for this trip.

THE MYSTERIOUS FIELD TRIP

Your student has the chance to avoid their classes for the day, however, they not only have to get up super early, but they have no idea where they're going!

If you are still interested in this not at all suspicious field trip, please do the following:
- Have your student ICly approach Professor Winter OR Professor Zephron to sign in.
- They must tell either Professor their name, their year, and their faction.
- They can then either hang around outside, or go claim a seat on one of the busses.

SIGN UPS WILL LAST UNTIL 11:59PM (EASTERN TIME) MONDAY AUGUST 24TH

Field trip time! Field trip! How exciting. How interesting, how different. They would get to meet new creeple and see new sights.

Carlos nodded along.

This time he would try to keep it simple for Professor Winter.

"Carlos
knob
Ghost."

he nodded at her with a grin. Did he do good? Carlos did good.

It was still dreadfully early, the perfect time for hunting a nice mouse mini, but today there would be no hunt. So Carlos had brought some crackers as a snack instead. This etiquette thing was hard but he would do his best. He climbed aboard the bus and picked out a seat near the front. he wanted to see all the things.  

[kuropeco]

The question was, really, how had he managed to get roped into this in the first place.

It wasn't like he'd been doing anything in particular. In fact, for the most part, he'd been simply minding his own business when he'd been accosted and dragged off to do student duty. And, well, here he was, strolling casually up to the bus - only to find that he wasn't the only one.

"Ah."

Professor Zephron, potions master extraordinaire and part time detention monitor, sidled up to Professor Winter, hands in his pockets, tail flicking behind him.

"Well then," he said, stopping in front of her. And then said nothing else, just quirked a brow.

Winter smiled down at Carlos as he introduced himself properly. No riddles, no tricks, just the information she wanted from him. She knew him already of course, but a formality was a formality, and she wrote down his information as it was supplied.

"Very good! Thank you, Carlos. Please go take a seat." She let him go with a nod of approval, and then turned to see the next student - then looked down at the familiar face, and the quirked brow. The Demoness stared blankly back for a heartbeat, and then offered a wide, teasing grin.

"Name, Year and Faction?"

The only real 'field trip' esque experience that Sidron had was maybe the trip from the village to Amity. Not that it was really a field trip, but it was the most traveling he had done. And he was getting pretty cooped up in the school already.

Sidron approached the bus. Eyeballing it wearly. It seemed really small compared to the tall dragon boil. He could probably see somewhat over the top if he stood on his tip toes. Tucking his wings in tight against his back, he approached the Professor. Orange eyes glowing with mild curiosity as to where exactly this bus was going.

"Sidron, first year, Monster...." Was that really all she needed? It seemed like a bit more information should be required but he wasn't going to poke his nose into this professors business or how she wanted to run things. Making his way into the bus, Sidron had to duck and squeeze into one of the seats until he was somewhat comfortable.  

[Smerdle]

Brenley—who was commonly awake at six in the morning on most days anyway—approached the bus with a bit of apprehension. The last time he had boarded one, he had ended up climbing entirely too many mountains and bringing home a pair of rideable nuisances that had made his life at least two hundred percent more interesting. The proverb kind of interesting, not the good kind.

Even so, he could not avoid this. If it was the first of Professor Winter's sessions on Halloween culture he especially wanted to be there.

"Brenley, Hob, Reaper," he lied, checking to make sure his satchel was still with him and his cloak was pulled over his head as he reluctantly inched toward their suspicious mode of transportation.

Gabby looked demure, instead of his normal pompous arrogance, for this particular trip. He was at Professor Winter's side, giving her just the information she required, and nothing more.

"Gabriel, second year knob, from the ghost faction." His voice was clipped, and he found he had trouble meeting her eyes. He remembered exactly what this field trip might have been inspired from, and he knew he'd had nothing to do with it.

Because he couldn't have.

He trudged up into the bus immediately, pointedly ignoring the ghost near the front as he moved all the way to the back, as far as he could go, and slunk down in a seat until he was all but unseen. The window at the back of the bus began to frost up in his presence, indicating the kind of mood he was in - and just how approachable he might have been.

Field trip?! FIELD TRIP! Sibyl loved field trips! She remembered the last one she got to wear a pretty dress and she played with the humans and they were all dressed funny but she got to be really pretty and it was lots of fun and oh yay Gabby was here and new faces she didn't recognize oh Jack this was going to be the BEST DAY EVER!

Sibyl came bouncing up with all the joy of what she expected was going to be a promising day, raising one arm to give the professor a big wave as if she wasn't standing two feet from her. "HIIIIIIIII~! I'm Sibyl! A second year! Uh..oh...oh! Yeah! A knob! And I'm a monster~!" She announced proudly, even puffing out her chest a little and putting her hands on her hips. Yes, totally a monster. She then hurried away from the professor to climb onto the bus (she'd never been on a bus before how exciting!!!!!) and looked all around..while...shoving an entire fish into her mouth.

What? Excitement made her hungry.  

[kuropeco]

All she got was a very flat look.

"Professor Zachary Zephron, hellhound, and if you make me tell you any more, I'll tell the entire class about the minipet incident our third year of school."

enoh love

Gabby slunk down lower.

The window iced over completely.

Yes, he's noticed you, Sibyl.  

[thyPOPE]

Puella was hovering, a little bit. Was this okay? Was she invited? Well, it was worth a try - and there was a surprising amount of creeple hovering around the buses at an hour like this. She approached at a bounce, because she'd been smart and had slept early the night before in preparation. Something about the idea of getting on a bus to get away from school caused trepidation in her, but on the other hand...she'd gone to Miasma Village and gained for herself the coolest pet ever. So that'd been a good thing, right?

She looked about, bleary-eyed, for blue, and approached Professor Winter happily when she did so. There was a little line of creeple around her waiting for the go-ahead, and Puella had to say she was surprised. She recognized some of those boils! So when it came to her turn she hovered, a bit spacily, before turning her attention back to Professor Winter. "O-oh! I'm Puella; I'm a first year demon!"  

[Enoh Love]

Professor Winter gave Professor Zephron a long, appraising look. Was he bluffing? Was he not? Chances were certainly in favour of the latter. Her lips pressed into a thin line, before easing into a more natural setting: namely, a small smile, the one she gave when she was attempting to look friendly.

"You're no fun, Professor Zephron." She grumbled so only he could hear her. "It's not my fault you look like a student." She hummed innocently before passing along the second clipboard which had, up until that very moment, been balancing on the hood of the nearby bus. "But if I must be stuck with you, you might as well help with the work."

Then she could turn and address the other students that had signed up in the mean time, jotting down the information as it was given, and directing them to either loiter outside or get on the bus now. Sidron was given a briefly worried look - but he would find that the interior of the bus was surprisingly roomy, even for someone of his stature - while Sibyl was given a blank stare, and the most brief wave back in return. This wasn't an Etiquette Class, she reminded herself. There was no need to correct unnecessary behaviour, if it was innocent. Gabriel, Brenley and Puella were given welcoming nods in addition to their direction, and then left to their own devices.

Who to sit with. The boil in blue over there? The big dragon-y looking boil over there? Maybe he was nice! Gabby was a nice dragon, so that meant all dragons were nice. Oh! A reaper? He looked nice! She hummed cheerfully as she walked down the aisle of the bus, chewing on the whole fish she had just crammed in her face.

Eh? Ohh, that window was all frosty and icy! Gabby must have done that! Squealing with delight, Sibyl hurried down the aisle until she found Gabby. At first she wanted to say hello, but with her mouth full she found herself physically incapable of opening her mouth enough to utter any words yet.

So instead Sibyl simply invited herself to climb on Gabby's lap as best as she could and give him a biiiiiiiig hug.

NO JACK SIBYL WHY-

Gabby bolted up to sit up straight, and glared down at the ghoul that had just made herself comfortable on his lap of all places. His icy stare was intimidating, as usual, and would likely be ignored, as usual.

"Do you mind," He hissed out, his hands flailing at her, and his lap, and everything in between.

Sibyl's eyes widened and she tilted her head to one side. Clearly she didn't get it. Instead of answering, wide eyes simply stared up at him while she chewed on her fish snack. It was only when she was able to finally swallow it did she open her mouth to answer him, though not without the tiniest of teeny tiny little burps escaping her first. "Oopsie. 'Scuse me!" She giggled.

"Hi, Gabby!" Clearly she didn't mind. Instead she grinned. "Why're you making the window all icy? Can you see out it better like that?"
