As instructed I went to the Open House event hosted by the school, the chance to meet possible new teachers that would be replacing the startling lack of staff that ShinKami seems to be experiencing.
There were several gentlemen there and at least one woman. I spoke to only two people, a demon man by the name of Gideon Matthias Burdock, and the woman (human) who introduced herself as Siona Hale.
Mr. Burdock seems to be full of fighting spirit as we exchanged idle banter, though I felt a little disappointed in the answers given to me by Ms. Hale. It's as if she were trying to pick my brain apart instead of actually impress me, which in turn did not make me think much of her.
I am looking forward to seeing who will be brought to ShinKami as staff, mostly as a Magic Student in need of a few good teachers but also as . . .

Today I had been assigned the role of tour guide for a new student, Wynn Darbinian, and despite how cliche it seemed considering I couldn't find my own way around this island no matter how hard I'd tried before I agreed to do the task and not complain about it. The weather was cooler outside, we're approaching winter quickly, but it still seemed nice enough for a tour.
I waited outside the main dorm and was approached by Wynn, who quickly took to me and was friendly enough during the tour. He seemed rather ill at ease at first about being the only one from his home village here, but couldn't the same thing be said about all the other students? I have yet to see any, other than Weiyuan and RuiZhi, that are from the same country even. I think this may because of ShinKami's desire to have as many different cultures under their wing as possible, though I can't help but wonder if that's the only reason.
We walked the grounds and I gave the tour properly, making sure to let him know as much as he would need, though we did stop when I mentioned hot drinks. It seems he had a rather strong fondness for hot chocolate, something he was drinking even before he approached me, and I can't help but find that rather...adorable. In fact, everything about him seems very young and innocent.
We had a drink together before I had to cut our time short thanks to classes, but I asked him to contact me if he ever needed anything. I don't believe we'll ever meet up again, but it's worth a shot if not for the drinks. . .

I'd rather not talk about what occurred tonight while I was at the public baths at the local mall, but seeing as I need to record all that happens here for memories sake and for future reference should I need to recall something that happened in a time of need.
I was washing up in the baths and was about to go soak in the tub when I heard someone coming in, said person turning out to be Gideon Matthias Burdock (refer. Head Research Professor), and needless to say he wasn't as embarrassed about getting naked where others were.
He seemed to recall who I was, even addressing me by my name (last name not given at time of meeting), and also seemed to have absolutely no problem with sitting there naked before me. A student.
We didn't speak of much during the time we spent soaking and we parted ways shortly after I showed him the school cafeteria so he wouldn't have to go to the mall's food court every time he wanted something to eat. All in all it was rather uneventful despite the sudden meeting and parting.
Omitted Material: Conversation about Mother, Questions about Father.

The hell does she think she is?
Trying to place me, calling me depressed. Woman needs a taste of the actual reality surrounding us students.
If I hit woman, or were at least more than civil to them, I would have spit in her face or punched her.
Gah. I hope to God we never met again.

I came into the classroom very late thanks to a pit stop to get some food, an apple, when I happened into the middle of a conversation between Nash (refer. letter 1o) and Sasha (refer. Ivanova, Alexander). They seemed to be talking about the invasion, and as I have few memories of it there was nothing I could really add or take away from their conversation. Nash did not seem to recall much while Sasha was a bit more detailed.
Our meeting did not last long at all, though we did discuss any future events ShinKami may be having, like a Christmas Party. There was idle thoughts on that, though they soon stopped and we all parted ways to go and do different things - Nash to his studies and Sasha to his books. I came back home, ready to take this course properly on my computer.
Omitted Material: Halloween Party information

[ roleplay link may be located here ] - this was not written down, instead it was spoken aloud to an empty room later that evening -
How long as it been since I last cried? I can't even remember, I think it may have been Mother's funeral.
So ten years? Ten years since I last cried over something?
I find that a little hard to believe, since I'm sure I've had a pet or something die on me. Or I would have had a pet if they were allowed. I...mother...
All of her memories are gone, up in smoke. That doll, Kelpie...
Mother was really sick when she made that for me, you know? She was having a hard time seeing too so she'd always poke her fingers and the cloth and cotton eventually got really bloody. She didn't wash it off because it'd ruin the fabric even more, so it was like...
It was like she was living through that doll, with her blood flowing inside it.
I couldn't really tell the Professor that, with him seeming only to think the violin was important. I hate that stupid instrument, wish to God it had exploded or something and taken out person with it. It seems though that since it survived I should go and get it back. Maybe even play it once or twice a week instead of a month.
I need to thank him instead of crying. I'll try to do that next time we meet.

A mock escape attempt today sort of succeed, or at least it got me out of the building for a little while. I've been going slightly sit-crazy being stuck inside that cold room with nothing to do (they won't get me anything sharp or a book) but fortunately for me I happened to try my hand at getting out at a good time.
I was preparing to get out when I actually fell out of the bed and onto the floor, probably not my most graceful moment yet with this huge cast on my leg, and would have probably stayed laying there for a moment or two if someone hadn't happened by and opened the door.
Said person was Canaan Tate Kreery, a new student to the school who arrived around the same time as Wynn (refer. letter 3v2), and even though he had no idea who I was or why I was on the floor he still helped me up and into a wheelchair. He didn't talk much, hardly more than a handful of words at a time (or answering with a grunt) but I did manage to gather a name from him and a bit about his past and where he came from.
Cane (refer from here out) took me outside even though I know I would have gotten in trouble, and the cold actually felt...nice. We talked for a little while out there and he brought me back inside, though I must admit I didn't get nearly enough information.
I doubt we'll see each other again. . .

I revisted the anatomy classroom today in order to try and recopy notes that had been ruined during the aftermath of the explosion, but instead I took to reading a book in the sunshine. It felt nice to be out of that cold room after being unable to leave for over a week, and as I browsed my book I was unaware that another student had entered the room until a voice came over my shoulder.
It was Cane (refer. letter v2 o9), the boy I had met before and had been taken outside by. It seemed like he needed to take this class for credits and since I was here for pretty much the same reason I offered us to work together. He accepted the idea and we proceeded to move onto a lesson about the human body and its skeletal system.
Cane takes notes with drawings, just like I do, and must admit I was pretty impressed by the quality of his work. He was quick and it was detailed, making me think he likes to draw more than just skulls and other bones. I wonder if I ask would I be allowed to see anything more, as a fellow sketcher of sorts?
We talked for a little while on the subject at hand, and he signed my cast before he invited me to study with him later in return for a meal. I shall have to take him up on his offer sometime.
Omitted Materials: Caneen's inability to read- this was noted at the bottom of the entry, written small as if he added it in afterward -
I don't really understand why, but when I'm around Cane my chest seems to hurt and I can't control my body temperature. I'm thinking it may be because of the medicine I'm taking as well as stress from the injuries I'm still trying to recover from.
I think I need to ask a doctor if that is the case, but it seems a little embarrassing and I don't want to admit that someone may be making me have chest pains. It sounds stupid and I don't want to be mocked for something that can be easily explained. Maybe I should just talk to Scyeth or that one Professor about this . . .
I hope whatever it is, it goes away really soon.

I met up with Nash again today and we chatted a bit about our studies before we both decided to work on Spanish together. I told him it was not a substitute for Latin, which he would certainly need, and he seemed to understand and honestly be interested in learning.
It made me happy to be teaching someone else for once, and it acted like a perfect refresher course for me too. We did not go into extreme detail over anything, just sticking to the basic ser and and estar verbs.
Hopefully when we met again I will be able to teach him more and not feel so tired. It would be interesting to have someone else around here that would speak Spanish with me . . .

Today was Scyeth's seventeenth birthday, and a party was thrown to celebrate it as well as the coming of the winter solstice. I came to offer my gifts and congratulations to my friend, seeing as he's the person I've known the longest and probably the best. It's scary to think of it, but we have known each other for over a year now.
I brought a present with me for him, some homemade hacky sacks since I know how much he likes to move around (and how he seems to be full of energy so soon), so I can only hope he likes them and perhaps even wants to use them one day. It was pretty hard to sew with my fingers like they are, but I managed to make them and it sort of allows me to feel proud. Like there isn't anything that can really stop me from sewing.
There were other students there today, all of them ones I knew. Wynn, RuiZhi, even Weiyuan showed up. The latter didn't stay very long, as he seemed off to do something, but Scyeth really showed happiness at having RuiZhi there. I guess having someone to care for does make a person happy.
Oh, also...Cane was there. He. . .we're going to study later, I think he's worried about his grades, and that seems fun to me. He and Wynn are both of Native American decent it seems, so they're fast friends. That makes me happy too . . .

It's around Christmas. One night, you heard a small noise outside of your dorm room. By the time you opened the door, the mysterious stranger had already vanished, leaving you with a brown, unadorned box at your feet.
Upon opening the box, you found a plushie strangely resembling yourself. Attached with the plushie is a small piece of notecard that says: Quote: To Micajah:
Merry Christmas! Unfortunately the administrators have been really busy to host a formal event...so here is a small present from yours truely. You have been a great addition to our school, and we truely appreciate you being here with us. Keep up the good works, and have a great holiday!
P.S. Your application is being processed right now, expect a promotion prompt soon. :3

Only a few days before New Years...
Norman stretched lazily in his office. The headmaster had been working with the administrators to plan events for Shinkami for the year to come. He looked at the single pile of paperworks that were left on his neatly polished desk. This batch was the last ones. Yawning, the headmaster leaned forth to pick up the first sheet on top of the pile, only to slip his hand, knocking over the entire stack. Norman frowned and cursed soundlessly, knowing that it was past midnight and a sudden shout from the offices that no one was supposed to be in at this hour (well, maybe except for a certain doctor who he never got along with) would no doubt create strange rumors and make his life a little harder on the next day. He sighed, and began to pick up the paperworks one by one. In the middle of it, a neatly sealed envelope dropped out. The headmaster's eyes widened for a breif moment as he realized that the letter was from no ordinary sender...
Thankfully, the letter was not directly addressing to him. Rather, it was a request (a command, rather), to be delivered to a certain student. Norman knew the said student had a rather exceptional family origin, but this...this was a bit too formal wasn't it? Either way, it was an important task. The letter must be delivered immediately.
growth prompt Norman has received a letter requesting Micajah to return home and join his family for a new years dinner party. While this is within reasons, one could not help but to think if Mica's family wanted him for some other reason. Will you abide by your father's request and return home for the party, or will you decline? Write a journal entry in regards to this issue, choosing from ONE of the following: 1. If you were to accept, describe, in no less than 800 words, this party that Mica was required to attend. What happened, was it just an ordinary party? Focus on the relationship between Mica and his family, specifically his view on them.
2. If you were to decline, write a letter to your father in no less than 800 words explaining why you would not return home for the party. Make sure to include Mica's personal feelings in regards to his family.
