Welcome to Gaia! ::

As the class questions went on, Aloe wrote down rough notes of the questions and their answers. Her notes were simplistic, leaving out a good few details, but her memory was good enough that she'd only need the rough notes to jog her memory when needed.
For a short moment, she pondered why the Headmistress refered to her as Bluebell. She thought about the names the Headmistress had called everyone else, and realised they were all flower names. 'Oh. Now i get it.' She thought, and then returned her attention to the lesson.

The now current question about what Shinigami do to Hollows was actually a rather clear memory in Aloe's mind, and the question instantly jogged it to the front of her thoughts. This time she didn't raise her hand, since no one else had done so after she had, and answered, "Shinigami are supposed to cleanse a Hollow they encounter with their zanpakuto. I think it was called, sublimation, and it cleanses the Hollow of their sins and turns them back into a Plus."

"Alright, that's what I wanted to hear. Try to remember that even if we purify the Hollow by sublimation and return the souls to their original state, we cannot erase sins they have committed while still human. Corrupted souls go to hell, even if we manage to cleanse them of their Hollow form."
Ren clapped her hands repeatedly together, trying to clean a bit of the chalk remains off her hands.
"Now, let us leave Hollow aside for a while and look at another aspect of a Shinigami's life. After graduating the academy, you all probably wish to join the famous Gotei 13. Now which one of you will tell me a bit about it?"

((As you might have noticed, the bio part in Ren's profile is practically empty. This is to not reveal some of our plot. However, it is in the plot makers' interest (so mine and Ezzelinn's smile ), if you ask her every once in a while a question about her past - she might not answer you directly, but you could slowly make yourselves a picture of what has already happened and what might *winkwinkhinthint* ^^))

Yukiko scribbled down notes, her face looking at the paper as she listened to what everyone else said, making little side notes on the side with picture references to help her remember. The Gotei 13. "There's the leader of the Gotei 13... whose Captain of Squad 1, The Sou-taicho (Captain-Commander)? ...and then there are 12 taichous (captains) for squads 2-13, and a fuku-taichou (Vice Captain) for each squad, right?" Yuki whispered to herself, unsure of whether she should say it outloud or not. The wooden part of the brush rested under her lower lip as she thought. "Hrm..."

((Just in case: tomorrow a time change will occur again - the first lesson is going to end. I'm on a field trip with my school, which means I won't be able to post until probably 24 hours from now. When the time change occurs, please feel free to move your characters out of the classroom, like you would at the end of a RL lesson, even if my character is still waiting for an answer. I'll just make it seem as if the bell rang and you went out like you're supposed to. The next lesson will then begin on Monday the 21st, I'll post the first post of the 2nd part of Shinigami around 3 pm CET. Be sure to bring your characters back into the classroom by then, if you do not wish to be punished.))

As the question was asked by the teacher the bell rang. The ringing of this bell meant that it was time to leave this class. When the bell rang he quickly stood up and headed towards the door. As he reached up to open the door he turned around and waved. ''Bye James, Tsabiume. Hope to see you soon.'' With that he opened the door and walked out. Trace was still having problems adjusting in this big uniform he was forced to wear. It was a long story as to how he have to wear the uniform. This was the smallest they had and this was too big for him. They would have to make him a new one that fitted him. He went to his dorm.

(Exit)

With the class now over, Aloe shuffled all her papers together neatly and put them under her arm to take with her. 'I'm really going to need a bag.' She told herself out loud in a quiet voice, before she turned to Yukiko just as the woman asked if she would sit by her again.
"Your welcome. Sure, i'll sit next to you next class." Aloe replies with a bright smile and waves goodbye as Yukiko leaves the class.

Now on her own, Aloe pondered what to do during the break. She glanced down to James, seeing that he had made two new friends, though one was leaving. She almost decided to go back to him and just hang out for the break, until her train of thought was interuppted by her stomach rumbling.
'Oh, right. I haven't eaten yet.' She said to herself. Thinking that she was on her own, Aloe made her silent thoughts vocal. 'Guess I'll go find somewhere to eat. I think i remember a cafe. I'll go find that.'
Getting up from her seat, Aloe left the classroom to go find the cafe. She only works off a vague memory of where to go, but it should be enough to find her way with only a little wandering.

[Exits to the Cafe]

((Ok, being away the whole weekend unexpectedly and not having any time tonight before the time skip... I'll just make a single post for James as if he never left the room.))

James was waiting classroom absentmindedly. He spent the time off in a world by himself, not really thinking about much of anything; it was a time for him to just turn off the mental wheels for a little while. When Aloe walked back in the room he kind of got the signal that class would be starting again soon and started thinking back to the last thing that was discussed in class before the bell. Squad specialties... I have no idea about that, so this should be interesting.
