Student name: Jango
Prompt: Too much sugar.
Response: Jango, on the other hand, didn't have to worry about eating too many sweets. Being part doll, and his body largely possessing doll features, the boy didn't have to worry about over-eating. All the boy could comfortable ingest was a special tea. Jango didn't have much in the way of tastebuds in order to taste food with. So this was a rather easy exercise for Jango.

"I'll just continue to not eat," was his answer. Shouldn't the teacher thought of this? Didn't the teacher know that there were going to be some students who couldn't eat the sugar anyways? All the same, Jango still wrote down the consequences for the average person eating too much sugar.

Student name: Tsvetan
Prompt: Gymnastics time! (Not sure this is the right name?)





Response:

Tsvetan bit his lip gently and sighed. Strength was definitely not his forte. He doubted he could carry any more than one per hand, and not for a very long distance. He pouted and tested his arms. He approached the pile of bags and picked up one, then two, but when he went back for more he could feel his muscles protesting. His cheeks flushed and he huffed, putting the bags back down. Two it was, then. Weak, but at least it was more than one. Besides, who needed to eat that much candy anyway?! At least he wouldn't be at risk of overeating or wasting the candy...

Student name: Amory
Prompt: Archery, like a shot in the dark!
Response:

The chimera had never shot a bow before, let alone even held one, but she had been gaining height recently, and in a brief moment of rapport with her body, she thought she might actually make a good showing today.

She ignored Thian as she picked up her weapon and took a stance similar to the ones she'd seen on TV, arm bent slightly and feet a good distance apart. Her wings flared out behind her to counter knockback, her tail stayed close for stability, and...

She let go.

The arrow cut through the air with barely a whoosh, sinking into the dead center of the target.

Amory stared. What in Below had she done?

November, 2017
Student name: Georgette
Prompt: Heads up, 7 up
Response: Georgette had never played this game before so he was fairly interested in it. He didn’t get picked to be ‘it’ right from the start so he sat at his desk with his head down and his thumb up, hoping he would get picked by one of the students who were ‘it’. He waited and waited, but no one picked him. The class raised their heads when the teacher called out, and the ones who were picked went up and made their guesses.

The next round started after a few of the ‘it’ students were swapped out from a few lucky guesses. He kicked a hoof against the desk leg nervously, really hoping he’d be picked this time. He almost jumped out of his chair in surprise when he felt someone touch his thumb. Grinning ear to ear as he walked up with the others at the end of the round, he looked over the seven students.

No, not that one, they were scaly and he hadn’t felt scales on his thumb. Not this one either, they had a lot of fur and he’d felt smooth flesh. Maybe this one, near the middle of the group? He said his guess, and the student he picked shook their heads. “It wasn’t me.” they told him. Maybe next time he gets picked he’ll be able to guess right. In the mean time, he went back to his desk, once again kicking the desk leg with his hoofbut with more force now and also muttering. He hated losing, even if it’s just because it was a wrong guess.

Student name: - Mynsed -
Prompt: Heads up, 7 up
Response: Birkita wasn’t interested in playing this game. But the teacher wanted them to. And so, she would. But when the teacher called on students to raise their hands if they wanted to be it the first round, Birkita kept her hand down. And, while she was covering her face on the desk, thumb obediently out, Birkita hoped that no one would press down on her. She didn’t want to be it. The game was pointless.

Her breath was held while she listened carefully for footsteps. It became an entirely different game to her. Rather than wanting to be picked, her tension was over wanting not to be picked. And when the teacher called for heads up, seven up, Birkita felt her own victory from the game.

Student name: Liv
Prompt: Archery, like a shot in the dark!
Response: As Nym took his shot, Liv had been priming her bow herself. Archery...it wasn't something that she was an expert in. She had only tried a handful of times, and they were...shoddy, at best. She liked not to think about it.

But trying it out was worth it. Not because she wanted to pursue it as a hobby but....Nym completely missed. The oaf probably couldn't tell what side had the arrow and just got lucky. She smirked arrogantly as she watched the hybrid turn red. "You mean to tell me that the great and powerful Nym can't even handle a bow and arrow? Pathetic" An unladylike snort fell from her lips as she went from looking at Nym to pulling up the bow and aiming. Honestly, all she wanted to do was hit the target. She didn't expect to hit the middle.

Bullseye. Her eyes went wide, lips parted in astonishment before letting out a nearly uncharacteristic whoop of victory. "Archery is a piece of cake," she gloated, eyes looking towards Nym. Maybe she'd actually pursue archery. Who knew.

Student name: SnowLily
Prompt: Heads up, 7 up
Response: Sitting at her desk, with her head down and thumb up she waited. She secretly hoped no one would pick her, she detested this game she never picked correctly. Always stuck being it until she could figure out who picked her.

Keeping very still she heard footsteps walk up the aisle to her right, the got closer and closer then suddenly they were gone. Whoever it was walked right on by her. Breathing a sigh of relief she waited for the teacher to call Heads up.
