Herbology Class - Taking new Students

[Aiko Kusenai]

Welcome to my classroom. I teach 'Herbology', a subject which is perfect for those of you with green fingers, thumbs, and deeper roots. I will be acepting a maximum of ten students into this class - you will need to be able to accept help and corrections, happy to discuss any criticism I might make, and be prepared to do some actual work. I also want people willing to learn what I shall be teaching, which will not be all about plants all of the time. I hope to endow you with a deeper understanding of the world which surrounds us.

Students should have the following skills if they wish to join my class;

• You will try to post in one tense, rather than switching from past, to present, to future.
  
• You will try to spell accurately and use correct grammar.
  
• You will mind your manners while in my classroom. There will be no abuse towards other students, swearing and try to keep flirtation to the barest minimum.you may include it into a description of her
  
• You will try to meet my deadlines.
  
• You will try and follow my rules to the letter, any confusion may be questioned in PM.

To join my class, please send me an application, I would like to recieve the following information;

• What, if anything, interests you about Herbology and plantlife in general.
  
• A short biography. (The bio will be used for the register, and for my own personal records.)
  
• An example post. (So that I can assess your ability in roleplay.)

When I have five students, I shall begin my first class. Do not post your bio in this thread - I will delete it. If you want others to know what you look like, mix this in with your posts. Do not post things that a casual observer could not know from your appearance alone, such as 'Her favourite colour was purple and she loved to eat strawberries in the afternoon.' However you may hint at these things, for instance 'She was wearing a lot of purple today, suggesting that she liked the colour rather a lot.'

As you traverse the corridor you walk past a small wooden door that is set with black iron studs. You strain hard and push the door open slowly, hearing the creak of long disused iron hinges coming into action again. The sight that greets you upon entering is one that you might gaze upon with awe. Ahead of you, at the back of the room, is a small wooden desk adorned with various plants in an odd assortment of colours and shapes. Behind that is a blackboard which, oddly enough, is covered in hand-shaped mud splats. On this is a messy scrawl, barely readable, which seems to be your new tutors name. It reads (you think):

Professor Hazel .T. Woodrow
Herbology

You look to the left of you and see rows of small desks, each with an identical plant in a pot resting on the right hand corner. Beyond the desks and against the wall are large mahogany bookshelves crammmed tightly with books. On the top of these rest a large assortment of plants and jars of dried things. In front of the bookshelves, on the floor, are piles of books precariously stacked and in no uncertain order.

As your gaze moves to the right, before you reach the desk again, you see a small window looking out into the grounds. On the windowsill are yet more plants, all jostling for light and air. Past the tutors desk as your gaze takes you to the right now you see yet more rows of desks with plants on the corners. You look past these and see a dark shadowy part to the room, under a stone archway. Through here is the door to the greenhouse and the store cupboards but you don't really want to know what else lurks behind the darkness.

The ceiling is high and made from stone, with glass panels to let in light. The stone and oak beams are all adorned with various creepers and climbing plants casting an eerie green glow about the place. Stone pillars run up the sides of the room, holding the ceiling in place, giving the classroom the feel of a church or similar building. Stacked around the room are wooden sticks of sizes, trellis, terracotta pots, trowels, compost and plenty of other odd items.

You take your seat and wait for the lessons to begin.

As afore mentioned, the blackboard has the following scrawled upon it in a rather messy cursive, as if the writer of the letters doesn't seem to care much for writing.
