[Class 2] Botany Basics(No Homework // Wrap-up)

[Strait Jacket Girl]

((OTL This lateness is in no way Cadmus's fault but rather my own family issues))

Upon entering the Classroom the broad reads as follows:

Welcome back to class

Herbs and You: I

Today's plans:
MYSTERY

Homework:
Last Classes Homework is due by the end of class.
Today's: Learning the Guide.

Cadmus pleased with his punctuality contently looked about the classroom. It was empty and by all means it should be, he was pleased that he was just slightly early. The lock was unlocked and it only awaited students to start coming in. He thought about opening the door and prolong it open, but in just his luck he'd get up get distracted and then he'd be late. Not this time Oh no not this time at all.

Book  

[Roxy_roxanna2]

Sin sighed as she stepped into class, Botany was boring so far well there had been some useful information but it was still boring. She eyed her book with distaste, oh she liked reading well enough, but this book was just facts and information about plants. Plants, really what was so great about green leafy plants? She wished they could talk about something pretty at least, flowers maybe or making perfume.

Still she had signed up and she was bound and determined to be respectful towards her professors. She slowly sat down and glanced up at the board pulling out her notes and her homework. She had managed a fair enough sketch of what she thought Southernwood looked like. Of course she didn't really know the names of lot of plants so she could hardly identify them on sight.

Riley seemed strangely unnerved as she entered the class. She held no books, as usual - but in her hand was clenched her homework, on a single sheet of paper. She laid the paper out on a desk as she took her seat, and stared, very deeply, at the wood of the desk. She made absolutely no attempt to look up at, or greet, the professor. No, this table was far too interesting. Her hands folded discreetly in front of her, and she sat in an eerie but poised stillness, eyes turned down.  

[Rii_Hon]

Entering the class, Livi was still reading his book. Despite studying a lot more, he made sure that he made it in ample time and wasn't late... hopefully? A glance up from his book showed that he wasn't late and he was very relieved and pleased at the same time. His homework was... somewhat done. He hoped the Professor wouldn't mind that it looked horrible.

Oh, he also needed to ask him for some lavender extract to help out his Luka... he needed to find the Greenhouse but could ask after class.  

[Sosiqui]

Malodore slipped in and took a seat, setting its book on the desk and then removing its homework from within its pages. It had pondered for some time, researched the Doctrine of Signatures - which stated that things good for treating various maladies of the body would somehow resemble the parts of the body they would effectively treat.

... of course, given that this wasn't precisely scientifically true, it couldnt quite bring itself to illustrate it. Sigh. To ameliorate this failing, it had chosen to draw a plant that mentioned nothing of curative properties, instead basing its work on the Frog's Breath...



Not a terrible attempt, really. It hoped the Professor would show them what the plants were really like, just so it could see how close it had come...

This time, Astra made sure to get to class as early as possible, not wanting to make a spectacle like the last time she had arrived. She flew it, picking a seat near Riley again, then sat down at her desk, taking out a piece of paper With a picture of a big red flower on it. To her, it had made sense that ti would be a big red flower. She wasn't sure it was called a blood rat, but she hoped this would be closer enough to the real thing.  

[Smerdle]

It was Botany time again, which wouldn't have been a problem at all if it hadn't previously been Music time. West hurried into class, his textbook under one arm, and took his customary seat in the back of the room. He was actually on time and prepared? It was a miracle. Slightly less miraculous was the intense glower that was spread across his face. No, that wasn't miraculous or even rare, it was mundane, at least in West's world.

Once the wrath demon was seated, he cracked open his book and retrieved his homework, slamming the book shut again and placing it on top. The assignment had caused him a bit of difficulty, mostly because he had no idea how he was supposed to draw a plant he had never seen. Thankfully, there had been an entry in the textbook that he could work with, even if his supposed familiarity with the subject matter had nothing to do with plants. There must have been a reason the disgustingly happy witch was called that in the first place, right?

West leaned back in his seat and began picking at his nails, waiting for class to begin.  

[moonlit-raven]

He had actually made it Botany on time, all ready with his homework, and everything. He was fairly pleased with this fact, and found a seat in the middle of the room. He liked being in the middle, close enough that he could participate if he really wanted to, but far enough in the back that the teacher wasn't right there in front of him.

He pulled out the paper, and looked it over, checking that it was finished. It wasn't a bad job for a plant that he hadn't ever seen before, and he hoped that it would be good enough for the professor.

 

[Kyrieko]

LW ran towards her class. She was going to be late again, wasn't she? Jackdamnit! Her minipets had gotten into a fight and then she hadn't been able to find her homework, which she was actually proud of. Probably was going to be the one and only nice bit of homework she turned in to any class. But she had been inspired while sitting outside with a small set of paints! And...she hadn't been distracted. That was the key there. Too bad this didn't happen very often.

Skidding around the corner, the she-wolf slid into the classroom and blinked. Oh man she wasn't late yet? Awesome! Sheepish smile on her face and tail wagging a little, LW moved to take an open seat and await the start of class. Once seated, she pulled out her book to retrieve her homework that she had shoved in there while rushing to get here... and then stared in horror. What...w-why.... SKULLS! The paint had still be wet. That was why it had been sitting on her dresser in the first place. What had once looked lovely like so...now looked like this-

A groan escaped and the she-wolf just let her head fall against the desk, tail pooling along the floor. It really was too much to ask for a break, wasn't it?  

[Manda]

Aksaja shuffled into the classroom after a few minutes, looking rather like he wished he was anywhere else but here. He didn't like plants, didn't see why it was so important to learn about them, and he especially hadn't wanted to draw some stupid plant.

So he'd picked something that at least sounded interesting. The Jumping Bean. Though in his opinion that was pretty stupid. How could a bean jump? Well. Obviously these beans must have legs . . . and maybe faces. Before he knew it, he'd drawn a whole little scene of Jumping Beans, including one that had fallen down and another that was laughing at it. Heh. Perfect.

Junko hurried into the classroom, having stayed up that night to work on her homework and...not getting very far. She just would not stop trying to help! Luckily she'd formulated a plan; Junko was too tired to braid her hair and stop Her...so...she was going to be a very, very bad ghoul.

She was doing her homework in class.

She had her snakepens, she had paper, she had notes, she had her book, and she had an assorted number of colored pencils. Junko just had to hope that she could get away with this.  

[Strait Jacket Girl]

Cadmus was pleased, the class was going to begin soon and already students had begun to fill into the room. He glanced at the clock again and sighed. He was more then ready to start the teaching but he'd have a whole minute left till he was suppose to start.

"Okay Class, today were discussing Herbs. Which in the basic broad sense of things is what we've been talking about but today we will get into medicinal properties and next class we will cover magical properties. Take a few minutes now to look over your book, as usual there are extras in the back if you forgot your book.

Feel free to mark in your books they are yours to keep."  

[MoonKitsune]

Calder has heard of Botany, but had no idea what it was. It wasn't until he heard it was about plants from some passing students leaving the first class that he was interested. Plants? He knew plants! He ate them all the time, and his family used them all the time. For cooking and because his family lived in Nowhere Woodlands central, for whatever little ailments that didn't require them to rush to the nearest mad scientist or deranged doctor. It took some figuring out where exactly this class was, and he spent a good time going in circles, not to mention he had to work to walk the long ways half the time to avoid ponds, rivers, and streams that meandered through the campus.

When he arrived, he saw that not only was he late, but everyone seemed to be opening books. M-Maybe he should try the next class, but seeing as he was already here, he slowly opened the door and slipped in, tip-clomping is way to find a vacant seat and hopefully not be noticed. With any luck, the professor would just naturally assume he had been there for the first class, and he could figure out what this class was all about. Hopefully they would be munching on something good. He missed breakfast that morning and was really in the mood for something savory.

Riley heard the settling of a student nearby, and turned to see - oh thank Jack - Malodore seating itself for class. It was only a seat away, but Riley got up, clutched her homework, and moved to the seat next to it. Her head inclined just slightly in a force of habit move when she sent an affectionate nudge into it's mind, and just barely managed to notice that Astra had taken her previous seat and sat beside her. She didn't get a chance to greet either of them further, however, because it happened.

"TENTA-FACE!"

Riley sunk further down into her seat.

She could feel him leaning towards her from behind, and turned her head just in time to come face to face with him, inches away. His whisper had her forcing down a blush, which she proudly managed to do. Her eyes, however, betrayed her as they slit and flared with anger.

I come to every class this way. If any Professor has a problem with it, I would explain myself and there would be no further issue.

Her eyes fluttered down to his homework, and one eyebrow cocked. What in Jack's name.. am I smiling?

Yes. THAT is what surprised her most out of his homework.

She swiveled back around when the Professor's voice, and then her chest rose and fell as she took a deep, calming breath. She didn't get up to get a new book, despite not having one in front of her. The entire text was already carefully categorized and available for her at a moment's thought.
