Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I'm pretty sure it's okay. xD
Lightning is actually kind of forgetful, but she was trying to look for a picture for your classroom and got sidetracked. I'm pretty sure Light will be happy to find that you did it for her. =D))

"Gah!" She followed him! Gray looked around suspiciously, and kicked another chair over in front of the door to ensure she couldn't actually get in. As long as she stayed on that side of it...wait. Did she just say she wasn't the only one!?

Bloody fish people and their weird obsession with eating eyes. Especially his! "Oh, I'll be careful. Thank you for your concern."

His gaze fell on a few little beakers, which he gathered up--along with a few other ingredients. Oh yes! And just needed....hrm. Where was it?

He set his ingredients down on a tablet that had alchemic symbols imprinted on the surface, and went to rummage for something else he needed. Yes! He lifted the small bag of Human bones (which he had gotten by totally legitimate and not at all illicit means), and carried it to the table. He was just going to have to make a Human golem. One that looked like him. And then they could steal its eye and be satisfied. Oh yes. He'd been considering this route for some time, but had wanted to perfect his skills before actually attempting it.

This, however, was an emergency. And he was decent enough at a variety of homunculus and golems so it shouldn't be too hard. It didn't even have to be intelligent. It just needed the proper shape. In fact, the less alive it actually was, the better.

He started casually pouring ingredients into a little bowl on the table surface.

"So...what's a Naiad like you doing in a place like this?" he called through the door.

It was edging onto second period when Gray finally managed to find his class. He was glad hed been responsible, and set up everything the day prior. He walked into class adn set his materials on his desk, and did another walk through the check on the student supplies. Everything looked to be in order. Their flasks and bowls awere all things he'd created himself over the course of the school vacation. He had sold Vivian's goods for a tidy profit, and had that money stowed away.

While he was surely not going to be the world's greatest teacher, he did have to admit he didn't mind the prospect of teaching students the basicis of alchemy, passing down his trade and all that. It really did take a special person to work their way up to higher levels--someone, well, hardcore, for lack of a better word. But he could certainly teach them some basic transmutations. They would simply work from the harder things and build up to more expansive and difficult transmutation.

Well, today they would really just go through the history of alchemy, metallurgy, and possibly a bit of basic chemistry and pharmacology. And they would go through their supplies and he would explain what everything was and what it did. Basically, a lovely little introduction. And maybe at the end, they would transmute a few liquids.

First period was a complete waste of time and it didn't put Veith in a good mood. Most of his classmates seemed like idiots and since the teacher didn't show up, he didn't seem like a promising teacher either since a stupid fairy had to take his place. Veith entered the Archaic Science Lab hoping that he'll learn something new unlike last period.

There was one other boy in the classroom who had a sweet aroma of cookies around him. Veith wasn't sure if there was a cooking class in the morning, but he really didn't care. Veith slid into one of the seats in the lab and decided to read to pass time.

"Ah, hello!" Gray said, noting that he had students, as he stepped back into the room from the supply closet. "Everyone can help themselves to a text book as you come into the class and all that. I don't know how much we'll use them, but they're there so you might as well take one. Anyhow, I'm your professor."

"Peregrine Elliott Gray Wellington IV," he said. "But you can call me Professor Gray."

After the very, very odd first period, Sethrian made his way to the Science lab. He didn't know if he was relieved or annoyed to find Vieth there already. As well as some strange person who...appeared to be pulling staples out of his face. Seth arrived just in time to hear the professor's introduction.

And, after taking a text book, he took a seat near the front and began to flip through it as well as examine the array of instruments in front of him. This looked like it was going to be an interesting class. Hopefully it would go over better than first period, at the very least.

He noticed that Kamil was there already as well, and nodded to the other boy. "Hello again."

Veith's life was full of bad luck. He had lost his concentration when he heard an annoying noise of the blue-haired Kamil from this morning. What was an idiot like him doing taking a class like this? Veith doubted that Kamil was even capable of understanding the concepts of alchemy.

Sethrian was also in the class. Veith didn't like to be with him because Sethrian made Veith uncomfortable. The last thing Veith needed were friends. Especially when they were clearly very different species. They probably were only trying to learn his weakness or something. But Veith might as well play along. Although he was certain that Kamil wasn't a threat at all, he felt that it wouldn't hurt to know Sethrian's weakness in case he tries to backstab Veith thinking that Veith was unaware.

"Great. I'm stuck with you again." Veith said, unable to hide the sarcasm in his voice as he glanced up at his book to glance at Kamil. "And I'm not taking these classes to become... 'manly.' I simply just want to further my education."

Veith nodded at Sethrian to acknowledge his greeting.

Kamil grinned at Sethrian as he approached them. "Hey Sethrian! I guess I'd better go grab a book too! I'll be right back! Veith, stay still. I'll get one for you too. It's a really high shelf anyways."

Kamil got out of his seat and started to head for the supply cabinet and managed to get two books for himself and Veith. Kamil was used to sarcastic remarks. He wondered why he was surrounded with gloomy-type people. At least Sethrian was loosening up, but Veith seems like the type to always be so uptight even with friends. Kamil will just have to work hard to crack a smile on that boy. Since they were both rather short guys, he felt a small kinship between them.

Kamil returned to the desk and set down the book beside Veith and took his seat. Sethrian was already examining the material. Kamil tried and realized that he was having a hard time even attempting to read since he had limited education on reading back at the ocean. "Er... the book interesting there, Sethrian?"
