[Feild Class] Like Daisies (OPEN)

[iStoleYurVamps]

The class was scheduled to be in the early morning and would 'offer extra credit to any course a student was currently struggling with.' It also offered 'free food'. Which hey, was nice. The class was fairly straight forward on the flyer. Plant a few plants and weed the school garden. Nothing to crazy. A small lesson on plant life and how to use it for FEAR harvesting and accenting your scare tactics but not a whole lot. The meeting place was the school's entrance, and it listed 'Mr. Darcy' as the teacher.

At the school entrance the normally black, formal clad vampire was dressed in what one could only assume was the most formal gardening clothes. Black wellies, Black slacks, a dark grey button up. Black gardening gloves, and a black straw gardening hat.

He looked ridiculous.

His expression was a mix of tired and reluctance, the sun beaming down even in the early morning light. It wasn't hard to guess why the professor didn't like this course, and as he waved at the various gardening tools, he spoke little.

"Grabs some gloves and a tool. We'll head to the garden soon enough." The tools were simple enough. A hand rake, a root ripper, and shovel. The gloves came in three colors. Green, red and blue. For now, all one would have to do was get their supplies. Darcy seemed more than fine with not moving as it were.

Class? Oh yeah, Carlos was supposed to be attending those. But he had been far too busy napping and enjoying the pumpkin sporadic bouts of sunshine. He probably should take extra credit. He probably should who up to class too but that was another matter. Carlos being a cat didn't often see the point of showing up. He was plenty scary enough, to rats and mice.

the professor looked a bit pale and all dressed in black. Hummm eerie. Though he didn't look to keen on being there. Perhaps he had woken up on the wrong side of the bed Calos bemused to himself.

It looked like he was early which meant he got to have his pick of the things. ohhh this rake looked interesting with it's pointy things. Carlos picked it up and stare out between the spikes with it held up to his eyes. And then down to his teeth. "I'm turning into a monster rawr!" he wiggled the rake grinning behind his new tooth extensions.

Oh look there were other toys. Gloves. Carlos looked down at them an then filled them with illusion claws wiggling a green pair of them about and lifting them in the air. Oooo that looked interesting. Carlos laid down on his back near some of the plants and forgot about getting his clothes dirty and he played with his new toys in the air above him attacking the rake with his gloves. "Rawr!"

Astra had always loved plants and flowers, considering she lived among the various flora of the forest woods she called home. Which was why she was here in this class. Not to mention extra credit was always a nice thing, even if you weren't technically a student anymore. Especially when it involved gardening.

Looking at their teacher for this class, she had the immediate impression of a vampire whom would normally be well dressed and fancy, but instead was wearing the weirdest set of clothes. The poor guy just looked silly.

While another student went about taking their supplies, The fae picked up her own set of blue gloves, then a shovel. A easy enough item to use, and one she had used plenty times before.

She then amused herself watching Carlo's antics, giggling as he played with his own set of tools.

----------

Sludge was here too. As clueless and dumbfounded as usual. He barely paid attention to Mr Darcy, more intent on this 'free food' he had heard about.

He didn't see anything that looked like food, only wooden and metal based items. They weren't things he would normally eat (normal being a subjective term here as there were plenty of things he would eat that others wouldn't) but he was hungry and there was supposed to be food.

The xenomorph picked up a rake and started chewing on the end. It didn't taste that nice. So he took one of the green gloves and chewed on that instead.

Sidron wasn't normally an early riser. Especially not for a class. But perhaps he considered this one maybe a little more essential since his ghoulfriend was basically a plant type monster. Be it a man eating plant but she hadn't tried to eat him yet so maybe there was some valuable information about that little bit.

He was pretty dressed down for the day, a sleeveless shirt and shorts. Dark green hair pulled into a loose ponytail that fell over his shoulder. He approached the meeting place indicated on the flyers, his long tail trailing behind him as he tucked his wings tight against his back.

Why was it so bright today?

The dragon gave a slight glance to the other students milling about. At least he hadn't been the first to arrive. Moving towards the tools he gathered a shovel in one hand and a set of green gloves.

Where had Camilla been the past few months? Studying, avoiding the cold, being a virtual shut in all winter, etc. Now, however, it was spring! It was time to get out and do things! To warm herself in the gentle Pumpkin Sun, catch up with friends, and go on all the adventures she'd been longing to go on all winter!

The online classes she was taking over the winter were fine, but she enjoyed actually going to class and meeting creeple. It was as she was returning from one of these classes that she saw it. A poster; A poster for a new class! Never one to turn down a class if she could help it, Camilla grins excitedly before pulling off the poster and rushing home!

Upon closer inspection of the poster Camilla soon found it was a gardening class! That was even better! The Dormouse ghoul, as most Dormice Monsters did, loved plants! Her flourishing indoor garden was all the proof one needed of that. After donning a old pare of seafoam green knee length bloomers, old loose flowy lavender purple shirt with a folded collar, and a surprisingly nice straw sun hat with a fake purple rose on it, Camilla rushes out! She didn't bother with socks or shoes because it was warm enough now and she liked being barefoot anyway.

Upon arrival, the first thing she saw was a Vampire who looked quite... uncomfortable... His cloths looked a tad bit too... formal for the occasion and his skin didn't seem to be fairing well in the direct Pumpkin Sunlight... Frowning, Camilla nods as he waved towards the tools. As she moved towards them, she quickly spotted a familiar blue furry friend! "Carlos!" she exclaims cheerfully as she quickly moves to stand next to the cat who was on his back playing with his tools.

"Heh, having fun?" she asks playfully as her tail gives a merry twirl before she scans the available tools. A hand rake, root ripper, and shovel. Deciding to grab all three items, she first grabs a blue pare of gardening gloves. Then with a tool in each hand, and one being held by her dexterous prehensile tail, she sits down next to her playful predatory friend and basks in the sunlight. Ahhh...

Hi Carlos, Hi!

 

[phantompanther13]

"Camilla!" It had been so long since he had seen his friend. His best friend, well maybe besides his sister. But it had been a while either way. In his excitement he rolled back to his paws forgetting to hold the gloves and dropping one on his face and the other between his ears. He paid the gloves no mind as his tail bunched up and he spring into a tackle hug.

His face glove flung over onto Camilla and his rake lay forgotten on the ground somewhere.

"A wonderful day to you!" he said rather loudly in her ear. "Fun, to enjoy, to wonder to lust, and nothing in the world can bust what a wonderful and fun day it is to you." He grinned poetically, as if what he said made perfect sense, which it did, perfect nonsense to his own ears. Carlos hoped it conveyed his enjoyment well enough. But just in case he made sure to rub Camilla's face with his own and greet her as one cat to another. Even is she was a mouse.

There had been a sign posted for free food, and Sacha was there.

Early.

Of course he'd gotten distracted, leaving to snag a snack from his dorm, but he actually made it back on time, already halfway through the trifle bowl in his arms and scraping the sides clean as he went.

The professor directed them to pick up some supplies, and it took no time at all for Sacha to decide that he wanted the thing that resembled a fork. And red gloves were an obvious choice, they hid blood better.

But acquiring said tools would require him to either set down his trifle (not happening, someone might take it) or his spoon (again, not happening, it would slow down his eating). That left using effort and actually using his shadow to gather tools for him, but it seemed like a waste of energy and concentration honestly, not when he could be focused on pumpkin sponge layered with a toasted marshmallow whipped cream and bloodberry compote.

"Hey, can someone grab one of those garden forks and some red gloves for me?"

The idea of extra credit was enticing, the free food was a bonus that Damien had no qualms with. It was a rarity to see a class so early in the day. Early enough to have the monster yawning at the meeting site, treking to the campus really did take its toll in this case. A lesson in botany and bit of a cleanup, seemed like a pumpkin piewalk. It was more shocking to see the instructor at this time more than anything else. It was before the monster got to Amity but he heard about the Vampire Botany Instructor yet never saw him till today. Maybe he should have taught stealth on top of how to prune your everyday screaming ferns.

It was a bright and warm day in October, coupled with manual labor, so the boil went with a sleeveless shirt and a more presentable pair of sweatpants. He was clearly borrowing attire from the boilfriend this day. Green gloves were in hand and a Hand rake was in the other, with his eager face on. "Just think of all the holes to be dug today."

he didnt say much after that, lost to the daydream of digging.  

[poke mattix]

Upon hearing someone request for tools, Sludge stared at the boil for a moment, then crouched down and stared at the tools instead. The boil wanted specific ones, though he didn't know which ones they were.

Eventually he managed to figure out the ones needed, the spiked thing and the brightly colored gloves, taking one of each and handing them to the boil holding some...sort of food he guessed (it didn't look very appetizing to Sludge though)

The tools he handed Sacha may have had bite marks on them.

The offered objects were the right ones, but with a bit...extra on them. Sacha stared at them for a minute, debating whether or not to take them, but it was a nice gesture. Sort of.

So perhaps it was time to actually do something. His ability let his shadow's arms reach out and take the items, and even his shadow looked like it was gripping them with the tips of it's fingers. "Thanks. You know, those are quite some fangs you've got." Sacha grinned, revealing his own teeth. "What sort of food do you eat? Are you strictly carnivorous or are you an 'anything goes' sort of guy?"

The trifle in his bowl was disappearing at an alarming rate, and he couldn't help but glance around for the promised food. There were some things you just didn't joke about.

Malik really had been more interested in working in the garden than any sort of food or extra credit. He'd never been able to do something like it back home, so now was as good a chance as any to learn how to do it all. He'd been reading more than anything else recently, so getting out and doing a field class was good for him he supposed. Half the students only seemed to be there for the free food, but he wasn't going to let that stop him. He was there to learn and maybe even get the extra credit. Depending on if he really needed it or not. If it applied to any sort of physical activities he would definitely need the credit now that he thought about it. The joys of being incredibly bad at every physical activity ever. He really was a disappointment. Shrugging at it, he grabbed a hand rake and a pair of green gloves and decided to settle towards the back of the group and await the teacher's directions.  

[poke mattix]

Sludge wasn't sure how to react to Sachas toothy smile, except to reveal his own set of fangs in a mimicry of the others smile. Was this some time of intimation, to show who was stronger? He didn't think so, from the little socializing he had experienced so far.

As to what food he eat? He wasn't sure what a carnivore was, but he knew meat was pretty good. "m....mmmmeeaat." The word was hissed out, then he looked at his own utensils, and started chewing on them again.

Trustfully he would eat a lot of things. Meat was his preference though.

ramenli

 

[ramenli]

Meat, well, he could understand that. Filets were a specialty of anyone with half a brain, and when he thought about it, brains were good as well. They required a bit more preparation but the end results could be stunning.

Sacha's mouth watered, and his next bite of trifle was exceptionally large, and disappeared alarmingly quickly. But the spoon itself he left stuck in his mouth as he shoved a hand into one of his bulging apron pockets.

After a minute of searching he withdrew his hand triumphantly and held out his find, a strip of jerky with perhaps a few spookie crumbs stuck to it from its time in his pocket.

"Here," he said, voice muffled slightly as he spoke around the spoon. "It's good, promise." Good deeds deserved rewards, and his family knew to pay well for services rendered. Plus, it really was good jerky, none of the snacks he had stashed away were subpar.
