Re: Modules #1/#5 - "MIXING & MINGLING" - Fall 2021
Checking her watch and trying not to grimace at how late she is, Brianna slips into the classroom. She knows Sin well enough now not to be too worried about how late she's running, but can't help feeling a little annoyed nonetheless. Sitting in green the hood of her Slytherin robes is the cause of h...

Re: Lesson 3 - Discover Some More Words
(Posted late because I was locked out of my account last month. Also in the version of this that I actually submitted on time by email and thus that was marked I made a mistake in how I wrote one word which I've corrected here to avoid confusion for future students :) ) 1. I was talking to Nai’a in ...

Re: Lesson 2 - Discover a Noun
Since the forest that Maya comes from is famous for its wild ponies I decided to try to learn the words for horse/pony from her. The wild ponies honestly look more like how I generally envision horses to look so I first shower Maya this picture: https://i.imgur.com/CSIaNFc.jpg When I asked what it w...

Re: Lesson 2 - Choose your own Snake
https://i.imgur.com/pQIjDRp.jpg This is Maya, or Nai’a . She is an adder, the only venomous snake native to my home country, the UK. She comes across as rather shy but in truth she is simply wary of possible danger and, I found, she is very talkative and intelligent once you get to know her. She co...

Re: Lesson 1 - Introduction
Hi everyone! I'm Brianna Caedmon, a second year Slytherin. I took this class because I rather like languages and felt that it would be appropriate since I'm a Slytherin (and maybe this way I can have a chat with Basl!). I'm particularly looking forward to learning some Parseltongue vocabulary ithis ...

Re: Bonus - MIRROR MINGLING - Fall 2020
Brianna smiles at Sindor's comment about her cats "You're more than welcome to come and find them any time. Well, thanks for the advice everyone, I'm glad it's fairly easy. I love looking at the world in this way too. I think I'll head over and make a start now.". She starts walking towards a table,...

Brianna smiled as February headed over to her. "Hi February! I actually tried not to bring them, because I was worried they would be a distraction, but it seems they decided for me that they'd rather be here. They are very cute, I find it really hard to avoid petting them when they are sleeping beca...

Re: Bonus - MIRROR MINGLING - Fall 2020
Brianna has decided to start with a little rest while she decides what to write in her final exam. She's been nervous in all of her other exams, despite second year exams not being all that important, so is glad for the repreive of Prof Sindor's relaxed attitude as she relaxes on one of the comforta...

Re: Module #4 - MINGLING - Fall 2020
Wobbling slightly, Brianna tentatively stands up on her skates and makes her way over to the ice. "I was diagnosed with dyspraxia when I was three or four years old, so my co-ordination and balance are generally absolutely terrible. Still, I really enjoy trying things which require those things anyw...

Re: Module #4 - MINGLING - Fall 2020
Brianna smiles as Sin greets her and reassures her that there is no need to worry about being late "Yes, it's really delicious! Toffee is one of my favourite flavours, though now I'm tempted to try the dark chocolate coconut too!". She takes a pair of ice skates and begins lacing them up. "I agree i...

Re: Module #4 - MINGLING - Fall 2020
Brianna ran towards the class, her Slytherin scarf wrapped around her to ward off the cold from the light snow that had started. Orion and Cleo were both running behind her, seemingly unbothered by the cold weather, and enjoying the chance to use up some of their energy. When she finally got to the ...

Re: Module #3 - MINGLING - Fall 2020
Brianna smiles as she watches Sin playing with Cleo and Orion and then picking them up. She knows they love attention and is happy her professor seems to be enjoying giving them some. She nods as she listens to what he says "Wow, that is a great quote!" she says. "I have to say I notice the same thi...

Re: Module #3 - MINGLING - Fall 2020
After listening to Prof. Aloyarc Brianna pauses to consider what he said. "That's a very interesting point you make," she says, leaning forwards a little in her seat "because as you say you would have thought that consciousness of the self would be a positive thing, but it has a lot of strangely neg...

Re: Module #3 - MINGLING - Fall 2020
Brianna walks into the classroom, followed by Cleo and Orion who have evidently decided they like it here. She catches the end of what seems to be a truly very interesting conversation, and decides to add her thoughts: "I also think it's very important to focus your energy on what you choose to let ...

Re: Module #2 - MINGLING - Fall 2020
Brianna chuckles as she continues her attempt at carving, and turns slightly towards Sin. "To be fair, I do think that carving a pumpkin is quite difficult compared to a lot of mediums. Which is a shame, because they do look so nice... and it is always lovely to be able to eat the seeds too. What ty...

Re: Module #2 - MINGLING - Fall 2020
Brianna concentrates on her pumpkin and very carefully begins to carve a circle around the top, copying Prof. Tarma. She turns to February as she does "Yes, I've seen some pictures of it. It's honestly terrifying! I can only imagine turnips must be harder to carve than pumpkins too, they tend to be ...

Re: Module #2 - MINGLING - Fall 2020
Brianna takes some utensils from February and settles down to start carving. Like last time, Orion has refused to get off of her shoulder and is once again joining her for the class. Another black cat with white socks and a white belly is sat in her hood. "This is Cleo, Orion's sister." she says to ...

Brianna, who has now finished her second doughnut, grins at February. "Thanks February, would you like to pet him?" Brianna shifts over slightly so Orion, who is still on her shoulder, is where February can reach him. "He loves attention!". Brianna pauses to take a mug of hot cider before continuing...

Re: Module #1 - "MINGLING" - Fall 2020
Brianna audibly sighs in relief as she hears Sindor's response. She has no idea how she would ever get Orion to leave her alone long enough for the class if he'd refused. She smiles and reaches out to tickle Orion's chin, who leans in to the attention and purrs. "Thank you! I named him Orion because...

Re: Module #1 - "MINGLING" - Fall 2020
Brianna rushes into the classroom, a fluffy black kitten sitting in the hood of her Slytherin robes, currently attempting to eat a lock of her dark hair. "Professor... uh, Sin, I'm so sorry I'm late. Orion, my kitten that is, he's only about 10 weeks and he just wouldn't leave me alone. Is it okay i...
