It's weird seeing you in person like this.

Colt's Bathroom
Minstrone blushes and looks away.
"Yeah..
He paws the ground.
"So...what should we do now? Go check out our classes?"
Which are hopefully filled with classes together for some strange unfathomable reason.:smalltongue:

Today, we are studying the intelligence of animals.

"Well, I'll find out when it happens." And so the class went on. Surprisingly, Night Jewel was relatively well-behaved both for herself and for this class.

Peewee always seemed to know if Purple was attending biology class that day or not. He always waited for her to arrive for the juice and nut trade. Purple even got him to toss the used bottle in the recycling after a week. They had somewhat of an understanding.

The amount of times you have been absent from this class Purple pepper is criminal. Anasi says simply. Do your homework for you they cannot. I suggest you do it yourrself unless you want your brain to rot. she says, sitting down at her desk in front of the HOLY!*@*#!@ WAY TOO BIG Anaconda's cage. As usual, her favorite snake, Lilith is draped around her. Lilith is an Albino anaconda, likely the daughter of the one in the cage. Anasi did actually like Purple Pepper, it was just that she got kind of irritated by her lack of responsibility. If Purple would actually attend Biology when she was supposed to, she'd probably be one of Anasi's favorite students.

Everypony, take a seat. Foxglove, in an hour, after my class we can meet.

Y-Yeah... That sounds good.

Colt's Room -> Biology
8:00 a.m.
Minstrone nods and walks to his first class, BIOLOGY.
He walks towards Anasi.
"I'm Minstrone, I just moved here."

Blue took a seat and looked up eagerly. "Are we gonna study dolphins? I've heard some good things about dolphin intelligence!"

Lilac sat as well and listened quietly, hoping this wouldn't end up being either a long, boring lecture or a complete disaster.

"Alright. The rest of you have fun..."

Foxglove trailed out. Her morning class was at 10, so she had little to do but trail around and find some ponies not doing much of anything.

Raven looked up from her book. "I wasn't told of any closing schedule changes that happened while I was in here either," she said flatly, "but perhaps they've begun implementing stealth policy-implementation."

---

"They're fixing the roof, apparently somepony decided to throw magic around in here." Whitefire said just as irritably. There were slight fractures in the ceiling, and workponies were gathering at the door. "Anyway, I need help with a Mythological Monsters assignment." Again, that dare to make fun of her over this.

Silvermane dashed through the hallway, trying to avoid the other ponies as much as possible. Normally she would be happy to be headed to Anasi's class, as it was her favorite (even if she did sometimes get distracted by the runabout critters), but today she was late for some unavoidable reason. She skidded to a halt in front of the classroom, then quietly crept through the door.

"Um, hello professor," she said demurely. "I'm sorry I'm late."

----

Heartflight crept through the door to Smoothie's magic class. Normally she was on time, but today something had gone wrong for the transgendered filly, causing her to be late. Not wanting to interrupt Smoothie, she quietly walked through the door and took a seat.

Catalogue enters the art classroom. She has to make sure everything is ready for art class today, even though it is not until later on in the day.

Silvermane, do not worry. It's not like anypony else was in a hurry. she says, slightly irritated that all of her students are....oh, what's the word. Aha! That's it.

Ah, I'm glad you're here Heartflight. Gregory, the narrator and I were worried it would take a while longer for you to show up.

I wasn't too worried.

Gregory, that's not very nice.

It's not like she can hear me.

I guess you do have a point. Do you have anything to say narrator, or can I get back to teaching my class?

No, you can get back to teaching your class.

Alright. Good. Now, does anypony else have a familiar they would like to demonstrate? And does anypony have a pie to drop on Soft Serve? she asks, referring to the cotton candy colored unicorn who had fallen asleep on her desk.

No, I have no dolphins here. I don't have any of the animals most ponies would consider cute, I fear. she says, and goes over to the giant cage containing the anaconda that's way bigger than it needs to be.

If she spoke up she would only suggest something that would cater to her talents and Fox Trot would just go along with it. Jeez she had only been here for a few weeks and already she knew how things worked here. Well if musicals are out and we don't want to do something boring by Shakespony, how about Antigone?

((Moofin's school did this play in high school. It was good.))

---

(That's awesome of your high school, but we are playing to the cliches and parent's raising a stink over it would be a cliche :smallbiggrin:)

"Hold on a minute Foxy," Quick Step cut in, apparently finished with her imagine bubble. Fox winced at her use of 'Foxy'. "Who cares if the parents raise a stink, or the school. Musical theatre is about pushing the boundaries, this could be used as a statement and plus, don't you think I would look sexy in some of those outfits?" She smirked putting a hoof on his chest. Fox brushed her hoof embarrassed by her open saucy-like affections.

"I uh...yea?...I mean......oh darn...Oh words! Why do you fail me now this time??" He put a hoof over his forehead and swooned to fall backwards, hoping that his hammyness would distract. Other members rolled their eyes while some just didn't care.

"And why would I help you when I have my own studies to attend to?" She failed to mention she had fallen asleep while working in her studies.

Minstrone nods and goes to his seat, tugging Snowflake with him so they can sit together!

Purple Pepper kicked her hooves jp and relaxes in her seat. Crunch Church. She chomped on the nuts. "Oh Teach. Teach. Are chickens intelligent? This one rooster always seems to know when the sun rises."

"Oh whatever, I'll help you even though we only have less than 30 minutes 'til next class," Gwynfillion said in an agitated manner and pushed her glasses up on her muzzle.

"Yeah, well - wait, really?" Whitefire blinked and caught herself. She composed herself and sat down opposite, dropping a heavy (and significantly out of date) copy of the Monsterous Manual on the table. "Right. Uh. Thanks. The question's about the most dangerous creatures in the world and how to avoid them."

"Well, one clearly needs to avoid me then," She grinned a little evilly, but it was so fast if ya winced ya missed it. Though she was just kidding, not that she would let Whietfire know she was. Perhaps a little bit of Soft's trolling trickled into her. Regardless she stepped outside.

"Any whom, yes, well let's take a look shall we?" She opened the big book that had caused a swirl of dust when it was dropped, but Gwynfillion had quickly summoned a small breeze to blow the dust away as to not have the dust bother her nostrils. Also, she acknowledged Raven's presence, but didn't care enough to verbally acknowledge her.

((I'd have posted this earlier and have it be more relevant, but the server decided to fail just in time to prevent it.))

Why does she keep talking to things that may or may not actually exist? After pondering this for a moment, Night Jewel looked over at the sleeping pony. "Well, I don't have a pie, but I could wake her up with someone equally lazy."

With that, she trotted up to Soft and dropped Dusty on her face, causing the fox to wake up in confusion.

---

"Oh. Okay. What animals do you have? And can't we study animals we don't have? I'm sure there's books on them! In fact, I have some pretty good books on-"

"Don't get carried away, Blue. Give her a chance to answer you." It took a moment for Lilac to realize what she'd just said. Ack! Anasi's weird speech pattern must be contagious.

"Okay, okay. No need to get snappish." Raven put down her book and stepped outside.

Whitefire very clearly did not associate a purple unicorn with the idea of danger in any way, shape or form.

The book was almost four hundred years out of date, with references to some monster types that hadn't been seen for even longer. A book like this was rare, and valuable, but it's applicability for modern study was arguable. Whitefire shuffled her wings uncomfortably.

[edited my post to include my acknowledgement of having her move outside since apparently the library's being closed]

Although it did pain her to leave those books on the table, unorganized and not filed away back in their shelves, alas.

Well, wherever they had ended up outside the library is where they were at the moment. Gwynfillion noticed the shuffling of wings from Whitefire, but frankly, did not give a fart to ask what was wrong.

"Oh my...this book is really...old, where did you get this?" She asked seeing the published date which was scripted by hoof.

Aria rolled her eyes on the inside but on the outside remained sweet and cheerful. She couldn't help but thinking this was the cheesiest thing she had ever seen. Even her oldest sister wasn't this cheesy and she acted in pony soap operas for Celestia's sake! She cleared her throat to get their attention. No Quick Step is definitely right. It's not like they can do anything about it anyway. She imagined herself as Roxie Hart only because she was the blooming star while Quick Step was the washed out Velma Kelly.

Fox Trot quickly composed himself as if though what he did never happened. Was he embarrassed by his own silliness? Not a chance. "Yes, I suppose, aside from shutting down other shows, there wouldn't be much they could do about it."

"Yes, see the frosh agrees with me, plus you can consider it a 'take that' to the school for its dumb decision to give us only three weeks. Which actually, I'm going to try to get them to at least give us another week, regardless of whatever stage production we end up doing," Quick Step said and pointed dramatically at nothing in particular.

"Right." Whitefire said, sitting down and paying attention. Even though the idea of books clearly bored her, to her credit she was doing her best to focus.
