"Io̧kwe, Daenerys Targaryen." Kakyuu smiled. "I...I am plessed to meet you."

[Hello, everyone. There's a lady on the network looking a tiny bit reticent. She speaks.]

Io̧kwe. Eta...Eta in Kakyuu Lerooj Utṃaan. Kwo jela ke kajin Kinmo? Ijaje...

[She stops. She speaks in English, albeit haltingly.]

Hello and fuck you. I am Kakyuu. I talk to this and others hear. Is... this true?

[...Don't mind the "fuck you", everyone. She thinks it's a greeting. New Yorkers.]

This is going to end so well

Come to think of it, recently a lot of his students have been showing up to class injured. Whenever he asked how they got hurt, usually he got the same answer: the combat teacher. Now, being an ex-major, Armstrong knew a thing or two about combat. Injuries were prone to happen, sure, but that didn't mean people, especially students, should be pushed to the point of severe injury. That said...Armstrong held this school in high regard. As such, if they did not fault with this Miss...Shego's methods, then he would just keep his trap shut and put up with it...for now at least.

Alex, surprisingly enough, did not notice her sit down. It's not until she leans over the table and grabs his book that he is finally aware of her presence. Despite this, he doesn't yell or make any attempt to stop her, mostly because he figures she'll put it down eventually (hopefully with nothing new written in it).

...the meathead quip does hurt a bit, not that he'll show it. "Not much at the moment, I'm afraid. I have a class in a half hour, without a break until two hours later, so I figured it would be a wise decision to eat lunch now." okay, so far so good. He can totally be polite to her, no problem. "And my name is Armstrong. Alex Louis Armstrong."

-... Okay, that bombed terribly.-

[princesstenko]

Still, it's a core curriculum. You need to pass it. So let's work together to make this more fun for you, okay?

I bet we could make a game of it.

[everyone_wants_to_be_a]

[But she doesn't want to make a game out of it. Or have anything to do with math.]

I don't need to pass it. I don't need to be here. If doing math is what I NEED to do, then I'm just not gonna bother.

[Varon would laugh if it didn't seem all that uncommon for foreigners to pick up on the swear words first. He rolled his eyes at the idea since he's had to flip off a driver or two on the way here. His own Australian accent is pretty evident.]

Nice bunch, yeah? If I didn't know any better, I'd say that euphemisms would be the language of choice in the States.

[If he wasn't slightly amused and a bit selfish, he might have helped her out a bit.]

Kidnapped?!

[phantasmalsound]

[Oh, he's taking this really seriously. She almost feels bad about her intent to take advantage of that.]

[Not quite, though.]

Okay~. I guess I can at least try...

[phantasmalsound]

Because school is all about making us do boring, useless assignments in our free time~. Duh.

[diaoyezong]

After she visibly was startled a bit by the sudden change from flat ground to the pool once more, Chen approached Ran with a smile in return.

"Oh! That was really good! I would not have noticed the difference. It really looked like it was gone. But why practice here?"

[osmanthian]

Ah...?

[Head tilt.]

You....fa...meisam?

[onlyhisdreams]

[Just looking so pained.]

Never have I received this much gelt before in my life, and it's not even Hanukkah yet.

[princesstenko]

If you don't need to be here, then by all means, you are welcome to leave at any time you wish, Katt-san. But should you choose to be here, you are required to attend classes. And to pass them.

[princesstenko]

"Well, why not? Anywhere is a good place to better oneself, Chen." May as well turn this into Life Lessons with Ran-sama. "We are not limited to classrooms in our learning and our growth."

Of course it will. She's a sweetheart. They're going to be BFFs

[somethingsarcastic]

First things first, this is probably the only time in her entire life that Shego has ever held a grade book. Which is impressive, considering she's actually credentialed in this whole teaching thing. The higher ups usually end up receiving student evaluations through text, or written on the back of cocktail napkins in liquid eyeliner. Because she's a professional. Man, could this guy be anymore flowery? She's not even going to be surprised if she finds literal gold stars in this book of his.

"Whatever, spitcurl." With that little disrespectful remark, she moves herself further onto the table. There we go. Now she can sit with her legs crossed on top of the cafeteria table. She's a shining example to kids everywhere.

"I give you another month before you start living off poptarts and Jello shots."

[last_to_kneel]

[Nope, he's not about to teach English. He scoffs and shakes his head.]

Get a dictionary and figure it out.

There isn't a single doubt in my mind about that.

[amajorham]

Well, it's good to know that she wouldn't be surprised about the gold stars, because they are in there. Because Armstrong radiates passion with everything he does, even boring things like grading. Plus, what's more passionate than GOLD STARS?! ...well, besides pink stars.

Ouch, another insult. It seems this is going to be a trend with this woman. As such, he better get used to it now, otherwise it's going to get under his skin eventually...

"Well, I AM fond of the strawberry ones..." he brings a finger to his chin, stroking it as if he was thinking. "I think I will pass on these Jello shots of yours, however. If anything, it will probably be protein shakes."

[amajorham]

Yes, I am glad to hear it!

[Alex flexes his arm, giving the girl a thumb's up (he heard it's cool in this day and age) and a dashing smile.]

If you put your mind to it, I am sure you will excel!

[everyone_wants_to_be_a]

[It is true, the idea of returning home is a rather difficult one for her to swallow... and it's not like she knows anywhere else that could support her lifestyle.]

But whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

[plantasmagoria]

I do not mind having to learn. I just do not like having to talk with others.

[phantasmalsound]

I didn't say anything about learning. I said something about homework.

You'd better get used to it, though. You know we have to do group projects sometimes, right?

[phantasmalsound]

[She just kind of...stares at him.]

Don't you get tired, acting like that all the time?

[She gets worn out just watching him.]

[princesstenko]

Mathematics is required in a number of career paths, as well as daily life matters such as budget balancing and the like. It's a life skill, Katt-san.

[princesstenko]

Ara ara, where did you learn such a word?!
