Garry | Ib | hello he's a teacher

[whythistho]

[network]

Good morning, all of you! Or, at least, most of you. Hopefully I have some of you left!
Anyway; so as not to make those... er, gone have anything to make up when they... get back, we won't be doing anything of consequence for the next week! Or so. Something around there, possibly more, hopefully much less!
Today, I hope you don't mind bringing in a few blankets! I have quite a bit planned that I'm sure you all will like!

[action]

Before class - which is usually centered around painting and other forms of wet media - Garry can be found setting up his "big plans" for today; the tables and supplies now ring the room, and he's gotten as many pillows as he's been allowed to take all piled on the floor, with a projection screen hanging on one of the walls.
... Not only that, but one of the tables also seems to be lined with refreshments.

If you want to help a teacher out, feel free - he's still moving furniture and whatnot, after all!

Kirino had a little habit of getting to class far too early... even with the load he's carrying.

... In other words, all the spare blankets from his and Apollo's room are folded up nicely and stacked in his arms when he walks through the door. Someone might want to take one or two of those off his hands, particularly the thicker ones... with as big of a stack Kirino has there, he... probably can't see over the top of it...

[whythistho]

"Oh! Goodness, goodness - come here, dear, over here, let me take a few of those." Which is all said as he speeds across the room to take a few off the top! Quite a load for such a little guy!

He'll take them over to the pillow pile then, stacking them nicely in the center for when other students arrive. "That's quite a lot! I hope you have one left on your bed!"

[doingthemistything]

"I just took the spare ones--Apollo doesn't use blankets half the time anyway. I'm sure he wouldn't mind a few of them missing." If he were even there. Not that it particularly mattered.

"I see why you said to bring blankets." Don't mind Kirino, he's just going to swipe a macaron off the refreshment table.

[whythistho]

And of course he doesn't mind at all - that's what they're there for! Garry just smiles and nods at that, going around to straighten things the rest of the way. "Well, I most definitely appreciate it! I had considered buying one or two new ones for this, but, er..."

He pauses there, to nervously clear his throat.

"I seem to have spent the rest of my money on the refreshments and the movie. Do keep that a secret though, will you?"

[doingthemistything]

"I'll take it to my grave." He grinned a bit. He'd actually been tempted to get blankets out of Shindou and Toushirou's room and replace them later, but it was a bit much.

"And I don't think anyone would mind, anyway." He chuckled.

[whythistho]

That gets a little chuckle from the teacher, and he finally takes a small break, reclining in his chair. "Moving furniture around can really take a lot out of you..."

Oh - he sits up straight then, moving to dig the movie out of his bag. "I think I should ask; this is one of the new movies you kids have all been dying to see, right? I want to make sure this is something extra fun."

[doingthemistything]

"Tell me about it..." Hi, he had to move furniture around his house a lot.

Kirino looked at the case, expression lighting up a bit. "Yeah, it is! I haven't seen it myself, but I read some really good reviews for it." In the meantime, he just helps himself to another macaron.

[whythistho]

Don't eat all of them, Kirino! But Garry's expression lights up to match, and he sets it on the desk for now. "Good! I was nervous I may have gotten something you all wouldn't enjoy - but I know I can take your word for it, Kirino!"

[doingthemistything]

Hey, this is only his second one...!

"Honestly, I'm pretty sure nobody will complain. Especially since it gets us all out of doing classwork." And really, if they didn't like it, they could always just sleep. It was the perfect environment for it, after all. Lights dimmed, blankets and pillows...

[whythistho]

He isn't going to be surprised at all if a lot of them end up sleeping - he might end up doing so as well, in fact.

"Right! Besides... it was either this or study hall, hmm?" Which isn't something he'd want to subject on his students; they could be doing something fun to keep their morale up, after all!

[doingthemistything]

"Right." Ugh. Study hall. Something he'd been subjected to twice already today. "Movies are better by a long shot."

Kirino glanced over to the center of the room, tempted to get settled in, himself. He shifted his bag with his laptop, wondering where he could put it so that it was out of the way.

[whythistho]

Oh! Garry catches onto what Kirino needs fairly quickly, and takes a couple pillows and blankets over towards the outlet on the wall - setting up a little nest for his student with a smile.

"There. Would this work?"

[doingthemistything]

"Ah! Yes, that's perfect. Thanks." He walked over to set his bag down, making sure there was enough space so that he could keep refreshments nearby without much fear of spilling them. Might as well start setting up now, as opposed to when the movie was starting...

[espcards]

"Quite a bit"...? [Consider her interest piqued.]

[whythistho]

But of course! What's a day off without some fun planned, yes?

[espcards]

Do you need us to just bring in blankets, or would you like us to bring in other stuff as well?

[whythistho]

You can bring in anything you'd like, Shiki. Blankets are just the bare minimum!

I'd tell you what-for, but I want it to be a special surprise!

[espcards]

Well, all right...!

[Hopefully, he won't be too surprised if she comes in lugging beanbag chairs--]

[whythistho]

... On that note - is there anything you'd like me to provide? You've always been one of my more creative students; I wouldn't mind setting out some supplies for you!

[espcards]

I bought a pack of those blank scarves for dying a couple days ago, so maybe the dyes?

[Not that she's decided what she's even going to do with them...]

[whythistho]

The dyes?

[Hmm... It might create a bit of noise for the other students, but perhaps not if it's closer to his desk...]

... Alright! But only if you dye one for me, too. [♥]

[espcards]

Of course! I'd be happy to.

[whythistho]

Then I'll set out everything you need!

[espcards]

Great! Any specifications for that scarf, then?
