Supernatural Powers: Class Two, Spring Semester

[Kitty Callahan]

And they'd done it again! Just yanked her right off the bloody map, no warning whatsoever...oh, Professor Callahan was in a grim mood indeed, if her traffic-cone orange hair was anything to go by.

"Months," she muttered as she picked up the chalk to write the lesson's plans down, "I go for a few hours, come back in months...we really need to figure out a way to compensate for this time dilation effect because it is really annoying!" She half-shouted the last part...like anyone who could do anything about it or even cared could hear.

Halfway through the R in 'Powers', she pressed too hard and the chalk snapped off in her hand. Grumbling, she stooped to pick it up. The young professor held the two broken ends together, mumbled something, and there was a tiny flash of light. The chalk was whole again, and she looked a little bit more tired.

She finished writing the lesson's title and slumped into her desk's chair, picking up her mug of tea - easily identified as such because it was a large, plain white bowl-like mug bearing the legend 'Tea'. Callahan sipped at it sulkily. Maybe she wasn't cut out to be a professor after all.

Supernatural Powers, Lesson Two, the board read. Elementals.

[Susan Daunt]

Susan stuck her head in the door, expression cautiously optimistic at the prospect of a class she could learn about her powers where the teacher *hadn't* censured her about almost disemboweling a classmate even though he had totally had it coming. The absense had worried her, too, much as she liked Miss Callahan.

"May we come in yet?" she ventured politely, a smile fighting its way towards full dominance.

[Kitty Callahan]

When Susan poked her head in, Kitty brightened up immediately. "Chah! Come on in. Sorry I haven't been around, I've had...other...business." Wow, she couldn't have been shadier about that if she tried. Her hair was starting to change color from straight orange to orange with streaks of electric blue - which was a bit of a stunning color combination. It was possible she could blind someone with that hair. Still, it meant her foul mood was breaking.

[Susan Daunt]

The smile routed the forces of retincense and put the survivors to the sword as the Daunt scion bobbed into the classroom in her usual explosive ensemble of brightly-colored clothing, backpack over one shoulder. She was impressed by the shifting colors of her teacher's hair, smile widening apreciatively as she slid into a seat, "Ooooh. How do you do that? And what do elementals have to do with Super Powers and not setting your head on fire?"

[Damien Griffiths]

"Holy crap that's loud."Damien stopped dead at the sight of Callahan's hair, which had caught him off-guard.Only then he looked at the board, and his face went pale. Elementals. Of all things. He silently sat down in one of the chairs.

[Shihab]

Shihab bounded up the stairs and swung 'round the doorframe by one hand, grinning. This was all beginning to make sense, and now he had another class! Also, he'd figured out a way to cheat sleep deprivation, and though it'd probably catch up with him sooner or later, at the moment he was above the clouds.

"Hello there!" Glancing at the board, he raised an eyebrow, slipped into his desk, and took out his notebook without another word. Only when he had a sheet of paper and a pen before him did he look up again, with a bit more gravity-- not much, but a bit.

"Elementals-- would that be working with elementals, the study of the magics themselves, ie. life within the Elements of Power? Or are we talking about the beings that inhabit those spheres of Power? 'Cos I've heard 'Elementals' applied to mean both." He asked with the air of a curious student who'd done a bit of research, and wished he had a better handle on his suddenly pounding heartbeat.
