{ Pretty good, pretty good! It kinda reminds me of the old forum, even though the layouts are quite different. Maybe it's because there are mostly the same people? I dunno.
How've you been? Life treating you okay, I hope? :oo }

ᴘᴀʟᴀᴅɪɴ ✧ (Nope. Guess not. XD It was three when I logged off last night, though. ) (She's into anything that doesn't require her to write a 15 page essay. ) (I'm going to die. One paragraph in I was laughing so hard I couldn't type. XD ) (We need more puns in life. That reminds me, I never add my characters romantic preferences. Ah well. Doubt it will ever come up in Percival's case.) "Very convincing," said Percival, finally cracking. Cairo's look of panic had been very amusing. "Just try and get it done by the deadline. You have a lot of talent and I really do not like docking points for late work. I am sure that this art piece about 'art'," he chuckled. "Will be interesting." He reached down and picked up the pile of papers. He'd at least gotten the class room open this time. "I noticed you were looking for an open classroom. If you want, your welcome to come in and work on something while I grade these." He nodded his head down at the pile. It was from his 'Drawing I' Class. At least the rather...not artistically inclined student had mastered proper shading this time around.

Yeah, I prefer the layout of these forums over the old ones. They are more aesthetically pleasing in my option. XD I'm sick right now, but other than that life has been great. School is starting to wrap up and summer is within reach. I'm so excited! )

AuranskyEveline pinched the bridge of her noise. "Apart from the general stress of school? I've got some personal issues I need to work out. I get depressed sometimes, over little things, and once I get into a slump it's very hard to get out of." At least she seemed capable of explaining her feelings this time. She didn't know about feeling better though. "Uh, I just don't feel I can function in this school sometimes. I can talk to people, but I can't help feeling that I'm always saying the wrong thing." Like now, she thought. I don't feel I should talk about this and I'm just bugging you with my life.

{ Ah, gotcha. Well, our time zones can't be that far apart! I'm in UTC, myself.
Honestly, Grace is me lolol. Cairo is funny bc he's a hot mess tbh? Plus, Percival is tormenting him and making him rethink his procrastinating ways rip They're not necessary, as far as I know! Cairo is — well, obviously from his sweatshirt — bisexual. I do have a headcanon about him having a bunch of clothes from friends to basically declare it to the world. He says they're dumb && cheesy and 'why would i ever want everyone to know this?' but he still wears them lol. }
Cairo's slightly panicked expression immediately morphed into one of annoyance when he realized that Percival had been just messing with him. Jesus, you can't just play a bad student like that — you might almost make them want to change their terrible study and work habits! Dangerous territory there. Cairo openly scowled at his professor, burying his hands even deeper into his pockets as he slouched slightly. Typical moody and brooding body language from the blond. He grew irritated very easily, sure, but he also calmed down just as easily. Percival's next words were more friendly and Cairo's furrowed brow and frown lifted almost immediately. He wasn't complimented often, least of all from a professor, so the little comment actually did wonders for an already quite inflated but slightly damaged ego.
"Thanks, I'll try." Cairo said, the corners of his mouth twitching upwards into the tiniest of smiles. Despite Percival's advice, the male was still... really not feeling up to doing any of his work. It seemed that he never quite got into The Zone™ unless it was a couple hours after midnight, he had four other assignments to do, and it felt as if Red Bull had somehow made it's way into his bloodstream and was being pumped throughout his entire body. "Eh. But I can help you grade the baby's drawings." He cooed, placing extra emphasis on the baby part as he leaned over and tapped on the pile of papers Percival had. "I used to help my old art teacher grade her homework and stuff after school." Cairo added after a small pause, raising his eyebrows at Percival hopefully.
Please let me procrastinate further.

ᴘᴀʟᴀᴅɪɴ ✧ (PST for me. ) (I'm a little closer to Ell, but I like the subjects Grace takes more. Math...I believe I've explained this part already. XD ) (Percival is very anti-procrastination. Yet, I have a feeling he does procrastinate more than he very lets anyone guess.) (They aren't necessary as far as I know either. But I often times add them anyway, encase anyone is ever interested or if I think a relationship could be made between two characters. ) "Well," said Percival. "If you are going to be that unhappy about me not assigning you more work, I can always change that." He was referring to the expression on Cairo's face. But this time he added an, "And that is a joke, Cairo. I know you are already swamped." Though it's your own fault, he added inside his head, though it wasn't without a smile. Percival opened the door with one foot, then walked in. Once he'd set the papers on the desk he turned back, leaning against is and raised an eyebrow. "Now, I'll let you voice your opinions on them, but I honestly can't give everyone an F in this class. The higher-ups would start to wonder if I was doing my job." He pointed to the teacher's desk, "You can sit here. Maybe if you are put in the teacher's desk you can start to learn why my hair is slowly turning gray." It wasn't. It was still as sandy blond as ever.

mintedstar/fur((Sorry for spamming you like crazy LOL ))) ((I was getting lonely. <3)) Rowlin nodded slowly, "Stress and depression are not the greatest of combinations." He agreed softly. "But get stuck on a pet peeve, oh my dear I can relate on more levels then one. It starts to tear anyone apart from the inside." He nodded quickly at the thought. "But on the other end, socializing is a general way to alliviate it." He bit his lower lip, "I'm bad at socializing myself, I tend to stick to small group. And sometimes even then I find it awkward to communicate with others." He admitted his thoughts. "But ..." He paused, "Is there really ever a right way to anything? To think you are wrong, just because the rest of the group is doing a right, does that neccesarally mean it is a wrong?" He raised a brow. He was twisiting himself on his own words again, but if considered deeply, his point was somewhere in there. "If harm is not being down, then it doesn't mean it is wrong to begin with. Perhaps another way to consider the possibility, and therefore a chance to approach the same issue in a different way. Having the lack in confidence is a reason, but everyone percieves things differently. If those individuals just don't understand, move on until you find a group that does."

Auransky(Spam? ) (I'm here if your lonely. XD ) Eveline understood the first half of that, but afterwards it all went a little above her head. Her eyes glazed over as she tried to unravel Rowlin's words. She could sense the meaning behind it, but it was a little hard to connect meaning to the actual words. But she was a little happy that someone could relate to her, and was trying to give her advice. A slight twitched of a smile was on her lips. "Yeah, I can see where your coming from. But it's pretty hard to go against your personality and habits. Or tell the difference between the two. I have a hard time actually thinking people even see me." She shrugged her shoulders and hugged herself, like she was cold. She couldn't really meet Rowlin's eyes, but she might have been feeling a little better now. Maybe just a little.

mintedstar/fur((I tagged you on my last post several times. )) ((I was thinking of editing everyones post with your tag to get your attention LOL )) Rowlin was a nutjob when it came to socializing. He was so busy in his own world, that sometimes his meaning would be twisted through his words. Yet his profession kept him sane, and for that he was grateful. "It is hard to change oneself, but the fact that we have a will, is that which gives us the power to attempt. If you never try you never know." He coughed for a second, "Would you care for some tea in my office-or coffee for the matter? I was headed for Creperum to pick up a few things. If you'd like to continue discussing anything on your mind, I will gladly listen." He smiled graciously.

Auransky (I didn't notice. XD) (That would be an awesome April Fool's joke. XD I spread myself to thin between all those RPs and it took me a little time to catch up to your post. ^^') Eveline blinked a little, surprised by his generosity. "Uh, yeah, sure." She was a little embarrassed and felt like a little kid, having to be told things would be okay. "Tea sounds nice," she said anyway. Her hands played around a little with her shirt. "Thanks," she finally said. She looked down with a small frown on her face. She wasn't sure she wanted to talk anymore about her feelings. Maybe Rowlin would be willing to talk about something else.

mintedstar/furThere was a drop in the air, it was probably a bad move. Was it because he was a guy and she was women? Or was part of her issue having to do with a male? He glanced away for a second collecting his thoughts. "If it makes you feel most uncomfortable, we can go somewhere else, your preference." He offered. "My office visit, is not of much importance. It's more like an opportunity to stall for time, while I sit around and wait for emails to spam me about upcoming exams. Yet I give office hours and no one, and I mean no one comes visit. My rating has a positive pass rate, but my interaction levels by far students deem terrifying." He shrugged, distorting his once straight postrure. "And for the record, anything we discuss , I wont tell. Privacy is most important to everyone of us, and it must be upheld with trust." He assured. "And I apologize for um... not telling you I was a professor sooner." He coughed awkwardly, "That tends to drive a lot of people away, especially after a conversation sparks." He admitted with a sigh. Then snapped his fingers with his freehand. "But nonetheless, I appreciate this opportunity. It's different then sitting around and just watching others. It's much easier to talk to indviduals of different ages, rather then peers at my own age. They are all too stiff, and focused on things, that let's face it: well just don't matter to a progressing society." He fell down to a whisper, "But please don't go around telling the other's that i'm ratting them out. There are a few peers I admire having around, but the majority just too hard to communicate with." "So..." He stpped back and straightened himself up, "Still up for the office visit?" He raised a brow. She's probably going to turn and run away now...

Auransky(Once again, I love Rowlin. You have such in-depth characters. O.O Makes these posts really interesting to read.) Eveline paused for a second as Rowlin spoke, waiting for him to finish. She was a little confused and as he finished saying what he wanted she looked him right in the eye and said. "Um, I already knew you were a professor. I had one of your classes two semesters ago." She gave a little nervous smile. "So, yeah, an office visit still works." She had found him mildly intimidating when she had taken his class. She'd sat with her head down, never the one to raise her hand when a question was asked. He wouldn't remember her, and at the time that was how she liked it. "By the way," she added. "I doubt I'm anywhere near your age. I've always found better conversation partners with my seniors, if I end up finding a conversation partner at all," the last part was stated with a lot of pessimism. She wondered which side, if any, Percival Regimald, the Art Professor, was on. She'd known him for a long time and quite liked him. So, in the end, against Rowlin's expectations, she did not turn and run away.

"Oh my goodness! Thank you!" She smiled and hugged him tightly around his neck. She was excited to see her irraplacible ipod, it literally had thousands of songs with months worth of music. When was done hugging him she got down smiling brightly, not at all embarrassed. "Im Kyah by the way, Kyah Sovie." She said placing her ipod gently on the nightstand beside her phone. She then looked at her room and started to clean up her bed.
Sorry for barely being on yesterday had to finish a project and was at work all day.)

mintedstar/furRowlin's expression shifted from shy, to a complete baffle of embarrassment. He slightly glimpsed away at the thought, "Right... I'm guessing you did know. Probably." He coughed quickly a the end. "But...right anyways." He straightened up once again. "Office, tea now, right?" He raised a brow trying to pick up his own words. This was more difficult for him then it was for her. It also answered his own question as to whether she was a student or staff. Hearing the part of age, had him let out a sigh of defeat. "Sometimes I wonder if age should be redefined with mindset. I've met some grandparents of student's and my goodness, their mindsets are more alive then the student's themselves. But anyways, office, now lt's get going." He nodded, slowly walking, but glimpsing behind him to see if she was following. He surely had twisted his words, he twisted himself, and it was just one askward spotlight screaming professor of the year. вєвєVance smiled seeing her excitement, on the inside it made him feel acomplished: knowing he helped someone out. Then came the hug, a surprise out of nowhere which caught him off guard. But instead he let it happen, he enjoyed it feeling that a form of true acomplishment, and making someone's day much better. "I'm glad to have helped." He passed her the Ipod carefully. "Music is life, I know the struggles." He nodded. His smile continued illuminating, it was such a bright mood in the room, and this young lady before him was surely emitting the mood. "It's a pleasure to meet you Kyah, I'm Vance , Moir." He introduced himself politely. "It is truly a pleasure to make your acquaintance!" He excitedly stated. "A-Also!" He chuckled a bit, "Consider a tracking app, with password, so you can borrow someone else's device to find yours." He lightly suggested. "It may just save your life someday."

AuranskyEveline gave a surprised chuckle. Placing both hands in her pockets, she followed. "I don't pretend to know where your office is, so lead the way." She walking quietly behind him, looking down. She had to admit that she couldn't really stay gloomy around Rowling. He's conversations distracted her, so she couldn't focus on being down. "How long have you been teaching here?" she finally asked.

mintedstar/furHe led through the halls, glimsping behind him even less as she was following him. He smiled a bit, looking up forward and ahead. They were currently in the Umbra building so they would need to exit the building and go through the center courtyard to reach the Creperum. He wanted to chuckle a little at the comment, but he found himself looking away some more instead. The fact that all the offices were in the same building, was something he disliked because of the intimidation that alone emitted. He preferred just about every other university where offices were stacked based on departments, which were in between different classroom settings. But that was just his own opinions, something he would keep to himself. He snapped out of his thoughts at the question, when asked how long he was teaching, he raised a brow himself to think of it. The actual question itself overall was a foggy one. But he realized the question was referring to this school, "Probably about nine years, going into ten?" He tried to recall strongly. He had been teaching at various other locations in the past, but when an opportunity sprewed up here, he considered it, after obtaining his ten year at his previous location, off course. There was always a goal of ten year in mind, it not only locked you a job for life, but should the issue ever arise, he could slip into just about any campus with little to no competition. "Yes nine going into ten!" He restated. "It's been an interesting time here, and the students well-the students are interesting. The atmosphere is very different here."

Auransky(What type of music do you like, Shining? If any, that is...) Eveline nodded as he told her how long he had been working here. "I take it from your hesitation that you've been a teacher for a lot longer than ten years." She'd already guessed that, but was still interested. She wasn't sure if she was very good with small talk, so hoped she was keeping Rowlin's attention. She hoped he wasn't bored with her company. She wished that that didn't make her sound like an insecure child. Eveline's eyes followed lazily along the walls as they walked, not really registering what she was looking at. She had been in this school for a few semesters now, and before that she'd been more into hands-on learning. She'd traveled, sometimes with directions from her friend, Percival. Then he'd entered this school as an Art Professor and had suggested she start to learn about people for once. That was harder than learning about how old the Grand Canyon was. She had to learn dreaded social skills.
