Explosive Latin Lesson: Detanaclension with Madame Bariconder

Please stop looking so stunned, class, Mr. Cullikin here has just provided a very useful demonstration of what happens when one takes the classics lightly.  Someone please look around for the rest of his fingers, yes, thank you, we’ll stitch those back on as soon as possible.  Now, if the rest of you will open your books carefully to page five and insert your earplugs, we can get to work.

As a nice and cooperative student, I study calmly in Madame Bariconder’s class.

I slowly and calmly study.

I deposit a shiny apple on Madame Bariconder’s desk along with a neat, voluminous stack of homework, before proceeding to thoroughly and comprehensively brown-nose my way through the rest of the lesson.

Klisz:

Er, you can’t brown nose without a grade of A+.

Josh: he/they

Oh, oops.

In that case, calm study for me.

I shamble into the classroom and take my seat, DISRUPTING the class with the unpleasant scent of my decaying corpse while staring blankly and being unresponsive during the whole class.

Adopting both proper eye and ear protection, I ready my foot long prodding stick and commence with some intense study.

Ah, and some points for clarification:

The “Class” rule says we’re supposed to be in Beginner’s Alchemy on Mondays. This is a lesson in explosive Latin. This is perhaps an interaction we should maybe address?

Also, I believe that the way disrupt currently works, everyone who posted before Thane get decremented, but people who post after Thane do not. The letter of the rule seems pretty clear on that, but I thought I’d double check before fussing with the GNDT.

Greytyphoon:

Nope. Thane may decrement us, he doesn’t have to.
And you are right, he only decrements those who posted before he did.

Time to carefully study

Bucky:

I will study carefully (perhaps while slipping a currently unowned finger into my pocket)

Roujo: he/him

Erm… Studying carefully!
