Fandom High School

The usual tea and pastries were set out for the students as Jones typed out an email back to the Court on some matter.

"Our last class is coming soon. At this point you should be well into the writing process for your presentations," Jones said barely looking up from her computer monitor. "If you have anything to share I will be happy to review it with you. Otherwise you are welcome to return to your room to continue your work. At this point you should be more than done with your research. If you need any assistance, I am here to help."

After dealing with the fog this morning, Jones sent out a last minute note to her students cancelling class. On the door to her office she left another note instructing the students to stay in the dorms and avoid any dangerous activities.

Yes. Class was cancelled for the day. Why buck a trend?

It seemed to be a normal day at the office for Jones as the students settled in for another exciting class!

"Today I would like to review your bibliographies and your source material," Jones said as the students sat down. "We shall start with-"

Suddenly a monitor on Jones' wall came to life and Dr. Randy Disaster appeared.

"Spacemonauts! We have need of your skills and prowess! Report to the danger shop immediately!"

Jones barely raised an eyebrow. "Well I suppose your bibliographies can wait until next week. Please go to the danger shop and prepare yourself."

FOR A THRILLING ADVENTURE!

Class was back in Jones' office today. No field trips scheduled. No interruptions from Dr. Disaster.

Just muffins, coffee and tea on her desk.

"Today should be short. I wish to hear on your progress of your research project. If you have anything tangible to show I would also happy to review it with you."

Jones sent her students a reminder via email to join her at Portalocity for class today. She arrived early and waited in the cold weather without a jacket or coat other than the suit she was wearing.

"Today there is an event in my dimension involving some of my former students," she began. "As Cassandra's topic involves the study of magic, I thought it would be beneficial to her to see another type of magical environment. As the semester progresses we will be taking field trips that will involve Eleanor and Sparkle's topics."

"Before we enter the wood, I will caution you not to leave the clearing we are entering. There are dangers in the forest and I cannot protect you if you choose to wander away. Additionally I would be cautious around the beings known as Coyote and Ysengrin. One is a god and the other is losing whatever slight grip he has on his sanity."

And with those welcome words of happiness and light, Jones stepped through the portal expecting her students to follow her.

Jones office looked pretty much like it did the week before. There was Jones reading her email, muffins and coffee and the remnants of an eel zero gravity unit and air tank.

Clearly Jones thought it could use further study.

The door to Jones' office was open and she sat behind her desk waiting for her students to arrive. The office was currently filled with several boxes filled with books waiting to be unpacked however there was just enough room for Jones and her students to squeeze in.

When everyone had gathered, Jones greeted everyone politely though it seemed to lack any kind of emotion. She then launched directly into class discussion.

"The goal of this course is for you to pursue a course of study that interests you," she began. "At the end of the semester you will be doing a presentation in front of the student body on the topic of choice. How you present this information is up to you though I will warn you this is 100% of your grade. There will be other activities in class as we go along. Some will involve your topic of choice. Others will not."

She leaned back slightly in her chair causing it to groan loudly. She leveled a look at each of her students as though she was evaluating their every move.

"You will be expected to do research outside of class as well as within. Today we shall keep things simple: Tell me and the group what topics you would like to research and why."
