IC Prospective: Pleakley

[easilyfascinated]

Character: Pleakley
Mun: Kabby
Plot specific: N

My landlord My niece My friend Nani sent me the most fascinating muggle education device! It's called a "view finder", and it shows you little picture of muggle things when you look through it! It's wonderful!

Except Nani didn't say it was an education device, she said it was a toy, but clearly she miswrote, as the "view finder" is highly educational! So far, I've learned that muggle toys actually have magical properties and come to life when muggles aren't around, that in muggle areas, deer and rabbits can be found ice-skating, and that muggle children enjoy dancing with bears!

All of my students are welcome to stop in my classroom during lunch hours this week to try the "view finder" and learn something new!

[jasmineofthewest]

Oh, well that sounds... lovely! Would you mind if I take a look at it one of these days?

[He is kind of questioning your sanity, but he is also happy to know there are other people who are as interested in Muggle things as he is.]

[easilyfascinated]

Oh, that would definitely be okay! Nani's going to try to find more disc... Slide... Things to send me, too, so I'll tell you if she does!

oh my god i'm going to love RPing with him SIMPLY FOR HIS ICONS so perfect, so hilarious

[jasmineofthewest]

Hmmm. The next time I'm out shopping, I think I could look as well, as I think I've seen those types of toys education devices.

I am afraid though, that perhaps you might... ah, be taking them too seriously?

XD THANK YOU!

[easilyfascinated]

Wonderful! Thank you so much!

Oh, no, I assure you, I am an expert on all thinks muggle-related! I worked for the Ministry!

[jasmineofthewest]

Oh, you worked for the Ministry. My apologies, then, that does indeed make you quite the expert. Do you live amongst Muggles, in a highly Muggle town, and refrain from using magic for months at a time during the summer?

Pardon my questions, I am just very curious!

KEYWORDS SO VERY RELEVANT

[easilyfascinated]

Well, I can let it go.

There aren't a lot of wizards in St. Agnes, and Nani doesn't really trust me to use magic around the house or anyth

Oh, do you do those things?

fffffff xD

[jasmineofthewest]

I do indeed! I have been for quite some time now, though the exact length is escaping me at the moment. You could almost say I double as a Muggle during the Summer, but that isn't entirely accurate. Sometimes I find I do need to use magic, but it isn't all that often, and for minor things.

X3

[easilyfascinated]

Wow, that sounds fascinating! I bet you've learned so much!

[jasmineofthewest]

I'd like to think so. But I'm sure I could never match your expertise, Professor. But maybe you'd like to pop by my classroom sometime and watch one of my classes? I'm sure you would find it enjoyable, and the students wouldn't mind.

I teach Home Economics, by the way. I'm not sure if you knew that. But if you worked for the Ministry, I'm sure they filled you in on all the details of who works here!

[easilyfascinated]

Oh, well, I don't know about that... But I'd love to visit your class sometime! Home Economics sounds like fun!

Haha, well... Up to a certain... Certain point. Before I was fired.

[jasmineofthewest]

Oh, it is very fun! I think the students really quite enjoy it. The tea and hot chocolate I serve them might have something to do with it, admittedly. But I'm sure they enjoy the lessons just as much!

Oh? Pardon my prying, but I couldn't help but notice a word jumbled up in that scribble. Were you... fired? Or am I misreading? That sometimes happens, I'm afraid.

[easilyfascinated]

Ooooh, hot chocolate!

Oh! Ah. Well. I, uh... There was a job that wasn't really... Covered in my training...

[jasmineofthewest]

Really? I always thought the Ministry was quite thorough in its job training!

[easilyfascinated]

They are, but there was no guide on what to do when you're stuck with a LUNATIC hunting down a WILD CHILD who's running around HEXING PEOPLE and you have to modify everyone's memory and it's a DISASTER.

[jasmineofthewest]

Oh, dear... That sounds awful! Why would they fire you for something like that?

[easilyfascinated]

It WAS!

But I...

Might have not done a wonderful job of finding the kid.

And.

Sort of caused some extra trouble.

[jasmineofthewest]

Oh my!

Well it's hardly your fault. They should have definitely included that during training.

[easilyfascinated]

But how were they supposed to know?

What I want to know is how that... That CRAZY-HEAD ended up in charge of a kid!

I WAS WAITING FOR CRAZY HEAD heeeeeehehehe

[jasmineofthewest]

The Ministry should be prepared for anything.

And that would certainly be a nice thing to know, but sometimes life just has an unanswered mystery! And this looks like one of them.

His username was almost no_crazyhead |D

[easilyfascinated]

That's true, actually!

...I guess.

[selfhatred]

...YOU'RE FUCKING KIDDING ME.

[easilyfascinated]

I am not, Mister Vantas, and you'll do better to use more appropriate language when speaking to a professor!

[selfhatred]

FUCK NO.
1: TOYS DON'T MAGICALLY 'COME TO FUCKING LIFE'. THAT'S FUCKING KID'S MOVIE MATERIAL.
2: I'M PRETTY SURE THAT RABBITS AND DEER DON'T ICE SKATE.
3: IF YOU TRIED TO DANCE WITH A BEAR THAT WASN'T TAMED, HE'D TRY TO FUCKING EAT YOU

[easilyfascinated]

I am an expert on muggles, Mr. Vantas, and I have been doing research!

[selfhatred]

AND I'M A FLIPPING MUGGLEBORN. I THINK WE KNOW WHO THE FUCKING EXPERT IS HERE.

[easilyfascinated]

...Ah.

Well, haha...

Perhaps I need to do a touch more research.

[selfhatred]

YOU THINK?
LOOK, MAYBE IF YOU ACTUALLY FUCKING ASKED INSTEAD OF GETTING EXCITED OVER A FUCKING SLIDE SHOW, MORE THAN HALF YOUR RESEARCH WOULDN'T BE FUCKING OBSOLETE.

[easilyfascinated]

Well...

Maybe.

[selfhatred]

MAYBE?
TRY DEFINITELY.

[easilyfascinated]

Well, fine, but you should definitely try to be more respectful!

[adorabull]

kARKAT!
uMMM, yOU SHOULDN'T TALK TO A, tEACHER LIKE THAT!!
yOU'RE GOING TO GET IN, sO MUCH TROUBLE!

[selfhatred]

DO YOU THINK I CARE, TAVROS?
DO YOU REALLY THINK I FUCKING CARE?

[adorabull]

yOU SHOULD,
wHAT IF YOU GET, eXPELLED,
oR DETENTION FOR EVER?

uH, oR LOSE, aLL OF YOUR HOUSE POINTS!

[selfhatred]

I'LL FUCKING TONE IT DOWN. HAPPY?

[adorabull]

uM, yES,
tHANK YOU!

i JUST DON'T, wANT YOU TO, uH, gET EXPELLED IS ALL,,,

She didn't read the other threads - this should be painful

[cuddlefishpeixes]

OH MY GOSH! Really? That's SO COOL! Can I take a look at this viewfinder sometime, professor?

I didn't know muggle items could do those things! I guess there's a lot more magic in the world than I thought! 38D

Oh God. |D

[easilyfascinated]

Oh, you're more than welcome to come give it a look, Miss Peixes!






Although apparently some of my research with the "view finder" was... Misinformed.

Speaking of characters who create feedback loops of excitement

[cuddlefishpeixes]

Oh.
Well, that's okay too! It's just as important to learn about muggle culture as it is about muggle artifacts! 38)

Is there still space in your class, Professor?

Oh yes. :3

[easilyfascinated]

Hey, you're right!

There sure is!

THAT ICON ilu

[cuddlefishpeixes]

AWESOME!
I'll DEFINITELY sign up for that!

You're not going to have a rivalry with Professor Iroh, since you both teach muggle studies-type classes, are you? 38/
