Faculty Meeting - Monday Before Classes

There was food. There was coffee. Heck, there was even tea for those who couldn't handle the good stuff. There were also chairs littered throughout the room, a portable whiteboard with different-colored markers off to one side and Biff, of course, keeping guard.

Hades is here even though he got shot last night (he's fine, thanks for asking). Why aren't you?

[OOC: Faculty only, but come on down!]

Hades stood up. "So, uh, thanks for coming along. You're a great crowd. Nice hair. I'm Hades, the new Vice Principal. Or the old Vice Principal if anyone wants to get picky about ages, but I'll bet you won't, right buddy?" He jibed at Ares. "Uh, anyway. This is worse than a support group. The leader of the sideburn brigade here has detention next week. You can sign up through the office." Hades twiddled thumbs. "Yeah, I got nothin'. Someone wanna organize a pot luck or a casino night or something?"

Emma got up so everyone could ~~get a good look at her boobs~~ see her. "I would like to invite everyone to a cocktail party at my place ~~Ares who?~~ on Friday. I'm sure that after a week of teaching, we'll all want to get sauced." She smiled. "I hope as many of you as possible can make it."

Don't ask... Don't ask... Don't-- "Who'll be cooking?"

Emma frowned at Rose. "I was going to have it catered, of course." She might be Home Ec teacher, but there were limits.

Rose visibly cheered at that. "Brilliant, I'd love to come!"

Emma beamed.

"Where d'you live?" Rose asked, realizing she didn't know where the party would be.

Hades shrugged. "That's a good start."

"Would you care for entertainment at said party?" El asked.

"If anyone has a colleague they can recommend for the Counselor's position, I'd suggest that now is the time." Susan sighed. "This is my last week. I'll miss you all very much. And I'd like to wish good luck to the new people this semester. You're going to have a ~~terrifying~~ very interesting time of it."

Rose heard Susan's announcement. "When are you leaving?" She asked, before adding, "I'm Rose by the way."

"I have the opportunity to return my home," Susan said, unable to suppress a smile. "It wasn't possible before. I've loved the year I spent here on the Island, but I can't let this pass me by. I'm just sorry to be leaving when all the new people are coming on board."

"Good for you!" Rose said, it's really hard not to connect that with her own experience. "I know how it feels when you're unable to go back to your home."

"You're not able to return to yours?" Susan asked, her own good fortune making her wince. "I'm sorry if that's the case."

"It's rather impossible, world would literally end if I even attempt to," Rose said, but now she's starting to wonder... "But I've made my peace with it."

"I thought I had, but-- after a year here, I found I was better prepared to go home." Susan gave Rose a serious look. "I hope you get the chance someday. But if you don't, Fandom is a wonderful place to be."

"Yeah, this place is wonderful, people're so accomodating!" Rose said, "I'm still hoping too, but I try not to think about it too much."

"I can understand that. What are you going to be teaching here?"

"Pop culture," Rose said, smiling.

"Always important, with the number of displaced students we have," Susan said. "Is it going well so far?"

"It's been brilliant!" Rose said, beaming, "I've never taught before and was a bundle of nerves the day I started but it went better 'an I expected!"

"I'm so glad." It seemed fitting that someone else should be coming in with so much enthusiasm, as she was leaving. The Island would go on fine without her. But she'd take what she accomplished here with her when she left. "You'll find that the positives here outweight the negatives. The students are a huge part of that."

"Everyone's been lovely really, both students and teachers." Rose replied, smiling. "Made everything easy settling in."
