Xavier's is working this year with a local elementary school, taking groups of children out trick-or-treating. It's optional, not mandatory, but if you're interested then you'll be paired with one other person and escorting a group of five kids from 5 to 7 on Halloween, around a designated neighborhood area. Let me know if you're interested.

My turn to ask you all a question. And would you look at that, it's not a pleasant one. How unexpected. I sincerely hope that none of you end up triggering into self-injury. Mr. Booth is always available to talk.
134. Would it disturb you much if, upon your death, your body were simply thrown into the woods and left to rot? Why?
No, it wouldn't bother me. I don't really care about it now, and I doubt I'd care once I was dead.

I've been told that I should inform you all about my exhibit that's being premiered this Friday. It will be at the MoMA, at 7:30. Professors Summers or Monroe might have more specifics for you as far as what they expect you to wear and how to behave as members of this school, you'll have to talk to them about that. As far as I'm concerned though, any disruptive behaviors and/or attitudes will not be tolerated, and you'll be kicked out immediately.
The pieces being shown will be potentially intense and thematically disturbing, and will be dealing with the recent jaunt to hell. If you don't think you can handle that, then please stay at home.
Any questions can be directed to Adrien.
((ooc note! luce, cherry, and king will be gone every day for the rest of the week, for most of the day (and night!), to the off-campus location where the pieces are being finished. no, they cant talk about it. SO MYSTERIOUS.))

Let me tell you something about The Questions. We were best friends in middle school. I know, right? It's so embarrassing. I don't even...whatever. So then in 8th grade, I started going out with my first boyfriend Kyle who was totally gorgeous but then he moved to Indiana, and they were like, weirdly jealous of him. Like, if I would blow them off to hang out with Kyle, they'd be like, "why didn’t you call us back?" and I’d be like, "why are you so obsessed with me?" So then, for my birthday party, which was an all-girls pool party, I was like, "Look, I can't invite you, because I think you're lesbians." I mean I couldn’t have lesbians at my party. There were gonna be girls there in their bathing suits. I mean, right? They were LESBIANS. So then their moms called my mom and started yelling at her, it was so retarded. And then they dropped out of school because no one would talk to them, and when they came back in the fall for high school, all of their hair was cut off and they were totally weird, and now I guess they're on crack.

I'm looking for an assistant for my upcoming series of works. A background in art would be helpful, but isn't required. It will involve manual labor at some points, and dealing with people at others. There's no money involved, but your names will be included in the details at the showings, and it's something you can put on resumes and college applications. Let me know in a privated comment if you're interested. I'll get back to you by the end of the week with my choice.

As the other teachers are all on holiday...
If people bickering bothers you, then ignore it.
If you feel like bickering with someone, and they want to bicker back, then go someplace private where other people won't/don't have to hear.
If someone is bickering with you and you don't want them to, then tell a teacher.
If you feel like bickering with someone or just bitching for no reason, and the other person doesn't want you to, then come and find me. I'm in my room, it's not that difficult.
Is that easy enough for everyone? I ask because I'd originally assumed it didn't need to be said at all, and was apparently wrong. No, no one really knows how to counsel you through having gone and visited Lucifer in Hell, but the basic rules are still going to stand. Now, who here is unclear on how to follow those rules, or why they are in place?
If anyone needs a big distraction or to get out of the house for awhile, I need someone to go to the junkyard again, for the same kinds of things as last time.

Apparently these things need to be said. Who knew.
1) The art studio is not a playroom. I've been told there's a delightful rec room for you in some other area, so go there if you're wanting to do whatever it is that results otherwise in things being knocked over and suspicious items being left around.
2) The art studio is not a cafeteria. You can have water, in a bottle, inside. You can sit outside the door if you want to eat and not get too far away from your work. I don't care how many of you are under the impression that you can eat things without getting crumbs/grease/chocolate/other more mysterious substances on your surroundings. You're wrong.
3) The art studio is not a smoking alcove. There are flammable materials within there, and the building undergoes enough reconstruction already without your added help.
4) Do not waste supplies. It is immaterial how fun you think a paintball fight sans guns would be. This school has more money than Jesus, but I assure you that if I think you're wasting things then I will use the art department fund on things none of you are allowed to touch, and will purchase a Crayola Watercolors set for everyone else to share.
5) This list of rules will be posted in both the studio and the classroom. Things may be added to it at any given moment by me, and I will expect you to be up to date on it without my telling you.
If you feel like fighting me on any of these rules, don't waste your time. I'm the teacher, which means I will win. If you really feel like discussing them, feel free to stop by during my office hours. You will have precisely 75 seconds before I start ignoring you.
Finally, if there's anyone looking to earn some extra credit, I'll need people unafraid of manual labor for roughly two hours on Saturday morning to assist in pillaging a local junkyard.

My name's Kevin Ford. I'll be the new art instructor here. Anyone under 21 and/or in one of my classes may not refer to me as 'Kevin'. It's Professor or Mr. Ford. Starting this summer I'll be offering Beginner and Intermediate art courses. I doubt any of you are qualified for higher than that yet, but if you really feel that you are, then come and see me.
My mutation works via skin-to-skin contact, so don't get close to me. If I tell you to move away, I'm being serious.
