[this teenage vampire drama queen is looking so much better than the last time she posted on the network. she isn't so pale, and the circles beneath her eyes are minimal. she's sitting cross-legged in her
dojo, as she has so many times before, actually smiling. she's trying to look welcoming, okay. she's even
dressed like a normal teenager today. she's trying to lull all of you into a false sense of security. she clears her throat once, and then begins:]
To the students enrolled in my combat class at the Institute: I have decided that we will be going on a [short pause] field trip in two weeks' time. We will be going to the
Metropolitan Museum of Art on the thirtieth of November.
I know that it may seem odd for a hands-on class like combat to go to a rather hands-off place like a museum, but it is important that you learn about the history and culture of the weapons and styles you are using. Since it would be impossible for every student to see every exhibit, they will be required to choose one or two areas to study. What will be done with the information they gather will be explained in the classes preceding the trip.
This trip is not mandatory, but if you decide to opt out, I will have to create an... alternative assignment for you to complete. [for the love of god, don't opt out]
You are only required to bring money for lunch, as the trip will be for the entire school day. I will require at least one other teacher or parent to act as a chaperon. Please
contact me if you are interested.
[awkward pause]
Anyone who takes classes at my own dojo is also welcome to attend.
