It's summer time and there are no classes which means it's the PERFECT time to study another culture! [But to be honest for Milo anytime is a good time for studying another culture.]I'm putting together a group to study tribal cultures that worship sun gods. We're going to make costumes, learn ancient songs, stories and dances, build solar models, ( Read more... )

[There's a bit of a static fuzz, then some feedback noise, and then the sound of a cat meowing before the camera finally settles on Milo's nervous face.]

H-Hi everyone! Milo Thatch here. Some of you might remember me and uh... some of you might be new. Or never met me or-- er, nevermind.

[He shook it off, and smiled brightly when he thought of ( Read more... )

[He signed his name at the front desk roster and took a deep breath as he shifted the strap of his bag on his shoulder. He had sent a letter to the Headmaster announcing his return, but he couldn't put pen-to-paper when it came to letting his friends know. Specifically? Letting her know.]Some things have to be done face-to-face, Milo. It's okay. ( Read more... )

[Milo, having returned from all holiday parties since the new year, is waiting VERY anxiously at the island's post office. or wherever they receive packages on the magic floating Academy island. Thatch had made absolutely sure to buy presents in advance from a favorite bookseller back in Paris, but ( Read more... )

[Milo's in the Joe West kitchen today! His cheeks are a bit flushed from being out in the snow, but he's grinning from ear to ear nonetheless.]

I'm making a pot of hot cocoa! If anyone wants some, I'm in Joe West. There's enough for everybody.

[He waves the pot around. Either Milo's in an excellent mood today or this cocoa is sweet marshmallow- ( Read more... )

[The background of this video is moving, but the subject is not. Milo appears to be walking, and indeed he is--he's sending this message as he strolls through the quad. The faint static of students' banter can be seen behind the man as he continues to move forward.This is directed towards the students in my Latin, History, and Geography courses, ( Read more... )

[Milo and Crackers Mei Yin Fluffy are curled up in an armchair in the Joe West common room, in the middle of what appears to be a very riveting conversation.]

--an't touch the comm, give me that. Here! Fluffy! [a rustling; Milo's won his comm back from the cat and shoved it into a front pocket] And I'm a teacher, Fluffy, it would be--it'd be very ( Read more... )

(ooc: w-we're just gonna handwave the first few of Milo's lessons okay ;; )

Although classes have been canceled, I still expect everyone in History, Geography, and Latin to do their best to study on their own, okay? I hope you all still have that handout I gave you on the first day--just make sure to read the required things and we'll, uh, figure ( Read more... )

[Milo is hanging out in the library! Instead of locking himself in his room to research this time, he's opting for a more public venue. It's not helping him make any progress, sadly. He is, however, sitting at a table and poring over every related book, leaflet, magazine, and scrap of paper he can find. The entire surface of the table--literally ( Read more... )

As I'm sure you all know, Miss Sinclair's stepped down from teaching the geography class. I had a talk with the Headmaster, and, well--I'm going to be taking over for her once classes begin! I, uh, I haven't really gotten to setting up too much of the lesson plans yet since all of this kind of just happened today but I assure you all that I'm ( Read more... )
