American History, Period 2, 01/08

Jan 07, 2009 21:29

When students entered the classroom today, they would find not one, but two men standing at the front. One of them was probably familiar to some of them, the other one was a new face... Although his wardrobe probably needed a little updating.

( And The Rest Is History! )

They don't bite. Really.

There are better ways to make students suffer, after all. ♥

"I didn't do anything," Ino announced, wandering over to Tyler-sensei. As ordered.

Re: Talk To The Teachers tyler_back January 8 2009, 13:14:10 UTC

"Did someone say you did?" Tyler said, exaggerating his confusion.

Re: Talk To The Teachers flowering_mind January 8 2009, 14:09:40 UTC

"I'm just getting that out there," she informed him. "In case you thought you had something you could pin on me, Tyler-sensei."

"Things have been surprisingly normal since the new year, don't worry," Tyler said, though for effect he gave her a wary look. "I wanted to ask if you wanted to stay T.A."

Re: Talk To The Teachers flowering_mind January 8 2009, 14:24:39 UTC

She pretended to cringe back from the wary look. She considered the offer.

"I'd like to," she said, "if you don't mind the fact that American History and I have a, uh, very passing acquaintance."

Very, very passing.

Tyler shrugged. "My co-teacher only found out about anything after 1876 on Monday, and I really only knew military history," he pointed out. "You can read, right? Read and learn?"

Re: Talk To The Teachers flowering_mind January 8 2009, 14:42:02 UTC

"I can read," she agreed, "and, yeah, I can learn. Guess you've got yourself an assistant then, Tyler-sensei."

...and Ino had a feeling she'd just volunteered herself for a lot of extra reading material. Ah well.

"And you won't even have to make things out of paper maché this time," Tyler promised. "Thanks, Ino. There's a handwavey and moddable book on my desk that might help as a primer, and ask us if anything doesn't make sense."

[OOC: I love that the teachers + TA for this class are 2/3 non-American.]

Re: Talk To The Teachers flowering_mind January 8 2009, 14:54:50 UTC

"Or glitter posters?" she asked, grinning. "Though I think you ought to do soap. It's very traditional. You could do 'When Americans Discovered Soap', or something, if you really wanted it to be historical." Innocent, really.

A beat.

"And I'll read the book, promise," Ino added, more seriously. "And come bug you guys lots."

[Hahahaha. It's funny how it works out that way!]

Re: Talk To The Teachers tyler_back January 8 2009, 15:03:44 UTC

"Captain Algren didn't think that was a good use of class time," Tyler said, and he almost sounded sad about that. He liked his rituals. "Sounds good. Come bug me anytime."

He considered that offer. "That I'm in my office."

Re: Talk To The Teachers flowering_mind January 8 2009, 15:27:16 UTC

She laughed. "You mean you don't want visits at two in the morning 'cause I've got a question 'bout some even in history? I'll remember that."

Re: Talk To The Teachers tyler_back January 8 2009, 15:53:17 UTC

"I live with an ex-cop," Tyler pointed out. "I'm usually up at 2, but I think she needs her beauty rest. And she's a good shot."

Re: Talk To The Teachers flowering_mind January 8 2009, 16:00:47 UTC

"I didn't know that," she said, "that you lived with an ex-cop, I mean. And though I'm not bad at dodging... I see your point. No bothering 'less it's truly a very important emergency."
