SEX ED V; SENIORS - [ OPEN ]
(( Oho. Jack might not be teaching his class right now, but all NSFW warnings still apply to Sex Ed class posts. Even with the sexually repressed leading the blind, etc. :3 Non-students are, as always, welcome. Everyone come gawk at the froofy nineteenth century bloke attempting to teach about sex! :D ))
There is life in Captain Jack Harkness' Sexual Education classroom, but it is not the good Captain. It is, rather oddly, a tall gentleman - almost awkwardly comprised of knees and elbows - not entirely out of place at the Prince Estate (or Jack's classroom, for that matter) in early nineteenth century inspired attire, a waistcoat over a ruffled white shirt with his long, curly hair pulled back neatly. He is, as a matter of fact, the very good former Commander, though his civilian attire suggests nothing of his late rank in His Majesty's Royal Navy. He spends the better part of the morning quietly and efficiently taking care of business in Captain Harkness' classroom - business which includes making coffee, grading papers, organizing backlogged post from Jack's mailbox, and reviewing the Captain's notes for his next planned lecture - before the scheduled Sexual Education class that afternoon.
When the students (who do not, for the record, file into the room quite as orderly as he'd hoped) enter and take their seats, they are confronted with the exact polar opposite of their typical instructor. The neat and rather flourished writing on the dry erase board (which he had spent a good twenty minutes figuring out earlier that morning) announces him as Mr. Hornblower, substitute teacher, and the lesson for that day as, straight from Captain Harkness' notes, Every Question You Should Ask Before Having Sex With Any Lifeform in the Nexus.
"Good afternoon," the tall, gangly man greets, as stiffly as humanly possible, at the onset of class. "As you can no doubt read, I am Mr. Hornblower and I will be substitute teaching for Captain Harkness while he is away. Please hold all questions not pertaining to today's immediate lesson until an appropriate time after class and direct your full, undivided attention for'ard - " He pronounces this word as a man would aboard ship, not that he suspects any of the children in the class will note that.
With Captain Harkness' attendance book, Hornblower calls the roll - noting each student's name (which he puts with their face and seating arrangement for his own benefit) as he marks them either in attendance or absent - and stands afterwards with lesson notes open on the desk to begin the...lecture. "I do believe it is Captain Harkness' style of lecture to open the floor to class discussion at this time," he notes, tone still as stiff as humanly possible, his posture rigid as he begins to pace the front of the classroom between the Captain's desk and the dry erase board. "For today, we shall begin there."
He uncaps a black marker and underlines the discussion topic written on the board, looking momentarily dissatisfied. "What are some questions one should ask prior to having sex with any lifeform in the Nexus?" This question seems almost practised with the perfunctory way he says it, as if he's given much thought and consideration to saying these practically foreign words ('sex with any lifeform in the Nexus') and decided, almost nonsensically, that he's going to kill Jack bloody Harkness.
