Zoology Take 2 Part 1
Who: Leon and probably you. Open to teacher visits, too!
What: Creature Functions and Ability Analysis for the wayward journeys of Adventurers Zoology introductory thingy
Where: Same old room 464
When: Friday afternoon (He picked a time when he was sure Blacky would be awake)
Warnings: a lack of cutting shit up this week. Sorry, guys. :|
((This is my first class log in 15 months im kinda scared ok bye))
[If you were a student of his previous class, the room looks as it always did. If not, well welcome to Leon's laboratory. Deep down at the back end of the science hall, you are walking into a room that was exceptionally spacious but probably have no idea of the assignments that this place had once accommodated for some on-and-off several years. The large windows were letting natural sunlight beam into the room, having well been replaced at least once a month when a class last happened here, and rows of arched lab tables with sinks at the end were aligned at the back half of the room while a lone teacher's desk took up the front by the whiteboard (scorched and damaged to all hell but still usable). Familiar faces may also remember the set of closet doors stretched across the back wall of the room containing many supplies such as chainsaws. Nope! Those won't be opened today!
[Your seats are available, assuming Raiden's bots disinfected them when Leon asked for it. As usual, the professor himself was sitting on top of the desk, rather than on the chair behind it (it always cramped his tail when he would have it). He was looking pretty conservative in facial expression.]
Welcome to Creature Functions and Ability Analysis for the wayward journeys of Adventurers, labeled by the higher-ups as "Zoology". Sorry there was no class last week, but as some of you may noticed, O'Donnell's gone now and I went to see him off.
Anyway, I'm Leon Powalski and I will be your instructor for the year.
As the longer version of the class name implies, you will be learning about various sorts of creatures ranging from small animals to large monsters and plant-animal hybrids. You may have asked yourself at one point, "How do fuzzies make you dizzy?" or "Where do Choco Meteors come from when fired by a Red Chocobo?" or even "how many rocks can be stored in an Octorock at any given time?"
Well when you live in a world like this, you're bound to travel and when you travel, you WILL run into monsters!
Well how will you approach these monsters?
How can you dodge this monster's attack?
What's the best way to disable it?
By the end of this class, your final exam will a class trip to enter a dungeon with diverse classes of offensive uglies, and you will know how to deal with them to proceed and not outright kill them.
For studies relevant to this research, you have a choice between wielding a scalpel and observing dead specimens, or simply cutting open a book and get your information from there. You can do both, but if you choose one, you must get notes from someone who did the other so everyone has the bigger picture.
But that's just half of the class.
Not everything that breathes is out to get you. Everyone has lives and now and then, some of these lives strut around to be urban hip and trendy. If anyone did that extra credit assignment I posted last week, they have an idea of what I'm talking about.
This factor of the class will not require any dissections or book research. Every other week, I will list a species or set of species that currently live in this city and you will research them as they live their daily lives and how they go about it. You could ask them directly, but you'll get more answers by just watching and taking notes. It's up to you. Does a Mudkip sneeze water gun during allergy season? Did you know that the old lady human with the sharp claws who rides the Route 36 bus every morning is really a 10-foot dragon?
It will make more sense as we get to the assignments, and then we'll have group discussions the next class.
Keep in mind this is serious research and I will fail you hard if you give me ten pages of perverted babble about someone's panties.
How about we start today's session with discussing that dead people assignment?
