[Your inbox flickers with a new video message. Once activated a serious-looking man, with strong green eyes, addresses you in an even tone.]Good afternoon students and staff. My name is James Norrington. I may have met some of you already but my formal introductions to the school have been long overdue

[fearthefool]

What have you been doing here up til now?

[video] Oh Clopin, you sassy bitch.

[destinyentwined]

Excuse me?

[video]

[fearthefool]

you've been here for months without a job. What do you do all day?

[video]

[destinyentwined]

That is none of your concern.

[Video]

[destinyentwined]

I do not encourage persons of delicate constitutions to be part of a ship crew. It is rather... vigorous.

Fear not, your skills may lie in other directions. You could, perhaps, learn magic from another teacher.

[Video]

[destinyentwined]

Ah, allow me to check.

[He looks down, there's a rustling sound of papers being moved as he gets the class chart and reads down the list.]

I'm afraid the magic courses they had were closed due to the teachers leaving the Academy. I imagine they will have a replacement in due time. Until then it may be best if you enrolled in Dream Training with Dr. Facilier.

[slap_me_thrice]

Seamanship, eh? A practical course, or is this theory, Admiral?

[destinyentwined]

Practical.

[Theory. Norrington could almost scoff. Then scoff some more.]

[slap_me_thrice]

[Theory had been a dig. An innocent Gibbsish dig.] And I expect you'll need a man on hand who knows the lines, won't you.

[destinyentwined]

Of course.

I took the liberty of signing you up.

[And when he's mad at you he'll make you swab the decks. ♥]

[video] yeah. late. sorry.

[hateskaraoke]

I am supposed to what?

[video]

[destinyentwined]

Excuse me?

[video]

[hateskaraoke]

That just sounded like you wanted me to take lessons in Marksmanship and Seamanship. You're not serious about that one, are you?

[video]

[destinyentwined]

I highly recommend it, but it is not mandatory.

[video]

[nocorsetsplease]

Ah, James. I did mean to ask you something earlier in regards to this class we shall be teaching with one another.

With the Mist receding, or at least, having receded far enough, I wished to add a level of practicality to our lessons. Namely, a bit of experience first hand for our students.

[video]

[destinyentwined]

I assumed that you were already doing so.

Yes, we will be sailing. In more advanced sessions we will be teaching use of the cannons as well.

[video killed the radio star~]

[nocorsetsplease]

Yes, well... a bit. It had not been permitted, thus far, to go sailing about with the Mist threatening to creep forward. However, with these most recent developments after the breach, I wished to perhaps petition the Headmaster for a highly controlled and enlightening bit of time on the sea.

Just below the isle, nothing terribly extraordinary. Though I think for more advanced sessions not only should we expect cannon proficiency but also to be able to navigate wherever the Mist is not. Henceforth... trips would be deemed not only necessary but... useful to our purposes as not only instructors but a battalion of united people against this evil force.

I was hoping, that you would perhaps agree and help me in this endeavor to convince the Headmaster. At least to allow the small circling of the area below the island to start.

[now I have that stuck in my head. :|]

[destinyentwined]

Yes, I agree. I will draft a letter tonight and submit it for your review.
