From her hiding spot, a bit of a grin appeared on the headmistress' face when she heard the first set of footsteps enter the room. She wasn't surprised in the slightest at those who had arrived being so quiet. Their setup today for class was a bit out of the ordinary for Ancient Runes. When voices were overheard, the grin on her face grew a little wider. Where was she? Was she watching them from inside the suit of armour, waiting for the proper time to scare them?
As humorous as that would have been, the answer to that question was no. That would have been too predictable for a woman whose motto was to always be vigilant. Instead she had something else up her sleeve, which she had been busy keeping an eye on before they all had arrived...
The woman, at ten o'clock sharp, quietly slipped her way through a door that connected the backside of the classroom to another room and quickly closed it before what was within decided to make an escape. Not a single sound was made as she gave their visitor, Marilyn Romalotti, a nod as a greeting -- they would have time to properly greet each other later; she had a lesson to teach now -- before sneaking up behind everyone else that was present and accounted for.
Her voice suddenly sounded after Jessa Cambridge asked if anyone had seen her, likely surprising those who assumed she was watching them from within the hunk of metal in the front of the room. She had, after all, more or less appeared out of nowhere. "I hear someone got their revenge by permanently transfiguring her into that suit of armour up there. Matches her personality, doesn't it?" A gentle smile was playing on her lips, implying that she was obviously joking and proving that she could make fun of herself within reason.
Now that she had revealed herself, Regina walked between the student-armour duos to the front and took her place next to the only rune-carved suit in the room so far. "Good morning, everyone! Up to this point in the term, we have spent a lot of time learning and mastering the runic alphabet and its meanings. We are now ready to move on to runic magic and using it in more practical, day-to-day scenarios."
It was at that moment she then made a grandiose gesture at the breastplate her suit of armour was sporting. "If you haven't realized this yet, carved on the metal of this suit is an Algiz rune. This rune will be the focus of our lesson today. Before we dive in, however, let's quickly review what we already know about Algiz. I'd like for each of you to share one thing you know about Algiz, and please raise your hands before sharing."
OOC: Hello, everyone! Thank you all so much for participating in our first role-played Ancient Runes lesson of the term. I am so excited that you are all here! If you have yet to post in this lesson and wish to do so, act like your character has been here the whole time ... unless you want your character to show up late, of course. ;)
To kick of the lesson, Regina wants to know something (1 thing) that your character knows about the rune Algiz. Try not to repeat something that was already said, and remember that both correct and incorrect answers will be accepted. The lesson will continue in roughly 24 hours. Have fun!
