Office of Professor Sokolov Thanks Kita for the graphic! Once you have been given permission to enter you will walk into brightly lit room. On your right you will find some of his swords displayed on his bookcase full of rune books and personal favorites. Don't Touch or he will hex you. On your left you will see a castle made for his cat. It is amazing. But probably not the reason you are here. On his desk you will notice a box with as dagger inside with a note next to it. A gift from a friend. Just don't touch it it has a itching hex on it. The only thing the note says is Be careful not to choke on your aspirations. You will find Sokolov either at his desk chewing on licorice snaps and reading. Take a seat, No expense has been wasted on comfort. You can take from the bowl of licorice snaps if you want. Just no stupid questions. OOC: Please post in the Seating Area first or have been told you can enter by me or Sokolov. Thanks! |
Yas we've made it Quote:
"What about the air? Can I touch that?" She asked, sliding into the room, careful not to touch the door as she made her way inside. HOLY COW, THIS PLACE WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Wow! Are these real???" Her eyes had grown twice their usual size as she whipped her head from one side of the office to the other. This question was in reference to the millions and bajillions of swords he had. "What's that for?" She bounced, pointing to the boxed dagger on the table. Her fingers aaaaalmost close enough to touch it, but hovering just a few centimeters away. She wasn't breaking any rules yet. None of these were stupid questions by the way. They were important ones. Oh wait, she had one more. "Am I allowed to touch my butt on the chair?" Because she kinda wanted to sit down. |
Quote:
"It was a gift. I would not recommend touching it since i don't want to bring you to see Healer Reed" Only the first question and the last question were dumb. So 2/4 is not terrible. He was still watching to see if she would touch it. Highlight of his day so far. "You can sit. I was mostly talking about the books on the shelves" |

"Oooooh," so they were real, REAL! That IS AWESOME!!! She couldn't hold her excitement in, t was practically bouncing out of her. Or maybe she was just bouncing. Yeah, she was definitely bouncing. "Uh, duh," she replied with a wave of her hand, like of course. "They're SO cool." She nodded loads. "How come you've got so many? It was a valid question. "Are you preparing for war?" And if yes, COULD SHE BATTLE TOO? Zoryn had never fought in a war before, but it sounded epic. He was doing a good job at keeping up with her questions, which she appreciated it. Except his answer concerning the box on his desk was not satisfying enough. "Didn't really answer my question, Professor." Just saying. It was a gift at some point. But what was it for NOW? And the warning made her very, VERY curious. "Why'd I have to see the healer?" She asked curiously, her finger still daringly close to the box. And she'd stand like this until he gave her a good enough reason not to touch it. Her real question could wait. |

maybe he should have some calming potions on hand just in case he gets anymore kids like this. Also it would not hurt to give some professor's some too. Just a thought. Just how many questions did she have. "Nothing you see in this room is a fake or imitation. I like to collect and no those wont help in a war." He figured if he kept answering she would finally get to the reason for her visit or get bored and leave. Either worked for him. "Touch it and you will find out why" Answering that question would ruin the fun. Plus the longer a curse is on a object the stronger it becomes. Roughly. It depends on the curse and what wards you use. But with this one its getting stronger every year. Stronger Itching Curse that would fun to see in action. "You can sit down you know" Standing in that position must be exhausting even for an eleven year old. |

"How come you collect them? I know people who collect rocks and coins and comics and stuff, but not swords." That was a weird one. "Do you just like how they look?" 'Cause that's the only thing that sorta made sense to Zoryn. 'Cept that was still kinda weird. Especially since he wasn't planning on using them in battle, which by the way, was a very disappointing thing to hear. Aw man. She really wanted to help!! ....... She narrowed her eyes a little bit in response to his lame answer. "How come you won't tell me? Is it a secret?" Because he was hardcore avoiding the question. And the more he warned her against touching it... The more she WANTED to touch it. Ugh. It wasn't fair!!! He was testing all her self restraint, and Zoryn didn't have much of it!! "I know," she replied confidently, still too curious about the box for her own good. Still she stood, with her hand outstretched and finger only centimeters away from the cursed object. From the outside, she looked like your normal run-of-the-mill-excited-first year, but on the inside HER BRAIN WAS HAVING AN EPIC BATTLE. To touch? Or not to touch? That was the question. She also had a REAL question. But that could wait. |

" You know something i have heard about what makes a good teacher. It's not not telling your students everything and letting them figure it out for themselves." Sometimes unless they were total idiots. Also seeing her wanting to touch it but heeding his warning for now was putting a smile on his face. If he tells them everything how will they learn to arrive at the answer themselves. Or in this case. Why touching the dagger is a bad thing. Viktor shrugged. As long as she knew she could sit down he was fine. "You know what i did before becoming a Professor, Zoryn?" Might as well give her a hint. |
Quote:
And AGAIN with the vague answers that were hardly even answers. The first year threw her hands in the air in frustration and defeat. Before letting out a huge sigh and slumping into the seat across from his desk. "I hate when teachers get all teacher-y." It was no fun. And Zoryn WOULD touch the box. Just not today. 'Cause she didn't have time to visit the healer too. She was already wasting so much exploring time sitting here. "You were a samurai?" Hey! It was a good guess. 'Cause how the heck was she SUPPOSED to know!?! Was he gonna lecture her? |
Quote:
Look at that all it took was not answering all her absurd questions to make her sit down. Viktor will chalk that up as a win for him right now. Zoryn will have to get use to Teacher's getting teacher-y since that was one of the last bits of fun they can have here. "Im sure you will learn to hate it even more by your seventh year" Was she being funny....yeah lets go with that since well she was only what eleven. Viktor stared at her before taking a second to make sure he wasn't goign to say anything sarcastic by accident. "No, not a samurai. Curse-breaker. Do you know what that is Zoryn?" He hoped she did. Unless she was muggleborn. Then this whole year will be an adventure and not a fun one. |
Quote:
Her questions were NOT absurd!!!!! Faith said that only smart people ask questions. She let out a DRAMATIC sigh at what he said because if teachers were gonna be teacher-y for all seven of her years here then her life was o-v-e-r, over. Basically. "Oh," wait a minute. The gears were turning. Her head was working. "Duh," she waved a hand. Still thinking. Still OH. "Is there a curse on your box?!?!" Because THAT made sense. Well, not really. "How come people give you cursed gifts?" That didn't sound like a very nice present. And she was suddenly interested again, which showed in the fact that she was no longer slumped in the seat... But instead had jumped right back up with her finger pointing at the object once again. "Do you have enemies? Was it a fake gift? If I touch it will I die?" |
Quote:
"There is and a friend finds it funny to send them to me." Well now he knew she was probably never goign to run out of questions. "It wasn't and i don't only ex girlfriends. I told you already. It would just cause you to go to Healer Reed for a little bit. Nothing Deadly" He kept those at home. |
Quote:
"Oh," Zoryn didn't think it was very funny. But it made sense that adults would. 'Cause they have a very dull sense of humor. It's why she always had to give professors pity laughs during lessons. 'Cause they thought they were funny but kids didn't. And it'd be super awkward if they didn't laugh at all. See, she was super considerate. Oh, she'd definitely never run out of questions. Questions were what Zoryn Spinnet did best. "Anyways, Professor, I've gotta go," asking all these questions had made her really hungry. "Oh! I came here to ask you why they call it ANCIENT Runes," she said, giving him a look up and down. "But now I get it!!" She shrugged as she turned towards the door. Yeah. She just called him old. |
Quote:
"Alright" Viktor started to get back up and then he heard her actual question and well that was one he had not heard in a while. "That's good. If you need help understanding why another class is called Care of Magical Creatures. Let me know and ill tell you" The alphabet she would learn is from the 2nd century AD. So yes they were obviously old. And yes he was old since he was old enough to be her father. |
