The thread for Emily and Tamera's class with Rena Flagg on Tuesday afternoon, September 1st.
Take your time with this one, since you're the only PC here. The teacher was introduced in the side thread titled Lunchtime Introductions.

NPC, 184 posts Fri 30 Sep 2016 at 03:55 | [Side] Let There Be Art (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)For someone who nearly died, Tamera is in high spirits as she and Emily make their way to their final class of the day, their elective choice to study art and music. She has her backpack with her, stuffed to the brim with small boxes and a couple zippered pouches, all containing various art supplies.
"I wonder what Rena will have us do?" she asks nobody in particular.

Student, 59 posts Fri 30 Sep 2016 at 05:07 | [Side] Let There Be Art (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)Emily walks with Tammy giving her a blank stare for a minute before breaking out a small smile. "Something on a budget it sounds like. I guess the arts get scrapped even at super fancy private school. Maybe it'll be more independent study with light sort of guidance? I'm guessing you're here more for the visual art and I'm here for the music."
Her smile fades and is replaced with concern as she gives Tammy a careful look up and down. "You are okay right? Internally I mean? I know I bounce back from that kind of thing in like ten seconds but I don't have all the messy internal bits."

Tammy says, turning so she can walk backward while she looks at Emily, "My regeneration is like, completely ridiculous. I'm not sure what the limit is, other than that I have to like, not be dead, and be awake enough to will it to happen... Which actually makes the first point obvious, now that I think about it."

Student, 60 posts Fri 30 Sep 2016 at 17:23 | [Side] Let There Be Art (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)Emily shrugs but she looks almost thoughtful. "Less obvious than you might think maybe? I mean I qualify as alert and all but do I count as alive if I'm all synthetic like? We all probably screw with some traditional science somewhere."

NPC, 187 posts Fri 30 Sep 2016 at 17:50 | [Side] Let There Be Art (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)Tammy stops walking and looks thoughtful for about half a minute and then says, "Well, like, I think I can find out."

Student, 61 posts Fri 30 Sep 2016 at 19:18 | [Side] Let There Be Art (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)Emily tilts her head in thought for a moment and then nods. "I don't mind if you don't. It would be kind of nice to know one way or the other anyway. So... How would that work anyway?"

That warm cotton candy sunlight appears again, only the thin golden mist encompasses Emily instead. She feels like her insides are warming up. It's invigorating and refreshing and on some level reminds her of the sensation of absorbing material to repair her body, although it's not the same.

Student, 62 posts Fri 30 Sep 2016 at 19:35 | [Side] Let There Be Art (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)Emily tilts her head thoughtfully for a moment before breaking out a short dissonant laugh. "Kind of weird? It's like I'm warm inside almost. I don't feel that much anymore. It's almost like my body is trying to fix itself but I'm already at a hundred percent. If that makes any sense."

NPC, 189 posts Fri 30 Sep 2016 at 20:24 | [Side] Let There Be Art (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)Tamera stops, opening her eyes with a broad grin, "That means you're alive! And also that like, I can mend people besides myself."
Her grin turns slightly sheepish, "I wasn't totally sure that would work."

Student, 63 posts Fri 30 Sep 2016 at 23:18 | [Side] Let There Be Art (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)Emily gives a relieved grin. "Huh. That's uh... Kind of good to have confirmed. I was kind of doubting it." She shakes her head briefly before shrugging and giving Tammy a small smile. "Anyway, it's probably nice to know that you can heal other people too. That must be a nice power to have."

NPC, 190 posts Fri 30 Sep 2016 at 23:35 | [Side] Let There Be Art (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)Tammy sighs softly, "It's like... I'm thankful for having it already, you know? It saved my life this morning, and it might have activated unconsciously years ago and saved my life then, but..."
Tamera sighs again and starts slowly walking towards the classroom, "It's like... With the amount of con artists and stuff in the world, like, and how successful they are, like, someone with an actual ability most people would call, you know, miraculous or something... I want to help people if I can, you know? But there's gonna be problems."

Student, 64 posts Fri 30 Sep 2016 at 23:55 | [Side] Let There Be Art (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)Emily frowns as they pick up toward the classroom. "Yeah, I get that. Even once you get past the normal crap, the actual frauds would probably make a lot of problems along the way. Can't have you cutting into their bottom line or anything. After all private jets don't pay for themselves. People are just territorial like that."
Her frown deepens as they approach the classroom. "I guess I didn't really think about it. I've been so focused on the whole not being able to show my face thing that I didn't really stop to consider that a lot of the normals are going to have their own problems too."

Not just you know, like the thing about being a Jedi or whatever, but people who are getting mistreated in the name of helping them, 'cause I don't think he got that skittish on his own, ya know? And then there're people like Ángel..."
She drifts into silence at the mention of his name, a thoughtful expression on her face.

Student, 65 posts Sat 1 Oct 2016 at 00:26 | [Side] Let There Be Art (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)Emily lets the silence settle and walks quietly by Tamera's side the rest of the way. When they arrive she pulls the door open and just waves her fellow student through glancing around as she slings her worn out backpack down from her shoulder.

NPC, 6 posts Arts and Music Sat 1 Oct 2016 at 02:05 | [Side] Let There Be Art (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)As the pair enters the combi-building and then the art room, they are set upon by Rena Flagg.
"There you are! You're... Oh, you're actually a minute early. Nevermind! Come in, come in, and we'll get started," she says exuberantly.

Student, 66 posts Sat 1 Oct 2016 at 02:46 | [Side] Let There Be Art (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)Emily glances at the woman warily before giving a shrug and making her way fully into the room. Her voice is flat with the hints of emotion from earlier drained out. "So we've got a plan then? Get started with what?"

NPC, 193 posts Sat 1 Oct 2016 at 03:22 | [Side] Let There Be Art (Tuesday 9-1-15 Afternoon)Tammy snaps out of her fugue and exaggerates her wariness as she creeps in after Emily and jokes, "You never know, there could be some nude model for us to draw that nobody wants to see naked."
