[Side] Lunchtime Introductions (8/30/15)
Dr. Henningsen greets everyone warmly as they file into the dining room. This time, lunch consists of several large platters of "sub" style sandwiches made with assorted meats, cheeses, lettuce, and tomatoes.

He has two new people on each side of him, "Ah, good, you're all here. I have two more friends to introduce you to today. First, this is Mr. Logger."

An older gentleman with a warm smile waves to the assembled students, "Hi! You all should just call me Calvin, please. I'm really excited to meet all of you! I will be here in the mornings during the week to serve as your counselor. You can talk to me about anything you like, completely privately, and I'll help you any way that I can. Speaking of which, here, pass these out to everyone."

He hands a stack of business cards to the student closest to him, "You can call me at any time if you need someone to talk to."

"He'll also be giving a few lessons on first aid, which I encourage you all to pay close attention to. Now then, this lovely lady is Ms. Flagg. She will be your art and music teacher," he says, indicating the woman on his other side.

"Rena, Doc, Rena, don't make me sound so old and professional," the gal says with a teasing grin.

She's wearing an, odd, assortment of mismatched clothes. Featuring a denim vest and a patchwork skirt of primarily russet and clay tones that further contrasts with her rich green hair.

"Anyway, it's nice to meet you! I have a bunch of great ideas for fun creative activities you're sure to enjoy!"

"Ms. Flagg, do remember what we talked about. No overpromising before I approve the budget for a project," Dr. H reminds her.

Gesturing broadly he finishes the introductions with an exclamation, "Now then, let's eat!"

Ángel listens to the various introductions silently. He is unable to resist an exasperated sigh at the counselor but he says nothing. The art and music teacher draws his attention, he's seen plenty of people with that eclectic fashion sense and it seems to give him some hope for the future.

"Ms. Flagg, what kind of music do you plan on teaching us? I was in my church choir until my change and it was kind of fun."

"Rena! I'm not even much older than all of you," she says, gesturing at the students as a whole.

"And I suppose Doc hasn't explained everything yet? Well then!"

Rena, however, just talks right over him.

"Since there's so few of you, and you were all in different grade levels before you came here, we're doing a self-paced kind of thing. So fo example if you select art and music as your elective, during one period each day you'll come to my classroom in the combi-building, and we'll explore all kinds of things depending on what my students are interested in. Oh, but not art history and stuff like that. Google exists, if you want to memorize information you can just get it that way," she finishes with a dismissive shrug.

Blake has also been listening, while as usual trying to eat as quietly as he can manage. At this last he make an amused noise, partly crossed with a 'hmmm'. Rubbing his chin thoughtfully as he considers Rena, he says; "That's an interestingly progressive point of view." He pauses, then deadpans, "I think I might have a bit of a, scale, issue with any instruments though."

Rena gives Blake a wry half smile, "Depends on what sort of art you want to practice. Big paintbrushes are easy, an oversized piano would be much harder."

"And completely out of our budget," Dr. H quips.

Tony shakes the hands of the new teachers. He takes Calvin's card and quickly slips it in his pocket. When he shakes Rena's hand, Tony's nose twitches. He shoots her a sideways glance, a quizzical expression flashing on his face. He then smiles and nods politely before helping himself to food.

Tony eats quietly, listening to the others as they explain and ask questions. At the mention of self-paced studying, he asks Rena a question.

"Admittedly, I'm not really good at art," Tony says to her. "I mean, I like listening to music and it's fun to look at pictures, but I'm more interested in science or building things. Would it be possible to try to incorporate design or engineering into a project? Maybe like programming laser show displays or something?"

Rena's eye grow slightly bigger and light up with excitement, "Oh, absolutely! I have this great idea for a concert we could-"

"Not afford on your budget, Ms. Flagg," Dr. H says with a sigh.

The counselor, for his part, shakes his head and chuckles, "Anyway, Tony was it? You don't have to choose art and music as your elective. Each of the teachers offers their own elective options during the last period of the day. Which reminds me, Doctor, is there any progress on getting a shop teacher?"

"I'm afraid not. Mr. Kronner is adamant that he doesn't want any more responsibility," Dr. H replies and then remembers to inform the students, "Oh, Mr. Kronner is our groundskeeper and handyman. You'll see him around now and again."
