bravenewworld | 001. Class in Session

[It's another beautiful morning in Union and what does that mean? For some students, it means being up at 8am for Professor Albert Heinrich's Pokemon Ethics lecture course. The giant blackboard in the university's smaller lecture hall is covered in notes all written in neat and even rows of white chalk and Albert paces in front of it. Today's class, as it's near the beginning of the term, is an overview of Legend of the Savior and an open discussion on how humanity came to be so arrogant in the past and what they can do as a society to prove that humankind has learned in the time since the Savior.

If any student wants to speak up in class all they need to do is raise their hand. If they want to discuss today's lecture, feel free to catch Albert after class. If anyone's late, they'll need to stand at the back of the room but are still required to participate. Disruption will not be tolerated! Professor Heinrich has a reputation for being something of a nurturing hardass; try and stay on his good side.

And remember, Pokemon are allowed in class, but if they can't behave the consequences are on the trainer.]

((ooc: Any sort of interaction is welcome for students! He takes all ages in his class and encourages lively debate either with him or each other so long as it doesn't become disruptive. If it does you might get detention.))

[Jet was in no way a morning person and having to sacrifice his beloved sleep for an 8am class was torture pure and simple. But talking about humanity and it's past arrogance in how it treated pokemon is something Jet had always had an interest in and actually enjoyed talking about it.

So, unlike some other days when he might be more quiet with only the occasional two cents thrown in for participation, he was right there raising his hand and discussing the topic like it was a passion. Even his paper he reserved more for doodles (gotta stay awake somehow) than notes was entirely blank for how attentive he was being.

It was a good day!

Until Ikarus decided she'd had enough jostling with Jet raising his hand and speaking animatedly, how was a Fletchling to sleep when her perch insisted on being more active than usual?

So she chirped angrily at him and took off from his shoulder, sailed down across the rows of tables and landed quite happily on the softest looking thing at the front of the room.

Professor Heinrich's hair.]

[Albert enjoys when his students are engaged, especially students who fell asleep during the orientation class. He understands his lecture is early in the morning, but once someone reaches this level, it's expected they have an interest enough not to sleep. Regardless, he's glad to see there's more energy in the room today and he starts writing the questions that pop up on the board to be answered.

Or he was until he felt something plop down on top of his head and rustle down into his hair.

Albert's chalk skids on the board, the noise screeching throughout the classroom and effectively bringing the lively discussion to a similarly screeching halt.]

What in the world...?

[This was one of the moments when everything seemed to go in slow motion and Jet knew what was about to happen the moment he felt that little weight on his shoulder take off.

He tried to make a grab for the fletchling, but she was far too fast for him and he could only watch, mortified, as the little creature flew over and nestled in the older man's silver hair.

He bolted for the front of the classroom even though the damage was already done, the snickers from the other students fluttering to his ears.]

I'm sorry, Professor Heinrich she kind've just--I mean she doesn't usually just do that to people she doesn't know...sorry.

[His face was on fire, but to his credit, he was still able to maintain eye contact even while he stood awkwardly, unsure what to do. It wasn't polite to just shove your hands into your teacher's hair to retrieve a wayward pokemon.]

Mister Link, if your Fletchling can't behave herself in class then perhaps she shouldn't attend.

[Albert reaches up and nudges Ikarus' little feet with his hand, trying to get her to perch there instead of worsening the mess of his hair. If she won't move, he can't afford the distraction of continuing to interrupt class and he'll just teach with her there in his hair, but either way for Jet, detention is likely imminent.]
