[ The A.C.E. camera feed is set up so that when it flickers to life--best effort converted technology that it is--it's a steady front-on angle. This is #seriousstuff, he doesn't want this to be construed any other way. ]

First off, I believe I need to extend an apology to all of you for having been somewhat lacking in faculty at being faculty. Excuses be what they may--and I know the past several months have been a distraction, to say the least--I recognize that they do only extend so far.

That all said, with some very enthusiastic support, I think we may just be ready to get this school on its feet properly.

And yes, kids, I did say school.

[ It's said with a smile, but he knows the excuses are coming. Better to cut that off at the quick, right? ]

To those of you who expressed interest previously, please consider this your formal follow-up invitation. We need all the help we can get.


[ ooc: There is an ATTACHMENT to the video post. This spreadsheet should include separate pages for classes, student sign-ups, and clubs (if you're inclined to extra-curriculars). Feel free to slot yourself in how you want, add a new line if you want to double up on a subject/deal with a variant of, or add a subject I missed.

ooc, p.s.: I will have a school mingle log to condense top-levels/log posts/etc. up later this week. ]

Reporting in. I still need to do some research on syllabi, but I'm more or less prepared.

[welcomeprofessor]

Splendid. I'm incredibly thankful to have you back. [ And he sounds it. Sincerely. ]

[Wow Charles, why do you care so hard when she more or less fell off the face of the multiverse for a while there?]

What? Didn't think I'd make it back from that last mission? You're lucky I did, I have textbooks.

[welcomeprofessor]

[ Because he cares about everyone, obviously. But she isn't the only one who'd disappeared. He's well aware his own tendency to withdrawn hasn't exactly been the ideal course of action. ]

You continue to be a godsend. And no, I have every faith in you, I just know it's been some time since we last talked about this.

[tearmeanewone]

I wouldn't go that far.

It has been a while but, I told you I would help, and I'm sticking to my word.

[welcomeprofessor]

And I continue to appreciate it. It's worth stating as much, I think, when I know not everyone would.

[tearmeanewone]

No, you're right, not everyone would.

It's nice to hear, for once. So thank you.

[welcomeprofessor]

Basic decency hardly requires thanks, but as always, you're very welcome.

[tearmeanewone]

For some of us, it warrants thanks. Take the stroke, Professor.

[welcomeprofessor]

Alright, you've caught me. But that goes both ways.
