[ 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. ]

[ Still fidgety. The genuine interest from this guy is weird only in that it's so completely unexpected. ]

Yeah, something different. I'm a roadie. I've been working as a rigger on the Station-House Band's American tour. We were just getting ready for the European leg. [ She sighs, this part always makes her feel so weirdly sad. ] You probably haven't heard of them, nobody here has. But they're really good and like, we sell out arenas.

[ Not sure where to put these feelings, so just holds them awkwardly like a vase that doesn't really have a place to go yet. ]

Sort of? I mean, that wasn't my job or anything so I had to do it in like, little bits when I had time. I do photography, too, but I like video better.
aka_pistachio: (ok sure)

[ She tries a smile but it doesn't quite make it. The truth is, she really loves her job. And the little family she found there. But she really wants to (ugh) pursue her art. And it sucks to have to choose one or the other. ]

Yeah, that would be really good. I just, like... I figure it's all connected, you know? And um. Well. My high school... really fucking sucked. So I just... don't really know where to start?
aka_pistachio: (not sure)

The ones in the rich parts of L.A. are supposed to be ok but... that's not where I lived. Is there like a reading list you can send me? I'll grab them when I go to the library.
aka_pistachio: (ok but)

Cool, cool, cool, I'll get started on it as soon as I get it.
