How could that simple project end up with half my students blowing up their desks!? It's all HER fault for going away. *grumbles* Does this happen in everyone's classes??

*irate, speaking rather fast* Today we are going to discuss the Marcomannic, Medieval, and Dalecarlian scripts that developed from the runes of the Younger Futhark, and the conversion of Scandinavian linguistic tropes to Anglo-Saxon or primitive English. You'll find a discussion of the subject in Haldah's Twenty-Five Magical Languages, third chapter, section 16. For homework, twelve inches of parchment on the subject, and transliterate a monologue from any Gilbert and Sullivan drama into one of those three scripts. Advanced students can translate a passage from Hávamál into English for extra credit.

...

Well, get on with it!

OOC: Does the 12 inches, but misunderstands the assignment to the max and translates 'H.M.S. Pinafore' ((with an irked note of 'THATS A LOT OF INK AND PAPER USED!! I stayed up all night doing this!!)) and a monologue from a modern day play ((Harper's Monologue from Angels in America The first one into Medieval and Marcomannic.

Thats what he gets for not paying full attention.

This is one time when being intangible comes in handy. Bob asks Daisya to stay after class and turn the pages for him so he can mark the assignment right away. MWAHAHAHAHA. He also gives him an O for the translations, fifteen points for doing the entire play, and a weird look five points for the monologue variations (that's what Bob gets for not having heard of Angels in America before). And for staying up all night... a tactlessful note suggesting that maybe he ought to read the assignment more carefully next time.

Nana does the assignment, though was a bit under that foot that he was looking for..it was more around ten inches. XD Though she did do the extra credit!

And Amane does all twelve inches, and a bit more. She even does the translation that's for advanced students, even though she's only in 4th year. Because she's that much of an overachiever.

Though Bob marks Nana's ten-inch assignment A instead of E for the length, he gives her a solid E+ and two points for the extra credit.

And for Amane, five points and Os all around. XD

L (probably for the sake of spiting his professor) did everything perfectly. His writing is small yet readable and his paper is exactly twelve inches. His translations are professionally done, and he also translated the extra credit passage. On the back of the extra credit he wrote "You seem somewhat irked. Not favorable for complexion."

Re: OOC

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

As he finishes reading the flawless papers, Bob glances up and gives L a very dirty look. But he is nothing if not fair, awarding a separate and distinct O for every page and twenty-five points for sheer workmanship.

The following is written under the extracurricular comment:

..... Mind your own What part of 'monochrome' do you not compre ..Well, if I weren't dead
..I'll be sure to warn my cosmetician.

L slips a note onto his desk.

"You have one?"

Oh, written sarcasm.

Re: OOC

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

Unable to return it in person, Bob sends the note back impaled on one of his Charmed quills.

"For all you know."

The next class they meet, L sits in the way way back. In the middle of the lecture he holds up a charmed piece of paper that reads "WHO'S THERE TO IMPRESS?"

Re: OOC

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

Well, ouch. Turning his back, Bob continues to write rune examples in glowing letters in the air. At the end, he quickly adds a line in Spanish, a language no one else in L's class can read--Obviously not you.--swiftly wiping it away before anybody else can copy it down.

Re: OOC

[l-awliet.livejournal.com]

L chuckles. At the end of class, he walks over, bare-foot and with back slouched over. "You really are one of my most intriguing professors."

Re: OOC

Standing, as usual, ramrod straight, Bob folds his hands behind his back, tilts his head and takes a rather ironic long-suffering tone. "Dear me," he drawls, "what have I done to merit that?"

Kakashi does his monologue transliteration into the Medieval and Dalecarlian script without as so much as a hitch; he does his 12 inches for his paper, and he translates several poems from the hávamál rather well.


Kenny, on the other hand, tries to do a translation of his monologue to the Marcomannic, and does well for the most part, but gets stuck on some words. He does his 12 inches for his paper, but it's a little bit more due to the size of his letters. Just a liiiitle bit larger - not too noticeable.

Re: OoC:

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

That's several E's and O's for Kakashi, along with five points for thoroughness.

As for Kenny, awarding points for not nearly getting killed would probably be too cruel, but his efforts do not go unnoticed -- an E for the Marcomannic and a few suggestions on where to look up the words, and another E for the paper, because Bob can tell he tried. XD
