What's up, everyone? Enjoying your midterms? No? I thought not.

Lucky for those of you taking my class, I happen to be feeling generous. Take note, people. This is a once in a term event here!

I'd like to offer you unlucky souls a deal. See, I've been trying to get a little fitter over the past few months. Can't use magic to solve every problem you have, right? Right! I want to see how much progress I made.

That's where you come in.

You beat me in a race? You get an A on your midterm! I'll even put it in writing so you have a paper trail. The only thing I ask is that I get to pick the time. I'm a busy man, you know.

Feel free to ask any questions you want. And don't feel put out just because you don't see any replies. I'm screening all comments in order to protect my students' previous privacy.

((Please see the OOC post here!))

[Despite appearances, praise from Avery is very appreciated. He might even attend the next lecture. Toki opts for waving before he says something else stupid and heads for the door. Half way there, he stops...

The landscape is barren and surrounded in a cloudy mist. A group of people dressed in dull colors and hats are gathered at a tiered square depression in the ground. One chips away with a chisel, another brushing debris away with what appears to be a paintbrush. As the mist dissipates, vague shapes of ruins in brick and stone appear. He has some kind of tool in his hand, it's tiny and looks like an awkward shovel. When he looks back up, the mist has darkened into some shadowy prescience. He's instantly filled with intense dread, though he can't actually see what it is he's afraid of. The others are screaming. It's suddenly extremely cold, so cold it burns.

...He can still hear the screams as the images fade. He's shivering and he can't feel his fingers. He needs to makes notes on it all before he forgets, but he drops his phone attempting to take it out of his pocket. The screen cracks, though it's probably still usable.]

[He stops in place, eyes darting wildly around.]

[What just happened?]

[This wasn't his fault, right?]

[Wait. No. Of course it isn't! He had a witness! He didn't even touch the kid!]

Uh. You going to be okay there, Trooper?

[yokeye]

W-what?

[Oh. Yes. He was still in the classroom.]

I'm f-fine. S-sorry.

[It's so cold. Toki manages to grasp his phone, the feeling slowly coming back to his fingers. It is indeed still usable. He sits at one of the desks and inputs everything he can remember about the vision into a text file to sort out later. It will need less sorting than most, being fairly straightforward for once, but still making little sense. When he's finished, he's unsure which way to go.]

I um... I was l-leaving...?

[He only has a vague idea of what he was doing here. Something about midterms. It will come to him.]

[subconmodo]

[Avery frowns. Now that it appears the kid is mostly okay and he's not going to suffer any repercussions he's pulled himself back together]

Yes. You were.

After you tell me what just happened.

[yokeye]

I had a vision, it's fine~!

[He's not freezing anymore, and slightly more aware of why he was here. Definitely midterm related.]

I failed the midterm, right!? Are there going to be an other extra credit things not listed on your profile!?

[subconmodo]

[Seers, man.]

No. You took the challenge I posted onto the network and managed to pass with an A.

[SIGH]

Thigh it seems I'm going to have to repeat the advice I told you.

Go take care of your vision. I'll... write it down or something, I don't know.

[yokeye]

[Toki can't help but laugh at that for a second, but it registers that he at least passed, though the A had to be embellishment.]

I would have believed a D, maybe a C, but you went too far~!

[He waves and leaves the classroom. He'll check the network for whatever this "challenge" was later.]
