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!))

No way. Not that I don't mind the occasional metaphor-laden contract, but this time the race is literal.

The location: the track at sunset! The goal: to go around the track once! First to cross is the winner.

[ Videl carefully reads and rereads Avery's response, as well as his original network message. It seems like a great offer on the surface, but since this isn't gym, a simple lap around the track probably isn't going to cut it. Either Professor Atchison is inhumanly fast and odds are stacked in his favor, or he's got a few tricks up his sleeve. And given the subject of the class, Videl suspects the latter.

A good fifteen minutes or so pass before she responds. ]

that's not specific enough. you have to pick an exact day and time. and the race needs to be limited to regular human abilities only. so no flames or demon magic or anything like that.

Five PM, two days from now--classes permitting, of course. First to make it around the track wins, both parties limited to what a human can achieve without magic.

Sounds like a good start to me. Anything else you'd like to add or shall I start writing the agreement now?

[He's not kidding with that first part, either. Making him be specific? Cutting magic and flames out of the equation? Smart moves.]
