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!))

Do we get to pick the type of race and location?

[subconmodo]

Good question! Yes and yes, provided it's still on campus.

[leekspins]

Yay! Let me know what time is good, then! I'll be prepared!

[subconmodo]

Sunset tomorrow. Let's say 5:30PM. Let me know if it will interfere with any of your other classes so I can write a note.

race to eat the most hot dogs

[he's not even in his class...]

[subconmodo]

While I appreciate your enthusiasm, you do realize that I have no sway over the midterms for other classes, right?

[deuteranope]

you scared?

[yokeye]

I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE A RACE
TO SEE WHO CAN READ THE FINE PRINT OF A CONTRACT
[OF MY CHOOSING! NO MEMORIZING IT FIRST!]
ALOUD THE FASTEST!
IS THIS AN ACCEPTABLE RACE?

[subconmodo]

It has nothing to do with fear, Mr. Taylor, I assure you. It's just business.

That being said, should you sign up for any of my classes in the following terms, feel free to use this challenge for the midterm. You'll need to negotiate same as everyone else, but I'll allow it.

[subconmodo]

[he is very, very close to turning this one down. He KNOWS how quickly Toki talks. The boy is a veritable maelstrom of words. But...]

On the condition that you don't memorize it either. Any other stipulations you would like to provide?

[peace_keeper]

Avery if you wish to train there is a fairly extensive gymnasium on our campus that you can use without compromising your grading ethics.

Assuming you have any.

[yokeye]

[He has not thought that far ahead and assumes he has already won this challenge, unless Avery is secretly an auctioneer in his spare time. Possible unsportsmanlike interference is not a blip on the radar, though it probably should be.]

I WON'T MEMORIZE EITHER!
IT WILL BE RANDOMLY CHOSEN FROM THE INTERNET THE DAY OF!
NO FURTHER STIPULATIONS!

[subconmodo]

Of course I have them! Ever heard of a practical exam?

[subconmodo]

Perfect! Good to hear. Meet me in my classroom around 8PM tomorrow. Feel free to bring anyone you'd like as a witness.

[yokeye]

IS PROFESSOR WHITE CHAIN AN ACCEPTABLE WITNESS?

[subconmodo]

That depends on why you want her specifically to be the one to act as witness.

Because if it's another one of your attempts to make us an item, it's not gonna happen.

[yokeye]

I TRUST HER TO KEEP YOU IN LINE
IN THE EVENT I HAVE NEGLECTED TO CONSIDER ANYTHING IMPORTANT
WITHIN THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT!
EKKEHARDT WILL ALSO BE ACCEPTABLE IF
YOU WISH TO VETO WHITE CHAIN!

I'M SORRY, BUT I DON'T KNOW TO WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING THERE!

[deuteranope]

down thirty dogs between classes if you ain't a COWARD

[subconmodo]

Either one. Or even both. Just be sure to let me know by the end of the day which of them you choose.

[yokeye]

I HAVE CHOSEN EKKEHARDT!

UN: Mario#1 Voice-

[p1]

Did someone say-a race!?

[ Mario you don't do midterms.

He just loves racing.

No mercy racing. ]

[subconmodo]

[oh no]

Uh. Yes.

But not that sort! This is more for the kids, you know? A chance for them to get a good grade even if they aren't the test-taking type!

[so many blue shells. so much bad rng. Families torn apart, left in the ruins of a thousand karts along a rainbow road.]

8pm, the next day

[yokeye]

[At the appointed time, Toki has arrived at Avery's classroom with Ekkehardt. He has chosen the random contractual fine print example; which happens to be four pages single-spaced and peppered with excessive legalese.]

Hello, Professor Atchison~! Thank you for this most generous midterm alternative~!

[subconmodo]

[Excessive legalese? HA. HE WENT TO LAW SCHOOL, TOKI.]

Of course, of course! Now, as I mentioned before, I put everything in writing. Feel free to look it over if you don't believe me.

[He pulls the paper out of a binder, holding it out for Toki to inspect.]

I, Avery Atchison, agree to a contest of words. Tokidoki Rikugou will provide a copy of legal fine print, chosen randomly from an internet search, to be read by both parties. Neither party is to memorize the contents of the contest material before the appointed time, decided upon by Avery Atchison. Whoever finishes the reading first is declared the winner.

Should Tokidoki Rikugou be declared the winner of the contest, he shall receive an A on his midterm. He is allowed to bring one (1) witness.

x_______________













[The contract is entirely in German.]

[yokeye]

[HE DID NOT KNOW THAT.]

Okay!

[He looks at the written terms of the "race" and has no idea even what language it's in.]

Hmm. I think I should like to have my witness here look this over for accuracy~!

[He gestures for Ekkehardt to approve the terms if they're sufficient. Hopefully, he know what it says.]
