Since I don't think we're expecting any more new arrivals, I suggest we begin establishing some ground rules for us all to follow.  A tight ship is a happy ship.  For those of you less apt to picking up on this sort of thing, that's code for 'assigning chores', but there are other things that might bear discussing.  If we're going to

[One of the newest students has a very important question.]

Um... teacher person - what's Communism?

[deaths_heritor]

Susan. Susan Sto Helit. You can call me Miss Susan, Miss Sto Helit, or just Miss.

And I haven't the least idea, honestly. It has to do with the color red and hating America. And if Mayfield is at all indicative of the country, I can't say it's hard to see why this might be an attractive philosophy.

[adropofjupiter]

I think I'll go with Miss Susan. It's easier to remember than your family name.

I wonder why the color's important. My best friend back home wears red all the time.

[deaths_heritor]

You'll have to read the assignment to find out. No doubt it's symbolic for the blood you spill in fighting for your motherland or some nonsense like that.

[ DID SOMEONE SAY PINK?

YEP. You did. Nena likes free things so the second she sees the sack she does what any sane person would do....

metaphorically disembowel the fucking sack in about 2 seconds as she watches the fabric guts spill out onto the pavement. She'll then pink up the bright pink and magenta stuff and wave them around ]

Why are you getting rid of these things?! They're pink!

[deaths_heritor]

Why am I getting rid of these things?

They're pink.

[Susan will step to the side for a moment and watch Nena demolish the sack with some uncertainty.]

Well. Enjoy.

[partytoastess]

Why would you hate the color pink!? Pink is the bestest color ever! [ She's totally grabbing everything that's pink. Ever ]

[deaths_heritor]

Possibly because people have the unfortunate tendency to describe it as 'bestest'. No, really. Enjoy.

[ She was about to buy some new dresses, but wow, okay, that works too. Unfortunately, ] I can see why a two-way transaction isn't necessary...

[deaths_heritor]

I think my drone is colorblind. Or otherwise mentally incapacitated.

[mothersome]

If there is one thing I can be sure of, it's her inability to detect any incongruities in her choice of color schemes.

[ Kanaya actually loves color! But not when used like this... she holds out one of the brighter dresses to see how horrid they are. ] I do hope I never get droned.

[deaths_heritor]

It's really more a matter of 'I hope I get permanently droned before I get temporarily droned', but you can always hope.

Chores?

[Chores and reading assignments? Why you do.]

[deaths_heritor]

Chores.

Don't worry too much. I'm rigging the chore box to get Edward stuck with all the nasty ones.

[strike_you_out]

[A widening grin overtakes his face.]

Good to have you back.

[deaths_heritor]

You don't mind taking care of the dishes every now and then, do you? And I don't mean smashing them.

Or I can forget about reading either of them and lose absolutely no sleep over it.

[voice]

[deaths_heritor]

I don't know about losing sleep, but sense of self might be a different matter.

I barely did any schoolwork during the school year and nothing happened. Why would this be any different?

Err on the side of caution or suffer the potential consequences. Do as you like.
