Pinned to the small board by room A102 was the following notice: 1st period Introduction to Hanakotoba
Teacher: Umeko-sensei
Inside the room, Umeko was busy placing sheets of paper on all the desks. She had a laptop set up to the projector at the front, along with a few snipped flowers on her desk. Satisfied with the class preparation, the ronin made her was back to the front as a few first year students entered. She nodded back at them as they bowed before moving to sit. There was still a few minutes before the bell, so the botanist sat at the front desk, waiting. |

The first to walk in was a young woman of the Crane. In her hands rested a book, a folder, notebook, and beneath all that a small tablet. She stepped off to the side and bowed to Umeko as greeting before she silently took a seat at the front of the class. As she set her things down, the young lady's eyes couldn't help but trail to the flowers on, what she presumed to be, the sensei's desk. A look of almost knowing crossed her features and her attention shifted back to Umeko whom she smiled at before taking her seat and awaiting for the class to start. Ikebana Roll: 25 |

Hoshiko, guitar on her back, arrived with a big smile on her face after the mornings guitar battle with Noboru.
She bowed to the teacher, and those already gathered, and found her place.

Chiyo strode in humming, bowing almost playfully to Umeko on her way in.
Yesterday was a total success. The last twenty-four hours have been a total success. This year, Bayushi Chiyo would take back up her mantle in a new way.
She too carried a small arrangement of flowers on her pack, but they appeared to be there for decoration. Mostly cutesy, not aiming for elaborate or impressive. It reflected her mood, which to everyone’s either detriment or benefit, was lofty as all get out.
She took her seat and started to arrange her desk as if she were preparing for some kind of secretarial job. It was so odd...in previous years she used to just sit back and look very bored, or start to snark up others instantly. This time she kept her thoughts to herself. These Crane chicks are alright. Hoshiko redeemed herself when she told Otomo Mochihiko off, so other than that, she had no qualms so far.
Especially given that Umeko was her very special favorite teacher.

Umeko would get a special guest in her class this morning, someone who'd never attended before but always showed some interest in the woman's fields of study. Someone that would probably cause the students, especially the rumormongers, to talk for days!
Utaku Genji steps in, taking a seat in the very back of the class room. If she noticed him, he'd simply smile and bow then kept quiet as he listened like a diligent student.

Umeko smiled warmly at the students as they filled in, nodding her head in acknowledgement of the bows. Her eyes narrowed slightly at Chiyo, and she froze when her fellow sensei entered, looking at him in utter confusion.
On top of the desks were small printed documents that went over the most popular flowers and their meanings. It was far from covering the more in depth aspects of habakotoba, but gave a good overview of the basics. The teacher's eyes flickered to the clock. Still a few minutes to go until the start of the class. She looked back at Genji, resisting the urge of walking up to the man and asking him what the hell he was doing here...

Momiko had everything with her; Books, pencils, pens, notebooks, a recording device, mace, smelling salts, a can of tea, sweets, a homing beacon, flares, a magnifying glass... amongst other things. She dearly hoped she hadn't forgotten something that she'd end up needing. But, then again, the backpack certainly seemed like enough of a burden as is.
Setting it down with a huff, she looked at the paper on the desk she'd been assigned.
Oh no, is this a quiz? Already? But I haven't studied yet! Wait... no one else seems to be panicking. Maybe... they studied? Were we supposed to? Well... I think I'd remember if they'd said that. Maybe it's one of those things that break ice? Am I supposed to...
Opening up, she saw it was some sort of summary of the class and she let out a loud sigh of relief, slumping in her chair a little. This day would be stressful indeed.

Yoshi walked into the room with a bit of a yawn. then immediately closing up the moment he noticed the teacher. bowing to her politely with a wide smile.
"see, made it to class, right on time" he said over to umeko and continued to an open seat next to Momiko. hiding his exaustion rater poorly. he pulled out a beat up, old notebook and a pen that seem to have exsploded on his way to class
"crap. hey, mind if I borrow a pen?" Yoshi said to Momiko. chucking the inky mess back into his bag.

It wasn't Momiko who would be the first, or at least the only one, if they did offer, a pen to the crab. Considering how quiet the room is the request didn't go unheard by Tsuki. She held out a blue and black pen to the man from her seat, turning to face Yoshi. "Kaiu-san, if you wish, you can borrow a spare I have."

Asahina Momiko got a gentle poke from the girl next to her - another Crane it seemed. "Hey, you new here too?" she said quietly, her eyes full of excitement
