Snape's school?!
Hi, Snape mun here, otherwise known as Alex! I've wanted to get this post up sooner than I have but blah, health issues have made it a bit difficult to get my thoughts together about it. :c BUT. As some of you may recall, Snape made this post on the network about starting up classes! Well, some information about said classes and, eventually, school:![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
spongebong.
- While classes are going to be starting out in the library for the time being (I'm in the process of writing up a timetable of classes and what things are taught on what days), Snape has put in a business application to be granted a loan to build a school. Here is a very basic rundown of the school! I'll be adding more details to it as I work more details out! That is just the bare bones atm. (School rules will also be added; I'm currently in the process of writing those out, too.)
- Classes are at the moment only offered to people 18 years and under. However! Classes will become available to adults if enough people are interested in their adult characters undertaking education.
So, just out of interest: who would be interested in their adult characters attending the school as students? - If your character is 18 or under and wants to attend classes/Snape's school, please leave a comment here so I can add your character to the student list.
- The school will need teachers! Can your character teach? Is there something your character would like to teach? There are only four prerequisites for a character to do so:
1) your character must be 18+ to be a teacher
If you'd be interested for your character to teach, please leave a comment here! There is an "official" thread for having your character sign up to be a teacher but that thread won't be opening until Snape's school is built and open. In the meantime, please leave a comment here expressing your interest and we can chat about it!
2) your character must be canonically skilled in the subject area
3) the subject isn't already being taught by someone else
4) your name isn't Lord Voldemort or Barty Crouch Jnr.SORRY, VOLDEMORT AND BARTY, SNAPE ISN'T GOING TO LET YOU ANYWHERE NEAR HIS STUDENTS, YOU PAIR OF EVIL BOLLOCKS. - If you would like to suggest a subject to be taught, please leave a comment here!
If you want to suggest a subject but you're uncertain about doing so/want to discuss with me, please don't hesitate to contact me at my plurk or via Snape's journal! - To make the school interactive, there will be a House point system where people can earn (and lose) points for their House. It worked well with keeping people in line in Hogwarts, so Snape will be implementing the same in his school, haha. Thus far, I'm thinking school Houses will directly coincide with Asgard Houses; so, if your character is in Hel, for example, then they will also be in Hel House in the school.
Which brings me to how the points will be issued! At the moment, I'm thinking that the easiest way to go about it is for there to be contests at the school where people have to work together? Which will also benefit Asgard itself by helping to bring colour to the city due to people having to help one another/having to work together. One of the mods mentioned to me that Freyr would be willing to give small prizes now and again, as well.
I have made a thread specifically for suggesting contest/point earning ideas. Please, please, please - don't hesitate to leave ideas if you have them! Doesn't matter how silly you might think they are, suggest them! If you'd prefer to do so in private, you can of course hit me up with a private message on DW, or send me a private plurk!
I'm also thinking of doing a thing where people will have random chances to earn points for their House once a month based on using a RNG.
How points will be lost is if characters break the school rules in any way. Again, I'm in the process of writing out/working out school rules, so there'll be more info on losing House points once I've done that.

If I had to choice for him to teach a class, then I would like for him to teach either some sign language (as he found it very handy during the Gentlemen plot), all forms of math -- or at least the ones Japan teaches their students -- as he seems to have a gift for it (there is a scene he teaches Ririchiyo math and she masters it in the same scene), home economic might be fun as he knows everything about cleaning, cooking, and about fabrics and the like (he might learn to sew with his own students), or he could teach as a teacher's aid or volunteer as tutor in any/all subjects as, again, he has a knack of learning skills extremely quickly.
If neither are any good, then it is fine as well. This just sounds like a good idea for him to get a second job.
no subject
He is TOTALLY WELCOME to teach sign language! He can be part of the Languages department?
Also, you'd have to discuss this with the Sandy mun but Sandy, who will be teaching history, will need a hand with an interpreter. I know he has others helping out with translating but I'm sure Sandy wouldn't mind an extra pair of hands regardless.
The TARDIS is teaching Advanced Mathematics, but Soushi is totally welcome to teach Intermediate or Remedial! He's ALSO completely welcome to teach Home Economics.
THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER, BB. WHAT WOULD LIKE SOUSHI TO DO? :D?
no subject
Oh wow, so much to choose from and Soushi can't multiply in Asgard to do it all. I would love for Soushi to do everything, but it wouldn't be realistic of him to.
I think Soushi would be great to teach sign language to the children or whoever is interested in learning. He could offer his services to Sandy whenever he would like to use him or if no one is able to help him on that day. A substitute teacher's aid, maybe?
I know Soushi would enjoy being a tutor if asked of him to. I just need to find an IC way for someone to ask him about it. He is not the type to do things on his own, but if someone just tells him "Soushi, why don't you do this?" then he will offer his services without complaint. He is that type of character, I'm sorry.
Oh geez. I feel like a kid on a candy store. xD

It was a pleasure speaking to you. Can I add you on plurk so we can plot for any future stuff? I would love to get the chance to write with you and bounce Soushi against your character. I don't have enough serious dark types for Soushi to overly flatter and be all <D at.
no subject
I'll be plotting and planning (with the help and input of those involved in the school once it's open, of course) school events and such, so there'll be plenty of opportunities for interactions with all sorts of characters, Snape included! I'm actually really stoked about the school - it's turning out even better than I had thought it would. It's going to be chaos - exactly the kind of school Dumbledore would have loved, lmao. :D
no subject
ffff. I am a little canon blind when it comes to Harry Potter, but I love the cast in this game so far -- your Snape included. It will be a real treat to play with you. Either way, I can imagine the chaos and we'll do what we can to make this a success. Count on us. That is the great part of this game! We all treat each other like family. C:
Plus, I am very excited about this okay. Very, very, very excited, so thank you very much for this idea!

btw!
