ℙ the eleventh;

[eternityalone]

[ETA: Once the Salvatores left, Katherine filtered this from anyone from Mystic Falls.]

[The voice on the journal is clear and with purpose. There will be a direct point to be made.]

I'm opening an academy here in a month. Hopefully, it will be something to help everyone here. We're here together and maybe it's not the easiest thing to handle, but we're all fully capable of taking care of ourselves. Why not lend a bit of that real-world experience and knowledge to others.

If you're interested in teaching or are looking to learn something specific - please, let either myself, Tess Mercer, or Lilah Morgan know. I've already spoken to a few of you and I truly believe that this is going to be something beneficial to everyone here.

If you're free this afternoon, I'd love to spend some time with you. I have something I'd like to share.

I was wondering if you'd join me for drinks this evening?

[With that taken care of, Katherine can be found in the city. Pick a place and she's there.]

[ Flatly- ] You're making a school.

[ Excitedly- ] You're making a school!?

[ruin_mania]

[...As nice as it would be to have some actual work to do, Raine's not entirely sure there are enough students around to make it worthwhile.]

What sort of subjects would you be looking to offer?

[eternityalone]

To be honest, I'm hoping for as many things as one would be willing to teach. [It won't be a school for children, but for everyone in the castle.]

We all come from different worlds, with different rules and species -- what better way to better prepare ourselves for what this place might do to us than information?

dictated ]

[eternityalone]

I already made the academy, but I haven't actually started any scheduled classes yet. And it's not a school as in learn mathematics and science - it's a place for anyone to teach others about anything. An open forum for information.

dictated ]

[eternityalone]

I did. I'm just trying to get things planned so that people can actually use it.

dictated forever okay

[midget]

And... you actually think people are going to want to go?

dictated forever okay

[checklist]

It sounds amazing! I definitely want to go!

[ruin_mania]

Well, I suppose I could throw something together on known Paradisa history, flora and fauna, and the different types of magic.

[Raine would have more confidence in the idea if people could be bothered to read the journal instead of complaining loudly every time something "new" came around. Like the children. Anyone who had bothered to read would have known it would happen, and yet.]

[eternityalone]

[Well, to be fair not everyone has an old journal - and let's be honest, even Katherine knows the value of being lazy enough to just have someone do something for you.]

It wouldn't be a structured class -- I'm thinking it'd be just an offered lecture that people could attend. If there was further interest from that, you'd be more than welcome to use any of the classrooms to continue teaching further.

[ruin_mania]

[Laziness is no excuse for not pursuing knowledge--but then, not everyone has Raine's love of reading.]

Hmm. Well, it won't hurt to offer classes, at any rate. Though I won't be surprised if few people attend.

→ forever

[eternityalone]

I'm not going to take attendance, so if they don't want to learn then they don't have to go.

→ forever

[eternityalone]

When there's an actual schedule to post, I can make sure you get a copy.

[eternityalone]

[Raine, don't be so negative. Who cares if one person shows up or twenty?]

Like anything in this place it's going to take time for it to make an appropriate impact.

[midget]

Just as long as you're aware nobody's going to show up.

[checklist]

Yes, please do! Thank you.

Oh, right. And my name is Twilight Sparkle. [ That would help in making sure she gets a copy. ]

[eternityalone]

I'll be sure to let you know when it fails so that you can properly gloat.

[ruin_mania]

[No doubt it's because her former students are the opposite of studious.]

Of course, and better the opportunity be available than not.

[heloise]

One cannot live life to the fullest without having known Petrarca.

[eternityalone]

I'll be sure to put you on my list.

[eternityalone]

It won't do any harm to have it offered.

[eternityalone]

The poet?

[ruin_mania]

That's certainly true.

[heloise]

Yes. “I freeze and burn, love is bitter and sweet, my sighs are tempests and my tears are floods."

[eternityalone]

[Katherine switches to writing:]

She closed her eyes; and in the sweet slumber lying
her spirit tiptoed from its lodging place.
It's folly to shrink in fear, if this is dying;
for death looked lovely in her face.
