Spring!
A nameless hill
in the haze.

[There is a pause.]

I thought I would try my paw at a bit of poetry, but I'm not sure I'm quite suited for it.

That said, 'tis the season when life begins anew, especially for our verdant friends. The Guardian Sapling a few of you helped me plant a few months ago has reached full maturity already, and so Sakuya may watch over us from afar. Perhaps the distortion of time and space aided with that...

That out of the way, I have a question for you... what are your more long-term plans for the season, friends?

((ooc: poem source because i couldn't think of one myself...))

While I realize that I am a new student here on campus, I am rather disturbed to find out I have been signed on for the school's "Miss" Pageant Award that is taking place this Friday. I believed this was an occurrence that happened in Japanese High Schools and that a campus like Smash Academy would not be celebrating similarly.

Moreover, I do not own any piece of feminine clothing.

Has this happened before?

I AM NOT VERY AHPPY RIGHTNOW ⊙﹏⊙ ミ

[Katherine's still not sure what she's getting herself into--teaching fashion design at a fighting school. A very bizarre fighting school at that. She doesn't even know what to make of it yet. There is a very slight twinge of nervousness in the midst of her otherwise confident demeanor.

The video clicks on and she appears to be sitting outside.]

Good afternoon, faculty and students. My name is Katherine McBride and I am a new teacher here. I will be teaching a fashion design class and if anyone has questions about it, please don't hesitate to ask.

[She smiles—it’s forced, but it’s the best she can do for how awkward she feels! This camera thing is going to take some getting used to. Heck—this place is going to take some getting used to!]

In the meantime, could I trouble anyone to show me around? I just arrived here not too long ago.

[She's totally not lost. Well... okay. Maybe she is a little.]

It would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

[And with that, the feed ends.]

[The image flickers to life, and it’s obvious that the camera’s been carefully placed on a counter or something of similar height, as the image clearly shows the back of a rather… womanly figure. With a great amount of theatrics, the figure whirls on her(his?) heel, long ponytail whipping around with him as he does so.]

Hello, hello, students of Smash Academy! I hope you’re all ready to run, because your new track coach has arrived! That’s right! So if you’re interested in joining the track team, please just let me know~♥

Oh, where are my manners? I am Kazegami, and I hope to get to know you all soon!
