Big Day Big Day Big Day… oh boy…. Does my hair look okay? I normally don't wear makeup……. Eh screw that. It feels funny on my face anyway. Freakin' Wrinkles! Why can't these skirts ever stay set right!? NIGHTMARE!
Fujin had been obsessing over her appearance for the first time she could ever remember, it was going to be publicly announced to the students that she was going to be on staff. And she had taken it to heart she should not make a back impression. The last thing she needed was more hate on her shoulders. Interestingly enough, she had been given a class in teaching magic. She had always been strong in the magic department she supposed, but it was hardly her best subject. Well whatever, she would live with that decision. She would wait until the beginning to homeroom to move to the area that would serve as her classroom, it was a rather large area that had been a storage room, but it was easily large enough to accommodate a small gym. Squall had told her that her class size would be about twenty, she figured she had plenty of room and began on her lesson plans that she had neglected the previous night. She had received a few pointers from Squall who had had a teacher make a substitute lesson plan for magic 101 telling them it had been for a record that didn't exist. Smooth planning, she would never have guessed there was much of a tactical mind to the gunblader, she had always assumed it had been Quistis who was the real boss. Anyway the bell wrung and she headed to the empty room, it was rather nice and she did have her own desk, it was a spacious area with blank walls and one window that was long and rather high up, near the side of the desk there were rolled up posters all of them talking about magic. Well, that was nice it gave her something to do. Little did she know that protectionism would have her spending the next thirty minutes straightening posters that always seemed lopsided…

Squall was obsessing over the minute details of his Uniform he had taken to wearing if for no other reason than it looked a little more formal than his typical attire. He sighed thinking over simpler times but only for a minute. He was supposed to get up in front of the entire garden and announce that they were brining a former fugitive of the second sorceress war into the garden and that was enough to make anyone fidgety, even the normally cool and calm Commander. He moved into his office after rather jumpily walking through the crowds of students on their way to their homerooms to begin the day. They would be sent a school wide bulletin and he knew he would be getting a lot of angry people storming in today. And over the coarse of an hour he had indeed delt with various angry people from the student council to half the teachers in the school. He was becoming quite worn out when the face he was rather hoping would have too stunned to show up trounced his door… again. He knew it had been coming but it didn't make explaining himself easy, especially when everything came into the open.

The Martial artist had practically kicked in the door before it had a chance to get out of the way and he introduced himself with a rousing round of cursing that could have curdled milk and whatever container was holding it. His displeasure was monumentally obvious. After the incoherent ranting he got to the point.
"You Lied to me Squall she was here the whole to me wasn't she! Holy damn man! I can't believe I let you twist me like that how am I ever gonna trust you if you turn around and lie to my face! …." He was angry, he had walked in here and asked Squall about the Rumor and now it was dead confirmed. Deep down he thought it could have been worse it could have been Seifer, but it was all the same, Squall lied.

After letting the man rant for a few more moments Squall slammed a hand down on his desk and the blond stopped dead. Just froze mid word, mid sentence, mid thought as squall spoke up.
"the decision is already made. The Garden master head instructor and myself all agree that this was the best coarse of action. There is a follow up message relaying the findings of the trial to be released to all students and instructors. Now. Go back to your class who you abandoned in the training center before a T-Rexaur finds them." He had spoken with a power he had always been able to pull out of no where and the uppity fighter deflated a little as he realized he had indeed abandoned an entire squad of students in the opening hall of the training center with no one but a teaching aide to supervise. For the second time Zell ruefully and rather ashamedly slunk out of the commander's office feeling that Squall had been a little too harsh.

Fujin was sitting in the middle of the floor looking at her handiwork, she had finally got things set up as she wanted them. she checked her junctions, she needed to have herself ready to teach, she had acquired a Gf named Zephyra a long time ago after Squall had stolen Pandimonia from her, she had not been appreciative but had found this new force fit her a little more nicely than the previous, she felt comfortable in her skin for the first time in a long time. It felt nice to have direction again. She had been lost for a long time, clinging to Seifer and his mission like a life raft when things had gone downhill. Taking another deep breath she stood up and ran through the motions of a warm up, some simple stretching, she remembered how much damage first year students could do with magic. Having no control whatsoever made accidental casting a very real possibility. Ah to be young and an idiot… before falling into memories she was roused by the bell ringing to end the period… well, here goes nothing.
