Hey, guys, I got a few orders of business for you all.

First, I'm Fiona Gallagher. I'm the new secretary at the Albus Dumbledore Academy. Which I know doesn't sound the most exciting, but it means I'm the person you wanna go to for the little details and stuff. Like if your name's spelled wrong on your transcripts, or if you wanna switch courses? You wanna talk to me.

Also, if you wanna enroll, I can talk you through it. It's not a big thing, I mean, the credits don't exactly transfer. It's mostly for learning stuff if you want to. We've got all kinds of stuff, here, uh- [There's the sound of paper rustling; she's clearly looking over some sort of page:] Astronomy, alche- alchemy? [Whatever that is.] Self-defense, magic history, Egypt... Something about Egypt. Anyway, what I'm saying is, this isn't exactly public school.

And to anybody in the school, if you're a teacher or a student, it'd be great if you could introduce yourself and tell me what classes you're taking or teaching? I've got records, but I wouldn't mind doing a double check.

Anyway, second, anybody wanna haul some big a- [Don't swear!! Official work related network post, remember not to swear] some really big filing cabinets into the academy? I'll need 'em in the actual academy if they're gonna do us any good. Payment is traditional currency, you know, a six pack.

Okay, maybe a twelve pack in this weather.

And third, anybody wanna help teach me some of this magic crrrr-... this magic stuff? I have the plant power. I'll pay you.

[ooc lol i probably should have put this up earlier but this post is totally open to threadjacking if the need strikes o/]

I wouldn't mind helping out, but a twelve pack of what?

[Bottles will be a novelty to this guy.]

I've got the plant power myself, but I've only just started practicing with it. If you find a teacher, I'd like hearing about it.

[And so Fiona switches to video to be polite. She'd tried to avoid it, since she's wearing this monstrosity, but she's trying to be properly secretarial...]

Do they not have beer where you're from? Man, I've gotta surprise for you.

[That's ok, I'm pretty sure Ginko has you beat. He just doesn't care.]

Beer? Sure, we've got that. But it doesn't come in... packs.

[He feels like he's talking about herd animals. Now there's an image for you.]

Egyptian history and culture, Miss Gallagher.

If you can advise any students under the age of fifteen that they'll need special dispensation to take that class, I'd appreciate it.

[That's tough, bro.]

What do they sell it in, handfuls?

Oh right sorry. I wasn't sure I would pronounce 'Egyptology' right.

Sure thing. Is there anything I should warn people about?

Inns and waystations sell it to customers by the cup. If people want beer at home, they mostly make it themselves. It's cheaper that way, and pretty easy to make a decent enough-tasting beverage.

Man, I've had moonshine, that stuff's a killer.

...moonshine? It's... usually not that strong. Well, the beer isn't, at least.

[People drink it instead of water in his time, if it was strong they wouldn't be able to get any work done.

But as weirdly fascinating as this topic is, he's volunteered for a job.]

I'm moving these cabinets from the Welcome Hall to... where is this school, exactly?

[He's also curious if anyone else has volunteered, but he figures he's probably strong enough to lift them alone. He hopes.]

If you say so, man. I've never made the stuff.

The Dumbledore academy. It's in Odin. I'll show you and everything, but upper body strength's never been my strong suit, here.

[No video. He's getting sick of people laughing at him and his sweater.]

E-gyp-to-logy. [For goodness sake, Miss Gallagher, learn to at least pronounce the subjects correctly.]

As for help regarding moving the cabinets, Mr. Odair volunteered himself to help with building furniture; I assume that would extend to shifting furniture as well. I suggest contacting him and seeing if he's available to assist you.

Just a couple of questions, however: six- and twelve-packs of what?

private;

One last thing. I can assist you with your power.

[...ah. He taps his fingers on his chin, thoughtfully.]

Odin's pretty far away, right? Nnn... mind if I suggest a change to what you're paying me in? I kind of... didn't get here with much in the way of winter clothing. This is nice-- [He tugs at the collar of his sweater.] --but it's not exactly going to keep me warm if I go outside. How about a coat? I don't mind if it's someone's cast-off, I just don't want one with holes in it.

Egyptology, yeah. Sorry, that's not really something that comes up inna lot of my regular conversations.

Gotcha. We'll have a regular crew by the end of this.

[oh god maybe her world is special in it being the only world with beer] Uh, beer, I mean. I dunno how it works where you're from, but at home, that's what you pay people when they move furniture for you.

private.

--really? I mean- [God, he's hard to read. This is completely unexpected, and it throws her for a minute. But she's smiling. He's a real, professional teacher; if anyone should teach her, he's... probably a good candidate. There's a smile in her voice, and gratefulness:] Geeze, thanks. I, um- whenever you got time.

Oh, sure, I can fix you up with something. Coat, hat, mittens, that sort of thing? What size are you? [Fiona knows how to surf thrift stores, she can definitely make this work.]

Yeah sure, that sounds great. [He just wanted a coat, he's not going to argue if she wants to throw in more things, too.]

Uh... size? [He glances down at his chest, brow furrowed slightly in confusion.] I'm... not sure what you mean.

Edited 2013-12-16 05:09 (UTC)

[Well, he specified 'something to keep him warm'. That's roughly equivalent to an eight pack, right?]

Are you from like the middle ages? I don't wanna get you a coat's too small.

I'm from Japan when the Tokugawa are in power, if that tells you anything.

[He's taking her seriously; she's definitely not from when he is, for one thing.]

If you're in Sigyn house, we can meet up pretty easily and you can decide what 'size' I am for yourself. I'm on the third floor but we can meet downstairs if you want.

Edited 2013-12-16 05:18 (UTC)

Yeah, I... kinda missed AP World Civ, sorry.

You wanna go on a shopping trip? I am a pretty accomplished seer at Saint Vinny's; you're in good hands.

I'm sure you would. It sounds just how it looks.

We will be mummifying rabbits and toads, so sensitive students need not sign up.

[Egypt-o'loggy? Hm...] Do you think kids won't like that? The younger kids I know back home would all love that sort of stuff.

[And then an edit added moments later:] Not that I'm telling you want to do. Its your class of course.

Edited 2013-12-16 05:29 (UTC)

...sure, I wouldn't mind.

[That's one way to make sure his clothes will fit, though he's starting to wonder if she's even speaking the same language he is.]

Meet you in the main room?

Edited 2013-12-16 07:14 (UTC)

Don't you have to be born with magic or something? [ she's just basing this on the tele and books]

My name is Alice Liddell, Miss Gallagher, and I'm a student at the school. How do you do?

I would help too, but--what do you mean by "six-pack"?

My name is Aurora and I shall be attending Professor Snape's school.
