The teachers of the Liminal Academy

Description

Name: Atir Farouz
Gender: Male
Age: Looks to be about 24
Appearance: Atir is generally seen as a tall, striking, male, with dark brown hair, and brown eyes. Olive skin. He dresses well, always in the latest male fashions, though he will always be found wearing golden rings, one for each finger.
Personality: While many will call him evil for what he does to them, thats simply slanderous. Atir is simply interested in confusing all, teachers and students alike. Some call him charming, some call him cruel, some call him childish. The best term is crazy, though there is always a 'good' crazy, and a 'bad' crazy..
Rumors:
~Some claim that Atir uses illusions to create his handsome appearance.
~Some claim that he has used his status as a teacher to take advantage of students
~Some claim he is proficient in another type of magic, aside from illusion, and teaches a few select students that type of magic.
Class(es):
Illusion Magic
(?)

So begins...

Dressed in regal clothes, Arir Farouz slowly walked into the Blue Room, miraculously on time, as opposed to his usual tardiness.

He glanced at the illusion of the hall, noting all the new students, and smiled. The incoming students seem to be amusing, a good deal scared, nervous, or excited. The new students were always the best to harass, them not knowing his usual antics.

After the short glance at the illusion, Atir turned back towards the Headmaster.

"Should be a good year." He said, with a smirk, ignoring all the formalities one should have when talking to the Headmaster of a school.

"Cecile Tudor," says Luthien, as the first of the first-years entered the Academy, visible as a small figure in the miniature Great Hall. Luthien made a graceful gesture with one long-fingered hand, and a second sphere of illusion appeared above the first, showing the young Cecile's androgynous face. "He is one of those Tudors, yes." Just a slight emphasis on that 'he', likely only noticeable by those listening for it...

"Shade Dara. Thief," said Luthien, in a completely matter-of-fact tone, as the next student stepped up to the Chatelaine.

"Allyse Gypso. Dancer," he continued. "Ah yes, and she brought the cat. Coal, I believe." As if the cat's name might possibly be relevant...

There was a brief pause, as the earliest students dispersed and others began to filter in behind them.

"Should be a good year," Arir said, smirking.

Luthien raised an eyebrow, and replied dryly, "So glad you think so, Professor Farouz."

Atir looked back to the illusions, and then back to the Headmaster.

"Please, I know I've said this every year, but just call me Atir. The 'Proffesor' term is so I'll fitting for me." Atir said, shaking his head.

"They just seem like they'd be fantastic to fool around with. Why... I'm half tempted to illusion myself as a student, just to give the newcomers a taste of this school." Atir added, with a grin. Of course, this wasn't even a joke, as he had done just that a number of years ago, much to the annoyance to a few.

"And you, Luthian," Atir said, specifically calling the Headmaster by first name, "What do you think of all of this year?"

"The 'Professor' term is so ill fitting for me." Atir said, shaking his head.

"Indeed. And yet I feel compelled to use it, in hopes of evoking those qualities which you lack, Professor Farouz." Luthien's delivery was deadpan, but there was a hint of amusement crinkling his eyes. It had become something of a game between them, this mutual disrespect, each in his own style -- at least, Luthien seemed to regard it as a game.

The headmaster just shook his head slightly, as Atir suggested another prank of the type he'd pulled some years ago...

"And you, Luthien," Atir continued, "What do you think of all of this year?"

"Mm," said Luthien, a noncommittal noise, as he turned his attention back to the illusion. "That just now was Ellard Donahue, April Summers, and Phoebe Avalon." He brought up their faces in turn as he named them.

"On the whole," he continued, "I'm pleased with them. We've filled all our slots, and nearly all of them have clear potential, in one form or another. A few... potential challenges, of course, as there are every year."

" Such a bountiful crop of young and promising minds." Jan spoke as the students paraded through the illusion of the great hall they were all watching, sitting in the blue room. It seemed somewhat voyeuristic this unseen watching of what would become the new student body but the false monk could not deny it's usefulness. If only this could be employed everywhere, t'would make the job of being the dark goddess's eyes and ears a lot easier. Then again it was in all likelihood was. As one of the few non-mages here Jan would wager a great deal that there was much he was not told. Which seemed fair enough as there was things they'd never learn from him either.

" And lucky are we to be the ones to teach them to be the best they can be." The bald and muscled monk added indicating with a wave of his right hand all the teachers present sitting around the show they were watching. " As for the criminal past of some our students I doubt they were so forthcoming with it Headmaster." Jan further expended upon his comments. " Or did you perhaps step beyond the simple questions your rather forthright greeter did?"He asked with a slight rise of his left eyebrow." Such curiosity seems ill suited to the environment we wish to foster. After all some of the magic practiced here sits ill with my own order let alone Al-Monj himself. Yet it is only petty theft you seem inclined to mention."

How he loved such games of minor wits.He wasn't all that good at them but still he loved to play them for they only improved with use. Of course Jan Zhao loved such games, the man behind the mask was a tale none would ever know. At least that was Al-Jumi's wish and would remain so till he failed his true mistress.

" Such a tone Headmaster for such a simple question. " Jan replied with what was perhaps the faintest trace of amusement though to be utterly truthful there was perhaps an iota of reason for it. The monks of Al-Monj served the temple as it's eyes and ears, a less kind interpretation would see them called spies. If so the man pretending to be what he wasn't would argue they weren't particularly very good at such a task, he was living proof of such an opinion. Still Luthien had every reason to have such thoughts concerning the opinion of the followers of Al-Monj. Namely because the council headed by the Arch-Curate Disa,Knight-Commander Kira,and Grand Master Phu had a very low opinion of the Academy.

What was truly amusing was the fact that Jan has filed entirely false reports with GrandMaster Phu. And for the good of the Academy itself. For if those fools in their shining armor and white robes ever learned about half of what this place's Headmaster allowed openly his presence here would be in a different capacity altogether. But such narrow minded concepts of good and evil were only for children's stories. The world was so much more then black and white. The world was in fact composed of so many shades that it was nigh on impossible to distinguish gray from black. Not that he cared to in the slightest, false monk that he was.

Still Luthien seemed to want to find the line between dark gray and black if the presence of the Liminal's Necromancer was any indication. That and the ever so aggressive response the mere mention of his order's displeasure with his methods invoked. An interesting development that Jan thought one that he perhaps could further explore for the profits it might yield. If only at the sufferance of his true mistress's pleasure. He doubted it'd take much convincing for the Lady of Shadows did always enjoy moral ambiguity. For such was the easiest path of conversion, the shortest distance to fall as it were.

And the other teachers present must share Luthien moral ambiguity to one degree or another,else why support his plans and methods. Perhaps there was potential in each of them to learn of the darkness past their concept of dark gray.

"Still I suppose it is not out of place, I personally have no more concerns." And here he implied that the council had no more concerns. " As for becoming biased towards the students due to their criminal past. All who seek the light shall find it." The monk added, the watch phrase of the followers of Al-Monj though he didn't add the other half of the phrase. Namely about being dragged into the light as he saw little need to give offense at the moment.

Mortimer stumbles out of his workshop, locking three of the six locks on the front door. Security first! he lives outside a mine for pete's sake!... Mmmm... Sake... perhaps he should have some after school? No. The people for responsible teachers or whoever they were would have him do no such thing. Oh, right security! Mortimer, with Alchemical Shaping, welds the door shut. No use letting the cold in anyway... After several minutes, Mortimer decides that he shouldn't seal the whole thing shut.... He'd have to spend hours undoing it! So he leaves it welded a bit on the leftmost side where it opens from, and on the top and bottom left corners. Admiring his handiwork, Mortimer sighs.... Oh fiddlesticks! The antipoison for class!

Maury un-welds as fast as he can, then re-welds it, realizing it would take too long, and crawls into the window he left open. Falling forward and hitting the floor of his house, he runs to the kitchen, and scavenges his chemistry set for the antipoison.... It's not there!

Hm, maybe he put it on his bedside table? Mortimer sprints to his bedroom, not finding it on the bedside table, he realizes he forgot to put on his tie today. Hurriedly he ties the "'Frantic Monday" tie about his neck, and remembers where he put the antipoison!

He had artfully carved out a square-shaped hole in several hundred pages of the dictionary in order to store potions in it, and so he turned to the B section, withdrew the antipoison, climbed out of his window, and closed it. Now to hail a cab to get to the academ-

He had left his wallet in his other pants! Mortimer spent several more minutes borrowing a ladder to climb down the chimney into his house, he changed into new clothes, cleaned himself up, and then suddenly noticed the door to the academy in his workshop.

A few minutes more, and Mortimer finally stumbled into the Blue Room...

"Sorry I'm late. I had a dreadful morning!"

"All who seek the light shall find it."

Luthien's lips quirked into a wry half-smile -- there was no doubt that he knew the other half of that particular catch-phrase. Whatever comment he might have made was interrupted by Mortimer's arrival, however.

He waved one of his hands, flicking his fingers outward -- a graceful gesture of dismissal.

"No matter, Professor Whippet. There are a few more students to be expected, but in the meantime, does anyone have any issues or questions that they wish to raise?"

"Oh, I don't think so." says Mortimer, "Other than what I think we've discussed earlier... Don't worry, I brought the antipoison!"

He draws the hard-found bottle from his coat.

"But I've been thinking, what if the students aren't morally inclined to do this? Could I still give them an A if they just make a potion with the effects they wanted?"

"Haha, she does a better job of being around then Luthien, at least." Atir stated, with a chuckle.

"This is an interesting group of students. I'm excited to see how this all works out." Milhera said, to which Atir nodded enthusiastically.

"I agree. They look as if they'd make wonderful playthings." He said.

Tristan rolled his eyes in ridicule, while Katherine shot Atir an intimidating glare.

"...I don't know. They sometimes view the teachers as their playthings, if you remember the years before."

As usual, instead of being intimidated, Atir simply smiled towards Katherine's glare, as he recalled the year Tristan mentioned.

"Ah yes, that was an odd year. Not bad, per se, but certainly was one of the oddest ones. I believe I, spitefully, failed one of them." Atir said, with a chuckle.

"But, these kids don't seem like trouble. At least, the ones going into Sunlight seem fragile. Candle are as usual, though." Atir noted, nodding.

"Speaking of which," said Maya de Mendici, lounging back in one of the chairs, arms folded across her chest, "How many should I expect to be taking Self Defense?"

The other Mendici was Luthien's opposite in nearly every way. She was dark-skinned where he was pale, short-haired where his was long. Aggressive and intense, compared to his unruffled calm. Quick to take offense, when he let even comments as bold as Atir's pass with nothing more than a slight lift of one eyebrow.

"A goodly number, I'd expect," Luthien replied to his sister. "There's a few that brought weapons, and of course a few more who might have aspirations in that direction. But you might want to consider running two sessions this year."

"Mm," said Maya. "Yeah. Anything over eight, and I will. Last year was a bit much."

Luthien nodded, then looked around the table again. "Any other business, then?"

"I have refined a few of them, and had to renew others... but in essence, yes." Luthien said to Tristan, with a nod in his direction.

"Awh, the assassination was a blast, though. Hopefully they'll find a way around them." Atir said, looking saddened.

"But, I suppose it's for the best. I'm certain a number of students would love to kill me if they could." Atir added, shrugging.

Then, turning to Maya de Mendici, he chuckled.

"I still don't get how you two could possibly be related."

"And I still don't get how you could possibly be a teacher, and yet, here we are," said Maya, regarding him with narrowed eyes and a hint of a smirk, her arms still crossed, slouching back in her chair.

"Maya," chided Luthien, before turning to Atir. "The wards prevent entry by those with lethal intent. They will not help you if such an intent develops in someone after they have entered the Academy."

"Really?" Atir said, looking shocked. He then looked perplexed, and shrugged.

"Wow, I'm amazed I was never killed, then..." Atir says, chuckling. "Which isn't really a good thing. I'd hope some of them got annoyed enough to actually kill me... Gonna have to step up my game, then."

"Professor Farouz," said Luthien, with just a slight emphasis on the title, "Your... game... is quite sufficient as it stands."

Mortimer then spoke up, and Luthien turned his attention to him. "You did indeed have a variety of... substances... with you in the classroom when we spoke. I daresay that was them?"

"Ha ha, come on, you guys complain about me, but look at Maury! He doesn't even remember when his class will be." Atir said, with a laugh.

"But, I don't actually remember our ruling. Who is running the detention center this year? I'm assuming a bunch of Candles will be stuck there this year."

"The Chatelaine has graciously agreed to take on that responsibility," Luthien answered. "I do encourage you to use detention sparingly, however. A verbal reprimand should suffice for a first offence, unless it is a serious one."
