[Darling students and whoever feels like seeing this spectacle on the network, here is your tiny blue-covered teacher with the froggy French accent, for once without a cigarette in her mouth.]

Bonjour! For those of you 'oo 'ave yet to meet me, I am Christelle Desrosiers and I will be teaching beginners and intermediate French as well as Spanish. On that note, if any of you decide to sing 'Lady Marmalade' in class, there will be consequences. [She hates that song, okay, it's been garbled terribly everywhere.]

I am partial to roses and good quality wine if you wish to try your 'ands at bribery, but the chances of it improving your grades are... [Shrugs]

Your 'omework for the first class is to 'ave the textbooks and to show up to class on time. I'm sure you can manage that much, ouis?

If you 'ave any questions regarding the course that aren't explained in the syllabus, you may email me them. Provided they are legitimate, sensible questions that 'ave yet to be addressed elsewhere, I will answer them.

Query, mademoiselle! If a person vere to, say, serenade you with 'Lady Marmalade' AND bring you the finest roses and vintage vine at zhe same time? [Never hurts to push your luck... when you can teleport away from any potential retaliation.]

[seduceme]

There will then be a rather embarrassing video of that person posted to the network. While I enjoy the roses and wine, of course.

[teufelskerl]

Ah, impossible! For I am never embarrassed! And to bring you enjoyment vould be vell vorth zhe effort.

[seduceme]

I 'ave my ways, Monsieur Wagner.

... Though if you manage to sing it well and dance to it, then I might forgive you.

((ooc: I understand - I used to do the same for Chris until I gave up so now I'm just dropping 'h' sounds fff-))

[teufelskerl]

A chance to perform before a beautiful lady?

Now ve're getting somevhere.

[fuckuimametalbender]

Y'know most of the students can't get wine, yeah?

[seduceme]

Of course. [She sounds way too smug about that.] And if they some'ow manage to, I will 'ave to congratulate them on their resourcefulness.

[fuckuimametalbender]

[Toph cracks up. Okay, that's good.]

Assuming they get decent quality stuff, yeah? I mean, I wouldn't count on a fifteen-year-old to get good wine. [A pause] I wouldn't count on a twenty one-year-old to get good wine, either, really.

[seduceme]

I wouldn't count on an American to find good wine at that. [Snorts.] Per'aps I could try teaching about the finer points of wine, but I feel that would be wasted on many. ['Sad' sigh goes here.] I suppose there is little to be done to educate the young on it when they seem far more interested in getting drunk as fast as possible to 'asten regretting their activities in the morning.

[comparative_insanity]

Now, discounting that I never actually took French, allow me to wipe away one bitter tear over the fact that you weren't ever my teacher, and I therefore couldn't bribe you.

[What with the fact that he was one of the students who could and did buy alcohol he strictly speaking should not have. Persuasion powers are fun. So is a best friend who can change the dates on your ID with his imagination.]

Mind, I suppose I could bribe you anyway, and you can pretend to go easy on the homework I don't in fact have.

[seduceme]

There is only so much of a scene I can immerse myself in, so 'ow about we just skip that and enjoy the wine together while seeing just 'ow many outlandish excuses students can make for late 'omework?

[comparative_insanity]

You have a point there. I tend to get way too wrapped up in roleplay and end up making people really annoyed by saying things like, "But honestly, this isn't at all right for a nun outfit from this time period".

[No. Seriously.]

[Also yes, this is a perfectly acceptable thing to talk about on the network.]

I like your idea a lot more. If we reach a tie break, we can always add in strange and bewildering test answers, right?

[seduceme]

Not to mention if you attempt a vaguely 'istorical scene it can be quite jarring when people use the wrong words. [Mournful shaking of the head here.]

[This is definitely acceptable, right? They're just talking about roleplay, nothing fishy here.]

And most artistic doodles made on test papers!

Putting the idea in the heads of the students will only make them want to do it. I know I would if I were still one.

[seduceme]

You're allowed to - in fact, I encourage you to. Just let me put the camera on when you do.

[vulgarcrocodile]

Oh? Would you like me to do it right now and you record it?

[seduceme]

If you aren't too busy... [Yes.]

If we're allowed to accept bribes of good wine, I might have to be unoriginal and broadcast the same message.

[seduceme]

That's provided our underage students can even buy wine, let alone pick out the good ones. [Clearly this is all a good exercise in learning how to be resourceful for the kiddies, right?]

[aile_noire]

The requisition of the bribe is of no concern of mine, barring that it implicates me in some sort of illegal activity.

And no one ever said bribes are successful by default. Failure is apart of life. Bribes included. Though, I suppose we could still keep the poor wine for cooking?

[seduceme]

I suppose, though I 'ate cooking with what I won't even drink. Still, needs must.

[whosafraidofthe]

You sure it doesn't sound a bit irresponsible asking minors to get you wine?

[seduceme]

You say that as if you expect them to succeed.

[whosafraidofthe]

Hey, I've been their age. At least a few of them will be able to.

[seduceme]

If they manage to succeed without being detected, wouldn't their apparent knack for infiltration be of some interest for future X-men?
