The Xavier Institute for Higher Learning

[Summer vacation or no, Fai is in his lab coat. When is he ever not in his lab coat? First person to ask Feliks if he takes it off in bed wins a cookie. He's also sprawled on his desk, the camera propped on a chair, meaning his face is definitely upside down as he addresses the camera.]

So, since it's summer and I can't officially hound you students right now, I'll just post here and see if anyone bites anyway.

Firstly! I have a couple of voluntary museum visits and excursions planned for the summer - if you want to, there will also be the option of writing an essay for extra credit in biology or mutation science.

Secondly, for extra credit in chemistry, or just because it's fun, do feel free to join me while I attempt to create sparklers and fireworks. [He rolls his eyes and grins before adding:] I've been told to inform you that either fire extinguishers or Professor Abs - sorry, Hijikata - will be present, so there is not need to worry.

That's all - you are now allowed to go back occasionally remembering your summer homework and striving to take procrastination to new heights.

[Hello Institute! That embarrassing last post where everyone tried to beat it into Fai's thick skull how dumb he is about Feliks? Let's pretend that never happened. Especially you, students. Today, Fai is being professional.

Well, professional for a given value, anyway. Fai is in his lab coat, but Fai is almost always in his lab coat while he's around school, so that doesn't say much. Underneath he's in a plain black linen tunic and pants like these because he's always been a great big hippie. He's perched on his desk, smiling brightly at the camera.]

Hello students! Since I was reminded by our school nurse, in a manner of speaking, I thought I should make a quick announcement of it...

For those classes this applies to, we are in fact going to use the time leading up to Valentine's to get started on sex-ed, no matter how cringe-worthy that might be to some of you... or just old news, I suppose.

[He shrugs, because really, he doesn't give a toss if you blush when someone says 'breasts' or if you've already moved on to the advanced section of your own private practical exercises, there's always something important to learn.]

Younger classes will be going through the basics, we'll scare you all with facts about puberty, and we'll have a couple of classes set aside for questions and answers hour - there will be a question box where you can drop whatever you want to know on a piece of paper. Or just jokes of varying maturity, I guess - who knows, you might come up with something I haven't heard before. Maybe there'll be a small price.

[That is, of course, if you actually would like to stand up in front of class and be congratulated on the matter. So probably not.]

Some of the older classes will have repetition, some of the more scienc-y bits, plus open discussions covering sexuality and gender identity more extensively, as well as safe sex, consent, social structures, sex and mutations, that sort of thing. We might co-ordinate with the social sciences department a bit.

[He looks down and to the left of him, as if he has a list which he's trying to cover.]

If anyone has any questions or a topic they want to especially broach, do bring it to me, and I promise I won't shout out your name in front of the entire class. You can be completely anonymous.

[He winks, because he's a bit of a complete bastard, but he'll still stand by his word.]

Oh, and on a related topic... Try not to get caught, will you? It's almost as embarrassing for the lot of you as it is for us teachers, and that's saying something.

[And with a small nod to exactly how much of a grown-ass adult he is, he ends the transmission.]
