Tempararilly cleared of children for the time being, a Skunk Girl and what could only be discribed as a bunny girl, still mostly human. They have a projector set up, along with quite a few other visual aids. Posters line the walls, and a great deal of time has been spent in setting up school desks for people to sit at, so far only a handful of people have shown up.
Collium waited patiently for the elevator to stop, the taur taking it instead of the stairs as they can sometimes be a challenge if your not paying attention. As soon as the doors open shi walks right out and looks around, moving over towards the skunk girl and bunny when shi notices everything set up. "Hello, is this were the class or whatever it is to be held?" Shi asks a little nervously as shi looks around at the desks...hope they didn't expect hir to sit in one!
One of the desks is occupied by a collie in white, whos head turns to look at the nervous taur, giving hir a wave. "Hello there. If you mean the class about raising children, you're in the right place." shi says with a smile, though hir attention turns back to the presentation set up for them. Shi had heard Mira saying how she didn't raise her kids correctly the first time around, so when shi heard abut this clss, shi certainly told the taur. Wondering where Mira might be, shi fidgets in hir desk. For now however shi remains seated until everyone arrives.
Dearbhail ; enters from medical bay and moans in pain, collapsing in the available chair before inspecting hir wounds. That blast and tail attack by the Behemoth left hir with deep gashes and a very sore arm. Hir eyes lose focus regularly, most likely a concussion. Shi decides to just suffer through the pain and turns back to the class to catch up.
After the elevator goes up, it starts coming back down again, inside is a very oddly colored Fox Taur, looking around and seeing Collium and Selyra shi waves to both of them, "Mistress... Son... you both know I .. I don't like this place.." shi says walking carefully over to sit down on the floor next to Selyra for now.
The Skunk and Bunny get things underway, "Hello, and good afternoon everyone, today we will be discussing information that has been long out of people's hands" Says the bunny, "Paws. Claws?" corrects the skunk, getting a glare, "Anyway, how to train and teach your rapidly growing children. First, as you likely already know, children grow much much faster these days, though the time various slightly, some take only minutes, others a few hours. The longest recorded time was a staggering one and a half days." The skunk nods and continues where she left off, "Now, with how fast they grow, children will be ready for just about anything an adult can do within moments, but still have the mind of a child, this can cause problems, problems we hope to fix here today."
The door to the triage opens up quickly, a Donkey Boy coming in looking for Dearbhail, "You forgot your meds! Take these, they should have you fixed up in no time, don't be doing that too often though, else you will just have to wait in the ER like everyone else, we don't have many of those." Shi says before returning to her job.
Collium nods to Selyra, that nervous feeling starting to well up a little as another person walks in. Shi hoped that it wouldn't get to crowded, then hir ears perked up. Hearing Miranai's voice helped make that feeling slip away as shi walks over to sit by hir. "Hello Dad, how are you?" Shi asks, hir tail wagging before shi starts to focus on the Skunk and Bunny when they speak. Curious to see what they were to learn in this class.
The sight of the injured agent slumping into a desk gives Selyra an appalled look, feeling the desire to get up out of hir seat. "Why aren't you in the Triage...?" shi asks, dumbfounded. Shi's about to call the nurses, but one makes hir way to the classroom to solve the issue. Hearing the elevator once more, Selyra turns to see Miranai arriving on the scene, hir smile widening. "There you are, Mira, I..." shi trails off, looking once more to Collium. "Son? I didn't know you were one of Mira's. It's nice to meet you." shi says sheerfully, hir tail wagging. About to say something to the taur parent in an attempt to help hir feel more comfortable, the commencement of the class compells the collie simply rests a paw on Mira's back and stroke gently. "It's okay, just try to relax..." shi whispers, nodding in response to the instructor's points.
Dearbhail basks in the relief flowing through hir as the pain starts to eb. Shi turns her attention to look at the new arrivals, but a growing rumble resonates around the room. Dearbhail's cheeks flush, even through the silvery skin and feathers, before her eyes begin to scan the room for something to fill the pit. Seeing a table with some snacks on it, shi nearly teleports to the table and already has her beak and hands stuffed with food. Only after a few seconds shi realizes what shi was doing and looks up at the rest of the crowd. Silence fills the void, before Dearbhail swollows part of the food in her mouth, enough to speak clearly. "It's okay that I can have some, right?" Her eye's take on one of the most dreaded attacks known to man: the puppy dog.
Miranai murrs gently in Selyra's embrase and nods to hir, "Yes, Though... sweetie, which do you feel you are more? Male? Or female? Both?" Shi asks nuzzling softly to Collium after shi sits down, then paying close attention to the presentation.
"To continue.." then some strange looks to Dearbhail as they run off into the cafateria returning with a mouth full and handfulls of simple snack foods, the Skunk and Bunny duo shake thier collective heads, "Please have a set and we can continue, if not you'll have a time out." Teachers the both of them through and through, "To continue, the problem is not that children grow too quickly, but rather that often they are not exposed to the things they need to grow as quickly mentally as they have physically. Often they are not treated properly, not given the experiance that they need. Either out of frustration or lack of caring, parents give up teaching their children or they try to teach them using the old methods." The bunny stops to let the skunk continue, "Yes, thanks to the nanites, children can learn remarkably fast, and with little more then the oppratunity. Take the case of Amy for example, Amelia Erhardt, who was rescued and taken to New York along with her mate. When her mate discovered her, Amelia Erhardt was born to a feral, not learning anything. The intreped hero saved her and braught her to a library. Now, this hero didn't want to take someone sexually who was mentally a newborn, so shi locked her away in a library, where Amy taught herself to read... then, went on to read almost every book in there, learning and learning away. Today she is a teacher in New York and... while very sexually open even for a husky, she is very well adjusted!" They pause here for people to take this in and make comments.
Collium nods and actually starts to smile at Selyra when shi realizes that Shi might actually know the Collie, from what hir father had told hir. "Yes, Mira is my father. It's nice to meet you as well." A flash of movment catches hir eye and shi tracks Dearbhail as they slip into the Cafeteria and then return, then Mira asks her question and shi blinks. "w-what? Well um....I've always felt more...Male, but I don't mind being both really." Shi murmurs before turning back to the Teachers with a frown. Not treated properly, that's not true? ....At least not for hir, hir ears perking up as shi listens to them speak.
