Japanese Lessons sign-up

OKAY GAIZ! So Itoshiki finally broke down and is now your local Japanese teacher! So here's your sign up sheet! Afraid I don't have the old teacher's list of students, but whatever, you'll all have to sign up anyway!

Itoshiki can only speak English and Japanese, though if your character happens to not speak English, he'll be teaching you Rosetta Stone style (fer cereal). Please fill out the form below, and obey his every despair! As well, Itoshiki will accept those who request private lessons in exchange for food (he's got two kids to feed, after all).



ASSISTANT
Occasionally will teach the class when Itoshiki is in despair.
SPOT IS OPEN

CLASSES
English speaking students come on Tuesdays and Thursdays. All others on Monday and Wednesday. All students stay for an hour and a half.

Lyra Silvertongue / [livejournal.com profile] lyraofoxford
Age: 16
Fluency: Not a word.
Original Language: English
Special needs: None really. She's a fast learner, and she wants to learn quickly so she can talk to her friends more easily. Also, don't be surprised by the pine marten that accompanies her everywhere. He's her daemon.

PRIVATE LESSONS
Lessons are forty-five minutes to an hour long.

Special needs: She can't speak. At all.

Eriol had been signed up to be the Japanese teacher's assistant-- he also speaks Japanese and English, and also, somewhat reluctantly, a smattering of Chinese. Would you be interested in having him?

norunningwithscythes: (Amused)

Oh dear. Susan will be constantly sighing at his ridiculousness. XD

(Also, Susan actually has the ability to find anyone she knows the name of. So - Susan going and fetching Itoshiki whenever he disappears, y/n?)

Well, he's not actually 12 and one of his other selves is a teacher by profession, so he'd probably do all right. XD

[personal profile] norunningwithscythes 2009-08-07 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
(Awesome! Also, expect that after the fetching incdicents, Itoshiki will get the Look. The Look is...well, pretty much it sounds like - but it's not threatening, it just makes you never want to see it again.)

[identity profile] reed4context.livejournal.com 2009-08-07 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably because he isn't very good at pretending to be twelve? He trusts people to trust his appearance over his actions... which worked in canon but doesn't work as well here.

(fff But then, he doesn't seem like he'd be hard to scare XD)
