there's seven things i hate about you....

[hypercompetent]

shut up i totally didn't quote miley cyrus THE TEN THINGS TO TEN PEOPLE MEME
1. post a comment detailing 10 things your character has to say to 10 people! Or more, or less. Do whatever number you think is necessary!

2. don't designate who each number is for! they can be as specific or vague as you want, but no names, just letters/numbers.

3. Other characters can respond (hey is number 3 me? You jerk!), or wonder about the other numbers (you got into a fight with your number 9? who was that?) et cetera, et cetera.

4. Let the heartfelt feelings/awkward miscommunication/passive aggressive bitchiness begin!!

You'd be correct.

[purpleprose]

Thought so.

That being said, if I were a pupil of yours, what would I be learning?

[gordianknots]

If I'm working personally with a student? I want a full demonstration of all skills, hone in on the strengths and weaknesses, and try and figure out what need the most development. It could be a strength made stronger, a weakness to round everything out, or maybe something lying dormant.

[purpleprose]

So you're more a personal trainer than anything, then.

[gordianknots]

Only when I need to advise. I do lecture too, like any university course. Both are forms of instruction.

Also personal trainers definitely don't require written assignments or give out alarmingly long reading lists.

[purpleprose]

Both of those sound more enjoyable than they do torturous, actually.

[gordianknots]

Fft-! Usually I get whined at.

[purpleprose]

Do I strike you as the type to whine?

[gordianknots]

No, not at all.

[purpleprose]

There you have your answer.

[gordianknots]

You also don't have about four or five other courses to contend with, making your life that much easier.

[purpleprose]

I wouldn't mind several others.

[Is that a pleased grin or a challenge accepted smirk? WE JUST DON'T KNOW.]

[purpleprose]

[Rose will only grin in return.]

I don't think skipping the entirety of any high school curriculum will hurt me much, do you?

[gordianknots]

Well, we'll find out, now won't we?

[purpleprose]

Does that mean you've changed your mind about sacrificing tutelage for equality?

[gordianknots]

Well, why don't we see what you can do and what you want to learn, and see if there's some means of balancing the two?

[purpleprose]

I don't see a problem with that.

[gordianknots]

--Fantastic.
