Winter quarter is nearing its conclusion as Finals and Spring Break are quickly approaching. The library is bustling as students frantically prepare, but campus is also buzzing with excitement in anticipation of the school-funded Spring Break trip to Provence.

The administration, however, is not unsympathetic to the stressors of being a student. Comforts such as therapy animals, snack stations, and de-stressing events are being held all over campus to keep students as relaxed as possible and help them prepare for their finals. Daybreak Academy needs their students to succeed, and they spare no expense in helping them do so.

A. STUDY SESSIONS

With the approach of exams, the Hall of Pythia is enforcing 24/7 quiet hours. While it has quiet a few study rooms available, many students will find that the rooms are being booked up at an alarming rate. To account for this, classrooms and media rooms in Theater Lenormand are also being opened up for student use. Many others are spilling over into local restaurants and cafes, coming together as groups to review course material and prepare for their upcoming exams.

During these times, Faculty are expected to take a more hands-on approach as well. Faculty are strongly encouraged to host their own study sessions and rigorously review the exams and what to expect. Faculty are all given first priority for open classrooms and are able to hold after-hours lessons and Q&A sessions as they wish. While it’s not, strictly speaking, mandatory, Faculty can expect it to come up on their annual performance review if they don’t make themselves available to students.

B. THERAPY ANIMALS

Animals have proven to reduce stress, a thing sorely needed during the lead up to exams, and Daybreak Academy has provided three types of therapy animals upon request to aid with making study times much more bearable: The rare Armenian Aralez who is generous with it’s doggy kisses, About six huggable corgi-sized Wooly Bugs with their incredibly soft wool, and a pair of languid Temple lions that don’t mind being used as pillows. Try not to get too distracted from your studies.

C. FASCHING

Also known as Fastnacht Best described as ‘Bavarian Mardi Gras’, Fasching is much like it’s New Orleans and Brazilian counterparts - a celebration of the excess and to live it up until good catholics go give it up for Lent. Least that’s the intent, but like most modern holidays it’s an excuse to cut loose and have fun, and thanks to a sizable German population in Soliel, there is a bit of Fasching in early march with Beer Gardens, Masked Parties, and Live Bands along with decadently rich desserts from both German and French Cuisine. Have fun, but remember there is a curfew.

D. STORYTIME (text)

Hi everyone! This is the Folklore Club! If we could just take a moment of your time…

Daybreak Academy sure is a big school, isn’t it? And the students and staff here come from all over! Here at the Folklore Club, we research myths, legends and stories from all around the world to examine their similarities and differences.

It would really help us out if you told us what your favourite myth or legend is! Don’t be shy - we’d love to see it! Especially if it’s something that we’ve never seen before! And who knows, maybe you’ll meet someone who loves your favourite story too!

[ The results are, naturally, public. ]

[Maybe not...but it happens. There's a sinking understanding inside even as he keeps himself from rolling his eyes and proclaiming no shit.]

Good job, ghost girl, that's one. [An easy one... What monster doesn't like animals?] Maybe 'they' did okay when thinking about 'extra' classes, then... Are there any you don't really wanna give a fucking shot?

Yeah... [Same Hat on who Wouldn't though, Mav. Animals are great.

She looks across the list however, humming a bit.] Mnh... ...I don't think so...but...

[She points at... ...White Chain's.] ...I'm going to take hers, I think.

...She's nice.

[That's definitely not a word most people use for White Chain right away, but okay.]

[ehhhh...if you say so, reira...]

I hear she's a tough teacher. If you like learning and not causing trouble, you'll probably do okay.

[ Sounds like she already knows angels were a strange, dangerous thing, so he won't remind her of that.]

Yeah.

[Wait.] ....Only the kind of trouble that angels don't like though.

[There, she's covered herself for later tree climbing.]

[...ghost girl]

I'm not here to make your rules or crack down on 'em, dummy. What you do when you're not in my fucking space is none of my business.

[Well good. They can leave things at that then. Reira will just give a simple nod.]
