THE (EVERYTHING) SCHOOL MEME

HOW TO PLAY:
1) Post a comment with your character's name and fandom in the header.
2) Include any preferences or scenarios you'd particularly be interested in exploring.
3) Optional: Include a few starting comments so people responding have something to play off of!
4) Tag around, and get some god damn schooling.
5) Warn if your thread has triggering content! Smut is of course allowed.
6) Use RNG, 1-7 for Role, then 1-12 for School.

The Role.
I. TEACHER You're here to impart your knowledge and wisdom, whatever form that might take.
II. STUDENT An attendee of the school.
III. PRINCIPAL You're in charge of this madhouse. It's going to ruin your reputation, your funding, and your sanity.
IV. ADMINISTRATION/STAFF Secretary? Nurse? Janitor? You're one of the people who keep the school running.
V. ALUMNI You were once a part of this school. Now you're just visiting. Brings back memories, doesn't it?
VI. PARENTS Concerned for your child, or do you just want to dump 'em and get rid of 'em?
VII. ADVISOR Well, you're the babysitter. Congratulations; now you have a squad of students to take care of. Gotta make sure they don't get drunk, hook up, or just spend all night sitting around and crying for their parents.

The School.
I. MILITARY SCHOOL Are you a troublemaker, or is this your family's dream for you? One way or another, you've made it to military school. Be prepared for a rigid schedule, strict appearance guidelines, and a lot of practice standing extremely still.
II. DANCE ACADEMY Prepare to get worked to the bone. After all, there are hundreds of dancers-to-be, and only a handful of slots to make it into the company. You'll be constantly competing, constantly dancing, and constantly working to show yourself above the rest of the crowd.
III. ART/MUSIC SCHOOL At an easel or at a tablet, with an instrument or with your voice, you're here to learn how to pull your creative impulse from inside you and show it to everyone.
IV. MAGIC SCHOOL Whether Hogwarts or an old-school Mage-craft academy, or a necromancer's school or an informal training ground in witchcraft, time for you to learn how to harness that natural magical ability of yours. Better hope you don't run into any disasters along the way.
V. SUPERHERO SCHOOL Sky High? Xavier's Institute for the Gifted? Or are you training in quiet and in secret, honing your supernatural abilities for the purposes of some dark government, some hidden purpose? Better hope you're ready to cop with a roommate who has no control of their powers. And remember to think quietly; we have a lot of psychics in this building.
VI. BOARDING SCHOOL European or American, this is old-school, with bricks and ivy and, possibly, only one gender allowed. Is it family tradition, or did your parents just want to get you the hell out of the house?
VII. 1950S AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL Break out those poodle skirts and let's go to the sock hop! Maybe go on a date with the cutest boy in school. If he has a car, he could take you to the drive-in.
VIII. 1980S AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL Most any teen movie stereotype you can think of originated here, in the '80s. Maybe Breakfast Club-style up a detention, or Ferris Bueller a day off. Maybe just try to survive in the crowd of Freaks and Geeks.
IX. ONE-ROOM SCHOOLHOUSE Out on the prairie, in the middle of nowhere. Every single student in town can fit in one room, and they're all taught by one teacher. Have fun mingling with your range of classmates; you're probably stuck with them for the rest of your life.
X. MONASTERY Education is rare, in days like this. If you want to learn, you have to enter a house of God. Perhaps you've been sent here to keep out of trouble, or as part of a tithe. Perhaps you want to dedicate your life to the pursuit of the divine. In the meantime, the monks or nuns will take their time to educate you, on how to read and write, about history and philosophy.
XI. SPACE SCHOOL Welcome to Starfleet Academy. Or a space academy a la Ender's Game. Or its equivalent. Here, you'll learn about navigation, and physics, and combat against aliens. Xenolinguistics. Survival. Best of luck!
XII. OTHER Anything you can think of!

[Robbie and Wendy don't sit together during mealtimes due to the seating-by-House that has them separated by Slytherin and Ravenclaw, but Robbie always notices when she's missing. It's not that hard to spot her across the room past the sea of black robes, or at least for him; he'd recognize her anywhere. He's still pouty about being sorted into Hufflepuff, more so due to the lack of Hufflepuff-Gryffindor classes and far apart seating arrangements during meals because wow he really likes this Gryffindor lion girl and he just wants to spend more time with her. That said, he was growing frantic when he didn't see her at her House's table all throughout dinner.]

[So figures she was in detention, he just didn't hear her mention it earlier (he's going punch Dipper Pines if he gets sassy about that again), and he'd hidden out by the professor's room until Wendy came out. Luckily for Hufflepuffs and anyone who was their friend, their dormitories were next to the kitchens and the House Elves could be pretty generous with giving students late night snacks. So that's where Robbie and Wendy are, sitting in a deserted hallway that Prefects don't usually wander down on their night patrol, with a small picnic of sorts spread out before them.]

I cannot believe that old hag kept you past dinner. Isn't that some kind of crime or something?

[He takes a drink of his pumpkin juice with some angry gusto to it. He's still irritated at the professor, like, a lot. Not even fried chicken and mashed potatoes can cure him of it.]

It's not like your five or anything, you don't need to go to bed without dinner to "learn your lesson."

[Actual airquotes were used in that sentence. He's very disgruntled by the punishment tactics of this professor, pretty much only because it denied Wendy food. Otherwise he'd probably taunt his friends for having to miss a meal for acting up.]

[Apparently flipping through wizarding celebrity magazines under your desk is against the rules now. And the teachers are pretty intensely bothered by second and third offenses. Enough to make her copy lines for hours while her stomach protests loudly and a lovely hunger headache brews. When Robbie shows up with promises of food the second she's out of her evening hell, she greets him with an enthusiastic hug and fairly sincere praising, he's her hero, et cetera.]

[She's gotten enough food into her that she's feeling better now, and is leisurely (but messily) enjoying a chicken leg.]

's okay, worked out in the end, didn't it?

[She's a little too blissed out from suddenly being full of delicious food to care too much about her original punishment. She'll complain about it the next time they're bitching about this particular professor.]

Granted, the only "lesson" I learned is that my boyfriend kicks ass.

[She wipes the meaty juices off her lips with the back of her hand and leans over to kiss him on the cheek. Shh, she is totally a feminine sexy bombshell and not at all gross.]
