Question 4

[Edgedancer he/him]

A public high school in an affluent area, with more wealthy and upper-middle class parents and well-off businesses. These schools usually have better materials, their libraries have better technology, and some of them are considered college prep (as in, a large number of graduates enroll in college soon after, and their coursework is specifically tailored toward helping students do better in college and university courses). The most obvious difference between a low-income school (like the one I worked at) and a more affluent school (like the one I went to) is that the computers in the school I worked at were Windows that were maybe a year or two from being completely out of date, and the computers at my high school were Macs. (Not fair at all, in my opinion, but that's another story.) 

 

Voidgaze's house? 

Hmmm Voidgaze is neither the type for religious schools nor for private ones, so I guess that leaves the public one. (In case you need an evil liebrarian you might want to cast Lucentia for the private school.)

 

Yup.

evil liebrarian

Not sure if typo or very good pun.

On monday I read the entirety of Alcatraz 3 in one go. It´s not a typo.

Yup.

 

Cliffside Public School it is. Lucentia will not be hired by any of these schools. The principals took pains to hire librarians who cared about their students, and each principal gave his or her blessing when the federation (called the Ocean City Educational Librarian's Guild) was formed. The second Lucentia sat down for the interview and started to complain about the principal's tie or the long drive there, he would say, "Oops, would you look at that, we're out of time. Good luck on your job search, Ms. Jaeger, and if you need anything from me, please hesitate to ask."

"Voidgaze you got a job!"

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

"Voidgaze you got a job!"

 

Her reaction.

[Edgedancer he/him]

Her reaction.

She would probably be better suited for the job if she ever went to a high school before.

Yes, that might be helpful. Especially since I can't think of a single library in the US that doesn't require librarians to have a Master's degree.  

 

Then again, this is an alternate universe where Sam is old enough to have finished grad school and worked for a public high school for five years after that. And one where Purple Phoenix became a high school principal instead of a scientist.

"Voidgaze, you also get to go to school in a alternate universe!"

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

"Voidgaze, you also get to go to school in a alternate universe!"

 

I'm using this alternate universe as a chance to be nice to all the nice characters here. (If I could, I'd fit something in about a feisty young athlete named Rachel single-handedly restraining the notorious criminal Michael Jager, preventing him from harming an entire bus full of children as the driver called the police. When they arrived, Jager put up a fight, and was killed by an officer on duty.) 

[Kobold King he/him]

Her reaction.

 

I'm still waiting for Voidgaze to gain The Stare as an additional power.

"Your paper is good... however, I'm unsure why you wrote the phrase 'And then Nighthound died' every paragraph or so."

 

"Oh, uh, sorry. Sort of a habit of mine."

 

"Well, I'm going to have to mark you down for it."

 

"With all due respect, professor, I think you don't understand the importance of that phrase. I'm going to have to ask you to read a few choice paragraphs from a forum RP before you rank my work."

And then TwiLyghtSansSparkles got one million extra credit points for "exhibiting a deep understanding of the largest threat to the future of any school library, fictional or otherwise, and determining a sound strategy for eliminating said threat."

If you came up with a scenario in which library science actually brings about Nighthound's death, they'd have no choice but to grant you an honorary diploma on the spot.

I shall end this thread with a quote from the Doctor: 

 

 

You want weapons? We're in a library. Books! The greatest weapon in the world. This room's the greatest arsenal we could have! Arm yourself!

 

There has to be something in somebody's collection that tells how to defeat Nighthound. (Or, if all else fails, we could always clock him over the head with a computer. )
