~WELCOME TO BEASTOLOGY~
Inside of the V.A.L. building, there is a hall that leads to the center of the structure. This hall ends at the Fire Elemental Magic classroom, but two new halls split off of it. Upon heading down the right corridor, and past the hall on your left, you will come to another set of double doors. These doors and their handles are made of wood, and seem to be the color of the night sky. Patterned into the surface of these doors are different vines, leaves, and animals.
The area of this building is rather cool for some reason or another. Upon entering the room, you will find yourself in an...odd atmosphere. Then again, what's not at least a little odd about Windsor Academy? In this large room there are four rows of five desks, all spread equally so as to provide comfort for those sitting in the room. This room is even cooler than the hall. The floors are made of dark, smooth carved stone, and are quite chilling to the touch. The walls are also made of the same stone. Vines from outside have actually grown into the inside of the room through the two large, curve-topped windows, one for both sides of the room. Both of these windows are always kept open; a spell is placed on them during rainstorms, and they will also be sealed with a different spell during the winter, to keep the warmth in.
The back of the room is actually curved due to the shape of the building and the fact that it is on the edge. A few shelves line the walls. Upon these shelves are different jars, some bones, and a glass rectangular prism with grasses, sticks, and a small pond of water. In this prism are different kinds of frogs, all of beautiful, exotic colors. As the classroom starts to end, there are a few rows of steps, which curve outward and then inward, almost like a wave of water, and run the length of the room. These steps lead up to a slightly elevated part of the class, where the teacher's desk, about half the length of the platform and curved with the platform's edge, resides. Here, there is another prism, with sticks, a pond, and some grasses. There is a bright green snake within this prism. On the far left (entrance left) of the desk there is a bit of paper, a bottle filled with a green, mushy solid, and a fanged, human-like skull with a candle protruding from a hole in the top. Near the prism there is a large, dragon's skull, though it appears to be a bit small for a dragon. There are also different books on the desk, all appearing very large and old. Some books have also been placed on the shelves.
Despite some of the bones, which appear to have come from creatures one only sees in nightmares, the room has a very comforting aura to it.

Rules And Regulations for Beastology:
Welcome my children, to a place filled with a different, special kind of magic. Here, you will learn the truth about the superstitions, anatomy, beauties, and horrors of the many creatures that share our world with us. I hope that from this class you will learn to appreciate what exists out there so that you can enjoy what resides in the sun-filled groves of our world...and also prepare for what lurks in the shadows as well...
~Number One-You WILL respect both myself and your fellow students. There is absolutely NO harassment, sexual, verbal, or any other in this class.
~Number Two-Please do not speak while I am speaking. If I am not speaking, or teaching a lesson, feel free to talk in a moderate tone amongst yourselves. I am a firm believer in communication, but I also know that there is a time and place for everything. If you have any questions, just raise your hand and I will try to call on you.
~Number Three-On rare occasions, you will be allowed to learn with your sense of taste. Do NOT ingest anything unless I give you permission to do so.
~Number Four-Do NOT handle any creatures, bottles, or bones within this room unless I give you permission to do so.
~Number Five-Because my class will be held at night, and some of you MAY be hungry, I will allow you to bring in a bit of food of your choosing. Do not bring in an entire meal. You may also bring water. This is a PRIVELEDGE, and if you abuse it, I will take it from you.
~Number Six-Do not use the back door behind my desk unless I am taking the class outside. Trips to the outside of class are also a PRIVILEDGE, and I will take them from you should you abuse that priviledge.
~Number Seven-When and if we dissect (I still have to get a hold of some specimens for us), there will be no jabbing, poking, or playing around with the dissection tools. I want to teach you guys many things about the animals in our world, but if you decide to display ignorance during one of our dissection sessions, I will no longer hold them.
~Number Eight-Continuing with dissection, you are NOT to dissect until I give you permission to do so. When you do dissect, do not purposely mutilate the bodies. Dissection is for learning purposes, not for you to play sick little games with a corpse. When I end a dissection session, you are to put ALL tools down, regardless of where you are at. Also, do not be an idiot and eat food when we are dissecting.
I hope you will enjoy this class. There is a lot you can learn, and a lot you can do. This class can be very fun, but it can be hard if you force me to make it so. I have a feeling I won't need to do that though. I look forward to sharing my knowledge with all of you.
