for clarification, yes, I'm apping her as a ghost

[There is a tall, possessed suit of armor standing in the pool area today.

Zelda can't recall exactly why she agreed to teach this class. In fact, she's quite sure that children her age aren't normally allowed to teach anything at the academy. She does know it had something to do with boredom. After all, back home she didn't have anything like summer break; lessons with her teacher were a daily occurrence, and quite necessary at that. Perhaps she was just seeking some familiarity.

With one last doleful glance at the class-describing banner adorning the wall (proudly reading WATER AEROBICS in HEAVY ARMOR), she's thinking next time she'll kick familiarity to the curb and give this school's unnervingly high-tech library another shot.

Now then, why did you sign up for this nonsense? Genuine desire to learn? Morbid curiosity? Lost a bet? Your friends played a prank on you?

...Drunk at the time, perhaps?


Regardless, you're stuck with it now. Best get your gear on and get in the water before you get in trouble.]

((ooc: Since the purpose of this post is to gain believable app samples despite the fact that it's total crack, feel free to say your character is already an acquaintance/friend/enemy of Zelda's, or they can be complete strangers. Whatever is more fun for you! That's... that's not cheating, right?))

[Water aerobics. Okay, Phoenix was game for that. He needed something to occupy his time now that the summer was here and his badge was gone.

Unfortunately, Phoenix had obviously neglected to read the entire title of the class. Oh. Now he knew. That banner obviously told him and... there was a person wearing a giant suit of armor. Okay.]

Er... I think I signed up for the wrong class.

[trainedprincess]

[Said suit of armor helpfully traipses over, and-- is that a little girl's voice coming out of there?]

Ah, we've had a few of you already today! Did you mean to sign up for Shark Wrestling in Heavy Armor? That class was rescheduled for next week; they were having a bit of trouble catching the sharks...

[thewrightidea]

N-no. I didn't sign up for that either.

[Oh god. What had he gotten himself into? He was completely dumbfounded by the small, feminine voice that came out of the large armor, and... why would anyone want to learn water aerobics in armor? Especially while fighting sharks.]

I, uh... I thought I signed up for a class that had no armor.

[trainedprincess]

[She feels bad for him, really. He doesn't look like the type that could handle a light chainmail vest, let alone the twenty-odd pound iron plates scattered around the pool area.]

I'm afraid you'll have to make do. Wearing heavy armor is a required part of the course; I can't give you a passing grade without it.

[thewrightidea]

[Phoenix has zero experience with battle and zero experience with armor.]

...Passing grade? Wait, I thought this was a summer class with no grades. I'm an instructor.

[Wait that's not even the point, Phoenix.]

I mean, uh, I don't think I can really take this class...

[trainedprincess]

[Wait wait, do summer classes not have grades?]

That's odd. When I offered to help teach this course, I was informed I would be grading you all on your effort. But... I am new here, it's possible I was lied to. [Ooohh, that doesn't settle well with her. >:| ]

Unfortunately, I'm just a volunteer, so I lack the authority to take you out of the course on my own. Though... if you're an instructor, you might be able to remove yourself.
