[Today, for the first time since your arrival, dark and angry clouds gather in the sky above to block out the sun. It is sweltering outside, so when those clouds eventually open up in the early afternoon, showering everyone with cool rain, rolling thunder, and a few flashes of lightning. . . it probably feels good!]

[It seems to be normal rain, for the most part. Look at it from the wrong angle and some if it may seem to be tinted red, like blood. And sometimes, when a drop spatters against the ground, a spider lily suddenly blossoms in its place. The flower dies almost immediately upon springing to life, its petals dissolving into dust that is quickly washed away by the rest of the water]

[. . . things have been awfully quiet since your arrival. It feels almost a bit like the calm before the storm, doesn't it? Are you still waiting for that other shoe to drop. . .?]

[What else are you up to today!]

Never said I blamed them.

[She also gives off the energy of someone who's not particularly good at standing still. It's easy to imagine her covering the full length of the clasroom with her lectures.

A writing desk is just about the only thing that can keep Raven down.

Are you calling out my methods? Well, what's the leap?

That the mere presence of a school would compel such children to it, rather than repel.

[Unless he has a very wrong impression of children in general, which. He's probably sure he does not. He was one, once. Probably.]

Children don't have a lot of self-control, and they have a lot of curiosity. They get told they'll never be anything special or that they'll never make it to the lap of luxury if they can't read, if they can't do their numbers. Give them the chance, and they run right in.

[She shrugs. It's hard to even know what to hate about school if you've never been. Some of the Syndicate children would probably embrace the routine and the safe place to sit, even if they didn't care much about the material.]

Now, keeping them there...

[She'd never put up a spooky fear barrier forest and close off all the exits, but, she's just saying.]

[Maybe just close off all the exits?]

In which case, perhaps responsibility falls solely and unfairly into the lap of the instructors. To keep their minds stimulated and their attention spans from wandering. To be charming, compelling, and just stern enough. A high order for most.
