Zinnia glared at the boy as he took his seat. She looked towards Pandora then at her hands. “This isn’t fair,” she wanted to scream. Why should her grade be dependent upon this ov…
@dandylion240 and I have a new chapter available for “The Academy.” Essentially, we decided it’d be best to cancel the BC we had planned for Pandora with the teachers and focus on the students so that we can move further along with our legacies.
Anyway, enjoy!
Ellery Cross, Ivy Cross and Talon Bennett were made by @dandylion240. Sonny Mcleod and Drew McLeod were made by @phyrcracker93.
The woman pushed passed Angelo and stood at the front of the class. “I’m your teacher, Miss Gray. You can call me, Pandora. I don’t much care for formalities. Truth is, I haven’t been called Miss Gray in years. Now let’s see. You, Ellery right? I don’t much care for smart mouths in my classroom.”
The room grew silent. This was the one who was her mother’s aunt, Zinnia realized. Pandora Gray. She studied under a man who knew almost as much about time travel as Emit Relevart, the time keeper himself. She meant serious business.
Pandora approached Ellery’s desk. “Mr. Williams doesn’t know as much as I do. In fact, he knows nothing about time travel at all, so direct your most difficult questions to me.” Angeo shrunk back under her harsh gaze. “Two, I don’t care how much you think you may know. This goes for your sister too in the back, I am the teacher. If you feel like I don’t have valuable information to teach then please come up here and save me some effort. I’ll still get paid regardless and it’s less work for me.”
Zinnia heard Sonny gasp. The girl covered her mouth. Zinnia felt the same way. Woah, Pandora was not one to mess with. But Ellery wasn’t the type to get flustered. He stood up and approached the front of the classroom much to his sister’s dismay. “What do you want to know about time travel. Any questions?”
Drew’s hand shot up and Zinnia shrunk down in her seat. This wasn’t going to be good. “Is it true that by just touching in the past you could change the future?”
Ellery approached the board and began writing things down. “Well, you see. There’s this thing called a continuum…”
Ellery grinned at Zinnia taking the empty desk beside her while his sister walked past towards the back. While she was taking a seat the door opened and Talon walked in. His hair was a mess like he hadn’t taken the time to comb through it yet. He glanced around the room before slumping into a nearby chair close to the door.
Ivy covered her mouth to hide the grin that threatened to show her amusement. She sensed the last thing the boy wanted was anymore attention to be directed at him. She looked up in time to see Audric give the boy a stern look but to her relief he didn’t say anything. He just turned nodding once to the teacher and left the room. Glancing at the clock she realized the boy really wasn’t late, just on time barely.
When the room was silent the teacher addressed the class. “I’m Angelo Williams, I’m Miss Gray’s aid. Before we get into the nitty gritty of time travel does anyone have any questions?”
Ellery raised his hand. “Go ahead,” Mr Williams pointed at the red head.
“Can someone who knows how to travel between dimensions also know how to time travel?” he raised an eyebrow hoping to challenge his new teacher. He was sure regardless of the answer he knew more than he did. He was encouraged by the sound of his sister’s giggle from the back of the room.
“Well we won’t be getting into dimension travel in this class,” Mr. Williams said, skirting the question as his eyes scanned the room for any other hands.
Angelo was shocked and had no idea what to do. He walked away from the front, choosing to stand to the side away from Pandora’s peripheral. Pandora smirked and sat down by Zinnia’s desk, much to the girls’ chagrin. This kid had guts and he did know what he was talking about.
Ellery expertly explained the answer to Drew’s question and then dropped his dry erase board marker as if it was a mic and he had just won the biggest rap battle of his life. The other students looked on in awe, as Pandora kicked her feet up on Zinnia’s desk.
“If you don’t get 100s on all of your tests,” Pandora said, “I’m going to deduct points from the whole class’ average. Since, you know all about time travel.”
“W-ait!” Zinnia cried. “So you’re saying that I could fail because of him!”
Pandora nodded. “Yupp. It’s called teamwork. Lesson number one. All for one and one for all. Of course you all have to study so that if he does get deductions you won’t outright fail.”
“You have nothing to worry about,” Ellery told Zinnia with a wink. “I’ll ace every single test she puts in front of me.”
Newest group shot of some of the administration of The Academy for Young Travelers.
I’m still waiting on some teachers, but I figure we can introduce everyone I’ve gotten so far in the story, and then do the actual BC scoring when O receive everyone. Grace is the only one up there (besides Audric) who isn’t in Pandora’s BC.
The updated cast shot for mine and @dandylion240‘s latest collab story. We’re still looking for a science and a geography teacher for anyone who wants to send a sim in ;) A list of who’s who below the cut.
Pictured:
Clay Collins the RA for the male dorms and body language teacher made by @dandylion240.
Audric Brainard, the dean of the school.
Ellery Cross, a student and son of my sim Quinn and dandylion’s sim Phoenix.
Chance Hatfield, a student by dandylion240
Ivy Cross, twin sister of Ellery.
Zinnia Gray/Brainard, Audric’s daughter and student at the Academy.
Sonny McLeod, a student made by @phyrcracker93.
Talon Bennett, a student made by dandylion240.
Pandora Gray, teaches time traveler and is the RA of the female dorms.
Adriel Patton, a ghost that’s haunting the Academy...
I’m looking for sims once again! I have decided to collab on this with @dandylion240 as the school affects both of our dimensions.
If you recall, I posted a drabble a while back with Pandora, which you can read here. Being a time traveler, she’s stopped aging. Her own daughter is much older than she is now and Allen is an elder, if not dead. She is lonely... That’s where YOU come in. Debbie and I are looking for teachers to teach alongside Pandora and others. Teachers don’t have to have a romance arc with Pandora, but if you’re interested in that aspect please read some of the rules below. [You’ll only need to send the sim to me btw, but Debbie will be writing for your characters as well. This is not a full BC, but characters in the story can fight it out to win Pandora’s heart if you so wish it]
Pandora Gray is a sim from the main branch of the Grays born to Apollo and Ethan. She is a time traveler who has worked closely with both Mason and Emit. She will be working with Audric as a teacher in his new school to teach young and viable individuals to be travelers.
Your sims must be one of these: (message me to reserve the one you want, these will be first come first serve basis)
I’m looking for sims who are the best at what they do. So, if your sim is the athletics coach they have to have shown incredible progress in that field somehow or another. Audric will be picking unknowing subjects from all over his dimension and others to be part of his program. Each sim will have been approached by Audric and have accepted the offer, so tell me what they’re leaving behind if anything. What was their life like before becoming a teacher for the dimension school? . Keep in mind: your sim will be teaching a bunch of teenagers their assigned subject matter! There will be scenes where they are interacting with students. [They don’t have to be a teacher of any kind in their regular lives! Pandora has a child of her own, so if you want your sim to have children back in their dimension, that’s totally ok]
Requirements:
Male Sims only to be eligible for Pandora’s heart. (If you want your sim to simply be part of the story, you can have any extra spots for female sims to break it up a bit)
Berry, Banilla or Vanilla welcome.
Supernaturals, real or made up are welcome.
NO SLIDERS. Please no slider sims. They act wonky in my game, and don’t come out looking right.
CC is cool. Don’t overdo it though, my game is slow as it is lol
Futuristic attire like Pandora is not required, but very cool. Keep it to your sim’s personality. Dress all outfits, because they’ll be living in the “dorms”
I have all EPs, Sweet Treats, HELS, Town Stuff, 70s 80s 90s and all worlds.
Other stuff: Teachers wishing for Pandora’s heart will get a spouse vote. As always, get creative with your sims!
Class Photo! I won’t be doing a scene from this arc yet, because it’s a bit spoilery. But, do enjoy the pic ;)
Ellery and Ivy are the children of my sim Quinn and @dandylion240′s Phoenix. Drew and Sonny McLeod were made by @phyrcracker93. Talon was made by @dandylion240.
