The worst part about being in the orzhov is the misconception that we get to keep the money. No fuckface, that shit goes into the church, which is then redistributed through businesses, salaries, and bonuses.
“Oh look at this hoity toity tax collector scum”
JOKES ON YOU
WE DONT GET TO KEEP THE MONEY
FOR ALL YOUR GUILDLESS ASS KNOWS, WE COULD BE MAKING THE SAME FUCKIN WAGE
I have seen your lifestyle. we are not.
Thus far, class has been going as smoothly as I can ask for. no oriq attacks just yet, and we've gotten through the known signatories of the guildpact, its basic premise, and touched on the environment that lead to it.
also one of my students has a familiar who is just the biggest, most rotund toad I have ever seen. they let me hold him. It was magical. he was so calm and polite.
Everything went reasonably well. It'll take me some time to put names to faces, but that's nothing new. the kids were nice enough, and nobody tried to kill anyone.
class was boring, standard first day fare, but I'm excited to see how this goes forward. I'm probably going to end up posting less because of this, I can't imagine such mundane things would make for fun reading. So I suppose I'll see you all again when something exciting happens.
First classes tomorrow. I'm about as ready as I can be. Wish me luck.
Today we've received more Oriq threats, and two students were found dead. it feels like it's less a question of *if* something happens, but *when*. Considering the situation the deans have agreed that we are going to be following heightened security protocols. This is already immensely stressful, but it doesn't *quite* end there While I am not allowed to go into detail on the protocols, nor would I if I were, I can tell you that teachers are grouped up to make sure nobody is ever isolated. I got grouped up with the skeleton guy... if there is some grand entity who guides the whims of fate, I'm going to punch them in the nose.
If there’s some grand entity that guides the whims of fate, we knew they were a prick sometime after the second invasion.
Be careful. I know we had our fight not too long ago, but I don’t want another Oriq punk to hurt a friend.
I know where you were coming from. Don't worry about it too much. I can take care of myself. if we can find a meetup, I'd like to give a proper apology for what I said as well.

I just walked in on a fellow teacher doing a slow dance with one of his display skeletons. I'm not one to judge, but the several seconds of awkward eye contact backed by smooth jazz has taken years off of my life. I sincerely hope that we are able to avoid each other for the forseeable future.
It wasn't a replica skeleton either. It was a bona-fide human skeleton.

Today was mostly making sure I understood what is expected from me as well as the expected speeches and otherwise helping to make sure we transition smoothly into our new positions. my superiors seem competent, if eccentric, and my coworkers, for the most part, actually care about their jobs. I'd call it a pretty great day so far. Boring is bliss.
tonight, i'll probably just shop for some extra supplies and decorations for my classroom. if I'm quick, I might even be able to go out and get to know my new coworkers a little better.
Got into my new lodgings, things are unpacked, some of my new coworkers were even kind enough to buy me dinner. seem like good people. one thing I didn't expect is that the mana of the plane just feels different. it doesn't want to mix, it wants to oppose itself and find a balance point. it's pretty weird, but it shouldn't take too long to get used to. maybe some minor adjustments to a spell or 2 to improve the efficiency. I'll keep it light, but there's a massive headache brewing rn, so it appears that my luck *has* followed me.
Just getting packed for the move today. it's terrifying in a way. for the first time in my life I'm not going to be in Ravnica. as much as I love to bitch and moan about the city, I love this place, it's my home. I want it to get better, I want to see the best in it. my family loved Ravnica too, they were willing to kill and die for what they believed would lead to a better Ravnica. but ultimately this is temporary. I'll eventually come back with more zinos too my name, more experiences under my belt, and probably a few more greying hairs if my luck is to persist. doesn't help that having to dig through my stuff has managed to dredge up a lot of old memories. most of em were kinda awful, but they still make it that much harder to go.
Got some mail a few days ago, one of the real fancy wax sealed envelopes the Orzhov types like to use, paper was perfumed too! It says I've been offered a trial position at Strixhaven, they want to start offering courses on interplanar history, and it seems like somehow my resume got mixed in with the actual Ravnican history experts! Alternatively, pickings are slimmer than I had previously assumed. I need to verify, but if this is real it's the opportunity of a lifetime for me. If the exchange tables are accurate it'd nearly double my current salary, not to mention that they're offering on campus lodging, plus a bit of funding I can use for necessary materials and moving expenses. I sent a letter up to Strixhaven so that they can verify whether or not they sent me any offers. I'll temper my expectations, but I can't help but hope this is real.
Strixhaven got back to me. it's real, I had to check several times to see if I was dreaming, but it's still here. I've sent in my acceptance, and now I guess I've got to get packed away.
I'll put up another post once I can calm down.

Im not convinced the guildless exist. You mean to tell me over half the *plane of guilds* isn't *the guilds*? Seems like a pr stunt. By MY estimates, the guildless are only 5% of the population.
evidently, your estimates are faulty. if somehow you genuinely hold this position, I highly recommend leaving your guilds stronghold for once in your life.
if a job isn't done by the guilds, it's done by the guildless, couriers, cooks, janitors, street sweepers, teachers, salespeople, cobblers, tailors, cartographers, and chandlers, just to name a few off the top of my head.
i'm not even going to touch the conspiracy theory that it's some form of "pr stunt" i'm not even sure who'd gain what off of that.
Underthegates ... What gates?
The guildgates! UnderTheGates specifically is a reference to how even those unaffiliated with the ten guilds all still live under their rule in a society made by and for the guilds.
Young Love.
Hopefully this isn’t a hot take. As a black citizen of the usa, ive always had mixed feelings on juneteenth. Yes its a beautiful celebration, but I’ve been unable to shake a feeling of resentment towards the fact that my community will always be inexorably linked to a great evil inflicted upon ussss.
