Where did this even come from??? I have no idea. I just love all my little teachers so much! Also, for any of you making faces at your screen trying to figure out what I'm talking about, this has to do with the Griffenfeather School for the Determined RP, which you are still welcome to join, especially since it would be super to have an intern/assistant helping with the classes and being kind of the go-between with the students and teachers, because their drama seems kind of seperate. ANYWAY, I did not post these on the RP thread because they would totally take away from the seriousness.
Only read on if you want to know the true extent of my immaturity.

GSD groupchat. Winston added Sasha and Adrian.
Winston: We need superhero names. Throw some ideas out there. Actually, let me do the throwing ;)
Sasha: Something is telling me this is a bad idea.
Adrian: Funny, I'm having quite the opposite feeling.
Winston: Ughhhhh "William Tell theArrow" is too long.
Adrian: "TheArrow?"
Sasha: Don't encourage it.
Adrian: Sasha, what about you call yourself; "Double Dare Dexterity," or 3D. Get it? Cuz you see everything in 3D?
Sasha: No.
Sasha: Not anymore.
Winston: HAWKEY
Adrian: Taken
~Sasha changed her name to 3D~
3D: Will you nerds please let me finish my paperwork? We have a school to restart. Besides, Adrian, shouldn't you be working on your "Element Game" idea?
Adrian: Waiting for jets to cool.
3D: Jets? For the lava fountain you claim will be so brilliant?
Adrian: No. Winston's jets.
3D: Boys! NO more horseplay.
Adrian: This was cat play.
Winston: THIS WAS MURDER AND BETRAYAL
Winston: He put a cat in my room.
3D: The cats are going if we ever have students. Got it? Someone might be allergic.
Adrian: I can't help it. They follow me.
Winston: ARROW!
3D: ?
Adrian: You mean like "Green Arrow?" Taken.
3D: are you still stuck on that silly superhero name idea?
Winton: Well, you changed your name. Why don't I get a cool name, too?
Adrian: Wait. I've got a cool name.
Winston: FOR MEEE????
Adrian: No, me.
Adrian: Electroclaw. Get it? Because I like cats...and electronics?
Winston: That's so nerdy.
Adrian: Says the kid who graduated college at 15.
Winston: I CAN'T HELP THAT I'M TOO SMART FOR MY OWN BRIAN
~Adrian changed his name to Electroclaw~
Electroclaw: You spelled brain wrong.
Winston: That just proves my point! Too smart for humanity! Too smart for the laws of English!
Winston: Besides. Sasha is nerdier. She graduated college at 14.
3D: 13. I was homeschooled.
3D: Winston. Go help Adrian with his element game.
3D: No cats.
Winston: :(
Winston: Oh wait, can I have my own section? Like in the basement? It would be all sand, and we could build giant sandcastles and forts and have nerf war battles!
Electroclaw: Ummm. We're working on the lava fountain. It's for training. You can't do that.
Winston: Yes I can ;)
Electroclaw: Why???
Winston: Because I'm...
Electroclaw: Urghhh. Let me guess, to smart for you own; "brian?"
Winston: BATMAN
Electroclaw: Taken.
~ Texts between Winston and Sasha~
Sasha: I'm worried about opening the school.
Winston: Don't be. It's going to be awesome! We'll have our own little superhero training camp, RIGHT HERE!
Winston: And it won't be anything like...the last one, if that's what your worried about. No stealing powers. No using the students. We'll just be GIVING. No taking, kay?
Sasha: Thanks. Sometimes you are too smart for you own "brian"
~Texts between Adrian and Winston~
Winston: IT WAS A CAT. IN MY CLOSET. AND IT SCRATCHED ME.
Electroclaw: Let's all cheer for Winston's powers of perception! What gave away the fact it was a cat? The fur? The pur? Or was it...duh, duh, duh! THE CLAWS?
Winston: Cats just don't like me. I feel like I would be better off with a raving mad Hippogriff or a rampaging Professor Snape.
Electroclaw: Snape, Snape, Severus Snape...
Winston: DUMBLEDOOR!
~Back to the groupchat, several months later~
LizztheWhiz was add to the chat.
Electroclaw: Oh look! Lizzy already has a superhero name!
Electroclaw: Now we can tease Winston for being the odd one out!
LizztheWhiz: My apologies for this inexcusible tardiness. I promise I will be present in the next 20 minutes! You cannot fathom how deeply exuberated I am to be a part of this agglomeration!
3D: We are so grateful that you agreed to be a part of our staff! I assure you GSD will not disappoint!
Winston: What does agglomeration mean?
Electroclaw: Sez the nerd.
Winston: I AM NOT A NERD!
~More texts between Winston and Sasha~
Sasha: I admit I was very impressed with the letter you cobbled together to send to the future Aim students! Some sections I particularly liked were: "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live," "It is our choices that show us who we are, far more than our abilities," "words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic." Really Winston, when did you learn the word: "inexhaustible?" Sometimes I feel that you are not living up to your potential at this school! I admit that I had my doubts about letting you teach, but those have all disappeared!
Winston: Yeah! I am smart (obviously), just not a nerd.
~MORE texts betwween Adrian and Winston~
Electroclaw: WHAT did you put in your Aim letter? Sasha is amazed. TELL ME YOUR SECRETS.
Winston: Oh that's not the real letter. She only THINKS it is. That's just the collection of Harry Potter quotes I gave her. The real letter isn't JK Rowling, but it's much better.
Winston: What does inexhausible mean?
Electroclaw: Oh good. That was fake. I thought you had been bitten by a radioactive dictionary.
~
Okay. I did it. Now you can see the true extent of my inexhaustible immaturity. If you would like me to do more, I can. If anything is confuzzling, read the RP.

Wow! I have not read the RP but this is funny! "Rampaging Proffessor Snape" put a really awful image in my head--eeek.
(August 17, 2017 - 11:54 am)
Top! Poke this thread to the TOP!
(August 17, 2017 - 11:56 am)
thanks Leafpool! I'm going to make more later, when I post on the rp. If you'd like to join (took back a few pages for the jointing survey, which is on a different thread than the rp), it would be cool to have another teacher that is not played by me, or an intern.
(August 17, 2017 - 3:29 pm)
Wow! That was a lot of fun to read! Your RP sounds awesome! I'm going to have to find it and read it! Too bad it is too late to join :/
(August 17, 2017 - 4:53 pm)
So yeah, that was me, and the RP is still open. You just need to take the survey on another GSD thread a few pages back before joining.
(August 17, 2017 - 7:24 pm)
I filled out the survey and am reading the RP...if you still want me. Now what? xD
(August 18, 2017 - 1:18 pm)
More messages! I don't even know why I'm doing this, but it's so fun!
~Group text~
3D: Well, it's official. I'm going to send out an application for a student intern to assist with teaching this year.
Electroclaw: We have like 2 weeks before school starts.
3D: I'm convinced I can get someone to fufill the position. Most heroes are loner prodigies looking for something more to do with their talents. Many would jump at the chance to work at this school.
Electroclaw: Well...it does have quite a reputation...and I don't mean a good one...
3D: That is all in the past.
3D: Where's Winston? Isn't he usually wasting time texting at this hour of the day? He should write a note to go with the application. Something inspiring, like his letter.
Electroclaw: Ummm...I think he's in his dorm. I'll go threaten him with cats get him
~Texts between Adrian and Winston~
Winston: HIDE ME SHE'S COMING
Winston: Nice going, catboy.
Electroclaw: I did absolutely nothing.
Winston: But still, you couldn't have possibly been more tactless! "I don't mean a good one..." DUDE!
Electroclaw: Since when have you had reputable tact?
Winston: Dare I ask what reputable means?
Electroclaw: How did you even SURVIVE college???
Winston: I fell off a cliff and landed in a haystack and got pricked by a needle that Robin was supposed to find as part of his training. I haven't been the same ever since.
Electroclaw: ....
Electroclaw: What are you going to write for that note Sasha wants you to include in her application letter? You can't just quote Harry Potter again.
Winston: OH DASHBOARDS YOU'RE RIGHT
Winston: Can I quote Rick Riordan
Electroclaw: I see you didn't make that a question. This could be interesting...
More later! Sorry, I have walking pnemonia (which basically means I don't have a fever, so I can continue going to school, etc., but my lungs are struggling) and am being forced to go to bed early.
(August 17, 2017 - 7:48 pm)
Oh, I hope you get better soon!
(August 18, 2017 - 12:39 pm)
My charrie would jump at that application, iffn' you're interested. xD
I hope you feel better soon!! <3
(August 18, 2017 - 1:22 pm)
Aw, Rosey, I'm so sorry. I hope you feel better soon :)
(August 19, 2017 - 1:03 pm)
Awww, thanks everyone :) y'all are so sweet. I'm feeling much better now.
EVEN MORE texts between Winston and Adrian~
Winston: So I wrote the little note. It says, "Remember, a kind act can sometimes be as powerful as a sword. So come teach at GSD. I'm not telling you it's going to be easy, I'm telling you it's going to be worth it."
Electroclaw: I'm calling the copyright police.
Winston: Do it quietly so Sasha won't know.
Electroclaw: I'm callign the copyright police QUIETLY
Texts between Lizzy and Sasha~
3D: It's so nice having another woman around here! I've been stuck with Winston for years, then Adrian came along, and those two scheme at nothing but trouble!
LizzTheWhiz: I am sure we will form and brilliant aggregation together! This school is on a voyage for art. I'm certain it will ascend our highest expectations!
LizztheWhiz: And if you ever are in need of a friend, I will always be precisely where you need me!
3D: Thanks a lot, Lizzy.
3D: I don't know if I've told anyone this before, but Winston and i attended this school when it was under different leadership. Things didn't go so well, and unfortunetly I believe that all the old students were left with scars. Many of us retained some of our abilities, but lost much of which classifies us as "Heroes." What an ironic term. None of us were ever meant to be heroes. But that's what we were called. It took me almost year to completely recover, and I immediately began plans to rebuild and repurpose GSD. It was very difficult for me. You see...I no longer have my abilities. That's why this school is so important to me. I can't let it continue to be the nightmare of the past. I want it to become the dream of the future.
LizztheWhiz: Much gratitude for telling me, Sasha. I only new a small percentage of this story beforehand. Why don't you come to my appartment? I'm steeping some tea, and there are cookies in the oven. Texts are such impersonal modes of communicating, and I'd much prefer you tell me everything again over the table.
3D: I'm at your door.
~texts between Sasha and Adrian~
Electroclaw: Sasha, please tell Winston that building giant sandcastles is NOT a worthy training exercise!
3D: What's this about?
Electroclaw: He wants to build a desert. In the basement.
3D: Is it possible?
Electroclaw: Ummm, yeah. I just need a mound of sand and some space to build a control room. The connected control system would be a breeze. In fact, I already have the parts necesary.
3D: Then build it. We should have a desert site for your game. Just make sure Winston doesn't REALLY make giant sandcastles. Of all the silly things to say.
3D: He was joking, right?
3D: Adrian?
Group text~
Electroclaw: We're going to have a disco party in the auditorium to celebrate the opening. Everyone's invited.
LizzTheWiz: I will most assuredly be there!
Sasha: Strobe lights make me sick. Count me out.
Electroclaw: AWww, come on. I'm inviting some friends.
Sasha: Then I DEFINITELY will not be there.
Electroclaw: Winston?
Winston: You called?
Electroclaw: Are you coming?
Winston: SERIOUSLY? I AM A WARRIOR AND AND ASSASIN. I. DON'T. DANCE.
Electroclaw: I take it you're coming, then.
LizztheWiz: I will bring cupcakes.
Winston: THE CUPCAKES ARE POISONED
EVEN MORE AND MORE TEXTS BETWEEN WINSTON AND ADRIAN~
Electroclaw: Someone actually applied for the internship!
Winston: Hmm. Must be a Percy Jackson lover. DOWN WITH DEMIGODS! VOLDEMORT RULES!
Electroclaw: Most normal Harry Potter fans wouldn't be on Voldemort's side...
Winston: I am NOT most normal Harry Potter fans.
(August 19, 2017 - 7:10 pm)
These are funny! So, I already posted on the actual RP thread, but... can I stilll join?
(August 19, 2017 - 8:42 pm)
~More texts between Adrian and Winston, because they make QE laugh so hard that she looks like she might fall out of her chair. Since I enjoy that spectacle, here are some more~
Electroclaw: Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, Sir?
Winston: ??????????
Electroclaw: Oh see, I've been looking everywhere for you, and I know you're an orphan. Well guess what? I'M AN ORPHAN TOO! WE CAN BE ORPHAN BUDDIES!!!!
Winston: Ummm...
Electroclaw: Gee, I wish there was a war!
Winston: YES! LET'S START A WAR! MEET YOU IN THE DESERT IN TEN MINUTES. BRING YOUR NERF GUN.
Electroclaw: HE SPEAKS!
Group Text~
LizztheWiz: Have any of you laid eyes on Sasha today? I have not been with her since yesterday.
Winston: She has a headache.
Electroclaw: Voldemort must be close.
Winston: No way. My sneakoscope would have picked him up.
LizztheWhiz: I'm sorry, but I do not understand. Who is Voldemort?
Winston: That is a loooooong story.
Electroclaw: Like, 7 book long story.
More random texts between Winston and Adrian:
Electroclaw: You sounded pretty clueless on the phone. Are you sure this will work out? Your siblings could seriously kill me if they found out I took it.
Winston: Don't worry! I have a plan!
Electroclaw: (p+l) (a+n) = pa+pn+la+ln yeah, well I just foiled your plan.
Winston: THAT IS NOT HELPING
Texts between Sasha and Adrian~
Sasha: Okay boys, let me get this straight. You are telling me that this "Elemental game" is a super dangerous and risky way for the students to start working as a team based entirely on technologically harnessed natural energy?
Electroclaw: Basically.
Sasha: And you haven't tested it out?
Electroclaw: Ummm...be right back...but, yes, I have a plan.
Group text~
Electroclaw: ALL TEACHERS ARE INVITED TO THE TESTING OF ELEMENTAL QUEST. Wear non-flammable clothes. No pet Hippogriffs aloud. THAT IS CHEATING.
Back to texts between Sasha and Adrian:
Electroclaw: Forgot to tell you that I already invited all the teachers to test out the game: We'll be playing against each other. See, isn't that genious?
Sasha: You sent that invitation text AFTER I reminded you about that game.
Electroclaw: NOT TRUE! I BUILT A TIME TRAVELING DEVICE!
Sasha: And how did you do that after I cut the budget for all future electronic inventions?
Electroclaw: The Magic Schoolbus.
(August 24, 2017 - 4:09 pm)
I think those might be the funniest yet, especially "Are you Aaron Burr, sir?" I'm still laughing. Here's a slightly less funny one:
Texting between Adrian and Myra:
Adrian: So you're coming today?
Myra: When else would I be coming?
Adrian: Sigh.
Myra: Yes, I plan to get there soon before the students. Is there anything I need to know?
Adrian: Do you have electronics with you?
Myra: Yes, I have my phone,
Myra: and my decoder,
Myra: and my homemade calculator that fits in the palm of my hand but has more power than a supercomputer,
Myra: and my tiny recording device,
Myra: and my power-supplemented laptop,
Adrian: Stop! I get the picture, you have a lot of electronics. The point is, I usually need to screen them, but I'll make an exception for you. So never mind.
(August 30, 2017 - 10:34 am)
Yay :) Myra's joining the fun! Okay, who do y'all ship?
I quite possibly ship:
Winston + Sasha
Adrian + Myra
Adrian + Lizzy
ANY OTHER SHIPS WILL BE TERMINATED!
Texts between Winston and Adrian~
Electroclaw: So the students come tomorrow
Electroclaw: I'm finally starting prepare.
Winston: Wait, you're actually preparing those lessons Sasha gave you?
Electroclaw: You mean the recreational ones? NO WAY! I'm working on a list of swear word substitutes.
Winston: What have you got so far?
Electroclaw: Dashboards, shumu, spammin' (spammed), Merlin's pants, Sanct, Clotpole, SOUTHERN BUBBLE POPPING DEMOCRATIC REBUPLICANS!!!
Winston: You know more than half of those are in my normal vocabulary.
Electroclaw: Where else would I get them?
Texts between Winston and Lizzy (now here's something new!)~
Winston: So you know how you said 'tea cures all ills'
LizztheWhiz: Absolutely! There is no more natural and cleansing method of relaxation than herbal tea.
Winston: So I may have accidentally stabbed myself.
Winston: With a pen.
Texts between Adrian and Winston~
Electroclaw: GOOD MORNING! IT'S 7:00 AM! TIME TO SAVE THE WORLD FROM THE FORCES OF EVIL!
Winston: did you just wake me up just for the fun of it you southern bubble popping democratic republican
Electroclaw: LETS SHOW THESE FEDERLISTS WHO THEY'RE UP AGAINST
Winston: im going back to sleep if you don't give me one good reason not to.
Electroclaw: Uh, it's orientation day?
Winston: Not good enough
Electroclaw: Oh yeah, well Myra's coming any minute now, and I, unlike you, am not in bed because I, unlike you, am sitting by the fountain.
Winston: NOT FOR LONG
Electroclaw: Haven't you ever heard the phrase "the early bird catches the worm?"
Winston: THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT "the early cat catches the mouse!"
