NAME OF CLASS: Arts and Crafts 101 PROFESSOR NAME: Professor Zixil Braxton
General information: The Arts and Crafts room is tucked away in the corner - one way in and out, which is just how the teacher likes it. The classroom looks normal enough from the outside, with its standard door and numberplate (with an added addendum by the teacher, his name and the class title added on a piece of Muck Tape). The inside, however, looks like someone found all of the weird, eclectic stuff within a five mile radius, ate it, and then vomited it all up. The teacher has either completely lost his mind, or is trying way, way too hard. The cabinets that line the walls are partially filled with beginner art supplies: slime-based paints, earwax crayons, and...glitter, a thing so evil that it can be known by no other name.
Mechanics: Your Most Excellent Professor isn't going to fill your head with crazy ideas. That's all up to you!
Upon entering the class, roll 1d100 to determine your Muse Level (ML).
Muse Level 1-20 Woah, you can't make art with a Muse Level this low! Go stare longingly at your first crush, or listen to emotional music, or cry it out! We can't have you making anything that's worth less than 20 silver seeds beneath your actual capabilities.
Muse Level 21-50 Did you dip yourself in paint and roll your face over the canvas? That's not going to be acceptable. Nobody will want to buy this. Or look at it. Not even kind of.
Muse Level 51-80 Looks like you might have the right idea. Go ahead and give it a shot. I guess the worst thing that could happen is you ruin everything, but that's okay.
Muse Level 81-100 Got a real overachiever here! Creativity is oozing from your pores (seriously clean that stuff up please)!
If you roll 1-50, you will need to make another attempt. A roll of 51-100 allows you to proceed. The above information correlating to your ML gives you a good idea of how your student will be approaching this assignment.
If you succeeded in developing a passable Muse Level, you will then need to roll a 1d10 to determine to overall success of your drawing/painting/sculpture etc. Feel free to pick whatever medium you'd like!
1-3 You really poured yourself into this one, but the Professor isn't quite feeling it. Take it home and pin it on your wall, because that's all you're getting. (Fail. You'll have to make another attempt!) 4-9 You paid careful attention to details, color schemes, and - most importantly - marketability. Professor Braxton smashes a sickly note to your body with a sloppy "A" written on it, because ruining the art would be a travesty. As far as you can tell, you've done a good thing. (Pass!) 10 You are a prodigy! This thing belongs in a museum! Or the home of the highest bidder! Your artwork will be displayed in front of the entire class. Hope you're not shy. (SUPER-PASS!)
You must RP your student creating their...well, whatever they make.
Bonus Mechanics: •If you include a DRAWN representation of the piece of art that your student creates, you can automatically add 2 to your success roll, ultimately bringing up their final score. These drawings do not have to be anything fantastic, and can be as detailed or non-detailed as you want.
•Any student who is able to use magic to create illusions can roll 1d4 to determine how amazing their artwork appears. Which is what matters. If you roll even, you can add 1 point. If you roll odd, no points can be added. This can not be combined with the 2 points you can add when including an image. •Any student who lacks dexterity (lookin' at you, claw-handed monsters) can roll 1d4 to determine their ability to talk Professor Braxton into believing that the piece of art's concept is going over his head and is, in fact, a true masterpiece. If you roll even, you can add 1 point. If you roll odd, no points can be added. This can not be combined with the 2 points you can add when including an image.
Each visit to the classroom has the potential to span multiple posts due to the amount of dice rolls. You can interact with other students, try to steal their concepts - whatever you'd like to play out!
YOU COMPLETE THE CLASS WHEN

Nerisei moved slowly into the classroom, her eyes glancing around at the craft supplies lining the wall. She was uncertain if it was even worth comprehending, the colors and the shapes and all of the smells that assaulted her system. Instead of exploring her options, she simply glided over to a spare desk and settled in with little flourish. Instead, she determined to lean a bit against the back of the seat and wait for further instruction.
Oh how boring. The instructor seemed a bit out of sorts, but that was quite normal in the academy. What was boring was the lack of instruction, and the whole "Be an Artist and Find Your Own Inspiration!"
Yes, indeed. Nerisei really wasn't feeling it as she leaned forward and looked at her tools, and the paper, and so she simply leaned a bit more and kept the bored look across her features.
Although, her eyes did dart to the demon to her side, impressed with both his ears and his apparent action based on what little direction they had.

As she continued to think over the paper, she imagined the Grotto once more, and thought about the winding vines. Suddenly, she found inspiration. The shape of the leaves, the large tree, her soul. That was what she could draw - a picture of her tree, of her home.
It was perfect.
Finally, for the first time, she sent a smile to the boil to her side, although it was small and fleeting, but it was full of pride.

"I see, I didn't want to assume what manner of being you were and figured it best to ask from the source." The calico nekomata smiled as he glanced at her paper as she would start to sketch then start over. He couldn't say he blamed her, it was hard sometimes to get in the flow of drawing. "I myself am a nekomata..a type of bakeneko. Only our tails have split." The demon explained briefly, offering a bit of an explanation.
"We're demons, believe it or not." He smirked toothily flashing his fangs briefly.
"My, you're a forest protector? That is admirable, I might wield fire magic but burning wilderness just because is beyond me." He assured the other as he folded his legs under him, sitting cross legged as they chatted.
He leaned over to admire what she ahd drawn, it was beautiful really. The cat boil nodded to the ghoul, encouraging her to continue to try and finish the piece! It was wonderful really! "You're grotto seems lovely." He mused, leaning in just a bit to inspect the piece.

Her eyes snapped back toward Kamakura, studying him as he poke with slight interest and tapping her pencil on the desk. When he went on to explain himself, her gaze glanced toward his tail, mainly the tip. It was split, which was interesting in its own way.
"Ah, you do look a bit demonish. A little too humanoid to be a Monster." She raised her vine-like arm, "As you can see, I fit the expectation of being quite monstrous."
She turned away and began to sketch from memory her tree, taking the time to change her stroke to create contrast between the strangler and the host. Every so often she brushed her long hair back over her shoulder, the only movement outside of the pencil strokes. She was entranced, but still listening as Kama continued to speak.
"The humans are quite destructive. Before there were only eight Hamadryad. They were the guardians and protected the souls. Now there are hundreds, and many are located in the human world fighting a lost cause. Humans just don't respect the trees."
She was finally done, and she held up the acceptable picture. It was home.
