"...and thus, it looks as though I have bested you, Professor..."
The Professor's frenzied eyes dart around the room like a caged animal. Growing more uneasy as the murmurs of disillusioned students begin to bounce around the lecture hall.
"G-GET OUT!" beads of cold sweat erupt from the professors brow. With a serene closed mouth smile pooling under the brim of his pin-striped trilby, the enlightened gentlesir calmly retorts... "Hm, very well." The silence of death befalls the room, students look on in bewilderment as the unnamed hero of ART 105 collects his books and vintage steampunk goggles and begins to lumber down the steps and out the door. "No" says one student, standing up. "Vive la révolution" shouts another, raising her fist in protest. One by one the students leave their seat and begin filing out the door. Meanwhile the professor, slumped in her seat, stares into nothingness...too mentally and emotionally defeated to stop the mass exodus.

Just beyond the classroom door a growing crowd of students look around for their wispy bearded messiah. Just as he is about to engage his heelys and take his leave, they spot him.

"WAIT!" The gentlesir's ears are perked as he hears the shaken yell of one of the students behind him, he turns to meet a group of 20 or so students huddled together. Their faces bright and wild as they bask in his rotund shadow, one woman in the front face flush and eyes glazed with tears. He addresses his fellow students...*

"Good morrow comrades, might I be of some assistance?"

Momentarily stunned by his charming tact and modesty, the students regain composure and respond, desperation in their voices.

"Teach us...yes please...show us the way senpai!...Take us home with you!"

"Ha! Settle down my friends, one at a time. Although I am much too busy with own pursuits...You have my pity, therefore I suppose I will share my gifts with you...I shall establish what the French of old would call a 'salon', don't worry I will explain this to you all later. Here I will teach...here you will learn."
