1. Office hours: [Simon's office is small, but as it's in the corner of the building, it has two windows which let in a lot of light. Most of the available wall space is covered with music posters or framed images, like the old Smiths poster from when he was a teenager. There's also a framed copy of Yeats' "The Circus Animals' Desertion." Even for those who don't know, it's really not hard to guess that Simon is Irish, but his cramped bookshelves feature poets and novelists and philosophers from all over the globe. Students are welcome to borrow his books; he has some rarer titles that aren't featured in the library.
Students are welcome to see him about anything they're concerned with. Simon is known as a harsh grader, but he's not heartless. He's also an advisor for the poetry club and debate club.
His appearance is perhaps intimidating—with his deathly, pallid skin and odd white eyes—but he's not the oddest looking person around here, and his open door welcomes all visitors, students or faculty.]
2. Network: Good afternoon. I'd like to welcome any new students, say hello to those who have been here for some time, and also to introduce myself to anyone unfamiliar with me, as I do periodically. It's a good idea for us to keep in touch and know each other's faces. I'm Simon Monroe. I teach creative writing and performing arts, as well as speech classes here at the school.
For the aspiring writers among you, I'd like to remind you about our literary magazine. Submissions are currently open for our next issue. We're accepting all forms of the written word, as well as illustrations. And if you have a film or multimedia project, you're free to submit that as well. We do host works of all kinds on our website.
[Anyone who's listening and may be susceptible to such things may suddenly find themselves with the urge to go and submit to the literary magazine, but it's easily ignorable, except for the highly suggestible. He doesn't mean to do it. These things just happen sometimes.]
If you have any questions, you can reply here or visit me during my office hours, which do vary but are posted online.
3. Public lounge: [Simon had ducked into one of the lounges to watch the president's address between classes. He listens attentively throughout the brief speech, and then once it's done, he snorts loudly, all but rolling his eyes before shaking his head. He's clearly not impressed.]
