As the students arrived, they would probably notice a woman clad in form-fitting black leather perched on a picnic table, swinging her feet as she waited for them to arrive. Some students, if they had met her, might be shocked at the woman's resemblance to Aeryn Sun.

Not that Vala knew the girl's last name, but that wasn't the point.

"Good afternoon, class. My name is Vala Mal Doran and I'll be your instructor for this class. As you know, this class will be about how to make your living as an interdimensional space pirate."

"Now, the first question you may have is why you would want to be an interdimensional space pirate, er, treasure hunter, in the first place. Clearly, you have much to learn if this is your question--because first, it's about fun. There's excitement, and danger, and your adrenaline rushes, and it's a wonderful feeling to know that you have done your best at every step of the process, and that the money you hold in your hand at the end of the day has been if not precisely honestly earned...well, you still have it in your hand, so it hasn't been used as bribes or bail money, and that's always a bonus."

"But enough about me," she said, getting up and wandering around, "I want to know about you--your names, where you're from, how long it takes to get there, the most convenient travel route, and any valuable or mythical objects that, if you were from your universe, you would attempt to appropriate and sell. Also, if you know of any pitfalls to obtaining these objects, either mystical or legal, please feel free to elaborate."

"Don't be shy," she coaxed, after a minute, "Who would like to go first?"

He stands up, runs a hand through his hair, and coughs before starting.

"I'm Roxas. I'm from Twilight Town. Don't know how you get here from there, though, because I slept through most of the journey.

"Uh, I don't really know about stuff that's valuable, like, for money? But there's this trophy that's given out every summer for the Struggle Tournament's winner and it has these four spheres on them, and they're made from gems or something, I suppose. Would that kind of thing count? Because you need to win it. Not steal it."

Although what he would say if he was meta-tastic is that he's a boy from an RPG and in RPG-ville, you generally sneak into peoples' houses, raid their stuff, and take anything that's sitting loose.

He's also doing his best to not look at her, except above the neck. It's possibly rather creepy.

"I think that's it."

He blushes, and sits back down. If he has to do that in every class, he's going to die.

"Gems always count," she instructed him gently, feeling very proud about the information she was imparting, "So, how would you consider obtaining this trophy without competing in the competition?"

He thinks about it for a minute.

"Well, if neither me or Hayner won it, then we could let Seifer's group win it. And then we could... challenge them one-on-one for it?"

He chews his lip for a second and then adds, "Or we could take it from them. But I don't know about stealing - if there was a way to get it from them without stealing it, that'd be better."

"Can you find someone to make a replica of the trophy?"

"Not that I know of."

He frowns.

"Which would just leave getting it off of them."

He shrugs.

"I'll figure something out."

"Let me know what you come up with," she said, "and I'll help you work out the details, if you want."

He nods.

"Thanks."

Because he doesn't think that Hayner's going to win the trophy in a million years.
