Harriet had ~~handwavily~~ arranged for the class to meet in the Danger Shop. It looked like a perfectly ordinary classroom, which, yes, might be a waste of its abilities, but it made her happy.

"Good morning. My name is Harriet Jones, Applied Ethics teacher," she said briskly, smiling a welcome once everyone had arrived. A close observer might have noticed her hand twitching a little, as if she'd started to reach for something and stopped herself. "Welcome, and please feel free to call me Harriet."

"Let's start, shall we?" She pressed her hands together and beamed at the class. "This is Applied Ethics, which I hope we can manage to make at least a little bit interesting. And, to be completely fair, I'll admit I have no experience as a teacher, but I have had a great deal of experience trying to make the right choice in difficult situations, as, I'm sure, have many of you." She looked around the room, smiling at each student.

"It's seldom easy. Sometime there is no right choice, or so it seems, sometimes the cost of making what you think is the right choice is too high. Learning to think about what and why and how we make the choices we do, and a bit of practice making them, should hopefully make those hard choices a little bit easier when you encounter them." She shook her head. "But how about if we save that for another day?"

"This class, we'll just get to know each other a little. Introduce yourself, tell us your name, a bit about yourself, why you chose this class, and, if you don't mind, also tell us something that's important to you - a person, an idea, a place, anything you like - and what you'd do to protect it." She nodded at one of the students. "If you wouldn't mind starting us off?"

Well, picking out Harriet seemed a little easy. At least, Setsuna hoped. You could never be too careful with assumptions. "Excuse me?" she approached her, fish bowl with a little blue angel fish inside tucked under her arm. "Ma'am? Are you the instructor for this class?"

Harriet looked up and blinked a little at the fish. "I am indeed. Harriet Jones, Applied Ethics teacher. Are you one of my students?"

Setsuna shook her head lightly. "No, I'm not," she explained, "but my roommate is. Ami Mizuno. I...am not sure how much of an introduction to this place you've had so far, but this does seem to happen quite often, but, well, we woke up this morning and she found herself in a bit of a different form than usual." With a small smile, praying the woman didn't think her completely mad, Setsuna held up the fishbowl. "This is Ami Mizuno. I'm sure she's quite happy to meet you, and quite dismayed and apologetic that she is unable to participate in today's class due to her current condition, Ms. Jones. She should be back to normal well before next week, though."

A very distinctive bubble of air broke the surface of the water inside the fishbowl, as if the fish was verifying that what Setsuna said was true.

"A fish." Harriet had met the God of the Dead this morning and not batted an eye, but the transformation of student to fish was enough to throw even her. She rallied bravely, though. "Well, I do believe a sudden onslaught of fishiness is a more than acceptable excuse." She peered down into the fishbowl. "Welcome to class, Ami. I look forward to meeting when you've returned to yourself."

The fish responded with as close to a little bow as she could manage and bubbled her thanks and appreciation.

Harriet smiled at the fish and waved a finger, before turning her attention back to Setsuna. "Thank you for bringing her by. Does this happen often?"

"It hasn't happened to Ami before, no," Setsuna responded, "but the phenomena itself, of students occasionally turning into animals for a day or two, is rather common on the whole."

This really was the oddest place. "I'll bear that in mind. Any animals that turn up to class won't be shooed away," she said, glancing at the fish again. "Just in case they're students."

Setsuna nodded, with a small smile. "That sounds like a very wise idea, yes. Thank you." She bowed her head a little.

"You are very welcome, and thank you for bring her to class."
