Sex Ed, Monday [1-26] Third Period

[screwyoumarvel]

Today a large poster was displayed at the front of the classroom. "I would just like to start by saying I had nothing to do with the creation of this poster," Steve said, looking faintly embarrassed about it. "But it has an important message. You can't always tell by looking at someone whether they have a venereal disease or not. They may not even know it. That's why protection is so important, and why abstinence is the only really effective way of preventing the spread of disease. Today we're going to have a little exercise to demonstrate this.

"You have the rest of the class period free to mingle and eat these cookies I brought. There is only one requirement: you must shake hands with anyone you talk to. And there is a catch. One of you is--hypothetically, of course--carrying a disease, which is transferred by the shaking of hands. I will tell you who at the end of the period. But don't worry about that for now. Chat. Enjoy the cookies."

During the Lecture

[screwyoumarvel]

React to the lecture. Or that cheesy poster.

Alice was quite curious, now, as to who the Axis was.

Van Helsing is both confused and confused some more at the poster. He's not sure why the Axis needs beating, nor why the poster is insulting to women (hey, he was taught manners), but he's quite certain that the hand-shaking exercise is not something he is interested in at all.

What is an Axis that it must be beat? Or couldn't be beat, rather. What did that mean?

Ned decided that posters didn't have to be graphic and overdone to be scary. That one was simple and he was already sort of frightened.

Liir listened.

Though he'd have much rather hid.

Helen wondered why the poster suggested that only women could be infected with such a disease and be spreading it around.

Activity

[screwyoumarvel]

Chat! Eat cookies! Shake hands!

Alice suspected that the cookies were contributing to the disease, and skipped them. She was looking around to shake hands, however.

Priestly stuck mostly to the chocolate chip cookies. Not that he wasn't intrigued by the bacon ones, he just liked chocolate chip cookies. A lot.

He wondered if he'd get in trouble for wearing his gloves for the hand-shaking.

Chocolate-chip only, thanks. Dinah noshed happily on hers, and looked around for someone to talk to and shake hands with.

Edmund dutifully ate a cookie and then went about finding people to shake hands with. This week didn't make him want to shrink into the background. He was taking advantage of that.

Re: Activity

No bacon cookies for her. Penelope took a chocolate chip cookie and was quite ready to talk to and shake hands with someone else.

Re: Activity

There was no way Ned was going near a bacon cookie. He liked bacon but not in a cookie. He'd stick with what he knew was good.

Re: Activity

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir took one of the chocolate chips and one of the bacon cookies and settled in a corner-like area if anyone wanted to chat with him.

Re: Activity

Hinata avoided the cookies, not particularly in the mood for them for no reason really, and glanced around to see who to shake hands with.

Re: Activity

Helen wasn't certain she wanted to try the odd smelling cookies, but she was available for hand-shaking as long as the disease was truly hypothetical.

Eric had been to far too many events where he'd had to eat food that was 'in fashion' -- which meant ridiculously small portions of horrifyingly disgusting food which invariably left him craving a triple bacon cheeseburger and fries.

The bacon cookies were nothing. And, upon trying them, actually kind of decent. He munched on one as he went around, looking for someone with whom he could shake hands.

At the End of Class

[screwyoumarvel]

React to the revelation of the disease vector here.

Re: At the End of Class

[screwyoumarvel]

"Congratulations," Steve said at the end of class. "Everyone who shook hands with Dinah now has syphilis."

Talk to the Teacher

[screwyoumarvel]

Both before and after class, he is here. Maybe ask him what he was thinking with the bacon cookies.

Re: Talk to the Teacher

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Er professor?"

He hoped the man wouldn't mind him bothering him about something so small as this.

OOC

[screwyoumarvel]

Disease vector will be revealed later.

Bacon cookies will be made and taste-tested when I get up the nerve.

My cousin made bacon-chocolate-chip cookies for New Year's. (Not this last year, the one before.)

I was not brave enough to try them, because they smelled weird. sarcasm_guy did, though.
