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."

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.
