Destiny & Free Will, Week VII [Monday, Period 4]

[atreideslioness]

The students should have gotten a handwaved notice to dress nicely and meet at the Danger Shop, where they were met by a Ghanima waiting just outside the door.

"Right." Reaching inside her coat, Ghanima retrieved a deck of the Dune Tarot and fanned the cards at them. "Step right up, and ask me what today holds for you. Through there --" she gestured at the door to the Shop with the cards, " -- is the Monte Carlo Casino of Monaco. One of the most famous casinos in the world, renowned for its elegance and architecture."

"Your mission is to take the future I forsee, and try to beat it. If I tell you that you are destined to win big, sit outside and give away chips. If I say you fail, go cheat the casino by whatever means you choose. The only rule is not to get caught doing anything illegal by security; that would be a failure of the exam." Not that Ghanima was actually grading them based on the final, she preferred to look at their overall body of work. "I want to see how many of you manage to flaunt destiny."

"After all," she grinned humorlessly, flipping up the Hanged Man with ease. "Navigating the future is a family talent. Who wants to try and beat the oracular Atreides?"


[OOC: OCD Awaits! And now, I crassssssssssssh. Feel free to tag me ooc if there's a future you want Ghani to give your student, otherwise it will be randomized.]

Ethics & Etiquette - 1st Period, 8/17

[screwyoumarvel]

It was the last class of the semester and therefore... the most fun. Because after this? There could be boozing. Well, boozing for one of the teachers. The other was too much of a white hat. Loooooser.

"Good mornin' kids! Welcome to your final," Deadpool said, far too cheerful for the time of day.

Their other teacher, who was in fact a total white hat who would not be boozing after this, also looked far too cheerful for this time of the morning. He usually looked like that, though. "I've provided breakfast, if Wade hasn't eaten it all," Steve said, gesturing to a handwavey assortment of pastries from J,GoB. If Deadpool hadn't eaten them all.


"I only had five donuts!" Don't judge his over eating!

"Oh, well, then there should be plenty left!" Steve would never judge! "We've enjoyed having you in our class this term, haven't we, Wade, and we hope you've learned some important lessons you'll take out into the real world."


Deadpool nodded like a proud parent on graduation day. "You've all grown up so fast. Hold me, Steve! I think I'm gonna cry!"

Steve sidled surreptitiously away from Deadpool, eyeing him nervously. "There...there?"


"You're a cruel man." Deadpool sniffed away those proud tears and held up a stack of papers. "Test tiiiiiime."

"It's just a simple quiz," Steve reassured them. "I'm sure you'll all do fine. Just remember, ask yourself what we would do." And then, he hoped, do the opposite of what Deadpool would do.
