Food Tour of Fandom [Mon, Period 2]

[doubleohblonde]

There were neither hills nor wheels of cheese in sight today, thankfully for Bond's class. Instead, there was a fountain a square, which was a good thing, as the Danger Shop was set to a hot summer day. There were also a number of stalls dotted around the square. Bond himself was sucking on an oddly shaped ice lolly as he waited for the class to arrive.

"An interesting thing about frozen desserts," he began. "Is not only how old they are, with mentions of variations of involving the use of fruits and honeys to flavour ice and snow dating back into antiquity, but also how many of these ancient cultures such as Egypt, China and Persia, had versions. Although the effort involved in collecting and storing the ice until and through the summer months meant that before the invention of modern refrigeration techniques such desserts were luxuries, often reserved for the rich and powerful."

"And what better place to sample some of these, than Florence, often said to be where modern ice cream was invented, back in 1565."

So You're a Fugitive From Justice, Tuesday, 3rd Period

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"Good afternoon," Zayne said. "So, funny thing happened this weekend. I felt it would be a good idea to start a bonfire somewhere as a protest against something and the only fuel I had was my class notes."

"So while I try to get myself reorganized, we're going to have a movie day a little earlier in the semester than I had planned. But part of survival is being able to change your plans at a moment's notice, so you get to see meta for The Fugitive. It's about a doctor framed for the murder of his wife, his escape from the law, and his search for justice."

[OOC: Sorry, I feel like hell, so I have to go with movie day.]

Polar Opposites, Tuesday

[ofthe-wilds.livejournal.com]

Morrigan and Alistair had already squabbled over who got to pick out a topic from the bowl this week by the time the students arrived, and Morrigan had a small piece of parchment clutched in her hands. She was going to vet every topic from here on out, to prevent any more shenanigans by the warden.

"Today we are debating random drug testing of athletes, both professional and student," she said smoothly. "It is my understanding that this means that players participating in a team event have been known to ingest substances that give them an unfair advantage over other players."

Yes, Alistair, she's looking at you. THE TAINT COUNTS.

What was she looking at him for? It's not like Morrigan knew about the taint...

"I don't understand that," Alistair said, looking mildly confused. "I mean, who hasn't taken a quick potion to boost their-- ah, stamina..." He made it sound quite illicit, "...before a game?"

She was a Daughter of Flemeth, of course she knew how wardens were made. Not that Alistair needed to know that.

"Apparently, stamina potions are frowned upon unless everyone can have one," Morrigan replied mildly. "Even if some people don't need them."

"You lot have a funny way of doing things," Alistair informed the group at large. "But fine, let's toss this one out there. Someone convince me why this is bad."

Sex Ed, Tuesday, First Period

[screwyoumarvel]

"Good morning, class," Steve said. "You've had all of yesterday to recover from our...very special Fandom weekend, so no excuses." Not even those of you who might be hungover. "Last week we talked about contraception, because I think that was important to address first. This week, we're going to start talking about why you need contraception."
