Food Tour of Fandom [Mon, Period 2]

[doubleohblonde]

Today Bond's class found themselves in a bustling market.

"Good morning and welcome to the Fengjia Night Market, Taichung, Taiwan," Bond greeted the class. "Taichung is one of the two potential birthplaces of the main subject of today's class, Bubble Tea. For those of you unfamiliar with the drink, it is hot or cold tea, usually flavoured with fruit and served with tapioca pearls, giving rise to the name."

"So feel free to explore the market, and try the various flavours of tea."

Sex Ed, Tuesday, First Period

"Well," Steve said at the beginning of class today, "I hope if you had any...special guests last weekend, you learned something from them." In most cases, the lesson was probably either 'use birth control' or 'mad science is bad.' Steve still wasn't sure what to make of Sarah. She was awfully quiet. And intense.

"Since it's the last week before your final, I thought it would be a good idea to have a sort of open forum, where everyone can ask any questions they might have about anything related to the class, and I and your classmates will do our best to answer. You can also use this time to review for the final if you haven't really got any questions. How does that sound?" Steve answered himself without waiting for anyone else to reply. "Good. Let's get started."

Polar Opposites, Tuesday

"I am told that the end of your semester is fast approaching, which means most of you no longer care about this class so long as you pass and can be free to spend the summer in a lazy haze of inactivity," Morrigan began briskly. "Unfortunately, you are enrolled here, where classes continue, and you are with us, whom feel that learning does not cease with a change in seasons."

Translation: Yes, it's nice out. Suck it up. If Morrigan has to be here, so do you.

Oh, Morrigan. "You have no joy in your heart at all, do you?" Alistair asked. The point, Alistair. You're missing it. "Anyway," he said, "Next week, we'll be asking you to get up and defend something you're very passionate about. And because that's a big task--" Don't talk down to the class, Alistair, "--we thought we'd get you some more... material... to learn from."

"Which is to say that Alistair figured out the dee-vee-dee player, and wants to use it," Morrigan supplied helpfully. "So be it."

"I will have you know that the dee-vee-dee is a very effective teaching tool," said Alistair, who had read that in a book somewhere. "We found you a film about debating, and all the issues that are involved with it. You know, professionally. Not amateurishly, as Morrigan likes it." He held up the disc. He probably didn't need to put as much ceremony into inserting it into the DVD player, but he was just imitating what he'd seen in the little booklet with the pictures.
