Summer Games of Harmony, Wednesday, period 1

Pinkie honestly did not have any idea what was bothering people on the island this week. After all, she'd woken up on Sunday from a lovely dream about hanging out with all her friends back in Equestria as though none of them had ever gone off to teach all about Friendship in other worlds. And now she got to be in Fandom and teaching again!

Today's class met in the gym once more, where Pinkie had arranged eight chairs facing out in a wide circle, marked out on the floor with tape. Pinkie herself stood at the center, near what looked like an old gramophone.

"Welcome back, everypony! I'm so happy to see all of you, it's like we haven't had class in ages!"

Just like that, in fact.

"Today I've got an extra special favorite game of mine for us all to play: musical chairs! Everyone make a circle around these chairs here, and when I play the music, you're going to dance all the way around it! No fair stopping in front of any chairs, that's cheating. When I stop the music, everyone has to grab a seat! But as you can see, there's not enough chairs for everybody, so whoever doesn't get one is out! Then, when I start the music up again, you have to get up and dance, and I'll take away a chair and we'll keep going until there's only one chair left and we find out who's the winner!"

Yes, she was way, way too excited about this game of musical chairs. Especially for someone not physically constructed to actually SIT in a chair. Not that this stopped anypony back in Ponyville.

Pinkie started up the music. "So let's get dancing! Woooooo!"

[ooc: OCD is up! I will admit, I'm kind of hoping for fights over chairs.]

Kicking Ass, Teamwork Style (Wednesday, Period 2, Week 5)

In contrast to last week's class (for anyone who remembered it), Kennedy had programmed the Danger Shop as a regular old gym today: nothing fancy, just a laid-back and functional space with workout equipment, sparring areas, and several moddable weapons racks. That was totally deliberate. She was sitting cross-legged on a stack of folded mats in the center of the gym as students arrived, one knee bouncing up and down idly.

"Hey," she said once it was time for class to start. "I'm just gonna start off by saying I am really sorry for bizarro me." That was as much as she would elaborate on that, but apologizing for her behavior was kind of a monumental occasion, kids.

"So today's gonna be pretty kickback. If you learned something about teamwork in the last week and you're up to sharing it, let's hear it. Otherwise? Do what you want: spar, work out, hell, go back to your rooms and sleep if you feel like it." She smiled slightly. "Zero pressure."

Espionage & Infliltration, or, How to Play the Spy Game & Win (Weds, Period 4)

"There's one question you all need to know the answer to before you go into the field," Dojima said after all the students had arrived. "'How far are you willing to go to maintain your cover?' After that, you need to decide what's more important, your cover and your mission, or doing what's right."

"So today, since you're all probably traumatized, I brought crayons and paper. Screw it, let's color."

For Hire; Wednesday, Fourth Period [ 08/01 ].

So, last week had been...interesting. Samus had no intention of discussing it. Neither did Deadpool. This, naturally, lead to one solution.

"Movie day!" Deadpool announced in a sing-song voice, already digging into a bag of popcorn. Never mind how he planned on eating it through the mask.

"Movie day," Samus confirmed, a bit more somberly. "Don't get too comfortable, though. The movie we are watching today is an outdated fable of this world's history of mobsters and hitmen, so you get to take notes. Pay close attention to the two characters in the position of for hire work, and try to decide whether or not you think they're any good, and why. We'll talk about it next week in class..."

There was a faint pause.

"And, no," she added, "because he's Samuel L. Jackson is not a valid answer."

"Awwww." Surely, Deadpool was voicing the disappointment of the whole class there.
