Personal Improvement Through Science: Aperture Laboratories Presents Physical Education (Wed/Per 2)

So maybe the sign had skipped a couple of numbers from the last time, if anyone happened to remember or notice that. Someone might be extremely cranky about last week. Or broody. Maybe a little flustered, or all of the above. Luckily she also didn't have a face, so it was fairly easy to hide that -- with disturbing levels of (false) cheer, because that wasn't obvious at all.

Today's test chamber looked really simple: just a massive square room made entirely of portal-able panels. There were a few angled panels sticking out from the walls in places, one floor-to ceiling column, and a few high ledges -- if you looked carefully enough, you'd realize there were a couple of Aperture Science Weighted Companion Cubes up there.

"According to these test results, most of you did a passable enough job handling unexpected test circumstances last week. For that, you get a little bit of a reward. No, no, no need to thank me. If any of you are afraid of heights and you haven't gotten over it yet, now would be a good time," GLaDOS said brightly. Yes, in an almost perky voice. "Today's test is fairly simple: figure out as many practical transportation applications for these Aperture Science Excursion Funnels as you can come up with. If you figure out how to get to the Companion Cubes up there, you can even keep them for the duration of class! Provided one of your classmates doesn't devise a way to take it from you, that is. Possibly violently." She paused. "Have fun with that. And no, you can't take the Companion Cubes with you when you're done for the day."

Look. At least she wasn't going to force you to incinerate them, but if you tried to take out out through the Material Emancipation Grill, well, you brought that on yourself.

[OOC: The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Weighted Companion Cube cannot speak. In the event that the Weighted Companion Cube does speak and tell you to ping before the OCD is done, the Enrichment Center reminds you to disregard its advice. Very good! You ignored your faithful Companion Cube's urges to ping prematurely more successfully than any test subject on record.]

Library, Wednesday, All Day

Sholeh was in a staring contest with the books today. It probably sounded stupid (her sisters agreed it was very stupid), but she just knew the books were up to something. They kept rustling around whenever she wasn't looking at them directly. It was both eerie and pretty irritating.

So she'd just keep watching. Watching and waiting. For the other book to drop.

Sword & Shield: Tactics, Wednesday

Lucky for you all, Jaime was the appropriate age once more for class today. He was also alone.

"Captain Rogers had other business to attend to today," he informed the class. "Try not to mourn the loss if a teacher too dramatically."

Really, he could think of a few maesters the world would be better without. You could tell how highly he held a proper education.

"Seeing as how next week will be our last class together, I'd like to ask what you have learned from this class. That's all. Consider it a very easy final examination."

And you didn't even need a ring of metal to prove you passed! How quaint.

Model United Nations, Wednesday, period 1

"Hi, everypony!" Pinkie greeted as class began. "So, we've spent allllllllllll semester talking about all sorts of things in the multiverse that might need all the nations working together to fix! But I thought today, we might talk about some problems that you guys think the nations should try to work on. It could be anything at all, anything that affects you or your nation that you would like everypony to be aware of. Who wants to go first?"
