The Living City: Change and the Urban Environment, Friday, Period 3

[stillamthenight.livejournal.com]

"When we visited Chicago during the 1893 Colombian Exposition, it was to witness the rebirth and rebranding of a city that had seen mass destruction about twenty years earlier," Bruce said from just outside the portal. "For Tokyo, we're visiting something similar; the 1964 Summer Olympics. This was the true kickoff of Tokyo becoming a true world city again after the war, and it was framed in terms of peace and sport during the height of the Cold War. Feel free to tour on your own, or stick with the group."

Business Sense 101 [Friday]

[teashopconman.livejournal.com]

Had anyone ever seen Hatter in a mood like he was in today? Probably not so enjoy it. After yesterday's theft, he was angry and outraged and full of pissy energy.

"So," he said, starting immediately, "today we're going to learn about one of the crappiest things about running a business. Crime. Yes children, when you're the boss of a business, you're going to have to deal with things like theft, embezzlement, robbery, shoplifting, and many other things that will ruin your day."

Just like his day had been ruined!

"Now, the trick is dealing with that. You could install security cameras or hire security guards or you could just go with the honesty system and be so surprised when that screw you over in the end."

Ugh. Hatter made a disgusted noise.

"So, what do you do when your business is the victim of a senseless, horrible crime? Do you go vigilante? Do you go to the police? Do you do nothing? What?"

Maybe he needed some suggestions.

Powers, Identity, and The World; Embracing the Real You - Friday, Period One

//So,// Jono said, leaning up against the desk at the front of the room mostly as usual, with the exception of the extremely large snake that was coiled around his torso, resting his head on his shoulder like he had been invited to do so. (He hadn't, and Jono had tried to coax him off before class, but you try arguing with a king cobra who had decided that he wasn't giving up his warm place first thing in the morning, thank you.) //This week, we're going to talk about those people who love you for who you are, not what you can do. And before any of you pipes up with the protest that there isn't any such thing, I'm not going to immediately counter and tell you that you're wrong, but I might ask you to take a moment and look a little closer.//

( What is Love? )

[OOC: Open! And that 'hurt and hope' paragraph in there was taken almost verbatim from X-Men Legacy #264, wherein Jono demonstrates that he should teach FOREVER. I had to use it sometime.]
