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

[stillamthenight.livejournal.com]

"My apologies for missing class the past couple weeks," Bruce said, kicking things off. "It was a crucial time for my company and it couldn't be avoided." Also, several of Terry's enemies teamed up as a Ferocious Five and he needed some guidance. Funny how things like that regularly overlapped. "But I understand last week would have been a lost class anyway. I'm glad to see everyone made it through. Let's get on with business."

Bruce decided to give people a break and started giving a detailed lecture about 1960's London, explaining the music, the fashion, and all the rest that I again didn't give myself enough time to research and write up in detail. Somewhat amazingly, he actually managed to avoid even vaguely referencing drugs, even while talking about the Beatles. Good role model.

"We will of course be going there next week," Bruce said at the end of class. "So be prepared to go mod."

Business Sense 101 [Friday]

[teashopconman.livejournal.com]

Hatter was feeling a mite lazy. He'd barely done anything lately but he was still feeling lazy.

"I'm not really up to giving you all a huge, long lesson," he said, yawning and leaning back in his chair. "So, I'm going to send you out into the world of the island's business. Please visit a business on the island and find one thing you think they're doing right and one thing you think you're doing wrong. Don't be afraid to tell the business owner that either! You might be helping them!"

Or you might annoy them but did Hatter care about that? Nope.

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

[furnaceface]

//Right,// Jono said, once the class had gathered in the Danger Shop today. //So, we've lost a few weeks from our syllabus by this point, a few of us are probably feeling more than a little worse for the wear, there's a camping trip on the weekend for those who are feeling so inclined, and Easter is in two days for the handful of you who care. What we had wanted to do is to let people come in here, in a safe environment, and if they were feeling up to the challenge, encourage them to let go, with or without their powers, to see what they're really capable of. And that offer is still on the table, for the record. If anybody would like a chance to use the Danger Shop as a safe place to find the upper limits of their powers, either Rinoa or myself would be happy to assist you.// He glanced over at Rinoa, who was sitting quietly across the room with her dog keeping her company. Okay, on a better week, maybe they'd both be happy to assist. Jono was here for people either way, at least. //If you're worried about our safety, there's no need. We're both shockingly difficult to damage.//

He shoved his hands into his pockets and shrugged his shoulders.

//Since March was… one hell of a month and all, we're going to give you a few options today. If you care to talk about what happened and what that means for you and your identity, stay right here, and I'll have the Danger Shop bring up some cushions so you can make yourself comfortable as you do so. If the last thing you want to do is more sharing, over there are some punching bags. Beat th'shite out of them, work off some of that frustration, feel free to use your powers if you're comfortable doing so, otherwise, I'm pretty sure we've all got perfectly functional fists and feet that'll do the job just as good. And...// He tilted his head a little. //If any of you want to take us up on that other offer, if you want to step into a private, safe corner of the Danger Shop and really let loose to test your upper limits, come talk to me. I'll have to do this one at a time, but I think there's enough time in this class to handle any takers, and if we don't have time or you aren't feeling up to it quite yet, know that the offer is going to stay on the table for at least as long as I'm still a teacher. Please, come talk to me any time.//

That seemed like it about summed it up, so Jono waved a hand out toward the room.

//Here in the pillows to talk. Over there to the punching bags to let off some steam. Anyone who wants to test what their powers are capable of in a safe space, come talk to me.//

[Open!]

How Not to Die, [Friday, 4th Period]

[wrongkindofsith]

Cara stood at the front of the classroom today, waiting for her students, once they'd all arrived, she looked them over before speaking.

"I see you're all in one piece. Good. Now after events like last week, normally I'd be inclined to go easy on you, however given how the island itself was affected, it would be prudent to follow up to ensure it's no longer under outside influence. As I've mentioned before, complacency is a good way to get yourself killed." Also one of them had left a smart message on her phone the other day and now they all had to suffer. "So I have a list of tasks for you all to complete during the rest of the lesson."

She began handing out sheets of paper. "I realise some of them sound ridiculous, but they're all designed to help test the health of the island." Or because she thought they'd be funny. One of the two. "Remember to keep an eye out for anything especially odd."

You could all thank Four later.
