Outdoorsmanship 101, Wednesday, period 1

[vdistinctive]

"Alright folks, last week!" Eliot said as the class gathered. "We've covered most of the absolute basics that you have to think or worry about in the woods. I hope you're all starting to feel more comfortable in the wild. Today we're going to cover what is unfortunately often the most dangerous thing you can encounter in the wilderness: other people."

He started leading the way into the preserve.

"So there are a few reasons why the people you meet out in the wilderness might not be the most savory characters. Maybe they belong to a community that thinks nothing of killing and eating other sentients. Maybe they're doing something illegal out here and they don't want anyone stumblin' on it and rattin' them out to the law. Or maybe they're just militant racist assholes."

You're welcome, Hardison.

"Of course these groups ain't mutually exclusive. But they are things ya gotta keep an eye out for. For all that bears can kill you with one swipe, they don't carry sniper rifles or grudges. People are the most dangerous creatures out here."

They'd arrived at the usual clearing, where several five gallon buckets were waiting full of water balloons. Eliot tapped one with his toe.

"So today, y'all are going to be your own worst enemies. Everyone grab some balloons and take off. Find yourself a stronghold in the woods, or try to hunt down your fellow classmates. Anyone who makes it out of the class dry survives, but ain't got a real good grasp on the point of a water balloon fight." Eliot grinned. "Have fun."

Sex Ed, Wednesday, Period 2

"None of you died from embarrassment, so you get a field trip for our last class," Constantine said, once everyone had arrived at Dite's as the handwavey email had instructed. "Look, if we tried to cover kinks as comprehensively as they deserve, it'd take three months. Not to mention the solo ways people have found to deal with sexual urges."

“So instead of trying to explain it all, we’re giving you free rein of the shop,” Didi added. “Look around. Try on the costumes. Test out the free samples. If you don’t know what something is for, you can ask us or one of the NPC people who work here, or look in the book section. It’s a big world. Have fun with it.”

And with that, she stood to the side and gestured the students down the aisles. She was sure the class could take it from there.

How to Be Awesome, Wednesday, 3rd Period

[nomoresportscars]

After last week, Jackson wasn't going to even bother trying anything with the Danger Shop for this session. Everyone could just deal with a regular classroom. He was sure they were absolutely crushed. He was also sure he didn't give a damn what they thought.

Also that he really wasn't cut out for this teaching job. But he was never going to tell anyone that, because that was admitting weakness, and hell no.

Anyway. "This is our last session. Congrats on not dying of a gremlin bite halfway through term or anything." That was dry. So dry. "We're gonna end with a little discussion. We've talked about how to be awesome ––" Freaking duh, it was in the workshop title. "–– but now I want to hear how you think you can spot when things are not awesome. Because, trust me. People are gonna be selling you shit as the greatest thing in the world, but they're not always going to be right. Or they could just be straight-up lying. So how do you avoid falling into that trap?"

He'd had a few personal things in mind when he'd prepped this discussion, but he was not going to be sharing them. Probably.
