Laying Low for Beginners, Thursday, Period 1

[uncertain_dume]

Okay, so Kanan looked a little bit tired today as he leaned against the Danger Shop controls. At least his hair was back to more-or-less normal, and his brain felt rather less like it was full of scrambled eggs than it had on Monday evening.

"So, last class for this workshop," he said, nodding at the students here. "Last time I taught this thing, I felt like I had something to prove with a couple of students," Dante, "who didn't lay low so much as they decided they'd punch their way out of every possible scenario, so I set them loose in the woods with a giant man-eating animal on the loose."

And they'd killed it instead of avoiding it, and Kanan had despaired forever.

"I'm feeling nicer this week."

The whole room darkened, and a long city street appeared around them, mostly a long corridor with a few alleyways, the buildings only a single storey tall. Good for ducking and hiding. Good for parkour if anybody saw a mighty need. Sure, all the vehicles seemed to be speeder bikes and hoverbuses. And the extras that the danger shop had populated were the same folks that had been in the cantina in class one. Kanan's patience for programming had run out about ten minutes into building the scenario, so he'd cut a few corners.

"There's a bar down there somewhere," he said, waving down the length of the road. "You don't know which building it is, but it's got a safe room in the back. There's pizza there. Make it there before the end of class and you can help yourself. But these guys-" And the room constructed another squad of white-armored stormtroopers, "are on patrol and looking out for you again. And this time, they actually know what you look like."

Hey, look. There were wanted posters appearing on the street walls and lampposts between here and the bar!

"If you get shot, you won't get hurt, but you will get to put on one of those bucket helmets, pick up a blaster rifle, and join the hunt for your classmates. The longer you're out here instead of in that bar, the harder it's going to get to make it there. Better not get caught."

He smirked a little and hit one more button, and suddenly he was wearing Trooper armor too, an orange pauldron on his right shoulder denoting some measure of rank.

"Better get going," he said, his voice sounding almost robotic through the helmet's processing. "I'll give you five minutes and I'll be coming after you, too."

Physical Education, Thursday - 2nd Period

[imafuturist]

Today there was a stack of thoroughly ridiculous equipment for each student and one super hyped teacher. The other slightly less hyped, but at least there weren't more horses this time around.

"Welcome back," Tony said brightly, epee in hand like he was Zorro or some shit. "Today we'll be learning about fencing. There's safety equipment here for you to wear so no one loses an eye. Which... can happen, I'm sure."

"My mother was convinced that I would lose an eye," Steve said. "Just walking down the street, apparently, I could lose an eye. Or I'd get kidnapped."

Not the point, Steve. "Anyway, today we're doing another rich people sport." Sorry not sorry, Tony. "Fencing! Which is...like jousting but without horses, I guess."

"Jousting would be a lot more dangerous," Tony replied, rolling his eyes. "You'll need a partner for this lesson, so look around to choose one. Though you can practice the moves on your own if you feel more comfortable that way."

Horses plus pointy things! What could go wrong? ...don't answer that. "Tony will lead you through this because he learned to fence in prep school," Steve said with a teasing grin. "I played with rocks in an alley."

"We'll cover that another week," Tony added dryly. "But first, as is traditional, here's Captain America to warn you all about the importance of not getting your eye poked out."

Flight and Flying, Thursday, June 21, 2018

[sith_happened]

Anakin greeted the flight class wearing a pair of aviator sunglasses and a grin. "I feel the need...the need for speed."

Guess what movie had been on TV last night, kids? That's right.

"Today we'll be flying the slightly dated F-14 Tomcat," Anakin said, pulling a hologram of the plane up for the class to examine. "It was retired back in 2006, but it's still a lot of fun to fly. We'll have a simulation with dogfighting--plane against another plane, no dogs involved--and one where you can buzz the flight tower, which is flying way too close to it, way too fast, without landing." Anakin grinned. "And then we'll play volleyball, which my wife assures me is an extremely important part of the process of becoming a fighter pilot, at least according to the movie we watched."
