Bad Ass Bitch Survival Guide; Tuesday, Second Period [10/23].

[died8yearsago]

Class in the actual classroom today! Rosa kind of dug how it felt almost novel at this point, but she was sitting on the desk at the front of the class when everyone came in, and automatically assuming that anyone not there that morning was probably some sort of animal. Because that was a thing now. That she just straight up assumed, and, goddammit, she'd been here way too long.

"I'm sure everyone's had a real interesting week," Rosa snorted slightly, "so this week, we're just going to sort of....talk about stuff. Bounce ideas off each other. It's a pretty diverse class, today's topic is something that can really benefit from experience, and also pretty freaking important to survival, and that's diversions. Distractions. What to do if you actually get caught," maybe a little late for that one there, Diaz, "what to do to avoid getting caught, or sometimes even what to do when you have to work a distraction or diversion into your plans.

"Classic examples might include," she ticked off her examples on her fingers, "a creative use of weapons, well-timed explosions, smoke bombs, liberal use of packets of fake blood. Other people and/or animals can be helpful, butt they're also unpredictable and untrustworthy. Chaos is your friend. I know a guy who managed to snag someone's phone through a carefully orchestrated swarm of grown men dressed as giant Royal babies. It was ridiculous, but you can bet that guy didn't even realize his phone was gone in the few moments it took for him to get the information he needed and returned it."

...she should really just do a whole class on Peralta's Halloween heists. The material was gold, and she was sure half these kids would eat it right up.

"But I want to see what you guys come up with, especially once you start bouncing off each other. I'm going to give you a few scenarios, and we're going to figure out good ways to provide a distraction or diversion in those scenarios. And then I'll let you guys come up with some situations of your own, see what you can come up with."

Practical Ethics, Tuesday, October 23, 2018

[sith_happened]

"Today we're going to discuss another practical aspect of ethics," Anakin said, still holding a grudge about the damn goat. "Roommate negotiations."

"Like limiting your number of hair products if you've got a small refresher." Because Aphra wasn't the only terrible roomie at the front of the class.

"And not passive-aggressively knocking said hair products into the sink to prove your point," Anakin added sourly.

"You don't need to knock them over if there's so many of them the slightest breeze could do it." Though she had knocked her fair share down.

"There wasn't a breeze in that bathroom," Anakin said.

"The Force made a breeze."

"It didn't," Anakin said. "Anyway. Sometimes you are forced to live with unreasonable people with no respect for hygiene regimes."

"Or communal living spaces," Aphra added like she'd never been the person repeatedly sexiling their university roommates.

"Or other people's property which shouldn't be stolen especially if its creepy eyes follow you everywhere."

And we're back to the goat, folks.

The goat was amazing and Anakin was an ingrate. "So how do you deal with an annoying roommate?"

Hard mode, no sniping.

"Changing the locks on the door is not off the table," Anakin muttered.

Anakin, you knew Aphra knew how to pick locks. "Or you could get rid of their bed."

"Or you could shave half of their hair in the dark."

ANAKIN. ETHICS CLASS.

"Or shave it all off."

APHRA, NO.
