Shop Class; Monday, First Period [11/05].

"Morning, everyone!" Amaya greeted the class with her typically far-too-awake-for-a-Monday-morning fashion, the grin on her face and the scattering of materials set out on all the work tables a pretty good indication that they were in for jumping right into the week. "Grab some coffee if you need it; we're going to be working on something pretty involved today, but I think you'll like it and I hope I don't have to hear about it being confiscated by any of your other teachers by the end of the week. Today, we're going to make some grappling guns."

The Circle of Life, Monday Third Period

[stickitupmyjinx]

There was a carton of eggs and various crafting supplies on a table this week. You know what that means!

Actually, wait, you probably don't. "There are various ways to try to drive home the lesson that babies are fragile and a pain in the ass," Vanessa said. "We've opted for one of the cheapest and lowest-effort on our part." She opened the carton of eggs and displayed it to the class. "Everyone, say hello to your children for the week!"

"Because Skywalker was better at security that I expected." Literally not at all. They just forgot to even try stealing those robo-babies and had to improvise. "I've named them all Eggbert and I swear to god, you little shits can't change that."

They got...distracted. By sexy thief roleplay. But the students didn't need to know that. "You can, however, customize what your egg baby looks like. Yarn hair, googly eyes, the works." Because once you anthropomorphized something you were more likely to not make an omelet out of it as soon as your teachers' backs were turned. "So get to work on that, and then explain to us why you chose the features for your egg baby that you did. Your assignment for the week is to keep lil' Eggbert alive and uncracked--and not to just stick him in the common room fridge and forget about him. I expect to see photographic evidence next week that you actually took Eggbert places. Wait, do you all have phones?" She hoped they all had phones.

"Or shock people by using a real camera," Wade added. "But Instagram is really what we're looking for here. You darn kids with your Instagram and your apping into a game that somehow shares the name of something over there. I'm not sure. I just guess it exists."

Vanessa was just going to brush right over that the way she usually did when she assumed it was the brain tumor(s) talking. "And remember, hard-boiling your child is not a clever durability hack, it's murder."

How to Make Friends & Influence People | 4th Period | Monday

Today's cookie offering was apple strudel cookies since, when he'd gone to consider his options, those had seemed like the most seasonal and also the most delicious. Carter smiled at the class.

"I must admit," he said, "that today's topic is one that I am not used to having to take quite as... ah, literally, as I believe Fjord would."

Fjord, meanwhile, had picked up a selection of sashimi that included a pretty sizable amount of salmon. It just seemed like a good day for salmon.
