Culture Shock, Thursday, Period 2

[uncertain_dume]

When students filed into the danger shop today, they'd find themselves stepping into a setting that most would likely be unfamiliar with. Well, slightly more than half the class would be unfamiliar with. To a point.

It was a bar. A cantina, in fact, much like the one Kanan had used for his 'Laying Low' classes in semesters before. Outside the doors, there was the darkness of night, and all around them were people from every corner of the galaxy, only a small handful of them were human. A jukebox was playing a jaunty tune featuring instruments that weren't found on Earth, and nobody seemed to notice, or care, about the students who had gathered for class today.

Dollar Store Arts and Crafts, Thursday, Period 1

[geniuswithasmartphone]

Class met at the Causeway that morning, as per a handwavy message sent the afternoon before. Hardison was standing next to a van with a Lyft sign in the window "Hey all," he said, giving them a nod. "Why don't we hop into the van and I'llexplain what we're doin'."


Once everyone was in and buckled up, the van started heading into Baltimore proper. "This is Dollar Store Arts 'n Crafts," Hardison said, "a class devoted to provin' you can still have fun an' make cool stuff without breakin' the bank on fancy supplies. I teach art sometimes an' while messin' around with oil paints an' stained glass is cool, that ain't somethin' that everyone is able to afford on their downtime. So this class is kickin' it old school. No portals, no high-end art shoppes, no supplies with multiple zeroes on 'em. We're only usin' supplies you could find at your local dollar store. Creativity don't have a price tag, y'all."

Ten minutes later, the van pulled up in front of a Dollar General and Hardison led the class out of the vehicle and into the store. "A'ight," he said. "Y'all got ten minutes to look around, grab some art supplies, an' get cashed out. Call me over when your cashier is done ringin' you up an' then get back to the van, a'ight? There's plenty of moddable stuff in here, so use your imaginations. Grab paint, pool rocks, shaving cream, discount Christmas ornaments, whatever you think you'll need to make somethin' cool today. Your time starts..." He made a show of checking his phone. "Now."
