Abridged Sex Ed, Thursday, Period Three

"Did anyone else get lost on their way here?" Magnus asked with a frown. He so wasn't the person to deal with mazes and puzzles. But only because people frowned on metagaming.

It was a day for frowning, it seemed, because Cara didn't look particularly happy either. "Try not to get lost on your way back either."

Damn this island!

"But you know something you shouldn't get lost on?" Magnus added, grabbing a chair to sit on backwards like a cool youth pastor or maybe patriotic themed superhero. "Your changing bodies."

Cara did not sit. Because she wished to keep what little dignity she still had. "And the fact you probably suddenly want to have sex all the time." Someone had been a horny, horny teenager. Both times around.

"Well. Yeah," Magnus said slowly. "That too. But, say you're in some weird dream masquerade and a pop star won't listen to you when you say no. Not cool. That's not how consent works. But in this case the dream masquerade is sex. And the pop star is a jerk."

"That's...one way to put it. If for some reason the pop star has made it so you can't say no, they're still a jerk."

"Only enthusiastic yeses are consent," Magnus said, squinting at the class like doing the Forest Whittaker eye would help this lesson sink in.

Cara started looking around for water so Magnus could wash whatever was irritating his eyes out. "If that's too confusing, you have hands you can keep to yourself."

The problem solved itself luckily as he brightened up. "That's the lesson for the day! Now go have charred hotdogs and watch fireworks. Oh my god, Cara we gotta buy Bomb Pops. Right now."

Cara only rolled her eyes a little. "Fine."

Fandom Gladiators Part DEUX! - First Period, Friday, 7/5.

The Danger Shop had once again been converted into a now-familiar arena, mats laid out around a series of small, round, raised platforms, with some higher platforms and a whole lot of dangling ropes off to the side.

"Well, this is a hell of a week to start a new session," Rosa murmured, by way of introduction, figuring she couldn't exactly go by the roster to get a feel for when everyone was there to start class. She took a second to look over who had made it, relatively on time anyway, and just sort of shrugged.

"Alright, well," she said, "welcome to Fandom Gladiators, and congrats, I guess, for having actually made it in and actually, you know, being here and not either missing or lost in that maze out there. Those of you who were here for the first round sort of know the drill, only instead of battling each other, you're battling," she gestured at the teachers who'd made it in, "these guys. For those of you who are new, this class is technically supposed to put you up to a new challenge every week to test your strength, speed, and stamina, but, really, it's just an excuse to play dumb games and have stupid code names.

"If you were here last time, you're keeping your gladiator name. No take-backs." Which just made her sad that Crap Horse wasn't back this session. If you're new, take a second to think about what you want for yours, and pick out something good. You know. Something really catchy and intimidating. Like Lilac or Nexu."

Hey, neither of them were there right now, she was definitely going to make fun of them. "This goes for the teachers, too, don't think you guys're getting out of this without nicknames. And if you don't have one by the end of the class, then that means I'm picking it for you.

"Since Deadpool already stole the hilarious idea of making you all just do a maze this week, we're doing Human Cannonball for our first one again, because it's easy and doesn't require me to set you up in teams or pair you up since who even knows who's going to be here and when right now? So, suit up and get ready. Students, you get to defend yourself on the platforms first with the teachers trying to knock you off, and then we'll switch it. Whichever team of cannonballs knocks the most people off their platform wins. Got it? Let's go."
