Adaptability And You, Monday, 2nd Period

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan, in sixteen-bit and clad head to toe in the most ridiculous tanuki onesie the world had possibly ever seen, crossed his arms over his chest and... mostly just stood there looking at his class as though daring them to say anything about it, today.

"It's mushrooms and turtles this week, apparently," he said, "and apparently they're biters. But - and admittedly this is the case for most things - just stomping on their heads should be enough to fend them off, and they're easy enough to avoid anyway. So, with that in mind, today we're going to go hit some bricks. In groups. And then we're going to collect whatever comes out. So far I've found money and," sigh, "a leaf."

He didn't want to talk about it.

"The money's pretty straightforward. Pocket it, spend it wherever, I guess. I don't care. What we're looking for are more leaves, or whatever else there is that might help us get the upper hand this week." He sighed again, and then gestured to himself. "You end up stuck in one of these after you grab the leaf, but the tail lets you fly for... whatever reason. So it might be useful. Or at least fun."

Possibly a little redundant if you could already leap tall buildings in a single bound, but okay.

"I have no idea what else is in those blocks yet, hell, most of them have nothing at all, so let's all pair off and take a look around the campus."

He'd regret this the moment one of his students ran through holding a flower and throwing fireballs.

Cutthroat Games- Monday- 1st period

[can_be_more]

Today class was in the Danger Shop, which looked a lot like a basketball court, even if the line markings on the floor were different. Also the basketball hoops were more like flat targets.

Also there were bumper cars.

And Aeryn had a trac-ball racket in her hand.

"Today we're playing something called Whirlyball," she announced. "We will split into two teams, and you will each get a car. Called a… whirly bug." She wasn't entirely sure that was right! She moved on. "Your goal is to scoop up this ball with this… thing, and use that to hit your opponent's target."

"Which is not, it turns out, your opponent, right?" Anakin asked Aeryn.

"No. It's that big thing up there," she said, pointing at the target. "You can steal the ball from the other team, but you are not allowed to touch them. You can use your…" She waved the racket. "...this to hit it, or you can ram them with your car."

"I like ramming them with my car," Anakin offered, grinning.

No one was surprised to hear that, Anakin.

"First team to--ten?--" he offered to Aeryn, "--wins."

"We'll have Billy, Lana and Bobby on one team, and Janet and Sidon will play with Anakin," Aeryn said. "When you lose or crush a ball, as I'm sure you will, I'll be the one launching new ones onto the court."

So good luck either way, kids!

Anakin grinned a little evilly. "This will be fun."

International Cuisine and Grocery Run

[sharp_man]

Hannibal greeted the students at Portalocity with a slightly pained look. If you thought the buildings looked odd, you should have seen his fish this morning. At least the cats were more or less safely in New York.

"Good afternoon. We'll be taking a portal through a bit of time as well as space today, as the place we're going is both in a different time zone and better experienced last week." He waved them through the portal to a small dock on a tropical island. "Today we are visiting the village of Alofi South on the island of Niue in the Pacific ocean. Villages there have traditional showdays yearly, and today is theirs. Rather than eating and then shopping, you will be wandering the show as you like, and eating as you go. Many of the villagers will be selling their food and wares. The local cuisine involves quite a bit of fish and seafood, as well as a number of vegetables such as taro, yam, coconut, and breadfruit. You will find that presentation is also important." Hannibal approved.

"So, wander the show, meet the locals - English is one of the official languages here, so you should have no difficulty, sample the foods, and do your shopping."

Library, Monday

[intotheout]

The library was bright and cheerful this morning, done up in a handful of colors, just like the rest of the island. And just like the rest of the island, there were little angry mushrooms running around trying to -- Tip wasn't sure. Gnaw on her ankles, maybe. Either way, whatever they did hurt and if they did it too many times she ended up back in her room in the dorms.

Which made it a little difficult to get any work done.

Thankfully, it seemed like all she had to do to get rid of them was stomp on them, and when she got tired of that, well. They didn't seem to be able to climb.

So . . . play "the floor is lava" while trying to shelve books? Or use it as an excuse to stay at the circulation desk today and read fanfiction?

Decisions, decisions.
