So You Want to Be a Pirate!, Wednesday, period two

[betterthanaplan]

Class met below-decks again, this time in the ship's galley, a long room stocked with barrels and jars of dubious color, and a small gimballed stove. Duke leaned against the counter while the students gathered, then spread his hands when it seemed like everyone who was going to show up had.

"Welcome to the galley, aka a ship's kitchen. I hope you all brought your appetites, because today we're going to talk about pirate food!" His grin was just a little bit evil. The students had probably better watch out.

( jerky and scurvy and hardtack, oh my! )

Mmmm. Tasty.

Hi-Story, Tuesday, 3rd Period

[jedigrammarians]

Aphra was huddled over her cup of caf. "Gonna take a break from the historical stuff in order to take a more cultural experience, in this case one exploring the dangers of communises that live on small, insular islands," she said without a single trace of irony.

Fandom Library, Wednesday

[raisedbybooklice]

Coming back from her first vacation ever was harder that it seemed. Elisabeth dragged herself through her classes, just to get to the library feeling exhausted.

She was just going to ask the books to behave while she put her head down for a little while. Not to sleep, of course. Just to rest her eyes for a few s...zzzzzzzz

The library was open, even if the librarian's eyes weren't.

Ethics, Wednesday, October 23, 2019

[sith_happened]

Anakin still had a cold, which had left him stuffed up and now without a voice.

"Hello, class," he croaked. "Heard there were island-wide nightmares two nights ago." Thank you, Nina radio! "Presumably that led to a lot of awkward moments where you and your roommate are both up and pretending to be fine. Today we're going to pair up and work our way through the ethical way to offer comfort without prying too hard and realizing your rommate's biggest nightmare is about me wearing a giant purple hat and a tutu or something."

He paused. "If I'm not making a lot of sense, blame the Dayquil."

Read the Room: Practical Self-Defense (Thursday, 10/24, First Period)

[brat_inslayage]

The Danger Shop looked like an ordinary classroom today. Specifically, an ordinary high school chemistry lab that had maybe not been entirely tidied up after the last class.

"Hey, everybody. Hope you had a good break, but now it's back to it. I want you guys to work in teams of two on this one," Kennedy said, leaning against the teacher's station at the front of the room. "It's based on an actual scenario a friend of mine, and a friend of hers, got caught in a few years back. Setup's simple enough: these jerks are trying to kidnap you, and you're not gonna let them. You know if you make it out of this room and down the hall, there's backup waiting for you near the front doors."

She glanced around and smiled slightly.

"So, your mission objective: keep yourself and your partner from getting grabbed, use whatever you can think of in this room to hold these guys off, get the hell out of this room, and make a break for the front doors. Again, be as creative as you can; you can add an extra element of surprise that way, throw your attackers really off guard for a valuable few seconds."

Kennedy nodded and gestured around the room at the students.

"Okay, pair off and take a run through this thing."
