Practical Life Skills, Thursday, 3rd Period

[wrongkindofsith]

The Tavern was somewhat different today. For starters there were a lot more NPCs in it. As well as piles of various kinds of loot. And cash registers. With no one behind them.

Anyone have a bad feeling about this?

No? Well, you will as soon as the jingle starts playing. And Magnus, of course, sang along completely off key.

"It's retail season!"

"One of the more inventive forms of torture this world has come up with." Cara did not like shopping, no.

"Just be glad we legally couldn't get Garfield the Deals Warlock to come teach you," Magnus warned. "He's creepy."
"Your job is to find the best loot, but there's only a limited amount and everyone else wants it too." Because of course there were, and of course they did.

"Retail battle royale! It's like a PubG!" What?

"What?" Never mind, Cara wasn't sure she wanted to know. "No hitting the staff though, they're just trying to do their jobs."

"Totally hit each other, though!" Magnus, no.

"Remember, it's anyone's loot until you have the receipt." Cara, no.

Badass Bitch Survival Guide, Friday, period 1

[betterthanaplan]

There was a note stuck on the usual classroom door when the students arrived, directing them to the Danger Shop. When they got there, they'd find it programmed to a replica of the school's administration office, complete with bored office admins.

And an angry moose.

"Your usual badass mentor once told me that she wasn't afraid of our dear sweet administration moose," Duke said, from where he leaned against the wall just inside the door (a good distance from the admin moose). "Having grown up in an area where moose roam free and wild, I can tell you with authority that, if that's true, it's just about the most badass thing I can think of."

The moose tossed his enormous antlers with a snort.

"So today your assignment is to fight the moose." Duke pulled a bag of popcorn out of his jacket. "Have fun."

Practical Civics, Friday, December 13, 2019

[heroic_jawline]

Well, students, the plus side of a field trip to the House of Representatives today mean that you got a break from the never-ending Carol of the Bells singathon back in Fandom. Plus you got to watch the Judiciary Committee make some history, but the teachers were betting you were more excited about the music.

Tony was pretty excited about the music thing!

"Alright, today might not seem exciting, but we'll be seeing how the government works in action rather than through lectures or movies," he said.

"This morning they are voting on the articles of impeachment--for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, both of which he has absolutely committed--by the President of the United States. When this passes, it will then be voted on by the entire House and he will become the third President in all of American history to be impeached: Nixon resigned before they impeached him. As we've said before, impeachment is only the first step. The trial to remove him will take place in the Senate, and we're not going to get into the extremely disturbing interview the Majority Leader gave yesterday which said that he would be coordinating the entire thing with the White House, which is not how it's supposed to work, due to separation of powers," Steve added.

"It's almost like they're all corrupt or something," Tony muttered. You know. Helpfully. "Still not a go ahead to talk about assassinations."

They just knew their class so well!

"Settle in, watch the proceedings, and then ask us questions after the vote," Steve said.

Cooking Through History, Period 2

[sharp_man]

Hannibal came into the Danger Shop to the sound of "Carol of the Bells". Loudly. He sighed and started talking, walking around the banquet table at the front of the simulated Italian hall. "This week, we will be discussing -" The music started again as he rounded the table. He frowned. A few minutes later, it stopped and he continued. "Much of what we know of Italian cooking -" he moved his foot and it started again, since he was now in a corner. He scowled. "Although in the fifteenth century -" More music.

He scowled and threw up his hands, then managed to yell, "Cook!" to be heard over the music, and promptly gave up. You all had tablets with recipes on them. Use them.
