Blood Stain Removal (And Other Practical etc.), Thursday, Period 1 (1/9)

There was an array of snacks and beverages up front of the classroom today, and Kennedy just sitting on the desk, waiting for the class to arrive.

"Hey, everybody," she said easily once it looked like everyone was here. "First week of the semester, right after the regularly-scheduled seasonal crisis, so we're definitely going to have a chill day today. A predictable chill day, because guess what, it's introductions time. But first? Let's get a couple of house rules established."

She hopped down off the desk and paced back and forth, her arms crossed and her expression gone from cordial to stern.

"So. This whole class is based on the assumption that your whole secret vigilante life deal is hypothetical, and you're invited to create a persona and a backstory to use all semester. That said? This is Fandom, and I'm also not gonna assume that this is an imaginary exercise for all of you. If the not-so-hypothetical is your thing, and if you're comfortable enough sharing it with the class, that's cool. But unless your classmates specifically tell you it's okay, that information does not go outside the classroom, are we clear?"

It was probably not hard to see how Kennedy had gotten her drill-sergeant reputation back in the Sunnydale days.

"So now, on to the predictable: introductions. Name, why you're taking this class if you're comfortable sharing that, and an optional fact about yourself." She paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, snacks, because it's been that kind of week."

Wisdom is a Dump Stat: Adventuring for Beginners, Thursday, Period 3

"--and that's why we don't let Bards lead any parties," Magnus said to Cara before apparently just noticing that the class was there. "Oh, you all made it! Awesome. Welcoming to Adventuring something something."

Did he not care enough to look at his notes for the class title? Yep.

"Where you'll learn valuable skills that don't involve solving problems by fucking the monster." Not when it was much easier to just make them think you were going to fuck them before stabbing them instead. Cara was judgmental today.

Cara also had a better charisma stat than Magnus somehow.

"Skills like thinking on your feet! And... punching thing re'l re'l good," Magnus added. "Navigating the dangerous world and the like."

"Because as this weekend just proved, you''l need all the help you can get." While Cara was talking a patch of the Danger Shop just glitched and shimmered slightly. Probably nothing to worry about.

"So, get yourself ready to fight the dreaded--" Magnus paused, trying to see what the weird, static-y spots could be. "Gerblins? Are they gerblins?"

Cara glanced at the Danger Shop controls. "It says they're called 'sknehubg3'." Don't ask how she managed to pronounce that. She had skills. Skills which occasionally involved accidental keysmashing.

Like Liam Neeson!

"Okay, time to fight the 'sknehubg3'. Maybe tell us your name too. And how you wouldn't try to fuck the monster to win the fight." Helpful things to know.
