Blood Stain Removal (And Other Practical etc.), Thursday, Period 1 (1/16)

"So, hell of a first week back we had, huh?" Kennedy asked, conversationally, once it looked like all the students had arrived in the Danger Shop, currently set up like the front foyer of a two-story house. "Glad to see everybody came out of that relatively unscathed. So. Here's your scenario for the day: you were out a lot later last night than you thought you would be, and one of your parents or guardians is about to leave for work. Out through that front door, naturally, and here you come with some cuts and bruises, maybe, or you're still in yesterday's clothes except now hey, you're kinda gross, they're all torn up or you're never gonna get all that purple ichor out of your favorite shirt again. Short version, it's basically impossible for anyone to look at you right now and not think you were up to something, probably something sketchy."

Not that she'd ever been in that situation. Nope.

"Here comes the question-asking," she went on. "How are you gonna get back into the house without being noticed? How are you going to explain why you're a total mess who obviously wasn't asleep all night, assuming you do get caught, which by the way is the default assumption I want you to work with otherwise what even is the point of this class? You all get about fifteen minutes to come up with your cover story and a plan to get back into the house. Then after that, split up into pairs: one person is the parental-type figure, the other is the totally busted. Try your cover stories out on each other, then switch. Got it? Okay, go."

The Cryptozoologist's Field Guide, Thursday, Per 2

[arboreal_priestess]

There had been a lot of discussion with the office staff, particularly the moose (who seemed to take point in most discussions with the teaching staff, for some reason), regarding Liam and Verity's class topic for this semester. Because, quite frankly, it would be difficult to pull off (safely) without involving the Danger Shop for a number of the classes they had in mind.

And after last semester, well. They'd needed the assurance that the Danger Shop would cooperate. While they did have plans to eventually have the students deal with cryptids live and in person, it wouldn't be until after they'd proven themselves capable of interacting with them and not dying.

Verity wasn't sure what was said or done ( or if her threat to go after the room with an axe and then set fire to the remains had been at all involved )

"There's gloves and goggles here if you think you might need 'em," Liam said, in a dry tone that suggested it would be highly advisable. Sure, the scratches and bites would only be simulated ones that would fade as soon as the program ended, but it was best to get into good habits before graduating to dealing with real live cryptids.

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

"So, you're just starting out in the game. Of life." Magnus added that last part as a complete afterthought. "You need a job to help you out!"

"But since the universe generally doesn't like you." Or possibly just because your teachers just liked watching you suffer. "You don't get a choice about which."

Just behind the teachers there was some sort of wheel contraption with a variety of classic D&D style classes. Magnus did the Will Smith meme pose presenting it to them all. "Come on down and see what you get!"

Just remember to pray to the RNG gods.
