Bad Ass Bitch Life Lessons; Wednesday, First Period [03/25].

[died8yearsago]

Rosa was not going to talk about how she just didn't show up for class last week. If anyone asked, Rosa still wasn't going to say anything about it, besides just staring at whoever asked and asking 'what class'?

She was going to get right into it this week, though. "Alright," she said, flicking the button on the projector, "let's see what nugget of wisdom we're working with this week."

When you're feeling stressed out,
it helps to make a nice hot cup of tea
and spill it on the lap of whoever's bugging you.

"Heh."

Oh, there was a lot of experience packed into that one little sound. Could that even have been a smile on Rosa's face?

"Okay," she said, turning to the class, "this one's actually good. Legit advice right there, but I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day, right? So. Let's talk stress relief. If you've never actually poured a cup of hot tea into an annoying person's lap before, I highly recommend it. It's very cathartic, and it's a easy to make it look like an accident, too."

Rosa never made it look like an accident.

"It is a pain to clean up, though," she added, "and can sometimes be a waste of perfectly good tea, and then sometimes HR gets involved or they insist you owe them for medical bills, even though it's just a second degree burn, suck it up, princess. But it, like punching, unfortunately, sometimes isn't always an option. So let's consider and discuss or whatever, since this is technically supposed to be a 'class'....what are some other bad ass ways of relieving a little stress, especially when dealing with an annoying coworker or classmate or sibling or parent or..."

She trailed off a little, as she realized that this list could have gone on and on and on...

"Good day, everyone," Anakin said, sweeping into class. "Apparently, the new and exciting way to find dates is through online apps, and while you're all far too young to sign up for such things--"

He hoped. He wasn't going to Google search "hooking up with teenagers" and go to jail, thanks.

"--it's never too early to work on," sigh, "--your selfies and the way you present yourselves. Especially in text-based situations, DO NOT SEND WEIRD PICTURES TO STRANGERS. Or emojis of eggplants, apparently."

He sighed again. This planet was so weird.

"So.Think of what you would do with a fake dating account and what you would want people to know about you, then write it up."

Blood Stain Removal (And Other Practical Ways etc.), Thursday, Period 1 (3/26)

The Danger Shop was already set up in a freeze-frame sort of tableau, with a couple of slightly cartoonish bad guys tied back to back against a lamppost, outside a club that was presumably the one that had been the setting for last week's class.

(Not that anyone could necessarily tell, because ski masks, but the captured villaims were actually two of the same guys from last week's class, too.)

"What do you do with your baddies once you've got them, anyway?" Kennedy asked, pacing back and forth in a semi-circle around the lamppost and the tied-up bad guys. "Turn them in, let the system take it from there? Scare them into a career change? Are they even still around for you to have to make that decision, or are they, say, a pile of dust, or gone in a kinda sulfur-and-brimstone scented poof?"

One of the bad guys was glaring up at her; she just arched one eyebrow and stared him down until he was visibly shrinking back against the lamppost. Possibly he was worried about turning into a pile of dust.

"That's the discussion question for today. There's no one right answer here, no big surprise. What are the pros and cons of each approach in your world? Are there other possible options you might consider, that would work better for you? Not to mention, are you gonna have to worry about what happens if they saw your face? Because we are trying to keep things low-key here, remember?"

Well. As low-key as possible when there was already moderate property damage to take into account here.

Kennedy turned back to look at the class and tilted her head slightly, her expression laid-back and curious. "So ... what's your take on this?"
