Badass Bitch Survival Guide; Tuesday, First Period [09/08].

[died8yearsago]

Leaning on the desk in the front of the classroom, Rosa had her eyes on her watch, waiting for that exact moment when class started, so she could get closer to having it end, and, when the time hit, she sighed, and got ready to launch into this week's lesson, the placement of which had actually been shifted and considered based on how much sense it made to do it earlier last year, which meant her whole syllabus for this class was growing and evolving, and that was just unsettling to her very core.

But they were doing it anyway.

"Alright," she said. "So, there's going to be a few classes on self-defense and that sort of thing in the coming weeks, but before we get into any of that, it's a good idea for a badass bitch who's probably going to get themselves in a lot of fights and scraps to know how to take care of themselves, so we're coming basic first aid skills first. This is also handy if any of your classmates or friends get injured, because then you'll know how to help them out, too; it'll just be a matter of whether or not you actually want to.

"There's also the fact that many of you might come from highly advanced societies with technology to just...regrow limbs or just take a pill and you're all better, or maybe you have magic in your world, so you can just say some archaic sounding words and wave your hand, and all better now. But, for everyone else, and just because it's a good idea to know how to do this because maybe you don't have access to that crap or your magic is all messed up or whatever, I don't really know how magic works, but I'm pretty sure this is all way more practical.

"Either way, a badass is prepared to take care of themselves and others in an emergency. So today we're going to go over three skills that can be pretty useful when the shit really hits the fan. We're going to go over how to clean and dress a wound, make a splint, and treat a variety of burns. If you already know how to do these things, good for you. You're very cool. Don't be a smart ass about it and help your less-cool classmates out."

So she went through and demonstrated each of the different skills with a clarity and thoroughness and ease that she would absolutely deny had anything to do with the fact that she'd been doing this as long as she had been now.

"All three of these things could perminently injure or disfigure a person if you don't do it right, but, you know, no pressure or anything. If you have any further questions, I'm sure you can go bug someone at the clinic. Anyway, so take a moment, pair up...or group up, since there's sort of an uneven number of you unless you count the cat, which, no offense, but I don't see him dressing a wound, but I don't know, prove me wrong. Either way, practice these skills on each other, don't mess anything up too badly, ask questions if you've got 'em. Cool?"

Cool.

Guiding the Powerful Yet Incompetent, Tuesday, Second Period

[tellmehowstuffworks]

Upon entering the Danger Shop, the students would find themselves in a well-appointed medieval-style sitting room, with Henry VIII occupying the nicest chair in the place.

Yennefer, standing behind the chair and to the side, told her students, "You are visiting a lord in your kingdom, for...the hunting or some such, the commemorative feast of a famous battle, I don't know, who cares, and your advisee has taken a liking to some of his host's tapestries and wants them packed up to take home with him, as a gift. After all, why shouldn't his host give him a gift?

"You, of course, being a sensible person, realize that this will give offense, as firstly, tapestries are very expensive and you can't just demand your host give you expensive things, and secondly, your host didn't actually give them to you so that would be stealing for anyone other than a king. Your task is to convince your advisee to leave the tapestries be. Good luck."
