Let's Get Creative!, Monday, Period Three

Aphra had the projector set up at the front of class.

"Holodrama day!" she said cheerfully. "Forgery, art theft, and daddy issues!"

Have Portal, Will Travel; Tuesday, Fourth Period [03/16].

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Alright, guys," Summer greeted the class with a smile from the front of the classroom as usual, glowing portal waiting and ready behind her. "You've been doing pretty well with the whole 'preparedness' aspect of portal travel, so I figured we can take a nice week off of all that stuff, no guest teachers, no imminent danger...probably...just a nice, simple trip to somewhere different for a cool experience. Yarple-7 is another planet, so, you know, the usual humanoid aliens that conveniently seem to understand our language, probably thanks to the far reach of the Galactic Federation, but the thing that kind of sets it apart from the millions of other planets out there in my dimension is its candy.

"And I know what you're thinking," she continued, holding up her hands and rolling her eyes, "candy, big freakin' whoop, but that would be the opinion of someone who'd never had candy from Yarple-7, it's pretty famous once you get out of the boonies like Earth where I'm from, and if you don't believe me, well, we're going there, so you can see for yourself, get yourself some candy, and just sort of appreciate a place that isn't, you know, Earth.

"Alright, then," she pushed herself up from where she was leaning on the desk, gesturing toward the portal, "you guys know the drill by now. Any questions before we head out for some sweet intergalactic candy?"

Adulting 101- Tuesday- 2nd period

[throughaphase]

It was one of the days they were back in the classroom! Which meant it wasn't going to be a fun class, sorry.

"Today we're going to work on budgeting." See? Not fun! "By now you should have an income, and that means you have to pay for how you live. First off, I want to have you list off the things that you think will be monthly expenses, like rent. Anything else you have to pay for to live. Just go ahead and yell things out."

Diplomacy, Relationships & Tactics: the Art of War [Tuesday, Period 3]

[atreideslioness]

"Today, we are on to the ninth p'ien," Ghanima stated as class began. "So far, many of our discussions seem to have focused on physical engagements of force, mostly because many of you are all familiar with tactics in a military sense, or have become familiar with the concept through your tenure at Fandom High."

"While I am as much a fan of armed combat as the next Fremen, however, it is it necessary to learn how to apply the tactical ideas you are learning outside a battlefield."

"Last week, we tried to measure cost against outcome when weighing the human element," Ghanima remarked. "Today, we focus completely on the human component, and turn our tactical prowess to that most dreaded tactical engagement of all - relationships."

"Each of you has a slip on your desk with an assignment. You must try and follow the directions to the best of your abilities, using the tactical ideas we have discussed in your negotiations. You are not limited to your classmates for this exercise, and indeed, I shall award extra credit for each successful 'mission' you undertake. I will do my best to listen to radio and chart your progress, but you will be expected to report on your varying levels of success next week."

Yes, boys and girls, you are going on dates. "Get what you want out of the other person, without giving too much ground. Try not to end the world while you are at it."

Sexual Health & Education, Tuesday

[rebelseekspizza]

"So this world and this time likes to pretend that the only real sex and romance is between a chick and a dude who were assigned chick and dude at birth," Dante announced. "That's bullshit, obviously. See, you've got gay people, they're only into banging and being with their own gender. And you've got pan and bi people, like me. We'll do anybody." Beat. "If we're into them. 'Cause we're not into everybody. Some of us are super-fuckin' picky, actually."

( Dante was not, but let's not get into that, shall we? )
