Have Portal, Will Travel; Tuesday, Fourth Period [03/30].

"Alright, guys," Summer greeted the class with the sort of excited grin that typically might make some of her students a little worried or nervous, because she was clearly a little excited about where they were going that day, and who even knew what that would mean? That was a very wide gammut to run. "Let's keep this short and sweet, not a lot of preamble before we head out today. We're going to be going to a planet in the far reaches of my own galaxy, and it's actually really nice, one of the more beautiful planets I've been to, and there's a lot of gorg planets out there! There's just....one problem with it."

She paused. For dramatic effect.

"And I'm not going to tell you what that problem is."

Of course not!

"I want you guys to see if you can spot the problem and see what ideas you might have to help deal with the problem. Hope you came prepared today! This is definitely going to be a lesson in being ready for anything. So take a few moments to do what you need to do, and when everyone's all set, we'll head on through!"

Adulting 101- Tuesday- 2nd period

Today the Danger Shop looked like a garage, complete with a few cars that the students would totally get to work on today. Kitty, still blissfully unaware of what her night was going to be like, was adorably dressed in a coverall, because she liked committing to a bit.

"Last week you did some driving. This week you're going to learn what to do when you need to fix something before you can drive that car," she explained. "Things happen. You leave your lights on, or it's freezing, and your battery dies. You drive over a nail and you get a flat tire. Now you could get something like AAA, which for certain issues will come out and help you get out of a bad spot, but it's good to know how to do certain things for yourself, at least until you can get them checked out by a professional. So I'm going to show you how to do them, and then you'll pick a car and try it out yourself."

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

"Since our time together is rapidly coming to close, I thought we'd try something a little different today," Ghanima said as the class met in the Danger Shop as handwavily ordered. "Today, we take Tzu a bit literally. Today we're playing with fire."

"Fire. The great cleanser, and the great equalizer. A weapon that can turn around and bite the hand that started it just as suddenly as the wind changes."

"Sun Tzu said: There are five ways of attacking with fire," Ghanima lectured, watching them inscrutably. "The first is to burn soldiers in their camp, the second is to burn stores. A third is to burn baggage trains; the fourth is to burn arsenals and magazines; and the fifth is to hurl dropping fire amongst the enemy. A rain of fire, if you will."

"In attacking with fire, one should be prepared to meet five possible developments: First, when fire breaks out inside to enemy's camp, respond at once with an attack from without. However, if there is an outbreak of fire, but the enemy's soldiers remain quiet, bide your time and do not attack."

"When the force of the flames has reached its height, follow it up with an attack, if that is practicable; if not, stay where you are."

"If it is possible to make an assault with fire from without, do not wait for it to break out within, but deliver your attack at a favorable moment. Last, but not least, when you start a fire, be to windward of it. Do not attack from the leeward unless you wish to feel your own flames."

"If we were starting a fire in a business setting, or on an emotional battlefield, perhaps we'd start with some lies, spread carefully where they can do the most damage. Insinuations whispered in corners where they can breed disaster."

"Starting a real fire requires just as much care, if not more. It is a living, breathing entity, and the burns are far more dangerous on a physical level."

Sexual Health and Education, Tuesday

"So hey," Dante called. "Uh, sorry about the robot babies. I mean. We're here to check in with you guys about how things went with the robot babies."

Could someone please assuage his guilt complex about being complicit in handing them the robot babies? Dante looked downright uncomfortable leaning against the desk.

Kathy slanted him an amused look. "See, Dante?" she stage-whispered. "They have all managed to survive!"

It wasn't like they'd been given Skywalker's robot babies. That would have been cruel.

"But at what cost?" Dante muttered.

Kathy's look was going to get even more pointed. "I suppose we should let them tell us, hmm?" she suggested. "So class. How was your week?"
