Photography; Thursday, Second Period [06/17].

[hashtag_chocobro]

The classroom that day was filled with a lot of miscellaneous objects and a bunch of different lamps, from your basic table top desk lamp to your professional studio kits. And Prompto, standing amid all of them, was there with a bright grin of his own.

"Give you three guesses what we're focusing on today," he said. "First two don't count."

But, yes, it was lighting, and after confirming as much if anyone actually did take that moment to guess, he launched into his lecture. "Good lighting," he said, "can make a huge difference in any photo, whether it's an impressive landscape, a selfie, or just some random candid shot. Want to avoid getting tagged on an unflattering photo from someone's party? Know where the good lighting is and just stand there all night." He chuckled a little, sure, but he would probably absolutely do that. "You can also use lighting in different ways to capture different moods when shooting the same subject, which is kind of cool, and mostly what we'll be focusing on today. I'm going to go over a breakdown of some of the basics of lighting and some general tips, and then we're going to put everything into practice , and you guys can play around with different light sources on different subject matters and learn how to best put these things into practice!

"Oh!" he added, stopping himself as he went to bounce toward the first lighting source he was going to use as an example. "Also, like, if I'm not mistaken, next week is our last class? Which is just wild to think about, but since it's the last class, I'd like you all to put together a little show case to show off some of the skills you've picked up or just to show off some of your favorite photos. So next week, five pictures, at least, and bonus points if you can demonstrate with them some of what you've picked up in this class! So keep that in mind for next week. Now let's get lit!"

....no, he was not going to apologize for that!

Fandom Gladiators; Thursday, Fourth Period [06/17].

[died8yearsago]

When the Gladiators came into the arena that day, they would find they'd find a sort of race track set up for them. Only it was on the ceiling. And upside down.

A Sky Track, if you will.

Of course, the Fandom version, for obvious reasons, had to be a little more complex than just an upside down race track, that was just too simple, so flanking the whole course were several little turret stations with some serious heavy duty water guns.

"This," Rosa announced, "is the Sky Track. It's an upside down racetrack that you'll be harnessed into and have to race each other while upside down. Easy, right? Well. Maybe a little easier for some of you.

"We're doing ellimination rounds this time. Everyone starts out racing on the first race, loser is out. Lather, rinse, repeat, until there's only one of you left standing. To make things more interesting, when you're not racing, if you'd like, you can man one of these turret stations and try to make things a little more interesting for our racers by shooting either foam balls at them or water; there are guns that shoot both. Use these weapons to mess up the racers or exact revenege or just be a little shit or whatever. If there aren't any questions, let's get everyone harnessed up and ready to go."

Adventures in Adventuring, Thursday - 5th Period

[ohvalleyofpenis]

They were back in the tavern again today, but something was off. There was a faint air of menace in the air. Menace, and for some reason, dairy.

Also, one of the teachers was hiding behind and over turned table. "Mistakes were made," Jaskier told the class. "We tried to make a monster to fight with the computer and instead--"

"We succeeded," Cara finished drily as a large form oozed through the door. It was a fat, flat cylinder as wide as the table Jaskier was hiding behind, and was covered in an irregular, bumpy white skin, and when a split opened in its side to let out an almost liquid growl, anyone brave enough to look could see the pale yellow inside of its mouth.

You were fighting a giant wheel of brie.

The brie lunged for NPCakin and started oozing at his arm.

Make that a carnivorous giant wheel of brie.

"So, well, if you all succeed in slaying the beast, we can have bread and preserves with it?" Jaskier suggested, skittering further away from the beast and leaving poor NPCakin to his gooey fate.

Yes, eat your prey. Do it.

"It'll probably be tastiest if you kill it with fire," Cara added.

Physical Education, period 1

"Right." Bob nodded firmly, narrowing his eyes at the Danger Shop's controls. "This week we're swimming. Don't worry if you didn't bring a suit; we've got magic to keep you dry." He waved at the box that Lydia had carried in. "Put on a belt and you'll stay completely dry." He paused. "You might still want to take off your shoes. They won't be any less heavy in the pool."

There would be a pool, right, room? He nodded and looked at Lydia expectantly.

Lydia nodded, frowning down at the controls. She'd reviewed what she was supposed to do, but she was still a little hesitant as she pressed a button.

There was a pool! Filled with pudding, but you know. Pool.

Lydia tried again, and it filled with green jello. Then something that looked like maybe orange drink? Then a fizzy, brown liquid that was probably Coke (or, god forbid, Pepsi) before finally it settled on water.

Carbonated water, yes. But at least it was clear.

Bob gave the room a stern and exasperated look. He supposed at least it wasn't just him.

"Well, enjoy swimming. It should be...interesting."

Try Not to Die, Thursday, June 17, 2021

"Today we're heading to Wales," Anakin said.

"Because we're doing a theme on places that are also words for something else," Ben said, grinning. "Last week, Turkey, next week, Greece!"

Anakin shrugged. "There have been worse ways to decide where to go," he admitted. "Into the portal you go. Try not to die."

"You're not going to die," Ben assured them, giving his grandfather a dubious look.
