The Art of Battle Tactics; Monday, First Period [11/15].

[sake_shinigami]

Settled as usual in the classroom of comfy cushions and warm beverages, Shunsui also had another stack of boxes with him this week and the usual sleepy smile.

"I'm sure you've all heard," he began, "of the idea that if something is broken, there's no point in fixing it ♥. And while a certain level of innovation and cleverness can be useful in the battlefield, there is also something to be said about tried and true practices. Which is why I have decided, based on last week's roaring success, we might try our hands at another game to help us sharpen our tactical skills ♥."

And because it was literally one of the easiest things he could do for a class, short of watching movies.

"The game today?" he said. "Something called Battleship ♥. Now, I assure you, I am no naval officer myself, but I do not believe such experience is required to enjoy the game ♥! The premise is as such: each of you sets up your armada on your little private grids, unbenowest to your opponant, and then? You take shots at their fleet by choosing a number on the grid to attack. For example, let us say that I wish to fire at Astrid-chan," a nod to his intrepid little manager who was definitely there, "at spot A-1, for example. If she had a ship in that spot, it is a hit. If she does not, it is a miss, and the turn becomes hers. Each of the ship is a different length, requiring a different amount of hits to sink, as it were, so the strategy comes in with trying to figure out where to attack based on previous hits and misses. You start out blind, but as you attempt to sink your enemy's battleship, you slow begin to see ♥.

"And, of course, there's the defensive side of it, as well, knowing where to cleverly position your troops in a way that might make it more difficult for your opponant to know where to aim. If there are any questions, please let me know; there are also instruction sheets included ♥. But if not, please, come grab your boxes, find a partner, and let's begin ♥. If there's time, perhaps we can even squeeze in a few encounters, which is quite possibly the only time I will ever encourage more battles ♥!"

Badass Bitch Survival Guide; Monday, Second Period [11/15].

[died8yearsago]

A small part of Rosa was actually a little disappointed that the whole 'turning into kids' thing really did last for just the weekend, because she had a great back-up plan for if her students were still awkward little babies, one that would definitely have made a few child pyschologist very concerned, but, well, looks like everyone was back to normal, so business as usual, and trying to think of which lessons were going to be the more important ones, since there was a good chance she was going to be off on an undercover job for a few weeks coming up.

"Alright," she said. "So, usually, we'd be looking at a few classes coming up having to do with self-defence, and some of that might be coming up still, but first, 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 covering 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. You're not always going to be able to tap into that shit.

"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, I don't really care, just practice these skills on each other, don't mess anything up too badly, ask questions if you've got 'em. Cool?"

Cool.

Advanced Cultural Studies, Monday, Fourth Period

[jedigrammarians]

"Today we're going to look at how meeting your girlfriend's family sucks, but sometimes it provides insight into the fact the relationship isn't working, and you should hook up with your partner's hot ex instead."

Aphra, the film wasn't about that. Technically.

Look maybe you should take the opportunity to explain the concept of unintended readings to the class.
