Galactic Field Trips, Monday

[unusual_sith]

"Good morning, everyone." Lana smiled. "Welcome to our last trip for this term. I hope you've enjoyed getting to see my galaxy." Albeit a carefully curated version. "For our last class, we'll be going to Dantooine. It's an agricultural world that's currently part of the Alliance. It's on the edge of Imperial territory and lies on two separate hyperspace routes, so it's not as out-of-touch as you might think, given its position in the galaxy."

Look, it was the boonies, but it was a pretty nice boonies.

"So, come on through." She waved them into the portal, followed along, and...oh, no. This was not Dantooine!

She turned just in time for the portal to close. "Damn it! Sorry, this is not our planned destination." She pulled out her phone as she looked around. "Welcome to Nar Shaddaa, playground of the Hutts and every criminal in the galaxy. Look, why don't you head into the casino, change a bit of money, and enjoy the slots while I call Portalocity and get us out of here. Just - look, stay away from the tables, don't make a scene no matter what you see, and do not approach anything large and sluglike."

Lana had to make some phone calls.

Blacksmithing Basics; Monday, Second Period [06/19].

[special_rabbit]

"Well, everyone," Amaya said with a nod, "hard to believe it, but we're finally here at our very last class. Hopefully, you've all managed to brush up and improve upon some of the skills that a basic blacksmithing course like this on can bring to the table, and you should be ready to put some finishing touches on your projects before I send you off on your merry way.

"Unless, of course," she amended with a nod and a faint smile, "you decide to take my next course, which will be a little less project-focused and mostly just be about exploring some of the other exciting things that blacksmithing has to offer.

"....moose willing, anyway," she added, after a pause, because even though she rarely had a problem with it, she knew how that often it was that someone wound up with a class markedly different from the one they proposed. But she then clapped her hands together to get back to the point at hand. "And, with that, let's not waste any more time and let's get to finishing up our work!"

Underwater Basket Weaving and Other Aquatic Arts!; Monday, Third Period [06/19].

[in_sidon_we_trust]

Sidon had been a very, very busy Zora yesterday andt hat morning, because there had been a lot of work to do for his class today! Thankfully, he'd been doing this class at least a few times, so it wasn't quite as much work as it had been in the past. Either way, though, that 'a lot to do' involved re-constructing an elaborate obstacle course in the water (although it looked to be much more like a monster camp than being made out of inflatables, because, well...inflatables and claws were never a good combination!). By the time class rolled around, it was all ready to go! And, hopefully, his students would be ready, as well!

"Hello, everyone!" Sidon greeted them with his usual enthusiasm despite having been hard at work and being quite tired by this point; far be it from him, though, to let something like that get his enthusiasm down! "Welcome to our final epic aquatic adventure! Behold! The obstacle course!

"Do you have what it takes to take down this watery behemoth? Can you meet its challenges head on and rise to the top? Or, at the very least, get a good run of the whole thing? Of course you can! I believe in you!"

Fist pump! Sparkly Smile! Hold for drama!

"So go forth and tackle this thrilling course, discover new avenues of aquatic challenges, and, most of all, most importantly!, have fun doing it, because, at the end of the day, that is truly what the Aquatic Arts are all about! Thank you all for being such wonderful participants in this exciting exploration of my favorite kind of art! Let us finish the session by showing this sea how truly fantastic we really are!"

Without further ado, Sidon leaped up in the air to do a rather impressive back flip that allowed him to splash easily out into the deeper water beyond the obstacle course, hopped on board, and waved his arm to invite them all out there to join him.

Pizza!, Monday, First Period

[carbsliftthespirit]

"I guess this is our last week together," Raiden said. "That's sad. But you know what isn't sad? Pizza!" He gestured to a buffet of various pizzas, way too much for the class to eat even taking into account Raiden (...okay, give him time). "There's a wide wonderful world of pizza out there, you see. Over the last several decades various regions of the United States--and other parts of the world--have come up with their own types of pizza, ranging from Chicago's deep dish to the fusion styles you find in California to the Canadians, who slapped pineapple on pizza and called it Hawaiian. Even though it's from Canada. And I've brought a handwavey sampling of those newfangled pizzas for you to try today. Who knows? You might find a new favorite! So go on," he said, shooing them toward the pizzas. "Try some!"

Sam Eagle Presents WeirDONT'S: How Not To Be A Weirdo, Monday, Period Five, 6/19

[but_mostly_america]

“Students!” Sam barked out in a very bird-like fashion at precisely the appointed time, “we have come to the end of our time together. I am certain this is is a disappointment for all of you. But fear not! I am to remain on this very weird island for the remainder of the summer and I shall endeavor to continue my quest to bring a sense of decency to this place!”

Sam, nobody was worried about whether or not you were staying for the rest of the summer. Well, maybe Beaker was. Oh dear.

“Today, we must assess what you have learned over the course of the past several weeks!”

Nothing, Sam. They’d learned nothing from you.

“So, we shall begin with you,” Sam continued, oblivious to any panicked/confused/etc expressions on the faces of any students as he pointed to one of them at random.

“Tell us what you have learned about how not to be weird when surrounded by weirdness! You could discuss music! Clothing! Perhaps even food. As long as your topic remains decent and wholesome. You may begin!”
