Connor stood at the front of the class, coffee in hand as it was much needed that morning. Coming off the effects of benign tiny and full of boundless energy and then dealing with a massive sugar crash headache after the weekend, he definitely needed the caffeine boost.

“Alright today we are looking at the special relationships that exist between many different species of plants and animals” Connor said when it was time to begin the class. He looked over at Cutter and gave a small smile. “These are known as symbiotic relationships. Because different species often inhabit the same spaces and share—or compete for—the same resources, they interact in a variety of ways, known collectively as symbiosis. There are four main symbiotic relationships: mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, and competition. I will be discussing the first two of these then Professor Cutter will explain the last two.”

Practical Folklore, Monday 2nd period

Jon looked a bit ragged as he leaned against his desk waiting for everyone to arrive.

"I would like to offer my apologies. I did have a class somewhat planned for today, but...I wasn't doing much planning and research over the weekend, and I threw out my notes in a spate of cleaning because they didn't look important."

He probably owed his gran a few retroactive apologies.

"So we're watching a movie. About folklore and its effects on people. You don't have to stay if you don't want to."

Those of you who were staying, enjoy.

Try Not to Die, Monday, November 20, 2023

"Well, food is probably on your mind this week," Anakin began, "so our class is centered on that. During your time as a negotiator, food will often play a role. And sometimes the culture you're visiting might offer you something to eat that is either incompatible with your abilities as a species, something you object to morally--maybe they want to eat your colleagues, for instance--" looking at you, Ewoks, "--or at its simplest form, it's something you just don't want to eat. Today, you'll work on saying no without horribly insulting someone else's culture."

He crossed his boots in front of himself as he leaned back against the desk. "No powers," he added, "just your natural abilities. In some places, tweaking someon's mind to make them agree with you is punishable by death."
