"Today is our last team building exercise of the summer," Anakin announced to the group in the park over the sound of preschool children playing on the playground equipment. "And today I have brought in helpers!"

Oh, good.

"You will be put into teams and work your way through a series of obstacles with the help of a four year old child."

Well. "Help." Anakin knew four year old children.

"Today you will be wearing festive hats instead of shirts!" he added. "They were not at all inspired by my wife watching political conventions the last few weeks."

Lies. There was no other reason to wear a corn hat.

"Listen for your names!"

Treat Yourself, Thursday, Period 2

[deathsmajesty]

If only she and Ignis had coordinated a little better, they could have combined their New Zealand trips. But alas, they had not, and so Liliana's special trip to New Zealand had to take place the week after his. Still, there was no better place for them to celebrate the last class and get to practice everything they'd learned over the past seven weeks.

A message had gone out, informing people that they might wish to bring something to go swimming in, or something they would wear to a spa with massages, and they met up once more at the portal. It wasn't until they stepped through and into their destination. "Welcome to The Lost Spring," Liliana said. "A resort built around natural geo-thermal pools. There are several, with several variations in temperatures. There is also a treetop day spa, should you wish to enjoy a massage, a wrap, or some other treatment. A restaurant, in case you wish to indulge in food. Even a store, in case you were looking to enjoy a little bit of retail therapy. Or you can just sit in a patch of sunlight and play on your phone. No lecture today, darlings. Simply find something - or more than one thing - and spend at least one last hour treating yourself to luxury, relaxation, and indulgence."
