Teamwork Training and Combat Skills; Thursday, Second Period [11/14].

[hashtag_chocobro]

"Alright, guys!" Prompto started out class that morning with his usual good cheer and excitement, with maybe a particularly eager grin to put what he'd been working on in the danger shop to good use for the lesson that week. "Today, we're going to start putting some of our teamwork training and combat skills," hey! He said the name of the class!, "to good use in what's essentially a dungeon crawl."

"Or," Gladio offered, "you could think of it as sort of a an escape room plus monsters."

"An escape series of rooms," Ignis corrected lightly.

"Basically, though," Prompto continued, "the concept is pretty simple: you guys wanna get out of the dungeon, but first, you all have to team up to solve the puzzle to get out of the room, and while solving the puzzle means getting to move on, you'll also have to fight monsters to get to the next one. Which is kind of a slog when it's a real dungeon, but thankfully, we're only doing three rooms, because we only have so much time.

"And each of the monsters themselves," Gladio elaborated, "will also require different methods of attack."

"So essentially," Ignis gestured faintly, "each step of the way should require you to work with your teammates in figuring out how to defeat both puzzle and monsters and hopefully find your way to victory."

"So grab some weapons of choice," Gladio grinned, "warm up a little and ask some questions, and then we're throwing you in and seeing if you can get out by the end of class."

Fun Animal Facts, Thursday - 1st Period

[needsacatchphrase]

Jane had a leopard in headlock as class started this week. Because somehow this place was continuing to surprise them.

"Hi! Hey! Sorry, we're just--" Trying to keep it from eating any faces.

Cara was quite sensibly keeping her face away from the leopard, and not really helping Jane wrestle with it. Look, she wasn't allowed to use her agiels on it, it was endangered or something. "Apparently leopards are both notoriously fond of eating faces, and continually surprising people when they do so."

"Maybe next time we just go to the zoo," Jane suggested, wrangling said leopard as best she could. Poor creature. Thinking only of murder all day.

"And don't leap face first into the leopard enclosure." Because it seemed people needed to be told that.

Library, Thursday 11/14

[noonedecidesmyfate]

The gremlins were in various states of undress today as they ran (or stumbled) around the library.

Belle didn't want to know. Belle wasn't going to ask.

Belle was just going to sit at the desk and shake her head and sigh quietly at the antics.

"You usually don't even wear clothes," she said quietly, mostly to herself. "So why have you got pants around your ankles? And why is there one glove over there and s jacket on that bookshelf?"

Some things were best left unknown.

Continued Earth Tourism, third period

"Different mineral springs today!" Lana informed them cheerfully, leading the way through the portal. "Though I wasn't planning to get into them today. You're welcome to wade in if you like - take off your shoes first - but there's a lot more here. This is Pamukkale, Turkey. There's been a city and spa here for around 2,200 years. Hierapolis has a theater, a necropolis, and a temple. So, take pictures, visit the ruins, wade if you like, and I'll see you back here when you're done!"
