Teamwork Training and Combat Skills; Thursday, Second Period [12/19].

[sword_chocobro]

You know what? It had taken a bit of quickly rearranging and discussing things on their part, but Gladio was feeling a little inspired by the dreidel game around the island that morning and decided to whip up something real quick based on that for their class that day. After all, it was the final class. Might as well make it really interesting.

So what you had awaiting you in the training room that morning was a giant Gladio sized dreidel, and one it were his own variations on the letters with four symbols, one on each side, of course. There was a pair of crossed swords, there was a Cup Noodle^SM, there was a large bird that some knowledgeable people might recognize as a chocobo, and then there was a large question mark.

"So," he started, "today's our last class, and, in the spirit of keeping you on your toes and balancing that line between fun and fight that we've explored this semester, I've convinced these guys," he hitched his thumb toward his co-teachers, one of whom had been much easier to convince than the other; guess which one!, "to veer a little off our original plan with something in the spirit of today's little bit of holiday whimsy."

"We will be spending the class," Ignis continued, "taking turn in spinning this overly large dreidel--"

"Stay clear of it when it lands!" Prompto pointed out with a chuckle.

Ignis sighed slightly at the interruption. "Well, hopefully, that would be obvious to you by now, but, yes, stay clear of the dreidel as it lands, and, based on what it lands on, that will determine what will happen next."

"If it lands on the swords," Prompto offered, "you're getting a random enemy to attack. If it lands on the Cup Noodle^TM--"

"Cup Noodle^TM, Gladio?" Ignis was not the one to interrupt, with another sigh, though Gladio just chuckled smugly. "Really?"

Prompto cleared his throat a little bit to get back on track. "If it lands on, yes, really, Iggy, the Cup Noodle^TM, everyone gets a random treat! If it lands on the chocobo, you get to play a random fun game. And if it lands on the question mark, that means you get to pick!"

"Pretty straight forward, right?" Gladio asked. "If not, obviously, let us know if you have questions, otherwise, whoever wants to give the thing a spin first, step on up, and let's get this class going!"

Fun Animal Facts, Thursday - 1st Period

[needsacatchphrase]

Well, there was a moose in the classroom for your final class. A moose with an obviously fake red nose.

And Jane was just pinching the bridge of her nose. "We tried to get reindeer, I swear we did."

"Apparently they're in short supply this time of year," Cara said by way of explanation. "It was this or a teal deer."

They probably would've been better off with the teal deer.

"How about we just take this as a mixed success and hope everyone has a very nice holiday season," Jane suggested as the moose's fake nose fell off.

"And maybe don't plan flying anywhere by moose light."

Library, Thursday 12/19

[noonedecidesmyfate]

The regular library gremlins were involved in an apparently thrilling dreidel tournament when Belle arrived.

One helpfully provided her with a book that explained the history and rules of the game but shushed her when she tried to ask a question.

The nerve! Shushing a library employee in her own library!

So she sat and watched and read for a while before making up her mind on whether or not she wanted to join in.

Hopefully none of the gremlins would be trying to offer up library books as tokens.

Continued Earth Tourism

Lana smiled at them all as they gathered in Portalocity. "Welcome to our last class this semester. I thought we'd do something in keeping with the current holiday season, so we're off to a Christmas market. They're a bit of a tradition, and in some places have been going on for centuries. We're off to Vienna, Austria today; they have a number of markets, so feel free to spend a bit of extra time and see them all if you like, but we'll be starting at the Christkindlmarkt. They have a Christmas tree, rides, food, and plenty of shopping, so enjoy!"

She led them through the portal and to Vienna.
