Let's Play Some Sports! - Thursday, First Period [02/06].

[sword_chocobro]

"Alright, guys," Gladio said with a grin, as he lead them into the danger shop, which was set up as a nice sunny tropical beach with possibly the nicest soft sand you ever did feel between your toes, "I don't know about you all, but I think we've had enough winter time sports for a while, don't you? I think it's time for...." He strode over to where a net was set up and bent over to pick up the ball that was waiting there as well, "...a little volleyball."

He gave the ball a little toss into the air, sending it toward the most moddable closest student, who just happened to be Eleanor, who thankfully had good enough reflexes to avoid getting hit, even if her catching of it was somewhat clumsy. Gladio grinned with an approving nod, and continued.

"And we've got the perfect amount of people for doubles teams, so we'll take a few moments to go over the rules. There's a cabana over there," he hitched his head to the side with a snort, "if you want to change into something more suited for beach volleyball, and then we'll get into a little bit of a mini-tournament."

Health Education, Thursday, Period 3

[ifwebeworthy]

"This week I thought we'd talk about the importance of staying active and exercising," Don told his students. "Living a very sedentary lifestyle, where you don't move around or really do much, physically, is very bad for you. I encourage everyone to at least get out and take a walk every day, especially since with all the stairs on this island you get some bonus exercise built in." So many stairs. "But if you want, adding some extra exercise in might be a good idea. I have some information here on some basic exercises, and there are all sorts of demos and routines you can learn about online on places like Youtube. I won't be doing any demonstrations today because I have a bad leg and my form wouldn't be 'correct,' but that's also an important consideration. You can always modify exercises if they don't work for you because of physical limitations.

"Now, why is it important to exercise? Lots of reasons. In the short term, if the island is invaded by, I don't know, Doombots, you'll want to be strong enough to fight or have enough stamina to run away. In the long term, it improves your overall health and will help to prevent problems later in life. So again, I would recommend at least a walk every day, and maybe some squats or something if you feel like it. You can try out some of the exercises now, if you'd like, but I've never done a burpee, so I can't help with your form or whatever." Thor could, probably.

Library, Thursday 2/6

[noonedecidesmyfate]

The library gremlins were huddled together this morning. Belle knew they were plotting something. Belle did not want to know what, not really.

She was going to keep her distance when she could and read about...ice storms, apparently. That was the newest display theme that had appeared since her last library shift.

Well, she was cozy enough in the library in an oversized sweater reading a mystery set in a hotel where the guests had all been iced in over a weekend by a sudden storm. She suspected the hotel was haunted though she wasn't sure yet.

Relaxing For Dummies [Thursday, Second Period]

[needsacatchphrase]

It was just Jane this week, but that just meant she could go with her method of relaxation this time around. Don't judge her for it.

"So, today is going to be pretty easy," Jane said to the class. "Like most of this class, honestly. Today is about watching adorable animal videos until you feel better about the world in general."

Don't. Judge.

"Sometimes it's the only thing that you need, okay?"
