Modern Kitchen Basics; Monday [04/07].

[hashtag_chocobro]

The last time Gladio and Prompto had been called in to cover for Ignis' class, they'd been eager and excited to do it, especially since it meant potentially teaching their friend's students the kind of things that would make their friend suffer. But this time, the attitude was much different, as Gladio had received that call at a ridiculously early time of the morning (even for when he usually got up!), and there was a good chance their friend was going to actually suffer, because of 'something going on right now on Innistrad.'

You know, that place that he and Liliana insisted on traipsing off to so often where so many good things always happened!

So Gladio was doing his resolute best to not be an absolute behemoth of irritation and annoyance (and concern), while Prompto was just feeling pretty nervous and just hoping he was able to keep things under control. He was sure everything would be fine! Igs and Lils went to Innistrad all the time! They had a house there! (Well, Liliana did). Sure, Ignis never called to have them cover his class because of some vague thing that he wasn't going into detail about, but it was Ignis! If there was a problem, he would have let them know!

Right?

Prompto cleared his throat. "Hey, guys," he said, giving the class an uncertain smile, and lifting his hand, "it's us again. Ignis couldn't make it in this morning, so we're here to pick up his slack and teach you more about Modern Kitchen Basics! Even if, at this point, there's a good chance you guys might even know more than us."

"So," Gladio grunted, "with that in mind--"

Before Gladio managed to get too far in his part of the lecture, he suddenly stopped, because he very suddenly didn't even have a mouth. In fact, it was a very good thing that Prompto had turned to look at Gladio when he started speaking, because he could catch the exact moment when his lumbering friend shrunk down and changed form into a big vase full of gladiolus flowers. He let out a surprised sound and lurched forward to catch the vase before it fell to the floor to smash into pieces.

There was some juggling going on, a bit of close calls, but, finally, with a big heaving sigh of relief, Prompto managed to set the vase down on the counter, and then let out a groan and rubbed his face.

"Great," he said, "and now my coteacher is a plant."

He sighed and shook his head and looked out at the class. "So, yeah, sorry if that," he gestured toward the Gladiolus gladiolus, "is new to you, but sometimes that happens. Don't worry about it. Or do, we can talk about that, I guess, but, uh, the main point we were about to go into was that this is going to be a sort of review class? Like, show us some of what you've learned, either with one of the lessons you particularly liked or found really useful or just what your favorite kitchen tool or appliance you've learned about so far is. Pretty simple, right?

"And Gladio was going to have us all use the electric kettles or microwaves to make Cup Noodle^TM to enjoy, too, but, hey, maybe now the smell alone will bring him back, right?"

Like, if anything could pull Gladio back from a sudden transformation...that would probably be it!

Earth Cultures, period 2

"Today we're going someplace warm," Lana said. Look, this back and forth thing was ridiculous.

With no further ado, she led them through the portal.

"Welcome to Hawaii. Oahu, to be more precise. To be perfectly accurate, the Dole Plantation. It's where they sell pineapples, which are an interesting fruit that tries to eat you back. You can tour the gardens, have lunch, or go through the pineapple maze. We've got four hours and nineteen minutes here, so enjoy!"

Habits of Highly Efficient People [Monday, Period Three]

The projector was up in the classroom, which meant it was time for yet another movie class. "Totady we'll be watching a film that examines the idea that you should probably actually not be too efficient for the benefit of people you don't care about your well-being."

"And showcases bad archaeology practices!" Which, coming from Aphra, proudly self-describing rogue archaeologist, was saying a lot.
