...And The One Time It Was A Draw, Thursday, Per. 1

[deathsmajesty]

Their last class together. Liliana wasn't particularly sentimental, but she would miss a class devoted to ranting about someone she particularly loathed. There had been minimal prep needed, mostly just making sure she had a thermos of warm tea and sometimes some maps. That would change next semester, and she enjoyed the ease while she had it.

But then the clock showed nine am. "Welcome to our last class," she greeted. "This is also going to be the class with the least information, sadly. There are many, many holes in this section of the historical record, in no small part because nearly everybody died." Nice, cheery place to start.

( The final battle )

"And that, darlings, was five times Urza ruined everything, and the one time it was a draw. Though, I do want to make it perfectly clear - this is not a full recounting of everything horrible Urza has ever done. It's not even a full recounting of everything Urza has done that we have records of. It's just a high-level overview of the stuff that we had time for this session. Anyone interested in further stories of his many, many, many atrocities will just have to buy me a drink sometime."

The Wonderful World of Pizza, Thursday, Period 3

"All right, guys," Raiden told his class. "This week we were gonna go to Sweden to try their unique spin on pizza, but my brothers convinced me that would be cruel." He was not going to expand on that statement. "So instead we're going back to Italy! Why not? We went to multiple locations in the US. It's only fair. So today we're going to Rome, and visiting Casa Manco, a pizza al taglio, or pizza by the slice, spot in the Testaccio food market--so you can do some shopping while we're here! Let's go have some fun and spend some money in Rome, huh?"

Finding (More) New Hobbies, Thursday Period 2

[stykera]

“It’s our final class together,” Stark said. “And I’ve brought a friend to help us learn about a hobby. Or it doesn’t have to be a hobby. It can be an entire job, too. So. Prompto is here. To talk to you, to us, about photography. Which some of you know about already. Maybe all of you do? Probably all of you do.”

Stark shrugged. He was getting close to babbling. Maybe it was time for Prompto to talk.

And Prompto had to grin a little, because it was rare when he was actually not the more awkward public speaker in a room. "Hi," he said, waving a hand, while his other held a camera. "I'm Prompto, I know some of you already, and those of you who do know me know that I am all about this thing." He held up the camera in the other hand. "My camera. And photography, which is a really great hobby because all you really need is a camera, and there's tons of different ones out there, from super fancy ones to even just the camera on your phone. I started my photography journey when I was a kid, and it was a really great way for me to explore and understand my world, and so now I'm going to share some of that with you guys. I'm going to talk a little bit about how to use a camera and basic tips for great pics, and then I've got some great Polaroid cameras so that you can use the rest of the class to give it a try and get to see the results right away without having to wait for the film to develop. While also having a cool physical copy of the picture, unlike with your phone!

"So let's get started!"

Stark nodded. “Yes. Let’s.” Look, he also wanted to play with the Polaroids.

Markets of the World(s), 2nd period

Lana welcomed everyone to Portalocity, smiling. "Today we're headed to Tokyo, to the Tsukiji Fish Market, which despite the name has a lot more than fish. It's one of the largest markets on Earth, and a huge tourist attraction, though it is still heavily oriented towards food." Not necessarily a downside.

"We've had to fuss with time in the portals so it's not night, so I've also gotten us four hours to explore. Some people will speak English, but if you're worried, you can get help at the information desk. They can also help you find anything in particular you may be looking for."

The portal opened up, and she waved them through. "Enjoy!"
