Avoiding Drowning, Monday, November 17

[sith_happened]

Today, Anakin and McGarrett has the students down by the beach. In mid-November. Don’t let Navy SEALS plan lessons. "It‘s too warm still for a true polar plunge," McGarrett began, "but it’s important to know how your body reacts when it hits cold water. Go dunk yourself completely and then come out and we‘ll guve you a quick lesson on hypothermia."

"Sounds delightful," Anakin said dryly.

Cryptozoology, Monday period 2

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

Class today had been handwavily requested to meet at Portalocity and dress for the cold. Jon waited for them all before he started.

"Today's class we're covering the tatzelwurm, a creature of the Alps. And since this weekend was..." he sighed, "less than ideal," meaning he'd spent the entire time curled in a corner terrified of spiders and books, "we're going on a field trip."

The portal opened, and he led them through to a lovely town set in the mountains. "This is St. Moritz. In the Alps," he added, just in case anyone was unclear. "The tatzelwurm is a creature averaging about a meter in length. It's supposed to have a cat-like face with large teeth and formidable claws, and be otherwise reptilian and scaled, and either brown or green to blend in with the environment. It was first supposedly spotted in 1779 by Hans Fuchs, who was so frightened by it he had a heart attack. He survived only long enough to tell his family what he had seen. There have been numerous sightings since then, as well as one photo in the 1930s which is widely believed to have been a hoax. Given the lack of other evidence, I'm inclined to believe it's a cat with mange."

He waved at their surroundings. "So, I've managed to get us four hours. Go looking for a tatzelwurm, find a cat to pet, or just enjoy the tourism."

Flight and Flying- Monday- 1st period

Jaina had started her day with squirrels asking her to do radio, and then she'd had an argument with a kid older than her who said he was her kid about whether she should be out unattended teaching a class. And then she'd snuck out of the house to teach a class.

Adult Jaina was gonna get a lecture from a couple of eight-year-olds tomorrow.

But today she'd actually sort of managed to program the Danger Shop! It'd been a fun challenge, even if she didn't know enough about many kinds of ships to do anything specific. But she could make it into a giant hanger with starfighters in it!

"Hi," Jaina said, with all the authority a seven-year-old could muster. "I'm your teacher, and today you get to play around in ships.you can pick any you want, just don't fly them out so no one gets in trouble."

They didn't fly, she wasn'tthat good at programming yet.
