Fandom Library, Wednesday, December 17th

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

How were they literally a week out from Christmas? Arden was not prepared. Arden was the opposite of prepared. And Arden wasn't about to get any more prepared during her shift today. Yes, the candles that had shown up today were very pretty and she loved how not flammable they seemed to be, but she didn't love how hard the gremlins were working to test that inflammability.

So yeah, her day was spent running around and keeping gremlins from trying to light the library, the books, the furniture, and themselves on fire.

"None of these things are the lights of Hanukkah, you jerks!" she seethed.

Food Adventures, Thursday, First Period

[carbsliftthespirit]

"Sorry about last week," Raiden told his students. "I was a dog." It was none of you's first day in Fandom, so he didn't feel like he needed to expand on that. "This week is our last week together! The semester really flew by, huh? There's so much more food out there...but we'll save that for another semester. Next semester, if you're a kitchen disaster or you just need to brush up on your skills, I'm teaching a cooking class! It'll be fun! I hope.

"Last time I taught this class, we went to India for our last class, and when I thought about all the great food we haven't tried yet, I decided, why not repeat a banger? So we're going to Delhi, the capitol of India, home to over twenty-eight million people and the second-largest metropolitan area in the world after Tokyo.

"Now, Delhi has a strong Punjabi influence, but because it's the capitol people from all over India have come here, so there are other influences from all over the country, which means you can find all different kinds of Indian food here--and yes, there are different kinds of food, because India actually has a lot of different cultures and languages. A lot of the food in India is vegetarian, due to strong local religious influences, but we'll also be trying various meats today, and most of the food will be full of spices, because they're plentifully available in this region--and they happily adopted ones that came from abroad, like the chili pepper--and they make things taste good. So, uh, I hope you're down with the chili pepper. Today we're gonna go on a food tour to experience as much as we can in as short an amount of time as we can, so let's go!"

Space Pirates! (Pirates in Space!) [Wednesday, 1st Period]

[good_for_six]

Class was in the Danger Shop, and your teachers were actually there. Isabela stood at the wheel of the increasingly improbable star ship, and Aphra was making a show of looking though a pair of electrobinoculars.

"It's our last class today, and we've trained you well for our maiden voyage through the stars." Had you Isabela? Had you? "Luckily, it should be easy sailing."

As if very subtly prompted Aphra waved her hands and yelled "Enemy fleet to starboard!"

Was she going to elaborate on which enemy it was? No, Aphra had far too many to pick one.

"To stations, crew," Isabela declared. "They'll never take us."
