Try Not to Die, Monday, May 18, 2026

[sith_happened]

Anakin and Ahsoka were in front of the Portalocity market with sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen for the class. Because safety first when trying not to die. "Are you sufficiently prepared for this first adventure?" Anakin asked, looking the class over. "Possibly."

"In any case, we'll be easing you into it." You know, for somewhat deranged Jedi standards of take it easy.

"Nothing will be trying to eat you today, which is more than generous," said the man with a lava river.

Ahsoka debated how reassuring pointing that there probably wouldn't be anything trying to eat them most weeks would actually be.

"We are going to Madagascar today," Anakin said while Ahsoka pondered. "It's that big island on the map near the continent of Africa. Put on your sunscreen, and your hats so we can find you."

The hats were various shades of highlighter green and orange.

It wasn't hard to guess who had chosen them.

He had an aesthetic, it was true. "Don't get lost. We'll see you at the final meeting point," Anakin said.

Let's Eat! Monday, period 3

Hannibal looked at his "class" when they met at Portalocity.

Apparently this term would be a lot of dinner dates with him as a third wheel.

"Welcome to you both," he said, giving them a polite nod. "If you have any requests, please let me know. I thought I would begin with something I know you will appreciate."

He bowed them through the portal and onto a street in Tokyo. He led them around a corner and past a long line, explaining to the person at the door that they had reservations.

And then they were in Ginza Hachigou, a ramen restaurant. Look, it was the closest to Cup Noodle Hannibal was willing to get. There were six seats in the restaurant, which was nicely and minimally appointed, and the smells of cooking meat and onions wafted throughout.

"They have earned several Michelin stars here, and the owner and chef, Matsumura-san," Hannibal paused to give the man a friendly bow, "has an impeccable reputation."

Various Beach Things- Monday- 2nd period

[throughaphase]

It was hot. So while class met at the beach, there were also umbrellas and coolers of water set up. You were doing summer right, kids. Just jumping straight into it.

"Welcome to probably the least class-y class you're going to have this term," Kitty greeted them. "We're going to do various beach things. Some sports, some lazing about.... Spoilers: there's going to be a Memorial Day beach party next week, tell your friends." Listen, when you had a beach class on a holiday, take advantage. "Today we're doing nothing. If you want to get in the water, get in the water. Otherwise you can just pick your favorite towel from a selection and hang out with a trash beach read, of which I also have a selection. Also, if anyone can't swim, you should let me know now."
