Seven Secrets to Success - Period Five - Wednesday, 5/20

The Danger Shop had been made up today to resemble a standard mess hall with tables and chairs and such, all in regulation gray. There was, of course, one longer table at the front where the important people would sit, and the rations machines near the door for actually obtaining one's food. As the students came in, they were ushered with a little flutter of Rimmer's fingers to sit in the smaller round tables.

"Now then, as it said on your syllabus," a corrected copy of which had not been handed out since last class, "we will be learning how to impress one's peers and superiors while in a dining setting. Off-duty communication is of the utmost importance and your invitation to the officer's table is a mark of hard work and determination well rewarded."

One that he'd only been given once, but he wasn't mentioning that.

"At each table there are menus of different foods with only the names listed you can request from the ration machines at the back. Once you've picked something, you will return to either a table with another classmate or, if you're feeling brave enough, the officer's table at the front where I will be sitting.

"I will be observing you all carefully throughout and critiquing you on your choices. Students, feel free to point out the smegging obvious to each other if one your classmates has missed the point of the exercise. Wexler, if you're here, feel free to be especially scathing. We want people to learn here.

"Now get on with it! And not a word about that mess last night..."

Turtle is there and reporting for duty, while wondering exactly what was intended by scathing, as that wasn't exactly how she rolled. But this could be interesting...
