fandomhigh | Art of Seduction [Wednesday, Period Four]

Today's class was actually in a classroom, Bond stood next to large whiteboard as he waited for the class to arrive, looking slightly more chipper than usual.

"Good afternoon class," Bond began. "Today we were going to discuss first dates, but then I remembered just how a really good first date can end, and I decided it might be worthwhile to skip ahead slightly to make sure that if you do have such a date, that it has a happy ending. For both of you."

He paused a moment and then continued for the benefit of the entendre-impaired "I am, of course, talking about sex." Bond then proceeded to give concise, yet informative, explanations of the basic mechanics for both heterosexual and homosexual couples, using stick figure diagrams to illustrate some of the more popular positions for each.

"While the details of a person's sex life, or lack thereof, varies from individual to individual, one thing that everyone who has or is thinking of having sex should keep in mind is safe sex," Bond said, his tone serious as he began another series of diagrams. "Now, there are a variety of methods that can be utilised for safer sex. For example there is hormonal contraception, intrauterine devices, making sure your partner isn't working for a criminal syndicate, and a variety of barrier methods."

"One of the more highly recommended methods of contraception is the condom," Bond said, pointing to a particular diagram. "Not least because it is one of the few methods that prevent STDs as well as unwanted pregnancy. To help demonstrate the importance of proper contraception, we will be watching a short film on the subject, after which you may go, or stay to discuss the class with your fellow students."

Use protection, because if you don't Syphilis will come to your house and kill you with a chainsaw. For realz.

...hadn't he watched something on this in another class?

Arg.

This is his only reaction (WTF?) to the film and he feels a similar reaction to the guy he thinks he remembers from another class. He's also thinking it would be easier to discuss the horror of lessons if he actually spent time with some of the other students.

Liir looked over at the other student.

"What?" he asked quietly, hoping not to get in trouble.

He whispers, "Is there something inherent in the professors here that they feel the need to repeatedly discuss this particular topic?"

"I think," he whispered back, "it's to make sure we're aware of it. As some people don't think no matter how many times you tell them something.

"...or they're sadists."

"I figure, those who fail to think once presented with the facts are victims of their own stupidity and should suffer the consequences." Anyone care to venture a guess where he's been schooled?

"...yes, well, people here don't seem to use their heads on that one."

Liir agreed. It was very Ozian sort of thinking.

"Apparently not... if we continue to receive this lecture."

He frowns and tips his head. "I was under the impression this class was about seduction, which, from what I understand, is not the same as intercourse." Color him confused.

Yes, she's seen something like this before.

Her cheeks were going to be warm, no doubt, the entire class.

... oh, really. Jack had no idea what to make of this one, and just hoped he wasn't expected to take it seriously.

"But." George continued staring, this time at the images on the screen. That sound? Was the sound of George's brain breaking into a million little pieces.

...Right.

Emma was just going to be over here, laughing into her notebook.

"Mind if I ask what you're finding quite so amusing?" This is his way of 'branching out' and talking to people. It's a big step.

Emma just pointed to the film and kept giggling. "Where should I start?" she asked. "Bad acting, horrible script, and the fact they both deserve it if they're that stupid?"

"Oh. Well, then, I completely understand." He nods - as enthusiastically as he ever does (which is 'not very'). "I was beginning to wonder if all 'films' were this bad. My impression previously was that they were supposed to be quite well-done. The ones I've seen so far are not."

"Oh no. This? Is designed to scare children who don't know any better into never indulging in sexual activity," Emma answered, waving a hand dismissively. "Although it gets points for making references to safer sex. But it's still not a real film by any stretch of the imagination."

[Now with right log-in]

"Not a real film? So there are 'real' films that are not like this?" Despite his utter lack of teachings in the finer arts of sex, he knows about the reasons not to and things of that nature - he was subjected to the 'sex ed' class last semester and has been indoctrinated that way. "So this is meant as something of an 'educational' endeavor?" he asks of the ridiculous not-a-film.

"This what's known as a 'Public Service Announcement,' or PSA," Emma informed him. "Think of it like a little morality lesson, only visual. For those of the 'completely stupid' variety."

She looked him over briefly. "Not from anywhere around here, I take it?" If he didn't know movies yet, it was probably a pretty safe assumption.

"That obvious?" he asks, only less shy than he would've been several weeks ago. Maybe that sex ed class was good for something other than carrying around a sack of flour for a week.

"The question about films kinda gave it away," she admitted, offering her hand. "Frost, Emma Frost. You're... Michael, yes?"

His large hand meets her delicate-looking one. "I am," he replies with a polite nod. "Care to tell me about films that aren't boring, Miss Frost?" he asks, curious.

"Well, what are your taste in books?" she asked. "Or favorite activities? It's not fair for me to make assumptions about what you'll like when I barely know you."

Okay, she could cheat, but Emma wanted to try it the long way.

He arches an eyebrow. "I haven't read any books that were not assigned materials. And before coming here," he waves a hand indicating the realm of Fandom, "the only thing I got enjoyment from was fighting. Learning to fight, taking out demons." As odd as that might sound, it was normal for him.

The diagrams had been bad enough, but the film did nothing to make Morgana feel better about ever having to have sex.
