Fandom vs. The Real World- 2nd Period- Class #6

[can_be_more]

"Congratulations, by all reports everyone survived the weekend," Aeryn greeted the class. "Luckily for everyone nothing strange rained down from the sky or invaded. I want to take a moment to talk about whether your relatives or friends had any trouble adjusting, and whether you had difficulties explaining anything to them."

Once the discussion was over- and yes, Aeryn found it strange that her class ever had anything to do with talking- she continued, "One of the things you've undoubtedly found is that sometimes you need to release stress and frustration. This is something you've probably discovered in the course of your lives, not just here. If you haven't, I envy you. There are a lot of methods for dealing with it that are either bad, or frowned upon, such as drinking your sorrows away, or killing people, so... don't do them." The last part she didn't so much agree with, but. "Instead, we're going to focus on a healthy physical release. I present to you the foam bat. You can hit people, walls, yourself, it doesn't matter, it won't hurt them. That's what you get to do today. Just leave the padding on, I do not want to send anyone to the clinic."

Short as it is.

How'd your visitors fare?

Re: Discussion

Raven hadn't had friends or family (thankfully) visiting Fandom that weekend, just the strange young man who tried to take her from the island, and she wasn't exactly sure she wanted to get into that in class. So she remained quiet and just listened to the others.

Illyria considered how best to phrase it for about 0.2 seconds. "I believe my...guardian... has reached a state of complete invincibility to surprise. He was untroubled by anything but me, and that is nothing new."

Re: Discussion

"Naught at all surprised him?" Beka asked. That was impressive.

Re: Discussion

[bitchy_smurf]

That required more than .23 seconds of consideration. "I believe he may have been mildly taken aback to learn that I've not yet grievously injured anyone here."

"He sounds very... amiable," Worf noted.

Re: Discussion

[bitchy_smurf]

"I believe the correct descriptor would be 'intoxicated.'"

"She went home, thank the Light," Mat said, rolling his eyes. "And if you talked to a short girl named Egwene, none of the stories she was telling about me were true."

Re: Discussion

[trigons_child]

"What did she say?" Raven asked. Kissing Mat on the roof was one of her few recent good memories, so that was enough to break her silence.

Re: Discussion

"Knowing Egwene, it would have included the terms woolheaded, lecherous, trouble, and don't," Mat replied, making a face.

"He was fine but I'd prefer if he hadn't visited," Azula said.

"They partied and we all learned an important life lesson," Yakko said.

"I had no visitors," Worf said crossing his arms. "And I am fine with that."

Smash it with a hammer- er, foam bat

[can_be_more]

Everyone can happily take a harmless foam bat. Hitting each other is not necessary, and they're just sort of fun to play with.

Re: Smash it with a hammer- er, foam bat

Beka didn't need to hit aught, but she was curious so she picked up one of the bats. It even bounced a bit when she lightly tapped a desk.

Mat was wondering if he could sneak one of these out of the classroom. It'd be fun to use in the dorms.

Yakko was using the foam as a pillow for a nap.

It was probably the safest thing he could possibly do with it.

Talk to Aeryn

[can_be_more]

Who usually goes the killing route, but gotta be respectable for class.

OOC

Dude, I have the next three classes planned out, but today? Zero inspiration.
