Beaching It [Week 3, Period 5, Wed. 7/21]

Sure there were scattered thunderstorms in the weather report for the evening, but today, it didn't stop John from holding class on the beach. It was hot and humid and completely the type of day to take a dip in the lovely bay water.

Today John sat at their meeting spot, bathing-suited up as they all should be, with large blankets set up all around. On the blankets were covered platters. They'd see what was in them in a minute. "Hey guys, girls...Rose," John greeted them upon arrival. "Today we're gonna talk about the sun's effects on people. So we've got our swimwear, we've got our sunscreen, now we've gotta stop ourselves from getting too tired if we're spending the day out on the beach. Which means water." He picked up a bottle of water and shook it as a nice visual aid there. "You've gotta stay hydrated. Drink a lot. But be careful with the alcohol. Sure, you kids are underage and I won't be giving you the booze in class, but if you choose to drink alcohol and lay out in the sun, your hangover's destined to suck. It's the hydration thing. Drink more water."

"Now, who's wondering about the silver platters here? I know I'm curious as hell," John flashed a grin. "Kidding. Well, along with drinking more water, you should keep up your energy levels if you wanna be able to play longer...you can take that dirty or not, it still applies. So what's energy? Food! Under those nifty silver covers you'll find a variety of foods. Your job? Decide which are suitable for consumption on the beach and which should be avoided. Use your judgment and share your ideas with the group. Or just hang out and get a tan. I'm cool either way." And then he left them to investigate those silver trays.

With luck there are sunglasses to block the glare and no storm clouds in sight. But hot is hot, people.

Alex was still mostly pissed off at the world so he was glad for his sunglasses to hide his eyes and his oh so pleasant demeanor behind.

Getting through the talking bits was always difficult for Ariel. This was particularly true when there was not only beaching things up to be had, but also food this time.

Leia was determined to, at least for a while, not dwell on the visitors from the past weekend or ~~bitching~~ talking to her father, so she tried to relax and listen.

Azula's made a decision, she wasn't going to stress this. She took one of those sunglasses even though she didn't really need it.

Try some food! There's anything you can think of under those silver trays. Marvel at how John managed this setup. Share your findings with others! What is good beach food? What is not?

Alex picked up one of the silver platters and found a few slices of pizza. That seemed safe enough so he was going to take that and wander over to hang out.

Food! Ariel was such a sucker for food, and the concept of trying to go for food that was going to be good for you seemed to completely be left in the wake.

Luckily, she just so happened to kind of fall in love with a bunch of yummy, juicy green grapes that were probably pretty darn good beach food.

Kitty had to peek under all the silver platters she could before deciding on what looked good. Call her nosy, and not wanting to end up with something she said "meh" to.

"Ooh! Fruit salad!" Robin thought this was perfect beach food if you kept it in a cooler. Plus the juices would wash off in the water!

Again, there's always time to just relax on the beach. Call up a friend to join you, John won't mind.

Rose paid enough attention to the silver trays to snag some water, chips, and a lot of fruit.

And then she was relaxing on the beach and just enjoying the sun.

Alex had water on one side of him and the pizza on another where he was sitting in the sand. He wasn't really paying much attention to other people though.

And now, the best part of the class! Ariel had snagged more grapes to bring with her and munch on as she sprawled out, kicked back, and relaxed. Ahhhhh...

Leia stretched out to soak up the sun (after applying sunscreen, of course).

Azula took the water, glanced at the trays and took her fill of fruits but she'd rather spend her time on the sand.

Where John and Rose can get talked at.

John snagged a bottle of water and peel-able fruit so he could ensure a sand free snack while he lounged around watching his class at work.

Jaina didn't know exactly when this class met, so her going to the beach to train around the end of the class was purely accidental. But since she was here, she thought she should at least head over to say hi. And to see if things were weird at all now.

"So this is how you make your living here," she said, almost appreciatively.
