Being a Proper Sea Dog, Friday, Period 3 [Session 3]
Today's class again met in the Danger Shop, and again Hook had programmed a three masted vessel for the activity of the day.
"There we are, there we are. Everyone here and ready?" Hook said, after the class had gathered. "Jolly good job with the rope work last week. Jolly good. You all got up and went straight into things, and for that I applaud you, at least figuratively."
He paced back and forth on the deck a bit, as he spoke.
"As for today, the activity on the syllabus is an exercise in following orders. Which is simple. On the sea, there are instances where you'll have to put your own mind aside and follow orders so that you and the rest of the crew survive. Originally I had something rather harsh planned for today, but given recent events I've decided that would be bad form. Instead, I'm going to test your limits."
He opened a large chest on the deck of the ship, which contained several frilly pink dresses (including one frog-sized). He also gestured to a barrel which was full of dead, whole fish (and one sardine).
"Everyone is to pull on a dress, grab a fish, and slap another student across the face with it. Not hard, mind you, I don't want any permanent damage. A slap, not a wallop. If you find that too difficult, I can provide other orders, if you really feel you can't follow them."
He snapped his fingers. "Chop chop, get to it. This is an object lesson. Don't object to it unless you're ready to present a very good case for why you should mutiny."
And perhaps that was part of the object lesson as well.
[ooc:OCD first, plz. Up and ready to go!]

Now he was gonna have to do laundry. Maybe he should have put on the dress.
He didn't actually want to touch a dead fish because that was just friggen gross, so he used that nifty telekinesis (there were no rules against that, he was sure of it) to lift it back off the ground and then lightly tossed it in the direction of Nico's head. Which wasn't very nice, sure, but he wasn't very nice, despite what Percy said.
