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!]

"You totally didn't have to do that, man. It's not your fault he can't handle a little sardine."
... A little sardine wielded by a DNA-enhanced top-ranking super soldier, granted.

"You think so? I'm kind of surprised that it was so easy, honestly. I don't usually go around smacking people with teeny little fish-things." There was a pause, and then he wrinkled his nose. "I guess, since we're in trouble anyhow, it's probably okay to get out of these dresses, huh?"
