Classrooms Around Campus, All Day Saturday

It was Saturday, and that meant Career Day! Unbeknownst to all the students who had taken the career placement test, Fandom had apparently conspired to place them all in workshops that didn't quite fit the answers they gave for their tests. The island was tricky that way. Not to mention that the workshops that the island had planned were somewhat different from the workshops an ordinary school might offer on Career Day. As in quite a lot different.

So the classrooms all around the school were filled with visitors from off-island and island alike, all of whom had been led to believe that they would be teaching eager-minded groups of students, excited to learn about their prospective careers. This assumption was not necessarily accurate.

"Of course." He was just a little embarrassed and strange. "Why wouldn't I be? Your lecture was just a bit different than I thought it would be. I don't know how I ended up here."

"You took some kinda test, right?" Brian asked, taking a seat in one of the empty desks next to Bod. "Maybe you've got hidden talent?"

OR MAYBE THE ISLAND HATED EVERYONE. It could be that.

Bod wasn't sure he believed that but it was still nice of Brian to say. "Thank you for that. I, uh, I don't know if there's any sort of hidden talent there. My ideas might be a little strange."

Well, hey, he didn't know. He hadn't seen any of Bod's stuff yet, after all. If he had seen it and thought it was crap, well, that'd be another story.

"Yeah? Let's see," Brian said, trying to sound encouraging but really just sounding forceful.

"You...want to see something I've done?" Bod asked, raising an eyebrow. "I don't do very well on the whole sex sells thing. I don't think that way."

Brian barely kept from rolling his eyes. Why, oh why had he agreed to work with high school kids?

"What did you have in mind instead?" he asked wearily.

"Can't something still be eye catching and risky even if it doesn't involve sex?" Bod asked curiously. "Maybe something unusual or even a little out of place?"

"Like...?"

Brian was losing patience. Sorry, Bod.

Bod looked momentarily abashed before saying, "If you're going to images of sex in advertisements, why not things that are a bit macabre if you're looking to catch attention? There are ways to set a mood without being overly graphic and if people want something different and eye catching, it seems to be that the proper music and a searing image would do it."

"Hmm," Brian said. He was at least pretending to be interested, so obviously he thought Bod was on to something. "So let's get to specifics," he said. "What product did you get?"
