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 care
ers. This assumption was not necessarily accurate.

Rilla had, let's be honest here, very little idea of what this man had been talking about.

So the part that struck with her wasn't exactly a normal question: "Why is the first rule about not being a flower?"

"Because flowers get shot," said Taskmaster. Enlightening! "Look, I think you might be in the wrong classroom here."

She kind of looked... flowery.

"I double-checked my sheet!" Rilla told him. "Why are you shooting flowerth?"

Lisping right now would totally impress him.

"Look, we're talking about people who are like flowers. You know, limp, easy to kill." And now he was feeling kind of bad about this. Damn kid.

"If your pansies are limp, it just means you haven't watered them enough," Rilla lectured. "You just needed to take a little more care."
