When the public speaking students arrived at the Danger Shop, they would find the space converted into what was clearly a wedding reception: '80s and '90s dance music playing, kids running between dancers, older folks staring disapprovingly at the appetizers and muttering about how Swedish meatballs had been fancy enough in their day, and a bride and groom off in a corner getting their picture taken.

"Hey there," Josh said. "Today we're going to work on what will probably be a speech each of you will have to give in your lives: the wedding toast. Granted, you will know about having to do that for at least a month in advance, but let's be honest: you're going to be writing it on the back of a napkin in the restroom waiting for the photographer to stop taking pictures of the mother of the bride. I'm going to give you ten minutes and one admittedly fake cocktail to write your speech. To make it more interesting, here's the scenario you have to work with: you haaaaaaaaaaaaaaate the person your best friend is now married to. Plus you've now had that cocktail. Cause a scene, don't, it's entirely up to you."

He smiled a little fiendishly. "Enjoy. Oh, and you press secretaries today are Loki and Sparkle, so that should be fun."

Josh raised his hand. "If I have a hammer, and I hammer in the morning, and I hammer in evening, all over this land, how much of a case do my housemates have for justifiable homicide?"

"Well, now that would depend on how far from home 'all over this land' actually takes you, and if you're in the middle of home renovations," Sparkle replied, without missing a beat. "If you're hammering because you're a traveling carpenter, then your housemates really ought to be thankful that you're doing what it takes to get the bills paid, shouldn't they? And if not, then they're going to have to ask themselves just how badly they wanted that second bathroom with the jacuzzi, because those things just don't renovate themselves."

"Is it hammer time? Did you stop before declaring it so?" Look, his brother was Thor. He'd heard aaaaaall the hammer jokes out there.
