Fandom Invasions: A Survival Guide- Friday, Period One
"It occurred to me," Jono mused as he stepped into the classroom for today's lecture, "that while it's easy enough to get you to put together emergency kits for my class covering the defunct support reserves, and to tell you to swing blunt objects around for the martial reserves, it's not half as easy to teach you all how to make use of powers in the event of an invasion. Most of our students don't have any, after all. And my own knowledge of how powers actually work in a fight scenario is limited to a few very specific skill sets. I can't even really start listing off specific powers, because every world that has them differs in how they manifest, from magic to mutations to realities with everything in between."
He pursed his lips momentarily, wondering how the hell those in charge of the magic reserves actually managed to come up with all-inclusive exercises. The answer, of course, was that everyone attending them had powers.
Sigh.
"Today, we're going to just have a discussion class," he shared. "Share your experiences with powers, be they magical or biological, with the group. It can be a simple explanation of what abilities people have in your world that go above and beyond what a baseline human might possess. You can reminisce about what your feelings were, the first time you witnessed somebody using powers here on the island. If you have powers of your own and you're willing to discuss them, you can do that, too. I want to keep today's class fairly open-ended, and exceptionally open-minded. Detention goes to the first person who says anything vitriolic about other people, powered or not. I'll not tolerate any sort of prejudice in my classroom."
He wished he didn't have precedent to set a rule like that. He really did. But, well... mutant.
[Open!]

Lecture!
Jono does that talking thing that he does so well. Listen, take notes, pass notes... whatever suits you best.
Discuss!
It's not a particularly focused discussion topic. Jono is okay with that. Just keep it civil, and he'll be even happier.
Re: Discuss!
She hesitated, like she wanted to say something else, but kept her silence.
Re: Discuss!
Talk to Jono!
Yes, there's a mouse sitting on his shoulder, rolling her little mouse eyes at all of you.
Talk to the TA!
Re: Talk to the TA!
It was certainly different than anyone else on island!
OOC!
