Doctoring 101

So, last week Navaan had told the class that she'd be explaining to them the finer details of seducing secrets out of people. In the time between that class and this one, there had been evil carnivals, battles, hugging, sleep, alcohol, sex, and illicit substances. Therefore, Navaan couldnt be bothered remembering what she’d said they would talk about this class and had come in with an entirely new class prepared.

Though, lets all be honest. Navaan probably wouldn't have remembered even if none of those things had been involved.

"So, it’s our last day to study doctoring!" she said when the class met up in front of Portalocity. "Which means it's time for us to sit down as a group, discuss the merits and flaws of taking this course and then my methodology as an instructor." She waited just long enough for that to sink in before cackling and waving that away. "Ha! Just kidding! No, don't worry, this last class'll be way more useful!"

Sorry, Ichabod.

"Like most of you saw last weekend, sometimes shit happens and we, as doctors, have a duty to stop it, especially when our patients' health and safety are on the line. At any time, we may be called upon to fend off the attacks of mad gods, evil carnivals, and the most heinous enemies of all, rival doctors. If you find yourself in that position, the easiest thing to do is straight up murder your opponent, preferably when they have no idea that you're there or even that you exist. You can't defend against an enemy you don't know is there!"

She sounded far too cheerful for this. On the other hand, a ridiculous number of your other teachers—and possibly even some of your schoolmates—would agree with her.

"If murdering them is out of the picture for some reason, like they already know what you're planning or they're spending all their time in the sun just so you'll explode if you try, you can also challenge them for superiority. I prefer to challenge my opponents to a trial by fuck, which is a fight without the bit before it gets sexy. If you're really good, you can combine this with the first idea and kill them when they least expect it, but that's only really effective if you've already come first."

It seemed Navaan had decided not to hold back today. At all. You're welcome? Either for this pure look inside her mind or for the past six weeks when she apparently had been holding back. Whichever works best for you.

"If you don’t think you can win a trial--or if you're pretty sure your opponent plans to use it to try to kill you, too--there are lots of other types of challenges you can issue. A drinking challenge is always good. You get to see who holds their alcohol better, which is always important to know, and, if it's you, kill them when they pass out! Games of chance or skill are good choices, too: beer pong, darts, billiards, arm wrestling, who can seduce the most people…"

Yeah, there was probably a theme here. And if you figured out how the final class was going to go, congratulations! That Bat guy might be proud of your deductive reasoning! Or just disappointed you hadn't found a way to escape the class yet. If you hadn't figured out what was up, then having the portal open up in front of a seedy, rundown looking pub in Navaan's world probably came as something of a shock.

For several reasons. But don't worry class! You probably won't get tetanus. Err, you all had had your shots, right?

"So, for our final class, you’re going to have a chance to rise to a challenge and see how you'd do against an enemy." Navaan explained, cheerfully herding them all inside. "Doesn't this sound fun?"

Ichabod Crane

Celia Bowen

Raven Darkholme

Karina Lyle

Anders

Eleanor Lamb

Joker Moreau

It's filled with information! Or at least words!

At least this was the last class. Ichabod tried to think about that when listening to Navaan's ramblings. Now, what would be the least painful assignment to choose?

Who was glad that she hadn't had to wear her seduction outfit again? Right here. Riiiiight here.

With her mind at ease, at least, on that front, Celia tried to pay attention to the lecture but was torn between relief at it being the last class, and trying not to look too guiltily at Eleanor ~~assuming she's there omg I am a modder~~.

Okay, Navaan says that no is allowed to actually murder anyone. She's pretty sure they'll dock her pay for that or something.

Instead, pair up and go through your doctor bags to see how you'd kill your partner if it came down to it. Most creative/efficient murder plot wins!

Anders assumed from past class experience that throwing a fireball at his opponent was right out. He pouted a bit at the lost opportunity and began rifling through his bag, looking for something a tenth as effective.

...You know, if this is something you and a partner want to try, Navaan's not going to stop you. There's a dirt ring out back and Vanka (http://oglaf.wikia.com/wiki/Vanka) is willing to act as a referee.

[Obviously, if, for some reason, folks decide they want to do this, bring it back to personal dorms once it gets past PG-13]

The pub does have copious amounts of alcohol, a dart board, a pool table & equipment, and a table set up with tankards for beer pong if that's your thing. There are also various moddable NPCs and bathrooms for you to vanish into if you decide to go with Navaan's listed challenges.

Otherwise, partner up, agree on a challenge to prove your superiority, and see who wins!

As a warning, this is not the Danger Shop, so any intoxication here will follow you back to the island!

Was it a surprise to anyone that Celia went immediately for the darts? She didn't especially expect to be challenged, given her notorious cheating, but still. It was nice to at least be able to practice something she knew she was half-decent at doing.

(Even if it did, indeed, involve using magic to bend the traditional rules a bit.)

Ichabod knew he would lose, but it really didn't matter much. He could always blame the fact that Celia was probably cheating, which, considering the class, was certainly acceptable.

"Do you mind if I join you?" he asked, raising an eyebrow and giving her an amused look.

"Of course not," she said with a bright smile, though she did roll her eyes playfully. "You'll keep me honest."

Because it was no fun to cheat at a game when the other party knew full well what you were doing, was it?

"Have you played before? It's really, stupidly simple. Hence the popularity with drunks."

"It is played even in my time, you know," he said, "although the board looks a little different. And I prefer stupid to insane, I have to admit." That last part was added with a glance at Navaan.
