Keeping Your Advantage: Terrain and You [Weds, 3rd Period]
The students today might find the Danger Shop looking a little familiar.
"Anyone who has class with me previously knows I do not believe in the contemporary concept of a final exam," Ghanima said briskly, once everyone had arrived. Again, gone were the Imperial-style gowns she usually wore, but this time, she was clad in a stillsuit and cloak, minus the full rebreather. Water discipline and Fremen habits died hard, and Ghanima had not been able to bring herself to do this without being attired properly. She was flanked by twoNPC Danger Shop-generated Fedaykin.
"Welcome back to Dune," she continued, twirling her Maker hooks in her hands. "Today, you will have the option to undergo a Fremen rite of adulthood - sort of." Ghanima grinned, her eyes bright. "You'll ride the Maker."
"This is totally optional. Those of you who do not wish to try may sit on the designated dune to cheer on your classmates, and there is no shame in doing so. Fremen are raised from birth to ride sandworms, and you've only had one class about Dune."
A smaller sandworm appeared, and she proceeded tohandwavily explain how to mount and ride the worm, with her two programmed Fremen assisting.
"I'll be first-up the first time," she said, once the tutorial was done, "--and take it for a circuit around our facsimile of a desert. Then anyone who wants to try summoning their own sandworm can have a try."
[OOC: Apologies for late - I have the plaaaaaague and just got up. OCD is ready to ride.]

On the Dunes!
Re: On the Dunes!
The sandworms, though... those were worth sitting here, enjoying the view. They were... they were massive, impossibly so, and beautiful in a way she'd never get enough of.
The more she watched, the more she wanted to try, though...
Ride the Worm
The worm that came for her was a good 200 meters long - plenty of space for daring students to scamper up behind her with the help of the
NPCFremen.SUMMON A WORM
Unless you're afraid of heights. They are rather tall beasties.
