Survive the Island, Thusday 3rd Period.
Cara had informed her students to meet her at the Danger Shop today, which was set to its default appearance.
"Congratulations, you are apparently the only students at this school with any small scrap of sense between you," she said once they'd arrived. "Now normally it's expected to do introductions, but I've taught all three of you before, so we'll skip those and assume you're here because you want to be more prepared for the dangers to life and limb that crop up here."
She fiddled with a control and a podium appeared with a small, green, scaly creature standing on it. "We'll start with something dangerous to your dignity. If you've had the good fortune not to encounter one of these yet, this is a gremlin, for the most part they live in the ducts, and I'm told if you say the word 'Marshakin' three times one will appear and bite the nearest Skywalker." Though it had been a squirrel that had told her that. "They may look more ugly than anything, but their fangs are sharp and coated in a venom that will leave you convinced that you are someone else entirely, often some place else entirely, and you will act accordingly. The island being what it is, you will somehow find appropriate clothing and props to go along with whatever lunacy your mind concocts. When the venom wears off, you will remember everything, in excessive clarity, and if you're truly unfortunate, there will be recordings." Because the universe hated joy.
"So, I want you to memorise what a gremlin looks like and discuss potential ways of dealing with them that avoid harm to all parties involved." Because trying to kill the little bastards would just make them targets. "Try not to get too close to the fake gremlin, I don't trust this place not to have given it working venom."

Because her first choice was always going to be 'bludgeon the thing with the pointy thing'.

She could bludgeon with that, too.

"They seem to prefer dark, enclosed places," she said. "Getting into the habit of checking before reaching into a closet or under the bed probably wouldn't hurt. It's like checking your boots for scorpions. Or snakes. Or spiders. Whatever people in the desert are worried about when they shake their shoes out."
