Don't Be Stupid, Friday, 1st Period

[wrongkindofsith]

The weather was still warm enough to hold class outside, so Cara had told her students to meet her out on the lawn.

"This is Don't Be Stupid," she began. "Hopefully the name is self-explanatory, but in case you need it spelled out, this is a class about learning to use your common sense, though the term is relative on this island. I'll come up with problems, you'll have to come up with solutions."

Spoiler, often these solutions were going to need to involve violence.

"But that's later, t's the first class, which means we get to do introductions, even though I recognise most of you already." She pointed at a random student. "You. Name, year, either what you want out of this class, or a situation where you were the only sensible one."

"Nevarra, in Thedas."

So not that Seeker of Truth, no.

Cara relaxed very slightly at not recognising any of those place names.

"And what does the Seeker do in Thedas?"

Notice how she was still using the definite article there?

"The Seekers," plural, Cara, "obey the Chantry and police her martial arms, as well as providing oversight," Cassandra said. "We are... investigators, tasked with ensuring the Chantry's wellbeing."

Cara had no idea what a 'Chantry' was, but that sounded sufficiently different to ease any concerns she might have had.

"Why, is it sick?" Which apparently meant it was time to be a smart mouth again.

Cassandra snorted. "I imagine the answer depends on who you ask."

"In this case I'm asking you."

Re: Introductions - DSB [01]

"It is not sick," Cassandra said. (She might change her mind on that in the years to come.) "Merely in need of upkeep and oversight, as with most things."

So they were fancily named bureaucrats?

"I see."

... sure, with swords and super powers and stabby interrogations.

Cassandra merely nodded to acknowledge Cara's acknowledgement.
