Jack of All Trades, Wednesday, Per 1
The Danger Shop was set up for a movie day today, with comfy chairs and bean bags and a refreshment counter just like at the movies, only without the outrageous price-gouging. By the time the students arrived, Hardison was settled in, long legs stretched over several bean bags, eating popcorn that looked like it had been liberally dusted with the same orange cheese-flavored powder that covered Cheetos. A super-sized bag of gummy frogs and a two-liter of Orange Squeeze sat on the floor next to him.
"Hey, y'all," he said, giving them a wave. "So, I decided that y'all deserve a movie day today. Come in, get comfy, get some snacks, an' we'll watch an old classic about adventures on the high seas."
After everyone got their snacks and settled, Hardison hit a button and the movie sprang to life around them, giving them a 3D view, as if they were sitting on the stage in the middle of a play. Unfortunately, rather than starting at the beginning, it started almost a quarter of the way through, when the main characters were already on the ship and underway on the voyage to the island. "Oh, sorry 'bout that," Hardison said, and hit another button.
And suddenly their snacks and chairs were gone. Rather than being observers in the middle of the set, they were part of the movie now, onboard a pirate ship, on the open sea.
"...This was not what I had planned," Hardison muttered.

Re: On a Pirate Ship
Nodding at her, he stood back up. "You get home a'ight, y'hear me? It's homework or whatever."
Re: On a Pirate Ship
Her head was pounding and the adrenaline crash was leaving her exhausted. Maybe a nap, first, in an empty classroom.
"Thanks, Mr. Hardison."
Re: On a Pirate Ship
He wasn't going to ask her if she was okay again or offer more help, but he lingered another moment, just in case.
