Don't Do the Thing: Decision Making For Dummies [Tues, 3rd Period]

[jedigrammarians]

Class was in the Danger Shop today. Though it wasn't very exciting, just being an empty room.

Well, empty except for a large red button with a 'Please Do Not Press' sign next to it, and Aphra sitting in one corner.

Push the button? - DMD [02]

Rather than give you any clues, Aphra is playing games on her phone like the fine educator she is.

Any ideas?

Brash and impulsive as he was for a Zora, Prince Sidon liked to think he wasn't stupid as well. It was a class called Don't Do the Thing. The Thing specifically said Do Not Press, even with a polite Please. And the teacher wasn't saying otherwise.

He was absolutely not going to push that button. And he was going to announce, in case anyone got any other ideas, "I think it would be wise if we do not press the button. I can only imagine this is some sort of test in patience and control."

His eyes darted to Aphra for confirmation, though he had a feeling she wouldn't even look up from her phone. But he was already straightening his shoulders, puffing his chest and standing up straight, arms folded across his chest looking ready to affix anyone who even so much as thought about approaching that button with the most withering, disappointed look he could muster.

Peebee sauntered up to the button and made a show of idly reading the sign.

"But really now," she said out loud, "what do we think of the idea that Not Doing the Thing refers to following the instructions on the sign? Trick sign, anyone?"

Not actually pushing it herself, though. Just trying to see if she could get someone else to do it.

"Anyone got a long stick?" Or the Force, Theron didn't add.

Listen to Aphra - DMD [02]

[jedigrammarians]

After someone inevitably pushed the button, Aphra put away her phone.

"And that is why if you don't know what a button does, you should always get someone else to push it first."

Lesson taught. Go team her.

Pushing the button will result in the pusher being covered in fluorescent slime (colour moddable!). That's going to stain the rest of the day.
