How to Make Friends & Influence People | 4th Period | Monday

[built_fjord_tough]

This week for their final, students had been directed to meet in the danger shop... and to bring beach gear, if they had any. And once they arrived on the beach, they'd find all sorts of things set out for them to do; a net and ball for beach volleyball, a firepit for cooking meat (or fish) over, and a cooler stocked with all sorts of non-alcoholic drinks and foods, which were most certainly more real than anything else in here.

Well. Not anything else in here. There was also the matter of the creepy animatronic display right in the middle of the beach volleyball area, spread out all the way to the firepit. Elves, penguins, stiffly-moving polar bears, all of them wearing swimsuits with varying holiday patterns on them, looking ready to surf their way to Santa's workshop.

Fjord was looking at them with some mild irritation.

"Figures, on the last day of this class and everything," he muttered.

Carter looked between Fjord and the… well, they were rather creepy, though it pained him to admit it, even to himself. He felt rather helpless, but at the same time the animatronics weren’t doing anything wrong, aside from crashing their class.

“Yes, well…” Carter shrugged a little, then glanced at their students. “Beach party today! And… well, I do hate to say it, but if any of you can get rid of our… guests… I suppose that Fjord and I might be able to find a way to pay you back.”

Fjord glanced at Carter momentarily, and then broke into a little smirk.

"An entire pizza for each student who participates in ridding the beach of the automatons," he announced. "Put some of that influence to good use, hm?"

Smash them. Fjord wanted you to smash them.

Carter hesitated for a moment there. Because, yes, he… he knew where this was leading. After that moment, though, he bowed his head and said, “As Fjord has decided. Pizza to those who aid us today.”

And he… he was just going to look the other way about this.

Listen to the… lecture?

[built_fjord_tough]

Does it still count at a lecture?

Get your smash on!

[built_fjord_tough]

You want pizza, right?

Okay, maybe, just maybe, without the intention of getting himself pizza and just because he kind of wanted to, Sidon would have to take a moment before leaving the class for the day to just pick one of the automatons up and just...chuck it into the ocean with a little hup!

Because, though there had been a few times where he wished he could, there were simply not enough opportunities for him to just throw things into the ocean in an effort to just be rid of them.

Breq didn't particularly have anything against creepy animatronics, but she stomped on a few and kicked a few others.

It wasn't just to get pizza, obviously.

Well, of course Peebee wanted pizza. And Peebee also reveled in a little chaos.

So of course she was happy to use her biotics to yank a couple of the automatons up into the air and let them wildly careen around in the air for a few moments before smashing them together. She’d be happy to keep this up all class, people!

Lana shrugged and lifted her hands, then sent streams of Force lightning at one of the things, twisting it as it melted under the onslaught.

Party On!

[built_fjord_tough]

There are foods, games, water--everything the beach could offer is here! Go forth and party!

There are no cookies.

Sidon was fond of pizza, it was true, but he was even more fond of water, and they were coming into winter, where he could get a pizza whenever he wanted, but his swimming options would be limited to the terrible pool in the dorms and the onsen where they frown upon actual swimming.

So Sidon was getting in that water and had no intention of coming out until the end of class, though he did hope at least few of his classmates would join him out there, too. Though it was clear he'd be content with just diving in and disappearing under for a while by himself, too.

Talk to the Teachers!

[built_fjord_tough]

Who have decidedly different opinions on basically everything!

Fjord was here. And maybe felt just the smallest bit as though he had won some small victory today.

OOC!
