Cutthroat Games, Monday, May 6, 2019 [First Period]

Anakin leaned against a desk at the front of a classroom that had been modified with a series of card tables.

"We'll play more physically active games later on this summer," he began, "but today we thought we'd start out easy."

But if you thought simple board games couldn't devolve into physical violence, you've never played with Anakin and Aeryn. "I'm Anakin Skywalker," he said, pointing to himself. "Most you should know me already."

"I'm Aeryn Sun," she said, doing without the pointing. "A former student, and someone who frequently beats your other teacher at many things."

"Not at many things," Anakin grumbled.

This was your class, kids.

"Since most games don't work with seven people," he continued, "we'll have two boards set up. Today's game is called Monopoly, where you hoard money in order to buy fake properties and make your friends go bankrupt and hate you."

Sounds fun, huh? Hard to tell that Anakin wasn't from this planet sometimes...

"And since this game can go for several hours until you hate everyone you're playing with, we'll play till sudden death at the end of the class period," Aeryn added, which was maybe bad phrasing on the first day of a class called Cutthroat Games.

That was maybe why Anakin added, "There will be no actual deaths."

So reassuring to new students! Truly!

"Oh!" said Sidon excitedly as he settled (as comfortably as he could, which wasn't very, but he always made his best effort!) at the table with his new opponents in supposed real estate acquisition. "Why, I've never played this game!"

He hadn't really played many board games, really, but that hardly seemed to matter to the point at hand.

"How absolutely thrilling! I do hope at least one of us is familiar, though?"

Aeryn might actively encourage a board flip. It was the first week, after all.

"I'm Janet," she said. "Does anyone mind if I'm the car?"

"Go for it," Billy replied. "I call dibs on the rubber ducky because apparently that's a thing now though."

Hey, hang on a second.

"Oh, right. And I'm Billy. Hi."

"Lana," she introduced herself. "I don't even know what half of these things are. I'll be the ridiculous hat."

She picked up the thimble.

"Me neither," Entrapta admitted, her hair picking up several of the pieces to examine them. "What does it do?"

"I'm not sure they do much of anything," Sidon admitted, finding himself surprisingly torn between a tiny little duck and a tiny little big boat. "I believe it's more of us doing things with them, as they surely must be tokens to mark our places whilst going around the board."

"They don't move on their own?" Entrapta asked, flipping the car upside down to poke at it. "I can fix that."

...Entrapta, no.
