Read the Room: Practical Self-Defense (Thursday, 12/19, First Period)
Kennedy had, in fact, left instructions for all the students to meet her in town today, at Pizza Planet. And also, if possible, to get there at least kind of hungry. When they arrived, they'd find an entire section of the restaurant reserved for them, and an absurd spread of pizza, calzones, pasta, salads, and drinks (all carefully labeled and separated as necessary to accommodate for various dietary restrictions) on the tables there.
"Congrats on making it through the semester," Kennedy told them with a grin. "Which is not so much just a in-this-class context as it is a general one, because Fandom. And also high school. And also I'm being serious here. You should be proud of yourselves. Thus, pizza sort-of-brunch party." Look, you didn't graduate from Fandom High and then spend almost nine years around people who went to Sunnydale High and not come away from it with a different perspective on what exactly getting through high school meant.
She gestured for them to grab plates and cups and help themselves.
And then cleared her throat.
"Buuuuuuuuuut. In case you thought you were getting off really easy? Take a look around this place, and while you're eating, come up with five different objects in here you could use as an improvised weapon, and five ways to use the environment around you to your advantage in a fight. This isn't a right or wrong answers deal, 'cause going back to that whole being-creative thing, it's all about knowing what you can do and playing to your own strengths. I don't expect all of you to fight the same way, so when you come up with your answers, I want to hear what you, personally, would use. Not what you think is the correct thing to use."
Kennedy put a couple of slices of pizza with possibly every meat protein ever piled on them on her plate, took a bite out of one, and pointed at the class with the rest of the bitten-into slice.
"Just not on an empty stomach, okay?"
Well, what are you waiting for, kids? Chow down.
