Guiding the Powerful Yet Incompetent, Thursday, Third Period

[tellmehowstuffworks]

The class was meeting in an actual classroom today, with a screen ready to go. "Today we will be watching a film in which there are multiple advisor-advisee roles, none of which are, if we're honest, entirely successful, but somehow everything works out in the end--" Except for for Jafar, but honestly, what had he been thinking? A sorcerer's role was to be the power behind the scenes, not to take over. "--because that's the kind of tat this is. Also, this is not really a good introduction to how djinns work. It's my understanding that there is generally much less singing, but what do you expect from fiction? Enjoy."

"He should definitely listen more to the monkey," Shuri said. "Apu is wise."

"And much cuter than the bird," Belle said. Because cuteness was still a very important issue.

"The bird is so obnoxious," Shuri said, wrinkling up her nose, "like a few court advisors I can think of."

"They weren't birds, were they?" Talking animals were not outside the realm of possibility.

"Oh, not at all," Shuri said, laughing. "They were men."

"Birds might have been better," Belle said with a little sigh.

"I can think of one in particular where I would strenuously agree," Shuri said.
