Disaster! Or Opportunity, Actually? [Monday, 1st Period]
Today, the class were meeting down at the docks, Isabela looking in her element as she stood at the top of the Siren's Call's gangplank.
"We're going to have an adventure today," she declared once everyone had filed up onto the deck, looking very pleased with herself. "Because the sea is the perfect metaphor for this class, full of both danger and opportunity." And people of questionable skill.
Aphra, conversely, was looking somewhat sceptical, because being on a vehicle with absolutely no mechanical parts was wigging her out. "We're just going out on a quick trip out around the Isle of Ikea," she said, an extremely fake grin plastered on her face. "No problem!"
Isabela gleefully bounded over to the steering wheel and pointed to a random student. "You hoist the anchor! You raise the main-sail!"
Of course she wasn't going to explain how, it wouldn't be half as educational if she did that.

But don't worry, Isabela will keep yelling orders until you figure out what you need to do, and eventually you'll get there.

And since he was a Llewdor boy, born and raised, he came with a natural fascination with the sea. He'd never actually been on a ship before, though, so this was the best way to start a day ever.
Of course, Graham also couldn't swim, so he was trying his best (and sometimes failing) to keep toward the middle of the boat.
"Ooooh, what's the Isle of Ikea?" he asked, eyes wide and excited. "Are there monsters there? Magical ruins? Is it a deadly pirate hive of scum and villany? Is it volcanic? Do they have coconuts?!??"
Graham was making very good use of the space and the masts with flailing arms and gestures all throughout, too, of course.
