Diplomacy, Relationships & Tactics: the Art of War [Tuesday, Period 1]

[atreideslioness]

"Congratulations. It's the time of year where the island has decided to wage war on its residents via the insidious method of pollination," Ghanima said dryly as everyone settled in. Notedly, she did not have Trebor with her.

While Ghanima was capable of altering her own biology to remain unaffected by the pollen, Trebor was still under a year old, and Ghanima did not know how it would interact with his very Fremen biology. He was spending the week with his Auntie Alice, far far from Fandom.

"Let's all be honest with ourselves," she continued cheerfully. "Very little I say is going to make an impact today, so it's Movie Day, and you have a one-week extension on your homework."

You hadn't forgotten about your homework, right?

"The film is a bit longer than our class period, so if you can stay and wish to have a respite, you are more than welcome. If you'd like to finish it at another point in time, it will be on course reserves in the library starting tomorrow."

"If you require academics to soothe your brain, write me an essay on their deployment of tactics, and what Sun Tzu would think about their battle."

It's short and sweet. Ghanima will not go to war with libidos and attention spans.

She would pick her battles, thank you very much.

Even by this point in the day, nobody had been explicit enough about the pollen and its effects to clue Arden into what was going on, so she still assumed it was just a really bad hay fever epidemic happening, even if nobody here seemed to have any symptoms.

Maybe they'd taken her suggestion and stocked up on meds?

Still, a movie day was a movie day and she settled in to watch.

...And what she didn't know was that her own magic powers of air filtration were slowly getting overwhelmed.

As always, the classroom is set-up with large pillows, a few méridiennes, and other assorted comfy furniture. But today with the added benefit of treats on the table by the wall: hot tea, cold juices, various fruits, and cheeses are available to help soothe fraying tempers.

And one movie for your viewing enjoyment.

Talk to Ghanima

[atreideslioness]

She's around, and cheerfully unaffected by the pollen.

Being Pre-Born didn't have many benefits, but being born a full Bene Gesserit able to change her own body chemistry was one of Ghanima's favorite parts.
