fandomhigh | Big Thinking, Deep Drinking [Fri, Period 5]

This week, class was being held on the beach (sorry, Navaan), with a number of large umbrellas and cabana lounges were set up, along with a pop-up bar were various rum cocktails (and mocktails) were being served.

This is what happened when Isabela got to choose the venue. "Welcome," she greeted them, waving a violently pink drink at them. "You know, last week we didn't get into what philosophy actually is."

"It's basically thinking about thinking." Friendly reminder that Aphra was in possession of a Ph.D. so she knew what she was talking about. "Because people are weird and like to overthink everything, and somehow, if you ask the question why enough, someone will come up with an answer. It mightn't be the right one, but it's sure to be interesting."

"Especially with booze involved," Isabela helpfully added. "So today we're going to asking each other that question, why? And seeing what answers spring to mind when you're sufficiently wasted."

'Why are you like this?' was a perfectly valid question.

Or just enjoy your drinks, you'll get about the same value out of them.

With the class on the beach this week, Yukari had definitely dressed accordingly in her cute bikini, enjoying the biggest drink with the tiniest little umbrella she could get, and only half-listening because she was mostly just sighing contentedly and thinking about how much better this drinking class was than the last one.

Not even remotely sorry about it, either, Dean!

Ben was enjoying his ridiculously fruity frozen drink, complete with a cocktail umbrella he was offering to one of the porgs.

They looked very happy to have it. Ben thought there was probably some philosophy in that.

Why are we here? What is our purpose? Why do you keep signing up to these classes?

Ask any deep and meaningful question you can think of, and try to answer everyone else's.

"I generally believe," said Yukari, simply and confidently, "that anyone spending too much time thinking about all those whys and reasons have way too much time on their hands and could really stand to find a better, more interesting hobby."

"I believe my purpose is to kick the universe in the arse at every opportunity," John laughed. "--unfortunately for me, I'm like a counterbalance for certain magical problems."

They're here!

...

Navaan will not be in class today because vampires explode in sunlight, omg!
