Fast Talking, Monday, Period 2

[jedigrammarians]

The classroom looked relatively normal for one of Aphra and Isabela's classes. However, for anyone who'd been in one of their classes before (and was apparently a glutton for punishment) it looked an awful lot like they'd tried swapping clothes only to come undone at shirt sizing.

"Welcome kids to Fast Talking," Aphra, who was now wearing a bandanna, a gold coin necklace, thigh high boots, and was subtly trying to tug her tshirt hem down to cover more of her boxer-briefs, declared. "I am Captain Isabela the sexiest pirate to ever sail Fandom's waters."

"Not that that's hard," Isabela, who in addition to the shocking addition of trousers, had Aphra's helmet and goggles perched on top her her head and a vest that was never going to be able to be closed tossed over her usual shift and corset, said, not nearly quietly enough. "That Barbossa for one. I mean, I am Doctor Chelli Aphra, a dashing space archaeologist, stealing only from the most interesting tombs. Together we are going to teach you all about lying."

Aphra nodded. "When we're through, you'll be a master at recognising untruths." Something that may have been easier in some cases than others. "And telling them."

"Let's get started with introductions," Isabela added. "But you have to introduce yourself with a lie, and then your classmates will try and pick that lie apart."

Stewart took a moment, his eyes shifting from one side of the room to the other, as he considered the point of their deceitful diatribes and who was in the class that might be able to call him out easier than some, and, reaching his conclusion, he drew in a breath, lifting his chin, broke things down into a very quick dance move that involved a few bladed pop-and-lock robot arms and the standard spin before a slight bow and a generous sweeping of his arm in front of him.

"Those on the streets," he revealed, "know me as one of the founding members of his hit DJ megagroup 2cock Chakur, though my given surname is Stewart." He flashed a grin here at this no doubt Earth-shattering reveal. "My first name? Patrick, actually, and I may hail from the north, but I come from the south. Way south. Down under, mate." Why, yes, that was an accent. "I'm part Australian."

That's why he never tipped, you see.

"And," apparently, he decided to throw in a few easy ones, "I've never played hockey in my life, it's a boorish sport that I know nothing about, and anyone who does is brutish, uncultured swine on skates."

James Flint shut up I'm hilarious

Flint was definitely staring. Respectfully. Ish. "You're going to get stabbed in several uncomfortable places in garb like that," he finally offered.

You were looking for pirate expertise, right?

"My name is Charles Vane," Flint said, using his normal British accent. "I'm the captain of the pirate ship Ranger and am one of the most feared names on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. If I am caught by authorities, I will be tried and hanged immediately for my many crimes, but they won't catch me."

"Hi, my name is Beatrix, after my mom's sister, but I go by Trixie to make it easier to keep track of which one of us people are talking about or two during big family reunions. We have those at least twice a year, Christmas and Juneteenth, at Grandaddy and MeeMaw's house in South Carolina. I just turned twenty last Wednesday, and while I love sweet tea, my actual favorite drink is coffee."
