Combat 101, Friday Second Period
It was movie day in fighting class! The students would find their teacher absent and a screen set up for a film, so they could learn about boxing. It was educational.
ifwebeworthy2026-04-10 10:49 amCupcakes of the World(s), Friday, 4/10, Period 3
“Mexican cupcakes today,” Stark said. “Mexico is…right here, on our map.” The cupcake sticker count increased by one as Stark added it to the correct spot.
“So, these are a bit different. They have cheese in them. Not cream cheese. Queso fresco. And they’re more like a bread pudding, if you’ve ever had that, than a traditional cupcake. No frosting, really, but there are sprinkles!”
Sprinkles were great, okay?
“Right. So. These are called Capirotada Cupcakes and they have a coffee liqueur crema. I do like coffee flavored things….but you may not and that’s fine if you don’t like these. You can try the ones I brought in.” Because of course there was a platter of them available for eating.
“Any thoughts on Mexico before we begin? Remember I’m happy to help if you need or want that.”

Steve was in the front of the class again today, this time without Tony or the dogs.
He did, however, have a bunch of leashes that were not holding dogs.
"We're still running through the obstacle course," Steve said, "with these invisible dogs."
The imaginary dogs.
"They should listen better than our three real dogs do," he added optimistically. "Who wants to go first?"

Belle wanted to read up on Norse mythology. Or maybe she wanted to read some romances that were based on it. Maybe both.
Instead somehow she was moving several shelves worth of books instead. She wasn't sure why. They're had been a note saying things needed to be moved and so shrug was doing her best.
She was going to have to take a reading break soon.

Norse Mythology, Thursday, Second Period
"I realized we haven't really talked about the goddesses of Norse mythology much yet, and that's my mistake." He was preoccupied with the family drama side of things, which the women smartly stayed mostly out of. So today we're going to talk about the goddess who most directly impacts your lives today: Frigg, goddess of marriage, prophecy, and motherhood, wife of Odin. You talk about Frigg at least once a week: Friday is named for her.
"Now, where I'm from, Odin is married to Frigga, who sometimes goes by Freyja. Mythologically speaking, these are two separate goddesses, with Freyja being a goddess of love and beauty, but the names are similar enough that people do get them confused and some scholars argue about whether or not they were originally one goddess. If you'll remember the story we read last week, Freyja featured there. Freyja is also a goddess of the dead: she receives half of those who die in battle in her field of Folkvangr. And, fun fact, she rides in a chariot pulled by cats. Way more fun than goats, right?" Sorry, Thor. "And, because the Norse love a similar name, apparently, she has a twin brother named Freyr. Freyr, Freyja, Frigga, Frigg. Get it? Got it? Good."

Jane was still noticeably absent today, which was probably not a good sign.
"Today we're watching a movie about that game with all the weird dice," Cara informed them. "There's a shop in town if you feel inspired."
No doubt, Steph would appreciate all the increased custom that was sure to result from this!

The Long Con, Wednesday, Period 1 [4/8]
"I'd say I'm sorry for missing class, but I'm the one who got stuck as a cockroach for a few weeks, so I think you'll all deal with a few missing days," Constantine announced dryly once everyone had arrived.
Look, when Fandom was accurate with its animal transformations, it was accurate, and John wasn't going to argue with it. He knew what he was; an unkillable pest.
"So let's talk about someone that the world tried to stomp-out multiple times, but she never let it stop her from aiming high. Jeanne de Valois Saint Rémy, the Comtesse de la Motte, and the Affair of the Diamond Necklace."
( In the eyes of God and the world, I wanted my life to be as it should have been. )
"Jeanne schemed and scraped her entire life, determined to be recognized in her own right and not just resigned to the trash pile of Europe's royal bastards. And, in her own way, she succeeded, though not in the way she wanted. But that's the risk of the con, innit?"

Back in the classroom! Back in the desks pushed together with supplies in the middle! Had Kitty actually put the room back together after class last week? No!
"We're going to be making ornaments today," Kitty said. "I know it's April. You may not celebrate chrustmas. But there's nothing stopping you from hanging it on your window or something at any time of year. So have at it, let me know if you need more supplies."

Ethics, Tuesday, April 7
There are grand ethical choices to be made that change the course of history," Anakin said, "and there are the temptations to lie when you don't feel like going somewhere."
"After all, it's not like they can prove you didn't have itchy minerals," Ahsoka added.
"But there are some who feel they must be absolutely honest in all interactions," Anakin said.
"Still others might consider such a stance...ill advised."
"Which camp do you fall into, and how truthful would you like to be, even if being honest sent you to a family holiday you'll hate?"

Last week, the students had had pictures taken of their hands. If they weren't here last week, it happened before class today.
And then the students would be released into a small room absolutely covered with Polaroids of hands. Not creepy at all. Really.
Find the photo of the back of your hand. Fastest wins.

Beginning Gourmet Cooking Techniques, period two
Today class was back in the Danger Shop with their cooking stations, and each one was outfitted with an assortment of gelatin types, food colorings, small knives and spatulas, along with...syringes?
Hannibal nodded to them both and smiled. "Today, we return to gelled things, and we learn about agar." He showed them a number of flakes. "We will be making raindrop cakes. They are deceptively simple in concept, but you will want to ensure you get the mixture and procedure correct so that it stays together. I have enabled us to cheat by using this room to generate a refrigeration unit that will quarter the time it will take to set the cakes. Once you have the basic concept down, you will find a number ofmoddable mix-ins at your stations, and can work at using them for added flavor and color."
He demonstrated the proper way to dissolve and mix the agar, then waved them toward their stations. "Please ask if you have any questions."

"Yesterday was a holiday for Christians," Jon began today. "Today still is, in the UK. Also it's Passover for Jews. Holidays can be terrible times for people who have issues with distraction or overstimulation. Not that this is the worst of it; that would probably be December. But as now is when we're having class, we'll work with what we've got."
He shrugged. "Again, sleep and exercise came up as good coping mechanisms." But look, not every class could be napping or going for a walk.
"Another one, though, is saying no." Jon was really bad at this one. "Putting up boundaries and finding ways to enforce them. So I thought we could work on that today."
He waved at the whiteboard at the front of the room, then drew a line down the center. "On this side, let's come up with boundaries. Things we don't want to do, particularly on a holiday, although general ones are also fine. On this side, we'll come up with ways to say no to them."
He carefully wrote on the first side, Getting blotto. On the other side next to it went, I'm even more unpleasant. Then he turned expectantly to the students.

Cupcakes of the World(s), Friday 4/3, Period 3
“This weekend is Easter,” Stark said. “Which has eggs and rabbits and resurrection.” He knew there was more to it than that. “And chocolate.” He also knew there was more than that.
“And it’s spring now. Hopefully this means no more very cold weather. So the cupcakes for today are not Easter themed but they do have carrots and rabbits like carrots so I think it works. And they have chocolate, of course. The cupcakes for today are from Brazil! Where I haven’t been. Maybe someday.”
“So Brazil is here, on the map,” he said, pointing and then adding a cupcake sticker. “And here are today’s cupcakes.”
Those were not on the map. The cupcakes were on the counter in front of him under the cloche he’d just removed. “Bolo de Cenoura is the name for the carrot cakes in Brazil which aren’t the same as carrot cake here. These are much more orange.” In case you all couldn’t tell by looking at them. “And they have chocolate frosting. Which is the best sort of frosting. This is called brigadeiro frosting and that’s a type of chocolate candy, like fudge, only here it’s frosting.”
“So, we can try and make the cupcakes as usual or you can just eat some of these as usual. Or talk about Brazil. Or talk about other things. Or…I don’t know. Does anyone have anything they want to say before we begin?”

Steve was completely outnumbered by dogs today. "Hello!" he said while Patriot, Libby, and Fee did their best to trip him through Strategic Leash Choices. "Tony's in New York for a last minute board meeting. Today I've set up an egg hunt for the dogs in this field. The trick for you is to not let them run wild. They have to walk calmly to each egg that they sniff out. If they don't, Fee, they don't get the treat inside the egg.
He nodded, satisfied with the challenge before them. "Team up and pick a dog!"

The library looked better than it did yesterday but it was still in something of a state of disarray after yesterday's excessive gremlin nonsense that poor Arden had to deal with.
At least the scissors had been freed from their plastic prisons.
Some of the shelves remained a shambles though so Belle was going to tackle that. Try to tackle that. It might be a multi-day project. That remained to be seen.

Philosophies of Mana (Extended Edition), Thursday Per 3
They were finally done talking about white mana pairings; as the first color discussed, it would, of course, have the most pairings available to talk about. Honestly, she should have gone with black color pairings, because then she could have spent all that time talking about black and how great it was, but for some reason, the order of colors in her head was white, blue, black, red, green and there was no changing it. Probably a holdover from her childhood or something. yes this is another Magic joke, I am hilarious.
Today, for their first discussion of blue, the students found themselves in a beautiful bower, next to a brook of sparkling waters. Golden sunlight fell down to warm patches of fragrant flowers, while in other places, cooler, darker shadows loomed. Flitting hither and yon across the glade were tiny winged figures, ranging in size from pinkies to an entire hand: faeries. Don't be surprised, class, if you ended up with your hair pulled or supplies filched or other small mischiefs enacted upon your person. That's just what faeries were like.
( People would sooner savor sweet lies than chew plain truths.--House Dimir ) While blue/black can very easily be one of the strongest, most dynamic, and powerful pairing, it is also one of the easiest to fall to its own infighting, to be intractable and unyielding to its own opposing viewpoints, and has been known to become its own worst enemy."
And, having lived through a breakup of just this type, Liliana was inclined to put the blame squarely onJace blue's own shoulders.
No reason.

Norse Mythology, Thursday, Second Period
"Thor!" Don exclaimed brightly. "God of thunder! Probably the most familiar of the Norse pantheon to you on this island, since we have not one but two manifestations of Thor in residence." Ha. "Wielder of the hammer Mjolnir, husband--husband?--of the...golden-haired...goddess Sif." Excuse Don while he stared into the void for a moment. No, not that void. Okay, maybe also that void. "Did I mention god of thunder? And that he travels in a chariot pulled by two goats, surely the most noble of animals? Or that one time he cross-dressed and almost married a giant? It's true, and part of the Þrymskviða, which we will be studying today." Don passed around handouts of the story. "You will have to read it yourselves, I am afraid," because Don could not get through it without laughing and he didn't want Thor too mad at him. "And then we can discuss what we think of the story." And Don would continue trying not to laugh.

"Jane is...indisposed," Cara said, gesturing at the empty space next to her. "In case you somehow missed that."
She sighed and gestured to the screen. "Today's movie is apparently seasonally appropriate."
It wasn't. It really, really wasn't.

Fandom Library, Wednesday, April 1st
Arden glared at the gremlins who were having a hilarious time. Today she'd come in to find: googly eyes stuck everywhere; all the office equipment vacuum-sealed, especially anything with an edge; not only were books moved around but they were also put back backwards, their pages showing instead of their spines; Vaseline had been smeared on various door handles, and all the clocks had been changed to random times.
"I hate this day and I hate you," she muttered, trying to force open the vacuum-sealed scissors so she could get the pens free.
