Class had been told to meet at Cafe Fina, which was set up for a very late brunch.

"Congratulations, on reaching the end of the session," Isabela greeted them cheerfully. "We've covered some very important topics when it comes to loot, but there's one more still to go."

"Enjoying it," Aphra said sagely, sipping on a mimosa. "You could just hide it all away for some other adventure to find a hundred years after you die, but that's boring, not when you can spend it on all kinds of things."

"Like wine, women and song," Isabela suggested. "So today we want you to think about how you'd enjoy the fruits of your labour while enjoying ours."

And by fruits of their labour she meant they'd raided the class budget to pay for this, again.

They were meeting in an ordinary classroom today, though ordinary classrooms didn't usually have a sizable pile of delicious candy treasure in the middle. "So we've established that teamwork makes the dream work," Isabela said. "But it also adds in complications."

"Namely, teamwork involves people," Aphra added. "And the kinds of people willing to go on a treasure hunt aren't always the kind that are good at sharing." For example, her.

"So today you get to figure out how to divvy up the loot," Isabela said. "If you don't come to some kind of agreement by the end of class, then as a pirate captain I get to keep the lot."

Today class was being held in the art room, where the tables were set up with all sorts of beading and jewellery making supplies.

"So now that you've had your first taste of loot." Literally. "Next comes the question of what do you do with it," Isabela started. "Assuming you don't blow the lot on wine, women, and song."

"Now some people would suggest stashing it away in some kind of vault," Aphra added. "While others just consider those a temptation." Not naming names or anything.

"However, some of us believe in the grand tradition of showing off our booty," Isabela. "So that everyone can see just how successful you are."

"So today we're going to have a little arts and crafts session, so you can work out how you'd show off your hard won gains."
