Fandom High School

Apparently Edmund did have a toothache, as he is off to the mainland for a dentist's appointment, leaving his class in the oh, so capable hands of Mr. S.O. Baldrick.

( And we know Baldrick's a brilliant teacher... )

[ooc: This class is open to passers-by because it is taking place on the street outside All and Sundries. Yes, the mun has yet another dental visit and I'm leaving this in Baldrick's capable and oh, so moddable hands. For trebuchet users, All and Sundries is located at 21 Loon Drive. Bear that in mind when aiming the trebuchet. It's also not large enough to fire cows, just turnips, and the shop is far enough down the hill that it should not impact the school/dorms/etc.]

Edmund is once again sitting on a stool behind the counter.

"Currying favor. It's a grand tradition. Call the person who curries favor well what you will, sycophant, lacky, brown noser - the fact of the matter is that the person who kisses up to the owner and the customer the best is the one who is going to get the promotions, the raises, and the days off when he or she asks for them."

Edmund stands up and favors the students with a smile that, by now, most recognize bodes ill for someone.

"Today you will break up into pairs and will be competing against your 'partner' for my favor. He or she who wins my favor will receive an All and Sundries gift certificate. How to win? Insult your partner, clean my shop, come up with a way to convince Baldrick to bathe, do something to make me happy. Succeed, and you win riches and possibly early dismissal. Fail, and you will be here for the entirety of today's session and I will send Baldrick to recite the grand tale of his great-grandfather's boil to you - the unexpurgated version."

All and Sundries is, frankly, a mess. Baldrick moves quietly through the store sweeping and gathering up debris, but it's fairly obvious that there was some sort of ruckus here recently.

Edmund stands by the cash register waiting for the students to all arrive and sign in. Once they are assembled, he begins.

( War... )

"Your assignment is to insult at least one person this week and have them not catch it. I expect a complete reporting of that in our next session. Failure may at your mun's discretion be rewarded with detention."

[ooc: Break up, chat, insult each other. I'll be along as soon as I can to have Blackadder deliver his critiques, but I'm on PST, so it will be later in the day for the east coasters.]
