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 of moddable 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.

The new-mama cat and her litter were doing quite well and had been moved to a larger cage, to accommodate the little ones' slowly increasing desire/ability to explore their surroundings.

And if Caleb didn't know better, he'd swear the semi-feral Kitten (whom he'd taken to calling Samantha, and who was becoming less feral by the day) was getting a little jealous of the attention he was giving them. She no longer hissed at him when he approached, allowed him to give her scritches even, but still balked at being handled. And she meowed any time he seemed to be looking in the direction of the youngins.

"You're still my favorite, kid." he assured her. "Us strays gotta stick together, right?"

All of Rey's tools were Twizzlers today. She didn't know why, and she knew she couldn't fix it, so she didn't care. But everything was Twizzlers, and therefore unusable today. They were too floppy.

She was still trying to get work done by using things like pens in lieu of her tools. It was the principle of the thing.

Gregorith had been given the option by Blathers to take the day off, but Gregorith had most of the week off so he'd opted to come in for at least a few hours in the morning.

He'd spent the first hour hiding candy and small toys (some of which he'd made himself) throughout the museum, and put a sign out front inviting folks to come hunt for them.

The Museum is open for knowledge seekers, or the hunting for munchings, crunchings, or small things to put on your shelves or desks.

though tis the day of the big fambly gathering for the mun so I will likely be afk for a big chunk of the day. Happy Spring Holidays everyone!

“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.

I was teaching honestly from the recorded myth!

"Mm-hmm," Thor agreed as he organized the glasses behind the bar. "You will apologize to the goats."

I didn't say anything bad about Toothgrinder and Toothgnasher, Don lied through his teeth. I love Toothgrinder and Toothgnasher. He didn't bother pointing out that the goats weren't alive to need his apologies at the moment. Maybe by the time they were alive again Thor would have forgotten.

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 on Jace blue's own shoulders.

No reason.

"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.

The gremlins had thrown an April Fool's party in here last night after closing, or at least that was how Steph chose to interpret the abundance of very tiny confetti (tiny for confetti at least but still too big to qualify as glitter, in her totally expert opinion) and streamers all over the store.

Plus the spring snakes that kept popping out of the shelves whenever she pulled a book out to relocate it. And the very small whoopee cushion on her office chair.

At least they were classic goofy pranks and not shitty mean ones?

Little Bot trundled by with yet another dustpan full of confetti as Steph picked up another snake and deposited it with all the others in a big utility tote bin. That had a lid that latched shut. Around here, she figured, assuming those snakes wouldn't just turn real was probably a bad idea.

[OOC: Open, but guaranteed slow as I herd cats today.]

There was only one teacher at the front of class this week, and it was not the friendly one.

"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.

witchoftheflesh: Colin O'Donoghue as Hook from OUaT (Brow Furrowed - Huh)
[personal profile] witchoftheflesh posting in [community profile] fandomtownies
The phone was ringing off the hook today, but the conversations were more and more confusing.

"Is my refrigerator running?" he repeated. "What fridge? Do you mean the one in my Grove or the one here in the shop? Hello?"

"Do I have Prince Albert in a can? What's that? Is that some kind of body wash? Hello? Hello?"

"You're looking for...you said his first name was Ollie? Last name Tabooger? Excuse me, is there a Mr. Tabooger in the store? Mr. Tabooger? No, I don't think that there's anyone here by this name. Have you tried--hello?"

This is what happens when you were raised in a forest with a coven that pretty universally hated April Fools. You spent the whole day bewildered.

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.

They were in the classroom again, where the desks were pushed together with a bunch of supplies in the middle for people to use.

"Today we're making bath bombs," Kitty announced. "Which are different than glitter bombs in that they're contained, and not weaponry. You just put them in the tub and relax. I have a recipe here, you can use whatever supplies but maybe don't go too heavy on fragrance."

How were you supposed to get the glitter of your skin and tub? Details.

Your teachers were here this week. Twice in a row, even.

"They say that writers should focus on the three 'r's." Well, that was an interesting moment of deja vu. "But given that when we looked them up, only one of them starts with that letter, that's arguably dubious advice."


"In any case, you could probably all do with a movie," Aphra, who seemed exceedingly pleased with herself, said. "I know I could."

Were certain people taking advantage of the date to get out of coming up with a different lesson? Quite possibly.

It was finally warm enough out for Gregorith to go for a walk after dark. He suspected it was a trap, that the temperature tomorrow or the next day would plummet again, but for now it was quite pleasant.

So after enjoying a meal, a succulent Mexican meal, he sat on a bench with his leftover nachos, silently daring the seagulls to try to steal any.

He would however be willing to share with any passers by.

"This is an ethics class," Anakin said, "and there are new technologies on this planet that take some serious thought before you use them."

"Not least because they pose a serious insult to a number of old friends of ours who are actual artificial intelligences," Asohka added.

"Threepio would never behave like this," Anakin agreed. "From not knowing the number of r's in strawberry to making up legal precedents to win an argument, this current version of artificial intelligence is a solution to a problem no one really had. However, no one actually wants to write cover letters. So argue both sides for us: how could you ethically use artificial intelligence? Is it even possible?"
