"We're going on a trip soon," Don told his students, "so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to talk about some sun safety information." Especially considering where the trip was going to be to. "A sunburn isn't just a temporary painful inconvenience, although it's definitely also that. The sun emits radiation, which is...another class." Maybe one with Tony Stark. "Over time, damage to your skin from the sun can lead to skin cancer. Wearing protective clothing, like long sleeves and a hat, is a good idea, and you should always wear sunscreen, which is usually found in a lotion form but can also be found in stick or spray format, or even a powder, which is good for things like the part in your hair." Don showed them a bottle and explained that, "This number is the SPF, or sun protection factor, number. The higher it is, the more radiation from the sun the sunscreen will block from getting to your skin.

"I also want to talk about heat exhaustion and heat stroke," Don continued, and proceeded to handwavily discuss those topics in more detail. When he was done he asked, "Are there any questions?" Whether there were or weren't, he wrapped with, "Please take a bottle of sunscreen with you when you leave."

Yet again, Aphra and Isabela had a projector set up on the deck of the Danger Shop ship.

"So apprently there's going to be a whole thing with an island next week," Aphra started. "So we thought we get into why islands are important to pirates."

"Through film!" Because why have an actual lecture when this was much more effective?

I have no idea what that even means. Let me just read the notes.

It’s Wednesday and I’m here to tell you about the things the squirrels have decided we all need to know about from yesterday.

We’ll start with the school as always. Tuesday means there was Reclaiming Your Childhood first thing and Ghanima took her students to a very large candy store in Florida. Diplomacy class was Anakin and Ahsoka showing a movie about people fighting. I…am not sure that counts as being diplomatic. And in my Dealing With Other People’s Trauma class we talked about how small concrete things you can do to help others. Like providing food. Or medicine. Or warm blankets.

I have nothing from the dorms but I brought the porg a treat and that seems to be helping him.

Then we have the town where things were fairly quiet. Vi was a kitten at Steph’s. Don was in the park with apple coffee, and finally Lucifer was at the Devil’s Nest for the first time in a long while playing piano once he figured out where the piano had been hidden away.

That’s all from yesterday for today. I hope it’s a good Wednesday for all of us.

Good morning, everyone, it's Captain Steve Rogers with the news of yesterday! Arden's busy right now.

*chittering*

That's none of your business. If you should've known, you would've seen it happen.

Onto classes! Jon introduced his his Cryptozoology class to terrifying Irish otters, and How Not to Drown learned the backstroke.

In town, Watts and Steven celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving, Pam relaxed on the sofa between customers at Pick Your Poison, and Raiden made sure the squirrels wouldn't get caught in fake cobwebs at Pizza Planet.

*cheering*

You're their favorite, Raiden. Lucifer was back, and baking chocolate cake, which apparently--

*sexy music*

Stop that. Lucifer and Duke eventually come up for air long enough to remember that Lucifer has a pool over in the mansion that hasn't been serviced in months, and that nags at Lucifer so he brings up pool maintenance with Octavia, too.

*chittering*

I did not "make it boring." Over at the Trooper Station, Steve and Danny debate the ethics of using the threat of tofu sandwiches in interrogations, and Don and Eric debate the necessity of so many kinds of Oreos existing, and that was before they really started drinking.

Ghanima was waiting for students on the steps of the school, as usual, smiling as Trebor ran around to everyone carefully handing out money to everyone -- carefully counting out a hundred dollars in twenty-dollar bills to each participant.

Ghanima was a firm believer in teaching fiscal intelligence early.

"You may have heard the expression 'Like a kid in a candy store,'" she began cheerfully. "Well, today, we are letting our inner children run free."

"We are going to Sweet Pete's in Florida, to what may be the largest candy store in the United States." Ghanima smiled brightly. "It is a contested title, to be sure, but one of the competitors primarily does wholesale -- which is not fun for us -- and the other is in Minnesota, which I have been told is a silly place to go to in the winter."

The portal blinked into existence, and Trebor ran through ahead of his mother, giggling wildly. "Well, I suppose that's our cue," Ghanima laughed. "To Sweet Pete's!"

Don had woken up this morning mildly hungover, with his bad leg making it known that he had been standing for nearly eleven hours in surgery yesterday. He had considered rolling over and going back to sleep, or making Thor deal with the inconveniences of corporeality, and then he had instead dragged himself out of bed and made himself go for a stupid little walk for his stupid little mental and physical health.

One of the Starbucks gremlins had run up to him on his way out the door with a coffee cup almost as big as it was. Don had accepted it, which was probably a bad idea, but it didn't taste of hallucinogens.

It tasted of apples.

"I don't know why this seems to be a thing," he grumbled as he sat on a park bench, drinking his apple coffee.

Do you not? Thor asked. He sounded amused. It wasn't cute.

"I'm a surgeon. I take my coffee black, for optimal caffeination."

There is nothing wrong with a latte every now and then.

"This is a macchiato."

My mistake.

The television was back in front of the class today.

"Often once you have enough political entities engaging in diplomacy with each other, eventually they'll start creating more formal coalitions in the hope of creating stability and avoiding conflicts," Ahsoka began.

"Where were are from, there was a Senate that represented all systems in our galaxy," Anakin said, "which was as chaotic as you might be imagining."

"Especially as in addition to the usual issues you get when you gather a large group of people with varying levels of idealism, corruption, and political know how, there were number of malicious bad actors involved."

Anakin nodded, making a face. "So, if you do end up in this line of work, don't be blind to the idea that there are beings actively working against the collective interest."

Ahsoka was being so good right now in not calling anyone here out on missing that. "Today we'll be watching a movie about such a person looking to exploit this planet's equivalent organisation." Which was technically true. The best kind of true.

One of these days Anakin would learn not to let Ahsoka pick the movies. But that day was not today. "Take notes and we'll discuss how you would implement the diplomacy on display," he said.

But it was Anakin's favourite kind of diplomacy, aggressive negotiations.

...true. "Let's begin," Anakin concluded.

“Hello again, everyone,” Stark said ~~on time, for once~~. “Something different today, I think. A chance for you all to talk more, and for us to talk with each other. Unless you’d rather not talk. That’s fine. That’s always fine.”

You could just eat the moddable snacks. That’s what they were for!

“So…today, we’ll talk, we’ll brainstorm, ideas of ways to offer support to others who may need it. Perhaps after a new traumatic event. Perhaps just because they happen to need some support then. And sometimes it’s just nice to do things for other people.” Of course, the urge to do things for people constantly might be a trauma response in itself but now was not the time to get into that.

“So…I’ve got snacks. I’ve always got snacks. And I mentioned another day that once when I was very…unwell…a friend made sure I ate. That’s an easy place to start, I think. Bringing people food can be a good way to help them. To support them. Making food or ordering food or simply bringing over basic food items that don’t require much preparation. So…there’s that. If you have more to say on that, please do. And then we can think of other ideas, other ways to support and to help. Sometimes it’s hard to do things for yourself but easier to do them for others. Sometimes supporting each other will help both parties.”

Next week it's time to take our fake students and teachers (and their townie hangers-on) to a different, better island: The Maldives!

Mmm, tropical sand. And while rest and relaxation is on tap, some of Fandom's weirdness will be following along, too, but in a quirky way and not in a zombie-invasion way.

So sign on up in the handy OCD before Saturday, October 18 for our planning convenience!

It was tempting to stay with his partners for at least another full week, but Lucifer had to admit he had also missed the Nest. (Not Eric. Not Tiny. But the Nest.)

So in the end, he swanned into the club on Tuesday night like he'd never been gone in the first place. "I'll have a scotch by the piano," he informed Tiny.

Then spent fifteen minutes figuring out where the piano was and dragging it back to the stage. "Right." And then sitting down behind the piano, putting his fingers down, and-- Nothing Else Matters? Yes. Why not?

"So close, no matter how far..."

The clinic was looking even spookier today. Unlike some establishments, there were plenty of fake cobwebs in the corners of the lobby. The squirrels shouldn't be lurking in here anyway.

Stark had the usual coffees this morning, along with some seasonal cookies (lots of bat shapes today).

Stabby was carving a pumpkin on the counter. The nurses looked like they wanted to say something but, well, the crab had a large knife and it was going to be easier and safer to just wait until he was finished.

The clinic was open, the crab was only stabbing pumpkins (so far), and the alien was in.

Tiny was still on his pumpkin spice bullshit and had now expanded into gingerbread spice bullshit.

"I'm not drinking either of those things," he said, pointing to the cocktails. "I would like vodka. Plain, normal vodka."

The Devil's Nest was open!

The federal government was closed, so Steve wasn't expecting a call back from anyone at the FBI about his serial killer profiler. While he waited, he went over his notes about the case and checked CNN to see if Harry had caught up with the guy who'd intended to blow up nuclear reactors.

Since all things remained un-blown-up, he was optimistic about Harry's effectiveness.

His cellphone, vibrating from various chat groups sending obnoxious Navy memes in celebration of its birthday today, was stuck in a drawer. He was not ready to look at those yet.

Only four more hours of work to go. He'd started voluntarily doing paperwork. Someone save him.

"Welcome back," Anakin said with a smile. "Commander McGarrett is allowed to swim again, so that will add to our class's productivity significantly."

Steve smiled and nodded. "We'll work on the backstroke today, since you did so well with floating last week."

As at Over Easy, so at Pizza Planet, which was to say that the pizza place was getting in the spooky season mood.

It was still a no on fake spiderwebs, though. Seriously, they were dangerous for wildlife. And squirrels. Never mind that the staff all seemed like they really wanted to tell Raiden something when he reminded them the squirrels might get caught in the webs.

Surely no one would want the squirrels to get caught. Right?...Right?

"We're back to water beasts this week," Jon began. "Ireland instead of Scotland. Specifically, the Dobhar-chú. It translates as 'water dog', and is also a modern word for otter, so this particular cryptid sometimes gets called 'King Otter'. It's not nearly so cuddly as that would imply, though." He brought up a drawing.

"Sometimes it's described as half dog, half fish, and sometimes as simply a very large otter, on the scale of three to five meters. One account claims it to be white with black ear tips and a black cross on its back. Another describes it as black and hairless. Although I suppose if it were otter-like, it could be a difference between it being wet and dry. There's a headstone in County Leitrim, supposedly of a woman killed by the creature, that shows...well, mostly a dog." He shrugged.

"The story says that the woman went down to the lake to do laundry, and her husband heard her scream. He showed up either as she was being killed or just after, and saw the monster lying asleep on top of her. Apparently some things can fall asleep any time. He killed it, and it called to its mate. After a long battle, he killed it, too.

"Apart from that, there have been a number of sightings over the years, as recently as the 2000s. Nothing much documented, though; it's all been passed on through word of mouth. There is another gravestone of another woman killed a few centuries earlier, and several accounts in Japanese books, oddly enough; some from Irish people reported there, and at least one from a Japanese expedition.

"Leading theories are large otters, misplaced sea lions, and leftover dinosaurs. Also, there's some question as to if there's been some influence or confusion with legends of kelpies, though they're more typically horse-like than dog-like. Or otter-like."

Another shrug. "So as usual, let's discuss if you think they're real, and/or what they might be."

Morning, everyone. This is Jaina, with the usual few notes from Sunday. Which is why I'm glad the squirrels bring everything to me now.

*chittering*

Excuse you, I'm a working mother. Anyway, Rey was in a bad mood at Stark's and I'm sure I don't know why, Jesse was at town hall on her off day so she was there when new guy Gregorith came to introduce himself before he checked in with home. And then Luma was reading at the Perk, though she took a break to talk to Riri about libraries and labs.

That's all I've got. See some of you in class soon, the rest of you next week.

Why did she keep coming here, even though the threat was at home - in the shack, in Slaughter Swamp?

Pam would like to say it was because she could keep a clear head here. It wasn't untrue, either; it was just mainly that the clear head was aided by the lack of questions from crocodilian friends or, well, Janet.

Either way. It was Monday, the store was open, and Pam found herself back on the sofa after getting the latest batch of antidote running. Sometimes the strangest things could be come routine.

Luma was curled up in a comfortable chair, with a book in her hands and a pumpkin spice latte on the side table. She'd had one for the first time a few days ago, and found herself craving more, especially as the days began to cool down.

Despite that craving, however(my God, what did they put in them???), her was currently sitting there mostly untouched, her attention snagged by the pages of her book and the absolutely devastating story being laid out in those words. It had everything she loved: a dark and gloomy setting, a tragic heroine, a sense of dread and foreboding and hopelessness...so far very good. She hoped they didn't ruin it in the end by not having the terrible love interest meet a horrible end by its finale, though.

But she wouldn't know until she got there, and she was making swift progress toward finding out.

Tony and Steve had gone to Manhattan after their class on Thursday and gotten bagels to bring back to Fandom, but somehow (Steve) they had all been eaten (Steve) in the past four days (Steve, and also Fee).

So now they were back in the city for a new, bigger batch to take home with them, and to appreciate the start of autumn in the city with a walk through Central Park, which was just enough nature for two born-and-bred city boys.

"This is nice," Steve said around a mouthful of food.
