There was just the one teacher ready for the class this week. Well, one human shaped teacher. Steve was also there, but he was a very energetic dog who was already racing around the course that was set up.

"Welcome back," Tony said. "Or welcome in general. Today is a basic day of paintball where powers can be used. Since it's the first go, why not?"

Yes. Welcome to the bloodbath.

"We'll try out new and fun variations as the session progresses, but this one is pretty basic. Other than Steve. Who is also armed." Dog justice.

Hey there, Fandom. It's me, ya girl, Arden Finch, bringing you all of yesterday's hottest gossip that's fit for drunken rodents to write down. Gonna be zipping through the notes today because I've somehow managed to spill tea all over this shirt, too, making me zero for two in the 'keeping shirts clean' category.

Classes started up again at School, starting with Teamwork Part 2, Matrimonial Boogaloo had introductions, followed by a game of telephone. Dean Skywalker was a cat in 2 Problem, 2 Creative, but that didn't stop Professor Tano from having introductions and asking about people's homework from over break. That's just cruel. How To Waste Time On The Internet talked about what their favorite time wasting websites are - TikTok, obviously. You're gonna go over TikTok, right Professor? And Lady Ghanima welcomed everybody to Destiny and Free Will by starting off with philosophical arguments. Oof! Pretty heavy for a first day!

Dorms were 2 Quiet, 2 Empty 4 Notes, so onto Town we go! At the Perk, Jack spilled coffee all over his shirt, too. I feel comforted. Professor Vess was playing the lyre in the Infinite Consortium, and she and Professor Scientia talked about her home, but exactly what they said is still being blacked out by the squirrels for...whatever reason. Turtle and Canary was celebrating National Bubbly Day, while Professor Smith was busy with some last minute preparations. Vi was a person again at the Magpie Emporium, much to Saffron's delight, and Professor Argentum was stocking novelty shirts to sell. In the Clinic, the crab was reading a mystery murder thriller, hopefully for entertainment and not notes. And Raiden hopefully spent the day resting on his laurels at Pizza Planet for Sunday's resounding success.

And--BLEEP! I just got vodka on my pants, thanks squirrels. Now I definitely need to go back and change so I don't smell like a distillery all day. So this is ya girl, Arden Finch, signing off. Have a great rest of your day, Fandom, and enjoy Dove Cameron's newest single, Too Much.

Turns out today was the kind of day where Gladio would be running circles, but not on the track at the gym or a treadmill. He was almost inclined to think today was one of those days were the phones were messing up, with how much difficulty he was having trying to get a hold of someone to come check out the washers they used for the towels around the gym, because they just weren't working.

So probably a good thing that the pool didn't get much use, but of course there was a scheduled gremlin synchronized swimming group in later today....

He was going to give it a few more tries, and if he still failed to get a hold anyone, he supposed he'd just have to call in Prompto.

Not exactly cars or guns or computers, but it would be worth a try.

Atlas is open!

Since something like RageFest was hardly likely to be Ignis' cup of tea, he was perfectly fine with heading into work that morning while Liliana flirted off to get Summer settled. He was admittedly increasingly intrigued, though, and would be joining his fiancée later, after his shift, for a taste of what the city might have to honor.

Until then? A specials board clearly inspired by Raiden's grand opening of his new brunch spot and anticipating with amusement the tension that was likely to come from the kitchen when they started to realize that all their usual bets were going to be completely thrown today, and he suspected he'd be able to pick up on at least a few murmuring of confused speculation that would just make his coffee that much better.

Kitty had found that the washer wasn't working this morning when she went to do laundry. She didn't think much of it yet; maybe it was just old. It was annoying but these things happened.

It was more annoying when she realized she didn't out the lid on the blender all the way and it popped off, covering herself and Tino in attempted margarita. She had spare clothes in the office just in case, so that would be an easy enough fix once she finished cleaning up, but Tino, despite living upstairs, was just working with his shirt off now.

So enjoy that, patrons.

Y'all. I have gotten two hours of sleep tonight and I'm supposed to wake up in an hour and a half so things are not going as planned. So I came up with questions. We last did this in October.

Pose a question (or as many as you'd like, and they don't all have to be in one comment, so you can come back later and add more if you want) to your fellow students, teachers, townies, alumni and expatriates, and they will answer them. These are IC questions and IC answers and should be truthful! They can be personal or silly. You don't have to answer all of them! Nothing counts in game, of course.

So, for example, I'd ping in with a question like 'Are you in love? If so, with who? If not, why not?' And people ping in under me and answer that question. There's no latesies on this, because of the format, so people can ping in at their leisure. And ANYONE can ask questions!

Keep checking throughout the day for more questions!

Ghanima was already in the classroom as the students assembled, bouncing Trebor on her lap and holding a steaming mug of spiced coffee in one hand, as she subjected each person to an apparently disinterested inspection from her glowing blue-on-blue eyes.

Not even another Truthsayer would have been able to tell what she was thinking.

The moment the bell rang, her eyes snapped from her son to the assembled students. "Good afternoon," she said in a clear voice that carried effortlessly. "This is Destiny and Free Will. If you are in the wrong class, please consider this your opportunity to leave. Although if you are here and believe in fate, then you are where you are supposed to be, no matter what it says on your schedule. And, quite possibly, even if you do not believe"

"Regardless of your views on the matter, I am Lady Ghanima Atreides of the planet Arrakis, a time and place far from here. This fine young man," she set down her coffee to hold up a laughing Trebor, "Is my son, Trebor, First Scion of the House of Atreus."

"I do not answer to 'Lady Atreides,' as that is my grandmother. Ghanima is fine, though if you are one of those who is uncomfortable without an honorific, 'Professor' or 'Miss' is acceptable. Trebor answers to Trebor, or Teddy, if he listens. For those of you whom I have had in class before," she smiled suddenly, looking far less severe. "Welcome back."

"This class is designed to look at the differing opinions on predestination and freewill from a variety of religious, temporal, and philosophical schools of thought," she continued. "Regardless of any personal experiences you may have had on this topic, I expect everyone to maintain a respectful and open mind towards the subject matter and your classmates. Mocking destiny is a dangerous pastime, and not one I will permit during class hours. What you do on your own time, however, is your business."

"There is no syllabus, because to have one would tell you when a class is fated to fall. Or perhaps it is free choice which allows me to not have one." Ghanima's smile was decidedly impish. "For now, I'd like us to discuss as a group if you believe in destiny, free will, or neither, and why."

Jon stood in front of the class and gave them a firm (and only slightly awkward) nod.

"Apparently the way to get the moose to approve my courses is to offer ridiculous things. So, welcome to How to Waste Time on the Internet." He sighed.

"The truth is, there are any number of ways to do that. Most of the internet is one huge waste of time, albeit some parts more interesting and informative than others. But today we're wasting time by introducing ourselves. So, give us your name, how experienced you are or are not with the internet, and if you have one, your favorite time-wasting method involving it. I am Jonathan Sims, I've got about an average amount of experience, which is to say I've been using it since I was in school but I'm still constantly finding ways to be appalled by it, and my favorite method of wasting time involving it is probably cat videos."

He nodded to the first student. "Your turn."

Not to worry, Raiden hadn't forgotten his first love in all the excitement of a new creative avenue--he meant, business. Totally a money-making business.

He assumed. Look, the financials were Castor's problem, and he hadn't burst into tears yet that Raiden had heard about, so everything was probably fine.

They were in a classroom today, where Jag and Jaina were standing at the front, waiting for everyone to arrive.

"Good morning," Jaina started once everyone had arrived. "We've got a mostly new group, so we're going to do the fun intro stuff. I'm Jaina, this is Jag, we're married, and we're going to teach you about teamwork."

"In this class you'll complete exercises in working together, both physically and through communication," Jag continued. "We will be starting easy this week with introductions. Tell us your name and what skills you'd like to work on, and then we'll have a short assignment."

Prompto was always trying to think of ways to help make that bottom line here at the Photo Hut a little better, not so much because he was worried about things like money...well, not with the PH, anyway, because he knew Bloom had that covered, but let's not get into the slight panic he frequently felt regarding his ever-growing family expenditures...but just because he wanted the place to do well in general, and, okay, okay, if it did well, then it would impress the Prof and that was also pretty important to him.

So he was pretty excited when a box of things he ordered finally arrived that morning, and he could spend his day at down in the Hut trying to figure out the best way to display them. It was just a small collection, at first, a few photography-related T-shirts that he'd found cool or relatable, inspirational or funny, or....

Huh.

He didn't remember ordering this one, and, with cheeks going fairly pink, he debated on whether or not to display that one, too. This was, after all, a family business.

(The shirt was, however, still pretty SFW).

Either way, the Photo Hut is open!

Brunch had been good yesterday, unsurprisingly, and Stark was already planning when he might go back to try something else.

For now he had the usual coffees (all iced today) for the nurses and himself and some cookies he'd baked over the weekend for sharing.

Stabby was on a tiny lounge chair next to his tank today, reading a novel. A mystery novel for a mystery crustacean. That seemed fitting.

The clinic was open, the crab was reading about murders (which was not at all worrisome, of course), and the alien was in.

Once again, it seems all the news is confined to a single locale, and that is the grand opening of Raiden's new establishment Over Easy, which my note states is open from 7 until 3, seven days a week, and offers all your breakfast and, er, 'brunch' favorites- in addition to bottomless brunch cocktails on the weekends- *squirrel chittering* Well, I don't know what else you expected me to do with a note that you handed me except read it. How was I supposed to know that was a draft of an advertisement you were hoping to collect payment for?

Moving on, the inaugural brunch was attended by Miss Skywalker, with whom Raiden discussed his reasons for opening the restaurant and also convinced her to give a Bellini a try. What's a- oh, that does sound interesting. I'll have to try one. Stark was also in attendance, and declined the crabcake benedict on account of the fact that one of his coworkers was a crustacean and thus it felt a little odd to him. Miss Zarrin the Elder as well as Miss Zarrin the Younger were educated regarding the difference between a mimosa and a Bellini, and decided to get one of each and try each others. Clever. Miss Vess stopped in as well, ordering one of each of the specials and a lesson on what the seven deadly sins were. Mr. Scientia had words to say regarding his fiancée's overly sugar-laden breakfast choices, but it seems there were no hard feelings as the conversation soon 'devolved into makeouts'. Miss Finch came by for brunch and possibly landed herself a job? At the very least, she did ask Raiden if he needed assistance with anything, before catching him up on how she'd been spending her summer so far. And the aforementioned Mr. Scientia discussed Raiden's need to branch out from pizza, hence the opening of this new restaurant. *more squirrel chittering* No, I'm not sending him an invoice for the airtime. Don't be ridiculous.

That's all, everyone. Until next week.

Saffron had been Deeply Neglected over the past few weeks, what with Snuggle Human turning into a kitten and Food human cruelly keeping her from her. Then, Snuggle Human hadn't shown up at all last week. All in all, she didn't know what to do with herself and was making that Snuggle Human's problem.

So now Vi had a cat sprawling over all over her demanding pets while also making a show of ignoring her. She was not going to get much work done today.

You know, the funny thing about taking a vacation was how, usually, the days leading up to that vacation quickly devolved into the kind of days that made you need that vacation the most. Granted, Summer was well aware of the fact that the store could manage to take care of itself just fine, more often than not, somehow, but there were still things to do be done to make sure they ran smoother and that she didn't come back to a complete chaotic mess or disaster or a new file of cheese panda assaults to add to the record.

If she even came back, that was. After all, unless Ravnica ended up being a total and complete unmitigated disaster...

Summer looked up, squinting at the speakers, which seemed to interrupt the innocuous smooth grocery store jazz with an ominous musical sting.

"Very funny," she murmured, intent to get back to her ordering and emails to let people know she'd be out on vacay for a couple of weeks, only to have Apu hand something over to her that also had her squinting, only this time at the flute of champagne he was handing her.

"Wait, is this to celebrate the fact that you don't have to deal with me for a little while?" she asked.

He said it was a belated National Bubbly Day celebration, but she did not believe him.

And oh hey! There was a pretty great sale on VCRs today, too! Look. Turtle & Canary was dedicated to its commitment to serving people from all places and time periods!

As had been the case last session, there were two elaborate gold coloured chairs at the front of the classroom. Unlike last session, there was a very grumpy looking cat in the larger chair.

"Welcome to class," a decidedly non feline Ahsoka greeted them. "Master Skywalker is indisposed right now, but we won't let that get in the way of our first class.

"Now, those you who were in our previous class were given some homework to do over the break, Namely to find the saddest thing to do in a midlife crisis. for the sake of those who are new this session," And for everyone who just hadn't done it. "You'll have ten minutes to come up with something before presenting your homework with the rest of the class."

After everyone had ~~made up~~ presented their homework, Ahsoka continued. "The first class in usually for introductions, so what better way to introduce yourselves than by coming up with a mantra to live life by, the most original mantra wins."

Lucifer had still not ascended to the heavenly Throne. Oddly enough, there was always just one more thing. Usually a case, like the death of that poor drag queen, or Amenadiel's struggles accepting the reality of the LAPD, or-- well, just things, in general.

One would think that the state of Lucifer this evening - sitting down, sipping whiskey, looking out the window - would have been a regular thing for him, but frankly, it hadn't quite been. All that frantic running about. Solving cases, running night clubs, consoling siblings... In fact, he'd only sat down about five minutes ago, and he was only bothering to take off his Louboutins right now, as an afterthought.

Ah, well.

"I should buy more Häagen-Dazs," he mused to the room at large. "I didn't even realize we were out."

It was, of course, the fault of her upcoming class. She had Dominaria on the brain and such things lingered close. Her notes were all in Benalish, she'd woken up craving phelddagrif steaks - oooh, and a side of fried saproling - with her eggs, and here at the Consortium, she found herself playing old songs on her lyre. No, not just playing, but absently singing along as her mind traveled distant paths back to a music room, bright with sunlight, a dark-haired woman playing the lap-harp and harmonizing with her eldest daughter...

Eventually something would happen to break the spell, but until then, the Consortium was filled with music in a language that Liliana hadn't heard another person speak in nearly two hundred years.

You know, in spite of all of Jack's concerns and trepidation, the past week had actually been pretty good. Not just the weekend - a show in England, followed by seeing the show in England, he was pretty sure getting everyone in to that had earned him points for life - but even all the stuff back home before it.

And then he'd decided to take a quick trip over to the island to check on things. Maybe run a cheap load of laundry. Except that hadn't worked, so now he was stuck with a hotel room full of dirty t-shirts and a sense of impending dread.

"Are you sure you need caffeine right now?" the barista asked him, as she shoved his giant coffee in his direction.

"I think caffeine is at the top of my pyramid of needs right now," Jack informed her. "... Or, wait, isn't that the bottom? How does that thing work anyway?"

"Please just go drink your coffee."

"Ugh," Jack muttered, glancing down at his shiny new Black Sabbath t-shirt. "How does this already have a stain on it?!"

Seriously, I have to report on this? It's just about what happened with me and Steve.

*chittering*

Ravenous paparazzi. The lot of you. Fine. Steve and I were on our way to adopt a dog and he turned into a dog. It was very ironic. Oh! another note! Okay, now there is news. Luma had an unhappy time at the Perk, but hopefully she's feeling better now. But, if you'll excuse me, there's brunch.

Try not to turn into animals, everyone.
