Fandom High School

The classroom was once again set up for a movie. Because it was December, folks. And teachers need a break.

"So, Cara picked this movie," Jane said, looking at the DVD box to check out the description.

"It's a classic." Cara, the film had been out less than a year. Much less. "And has many important lessons on violence and being honest to the girls you're interested in."

"Ohhh." Okay, that made more sense. "I should tell Valkyrie to watch this."

"She'll enjoy it," Cara agreed. "She's a woman of good taste."

The danger shop was somehow turned into a very classic, Midwestern dining room that was set with a full Thanksgiving feast.

Complete with NPC family members.

"Next week can be a little trying for some people with the holiday," Jane said, eyeing one of the NPCs with a 'go woke, go broke' shirt with a level of disapproval.

"Family dinners are often a source of conflict," Cara added. "Especially when in-laws don't get along, even when they don't attempt to have you killed. Or set a mob on you."

"So, today will be about getting through a different kind of fight unscathed," Jane said. "Possibly with wine."

"Significant amounts of wine."

The teachers had some of those kind of really creepy self defense dummies set up for the class to work on some of the basics.

"Weak points on an opponent," Jane said. "They tend to be the same on, well, humans. I can't say it'll be exactly the same on any other species."

Because aliens. Also magic.

"Basically people are kind of fucked up," Cara said. "They have a lot of places you can mess them up good. And we'll be showing you some of them today." Some. Some of them. Don't ask how many Cara actually knew, you didn't want to hear the answer.

"They are the solar plexus," Jane said, pointing out the spots on the dummy as she listed them. "The nose, the instep, and the groin."

Oh yeah, encouraging the class to knee someone.

"Please note that the last, while more effective on those who keep certain parts of their anatomy outside their bodies, also works for people who don't." Remember that, kids, at least one of you would canonically need that knowledge.

"So, let's practice on those spots," Jane said, hoping she wouldn't break the poor thing.

Just ignore any crunching noises, Cara could reassure you all they weren't the least bit realistic.
