The weather was nice, and Rey didn't want to jinx anything but maybe it was staying that way? At any rate, it gave her an idea, and in the meantime she was enjoying the weather by doing lightsaber drills outside. She did t really need it, but she wanted to do it.

She let Anakin know where she was, found an open spot near a bench, and got to work.

[open!]

It was movie day in fighting class! The students would find their teacher absent and a screen set up for a film, so they could learn about boxing. It was educational.

“Mexican cupcakes today,” Stark said. “Mexico is…right here, on our map.” The cupcake sticker count increased by one as Stark added it to the correct spot.

“So, these are a bit different. They have cheese in them. Not cream cheese. Queso fresco. And they’re more like a bread pudding, if you’ve ever had that, than a traditional cupcake. No frosting, really, but there are sprinkles!”

Sprinkles were great, okay?

“Right. So. These are called Capirotada Cupcakes and they have a coffee liqueur crema. I do like coffee flavored things….but you may not and that’s fine if you don’t like these. You can try the ones I brought in.” Because of course there was a platter of them available for eating.

“Any thoughts on Mexico before we begin? Remember I’m happy to help if you need or want that.”

Last night had been the final night of Passover, and so today?

Today Watts was enjoying once again being able to eat bread with absolutely ridiculous sandwich. No, this wasn't lunch. This was a pre-lunch snack.

And no, Calvin, he wasn't gonna share. C'mon.

Steve was in the front of the class again today, this time without Tony or the dogs.

He did, however, have a bunch of leashes that were not holding dogs.

"We're still running through the obstacle course," Steve said, "with these invisible dogs."

The imaginary dogs.

"They should listen better than our three real dogs do," he added optimistically. "Who wants to go first?"

Good morning, everyone! It's Steve Rogers with the news of Thursday. In classes, Liliana wasn't thrilled that her class ended up at Urza's Fun House, Cara was still unsupervised in Cinema Studies and that led to a movie based on a dice game: was it that the male version of the female heist film? Don taught us about Frigg in Norse Mythology, and Belle was doing some additional reading on the subject in the library.

In town, Thor was in a contemplative mood at the Devil's Nest and Tiny probably didn't knock over every glass there last night?

Someone check for me tonight, okay?

Have a great weekend!

Belle wanted to read up on Norse mythology. Or maybe she wanted to read some romances that were based on it. Maybe both.

Instead somehow she was moving several shelves worth of books instead. She wasn't sure why. They're had been a note saying things needed to be moved and so shrug was doing her best.

She was going to have to take a reading break soon.

Thor was in a contemplative mood tonight at the Devil's Nest, which meant he was ignoring whatever Tiny was doing with the highball glasses over there and hoping they didn't topple and break.

They would be Tiny's problem if they did.

"I realized we haven't really talked about the goddesses of Norse mythology much yet, and that's my mistake." He was preoccupied with the family drama side of things, which the women smartly stayed mostly out of. So today we're going to talk about the goddess who most directly impacts your lives today: Frigg, goddess of marriage, prophecy, and motherhood, wife of Odin. You talk about Frigg at least once a week: Friday is named for her.

"Now, where I'm from, Odin is married to Frigga, who sometimes goes by Freyja. Mythologically speaking, these are two separate goddesses, with Freyja being a goddess of love and beauty, but the names are similar enough that people do get them confused and some scholars argue about whether or not they were originally one goddess. If you'll remember the story we read last week, Freyja featured there. Freyja is also a goddess of the dead: she receives half of those who die in battle in her field of Folkvangr. And, fun fact, she rides in a chariot pulled by cats. Way more fun than goats, right?" Sorry, Thor. "And, because the Norse love a similar name, apparently, she has a twin brother named Freyr. Freyr, Freyja, Frigga, Frigg. Get it? Got it? Good."

Jane was still noticeably absent today, which was probably not a good sign.

"Today we're watching a movie about that game with all the weird dice," Cara informed them. "There's a shop in town if you feel inspired."

No doubt, Steph would appreciate all the increased custom that was sure to result from this!

This is a post-it. You dragged me out of bed for a post-it.

Don't tempt me, Leroy.

Up at the School, The Long Con explained about how men shouldn't be trusted with things, while Glitter made ornaments. Just because.

Otherwise, nothing much happened in the Dorms or Town.

"I'd say I'm sorry for missing class, but I'm the one who got stuck as a cockroach for a few weeks, so I think you'll all deal with a few missing days," Constantine announced dryly once everyone had arrived.

Look, when Fandom was accurate with its animal transformations, it was accurate, and John wasn't going to argue with it. He knew what he was; an unkillable pest.

"So let's talk about someone that the world tried to stomp-out multiple times, but she never let it stop her from aiming high. Jeanne de Valois Saint Rémy, the Comtesse de la Motte, and the Affair of the Diamond Necklace."

( In the eyes of God and the world, I wanted my life to be as it should have been. )

"Jeanne schemed and scraped her entire life, determined to be recognized in her own right and not just resigned to the trash pile of Europe's royal bastards. And, in her own way, she succeeded, though not in the way she wanted. But that's the risk of the con, innit?"

Back in the classroom! Back in the desks pushed together with supplies in the middle! Had Kitty actually put the room back together after class last week? No!

"We're going to be making ornaments today," Kitty said. "I know it's April. You may not celebrate chrustmas. But there's nothing stopping you from hanging it on your window or something at any time of year. So have at it, let me know if you need more supplies."

Welcome to another Wednesday, Fandom.

Another quiet Tuesday yesterday. One class from the school. In Ethics we discussed whether lying is all right. It has to be. Sometimes.

Nothing from the dorms, sorry Porg.

And in the town Tino was once again missing from Caritas and Kitty was no closer to finding out where he was. The drummer was missing as well. I wonder…I hope Tino didn’t end up with the raccoons…

That’s all for today from yesterday. Try to enjoy your days, everyone.

What up, Fandom? It's me, ya girl, Arden Finch, bringing you all the best gossip mediocre squirrel journalists have collected. Don't look at me like that, Leroy, you know what you did.

School had its usual Monday complement of classes. Squirrel talked about boundaries and ways to say no, Beginner Gourmet Cooking Techniques made raindrop cakes which were very cool and also surprisingly hard to make, and Tasks gave knowing something like the back of your hand a run for its money.

No Dorms and no surprises there, but in Town, Caleb was dealing with kitty jealousy in Furnado, the Trooper Station was disappointed that Officer McGarrett wasn't doing an easter egg hunt, and Professor James got an Easter basket from the Easter Raccoon at the Clinic.

And that's all we got, so this is ya girl, Arden Finch, signing off, but leaving you with Keep It Movin' by Yazz, ft. Serayah

There are grand ethical choices to be made that change the course of history," Anakin said, "and there are the temptations to lie when you don't feel like going somewhere."

"After all, it's not like they can prove you didn't have itchy minerals," Ahsoka added.

"But there are some who feel they must be absolutely honest in all interactions," Anakin said.

"Still others might consider such a stance...ill advised."

"Which camp do you fall into, and how truthful would you like to be, even if being honest sent you to a family holiday you'll hate?"

Time seemed to slow on this island.

Lucifer was vaguely aware they'd have to go home soon-- that Octavia was likely to get antsy, and Eric inclined to do mad things to the club while he wasn't there.

But this was nice, wasn't it? Quiet when you wanted quiet. Lively fun and time together when you didn't. He'd even started to warm up to all the nature of it all.

Which was, perhaps, why Lucifer had gone for a stroll all by himself this evening, right on the cusp of sundown. He'd wandered down the beach, and then up into the woods. And now, finally, he was heading home, keeping to the lights of the lodge as his North Star.

It was... peaceful.
