Class was in the Danger Shop today, where the students would find themselves in a replica of an empty common room. Jaina was sitting in one of the chairs, gesturing to the rest of the furniture, or the floor, or whatever. "Find a seat, make yourself comfortable, because I might make you slightly paranoid for the rest of the period," she greeted them. And she was just going to hope she hadn't left any messages for her students on Friday. "We're going to be here in the Danger Shop for most of our classes, since we start simulations this week. This one shouldn't be a problem, but know that if there's anything in this class that you're not comfortable with for any reason, let me know and we'll figure something out. I'm not trying to traumatize anyone for a grade. And from here and out, Bruce is the TA for this class, so if you need help or anything and you don't want to come to me, he's your guy."
"So by now, even the new kids should have at least seen a common room like this. You hang out, you watch TV, you rummage around for something to eat if someone hasn't ordered a dozen pizzas for everyone. Nothing abnormal about that." And on cue, a little green gremlin hopped up onto the arm of Jaina's chair, just watching the class. You better believe she'd programmed that thing to pay absolutely no attention to her. "This is a gremlin. Also not abnormal for Fandom. For those of you who don't know, they're not the most pleasant of creatures, seeing as how they like to steal your things, or sometimes they'll just randomly see your exposed skin and decide to make with the chompy chompy. And besides the 'ouch' factor that comes with something biting you, but their venom tends to cause hallucinations that make you believe you are, in fact, something else. And then you do things like trampy girl group acts in common rooms just like this one or give concerts in the park that lead you with bruises."
Um. Not that Jaina still had issues or anything.
"Anyway, for today's class, you can either work alone or in pairs, if that's more your thing. For the purpose of this scenario, this is the only common room available to you, and yes, you have to use it," she told them. At some point, this gremlin will pop out from somewhere or another, and you have to decide what to do about it. If you're wondering, if the gremlin is definitely going to bite you, the simulation will simply end and your turn will be up." The gremlin on the chair hopped onto the floor to scurry off for parts unknown, and Jaina stood. "Have fun with that."
