Steve arrived in front of the baking students looking a little frazzled and alone. "Right, so Tony turned into a cat today and he'd make an absolutely terrible judge, so I'm calling an audible and changing the plan. We're going to work together and make a gingerbread house!"

This could only go badly.

"I bought a pre-baked one from the store."

At least he knew himself?

"Come on up to this table and we'll get started."

The kids were doing their tutoring, so Jaina had spent the morning training and then come to the Perk to wait out the rest of the time. Luckily they were better kids than she and her brothers had been, and she could trust that they wouldn't get into any trouble while they had holographic supervision. She got her drink, found a table, and sat down with a datapad.

And had to keep using the Force to push the strings of Christmas lights away. She was not in the mood for this. She was never in the mood for this.

[Open!]

If Liliana had assumed that resuming class would go smoothly and easily, she had forgotten what December in Fandom was like. Either way, she was waiting for the class in the Danger Shop - which somehow still managed to be infested with slithering strings of Christmas lights - with an expression of pure resignation. The embodiment of 'This May As Well Happen,' as it were.

"An important aspect of continuing to survive in a post-apocalyptic scenario is to not get tunnel blindness," she said once class began. "Yes, zombies may be the biggest threat out there, but that doesn't mean they're the only cause for concern. If you focus only on the dangers shambling after you, you might end up running straight into some other danger that you overlooked completely. And if you break your leg because you didn't notice the potholes in the street, outrunning that zombie is going to be a lot harder.

"Today is going to be more of an athletic class," she continued. "All of the buildings have been sealed off, there's nowhere indoors you can hide. Instead, not only must you fight and/or run from the zombies, you have to do so..." Snow and ice suddenly appeared around them. In some places, it was just enough to make conditions slippery. In others, there were large drifts, or a deceptively thin skim of ice over deep snow. Of course, there were the electric lights present as well, which wanted nothing more than to get underfoot and trip you up, and, just for good measure, there was omnipresent Christmas carols being played just loudly enough to make listening for danger more difficult.

But hey, at least it was just instrumental versions of some of the less twee carols. But that was mostly because Liliana had to listen to it, too, and if she heard I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus one more time, she was going to do something drastic.

"Good luck surviving!" she called merrily. She was going to climb up into the sleigh that had also appeared when the snow did and spend the next hour watching the class in comfort, thank you.

The gremlin photographer set up in one corner of the library was rather adorable, Belle thought. Though the constant flashes of light grew old quickly.

And then, of course, there were the other lights. The strings of lights. The ones that kept moving around the library. That was also rather distracting for both Belle and the gremlin trying to take pictures.

Eventually the gremlin made the choice to start trying to convince the lights to pose for portraits. Beetle was watching, fascinated, when she wasn't reading. Or shelving books. Or trying not to trip over lights that kept twining around her ankles.

There was a frog behind the bar at the Devil's Nest. Or, more accurately, on the bar. The fact that the frog was wearing a tiny version of Thor's armor, complete with tiny Mjolnir, might explain why the frog had been allowed to stay.

Weren't you a goat last time?

"Ribbit," said the frog, which might or might not have been Thor explaining that the universe worked in mysterious ways.

Right.

Between the amphibian and the spirit, maybe ask Tiny for your drinks. The Devil's Nest is open!

"All right, guys!" Raiden exclaimed happily, "today we're doing something a little bit different." And Raiden had a Gray-shaped tagalong for some reason. "We're headed to Frankfurt, Germany, and we're not going to be exploring the city and area's food as a whole. Instead, we're going to be exploring the Christmas markets and all the delicious snacks and drinks in it!" Christmas. Christmas would be the reason for the tagalong. "These markets are common in European cities during December, and they sell things like seasonal decorations and toys, along with all sorts of things to eat and drink! You'll definitely want to get some glühwein, or maybe kinderpunsch if you're not feeling the alcohol, and pick up a bratwurst and some stollen, but beyond that there's a whole range of yummy treats, plus maybe you can get some Christmas shopping in while we're there! So let's get going and get in the festive spirit!"

Little did they know that upon return to Fandom Raiden and his tagalong were going to turn into a chocolate Lab and a sloth, respectively. Weird how that happened.

Stop trying to fight the lights, you're going to...

*chittering*

No, I'm not getting you loose. Maybe after the broadcast. It doesn't look like it's going to take very long.

Up at the School, Space Pirates, Pirates in Space watched a movie, while Health Education talked about getting enough sleep.

The Dorms continued to be quiet, and it looks like the Town was too, with Over Easy suddenly gaining an indoor ice-rink being the only thing of note.

Steven was running late that morning. Literally, as he ran to the museum to get there on time. In what was perhaps some sort of miracle or kindness of fate, he didn't manage to trip and spill his tea along the way. Instead he got behind the Welcome Desk, put his cup down safely...

...and then knocked his bag onto the floor, spilling the contents everywhere.

Steven sighed. "At least it wasn't the tea?"

He got down on his hands and knees behind the desk to pick up all his items. Or at least what he could find. Hopefully he didn't lose his favorite pencil.

It was finally the most wonderful time of the year, and Gray was living.

He didn't even care that the floor at Over Easy was an ice rink, because he was perched safely at the hostess station. Ice skating was fun, anyway! What wasn't to...oh, okay, some of the staff didn't have skates and that was a problem. But it was a problem for them.

Over Easy is open! And slick. Very slick.

Good morning. No songs today, at least?

*chittering*

No, I hadn’t noticed anything odd about the floor, why would I?

*snickering*

Now I’m going to be frightened of floors all day…

At the school Ghanima took her child and her students in her Reclaiming Your Childhood class to a very large mall to shop for toys. For other people, mostly, and one thing for themselves. Diplomacy read books on…self-help? All right. And I had earplugs for everyone in my Dealing With Other People’s Trauma class, in case the song was bothering anyone. It was very persistent. And sometimes very loud.

Oh, the porg is dancing. I do have a note from the dorms! Billie was in the 2nd floor common room making the music play on purpose, it seems, but she made it sound better by picking the speakers? Well done.

In the town the music didn’t seem to bother Pam at the Perk but she did seem to frighten the staff a bit. She did not frighten Rey who came in for a drink and then spent some time explaining who she is, and what she does at home. And at Caritas, Kitty was removing as many speakers as she could to the alley to try and lessen the noise.

I hope everyone has a day without one song playing over and over and over…and without squirrels laughing like that’s a very funny thing to say.

Once more, the projector was set up on the deck of the space starship.

"Welcome back, hope you all enjoyed pondering your orbs!" Thank you for that greeting, Aphra.

"Today we'll be looking at the importance of your crew," Isabela said. "Because you can't get much done without a good crew at your back."

Yes, it was time. They'd honestly been very good holding off on it so far this semester.

"Let's talk about sleep," Don declared. "Sleep is so important to your overall health, as is getting good sleep. Most people need about eight hours a night, and it's important to have a consistent sleep schedule, with a regular bedtime and wake up time." Don was two people. Don had spent ten years in the void. Don did not have anything like a consistent sleep schedule. But hey, do as I say, not as I do, right? "If you're drinking too much caffeine, it can impact your sleep schedule." See also: do as I say. "If you're having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, you can try things to improve your environment, like making it darker or eliminating artificial light sources before bed. That means no scrolling on Vine or whatever it is you kids use these days," he joked. "If you don't get enough sleep, it can really impact your overall mental and physical health. How would you rate your sleep health, and what can you think of that you could do to improve it? Let's brainstorm a little bit. Or you can use this time to take a nap. I won't judge."

There was a small stack of books on the desk at the front of the classroom today, being eyes with distaste by at least one of your teachers.

"There's no getting around the fact politics and diplomacy involve a certain level of manipulation," Ahsoka started. "But certainly kind of manipulation are more insidious than others."

"Despite my wife's wishes, you can't learn everything just by reading about it, and certainly not from these books," Anakin said.

"Especially not these books," Ahsoka said. "Which are examples of a genre that claim to be teaching the reader to manipulate various factors in their own lives, but are actually about manipulating the reader."

"So get to reading and find five things that tick you off."

Anakin could find five things just in the title page if he tried!

He was an overachiever like that.
