fandomhigh | Myth Into History, Week 6: Classical History II [Thurs/1st Period, Danger Shop]

This week when students entered the Danger Shop, it was set up as the inside of an armory, about the size and shape as last week's soda ware house but with weapons instead of bottling supplies. ~~You'd think it was the same set redressed; funny, that.~~ Janice was sitting atop a crate that (if anyone could read Old Persian) was labelled "Poison-Tipped Arrows." The students' tables had been set up to face the door, and there were plates of nutbread and carrot cake within easy reach.

"Welcome to Tripolis," she said, cigar firmly clamped in her teeth as usual. "You're in a Persian armory on the route between Athens and Marathon. Yes, as in the Battle of Marathon. This is where Xena held off the entire Persian army singlehanded, long enough for Pheidippides to make his famous run to Athens and mobilize the Greek forces there."

She went on for a while about how the Persian army had defeated the Greeks at Marathon and would have cut through the pass at Thermopylae to get to Athens, if Xena hadn't slowed them down; any questions or objections from the class were pretty much ignored in the unstoppable momentum she had going today. Once she was done (mercifully), she hit a button on the remote and transformed the armory into last week's soda warehouse.

"Time to see if those battle plans of yours will work -- and try not to set anything on fire, okay?"

[OOC: Class Info Post. I am really sorry for the kinda crappy class today but I've been blindsided by a cold and my brain is fuzzy. And yes, daytime availability is going to suck again today. Sigh. I'll do what I can, and pick up when I get home. OCD up!]

The hot spot for all your note-taking, gossiping, and other such needs.

The thing is, Evie just read this, and ... Dr. Covington is telling it wrong. Or history is wrong. Can history be wrong? Does she have to learn both versions? What if there's a test, and she confuses them? What if the history she's learning from Dr. Jackson conflicts with the history she's learning from Dr. Covington? What if *neither* is the history back where she's from?

Evie starts to hyperventilate.

Zack frowned. Then looked at his notes, and frowned again.

Evie looked at him and bit her lip. "Am I confused, or is Dr. Covington?"

Zack was still frowning at his note. "I'm going with Dr Covington being confused."

"Should we... point this out?" Evie clutched her books, worrying at her lower lip. "Only, I don't want to do badly on any tests. And, and, what if it keeps getting worse?"

"Maybe keep a seperate set of notes?" Zack suggested.

Evie grabbed the suggestion like a lifeline. "Oh! Yes! The Dr. Covington Translation. Perfect!"

Marie was pretty sure this class would never really make sense to her, but she took notes anyway.

D'anna zoned from about the time Xena was mentioned, until such time as 'fire' was said.

Cedric took notes, listened to the lecture and decided to just take everything that was being said as the truth until he knew otherwise.

Phoebe was really, really confused right about now.

Subthreads ahoy!

Divide into your groups in the subthreads.

For those who wish to defend the humble warehouse from horrible, horrible brigands. Or classmates.

"Hey, can the danger shop give me all my normal weapons? I mean, you know, safe ones that won't hurt folks for real, but I think I'd need them to defend here, and I'd normally have them." Joxer patted his breastplate.

"Joxer the Mighty won't let this poor warehouse down."

Zack quickly started constructing the fizzy water cannon he'd designed last lesson.

As far as he could tell, his math was perfect.

For those inspired by carbonated beverages to commit harmless, yet boisterous acts of aggression.

Evie blnked, and looked at the beverages. Hmm. After all, they know where the weak spots in the defenses they built are....

Cedric could take beverages. It couldn't be that hard.

Self-explanatory, no?

*shaka*shaka*shaka*

*SPRAY!*

She'll be here, but probably on the taciturn side.

I'm starting to find every single multi-comment LJ post weird if it doesn't end with an OOC thread. *boggles*

And of course, if you want to set something on fire and earn detention, ping here.

I think I may opt out of the soda fight as I wasn't in last week, unless there are objections.

Understood. No worries. :)

Can I handwave Phoebe's participation as I am still really sick and the concepts are hard for my wee brain?

That's totally fine with me, since I'm in that sick corner with you.
