Adventuring Survival Tactics, Period 4, A Classroom, 4/12/07

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

The Doctor didn't have desks in the classroom today.

He had little swatches of carpet. About 18 inches by two feet, rectangular. In various moddable styles and colors. He gestured as for the students to sit on these bits of carpet. After the opening bell rang, he smiled.

"This is Adventuring Survival Tactics," the Doctor said. "And the first adventuring sruvival tactic you need you learn is that those carpets EAT PEOPLE!"

He made spooky fingers.

"Okay, maybe they don't," the Doctor said. "But they could. One some strange planet. Now something else to keep in mind is what you are, in fact, capable of. So that's today. It's a getting to know yourself, and each other, exercise. You'll tell us all your name, what you think your greatest strength is, what you think your greatest weakness is, and the weirdest fact you can think to share about yourself."

He brushed off his jacket. "I'll begin. My name is The Doctor. My greatest strength is, of course, being as fantastic as I am. My greatest weakness is the very rare ocassion when I am overconfident. The strangest thing about me is that I've suffered eight circumstances that would normally have been fatal, but I live on." He nodded. "Your turn."

After everyone shared, he smiled and clapped his hands together. "Fantastic. Now then, you're welcome to talk with your fellow students about the following situation for the rest of the hour. No homework for the next week, because I'm nice like that. Now, discussion topic. What would you carry in your pockets if you knew you were going out into a dangerous place. No backpack, no. Pockets only. What're you bringing? Discuss."

He was a bit smug at that. He knew that no one else had dimensionally transcendental pockets.

Lana smiled at Jack. "Can I just bring you? You'd be far more useful in a dangerous situation than anything I could bring."

"I don't know," he said doubtfully, but his eyes were sparkling as he studied Lana closely, "think I'll fit in your pocket?"

"I could wear a really long coat and sew in a full length pocket," she suggested with a teasing grin. "Then I'd always have you close."

"Close is good." Jack grinned. "I might get a bit heavy, though. And you'd end up walking lopsided," he pointed out. "Maybe it'd be easier if we just picked the same dangerous situation to go into. Or better yet, find a nice tavern somewhere, and watch the dangerous from a distance."

"Well, I was kind of envisioning holes in the bottom of the pocket so I wouldn't be so much carrying you as walking with you, but yes," Lana said, grinning. "My preference would be to not be in a dangerous situation since I'm totally useless in them."

"We'll stick to watching the danger from a distance, then. And I guess I'll be buying the drinks, since all your money will have fallen out the holes in your pockets." He leaned over and trailed a finger down the back of her hand. "Good thing I don't mind."

Lana grinned at him. "Why, Mr. Harkness, I do believe you're flirting with me."

She batted her eyelashes at him. "Now we wouldn't want to make my big strong boyfriend jealous, would we?"

"Me?" he asked, eyes wide and innocent. "Maybe. And why wouldn't we want to do that?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves!

Lana smiled up at him. "Because if he gets too jealous he'd want us to stop and I'd rather not?"
