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

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.

"Hi, I'm Pippi Longstocking. My greatest strength is... My... great strength! My greatest weakness is... My great strength actually. I think... I'm not sure what's weird about me... Um. I... roll my dough out on the floor when I make cookies at home, because it's the only place with enough space for all the dough. I don't do it here though, because there aren't wood floors in the dorms... Blech!"

"Hello" Ami waved nervously. "My name is Ami Mizuno and i am a freshman. My greatest strength... well, i am a good student" she finished lamely. "My greatest weakness i think is that i am very shy and nervous about talking to people. And as for weird... I am not sure. Nothing odd has ever really happened to me before coming here. Oh!" she said remembering "Back in Japan I went to Cram School after regular school. People here seem to think that weird."

Pippi gives it some thought.

Caramel candies?

A shponk?

An old wooden spool?

Ami looked around to see who she was supposed to talk to. She thought about the question. She decided she would bring a pocket knife, duct tape, a mechanical pen and a small notebook and a box of matches.

"I'm Lana Lang. My greatest strength is probably that I'm really good at organizing and multi-tasking. My greatest weakness is, well... that I don't think I'm much good at anything else. Weirdest fact. Um... well, I was abducted and buried alive in a coffin by a shapeshifter disguised as my boyfriend who was actually already dead. The boyfriend I mean, not the shapeshifter. Though in a later season I was dating a guy who was actually dead, so..."

Lana thought about it. The taser Veronica had given her for sure. Matches, maybe? Paper, cell phone...

Mostly she thought she just wouldn't want to go to a dangerous place.

"My name is Alanna Trebond, um, hm. My greatest strength is that I'm good with a sword, mostly because I'm kind of fast. My weakness would have to be a hate of the cold. Something weird...I dragged along my friends from Fandom back to my home world for my Ordeal. No one died."

"How do I fit my sword into my pocket?" Alanna mussed out loud.

"I'm Pip Bernadette. I guess my greatest strength would be... my improvisational ability and fighting skills. My biggest weakness is probably my missing eye and blind side. Weirdest thing about me is... Neither of my parents are particularly tall, but people tend to describe me as 'impossibly tall'."

Pip thought about this for a while.

Not a gun, necessarily. Gun was good for violence, but not for other things.

A survival knife, maybe?"

Chuck Norris sleeps with a nightlight. But it isn't for him, it's for the night.

"I'm Nadia Santos. My greatest strength is that I can keep a secret, which is why I'm not going to say what my greatest weakness is. I guess my weird thing is that I'm the subject of a prophesy. But I'm not the one who's going to save or destroy the world. I'm the one who's got the information for whoever is going to save or destroy the world. Not that I know what that information is."
