Novice's Guide to Villains and Villainy - Week 4, Period 3 (Danger Shop)

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

When students walked into the Danger Shop today, they found themselves surrounded by a very cartoonish, Seussian landscape. Thursday was there, unchanged by the surroundings, waiting patiently for them all to gather.

"Good morning. Change of plan. I don't think we need to spend any more time on theory. You'll learn much more from testing different reactions up against opponents in a more practical setting. Villains are not always dangerous. Villains are not always out for world domination. There comes a time in the career of every hero, crime fighter, detective and normal person who gets caught up in trouble on a regular basis when they meet the Major Annoyance."

Right on cue, this little fellow rode in on his...creature.




"As anyone who was raised on Earth in the 20th century would know, this," Thursday announced, "Is Sam I Am. He will badger you. He will hinder your efforts to exist without going mad. Use whatever you have on you, work alone or in groups, and thwart him. Be warned, he's trickier than he looks." Thursday stepped aside and Sam I Am took over.

"I am Sam! Sam I Am! Would you like green eggs and ham?"

Should you wish, you may mod Sam I Am like crazy, can get someone else to play him for you or get me to play him for you. Because of crazy time zones, I'm off to sleep soon but will return by evening EST (mid-afternoon PST).

Tori blinked and wondered how Professor Next had come up with this assigment. It was going to be a difficult one to figure out, especially since Tori was familiar with the story.

Finding Sam I Am seriously disturbing, River looked around nervously, undecided about what to do.

Sometimes it was really best not to think about what living inside fiction for several years had done to Thursday's mind.

Sam I Am leapt off his creature thingy and pulled a silver platter with lid from behind his back. He pulled the lid off to reveal some rather nasty looking green eggs and ham. "Would you like them in a box? Would you like them wearing socks?"

Peter eyed Sam I Am with a bit of chagrin. He didn't need lessons in how to deal with crazy people. He had younger siblings.

Re: Talk and Chatter

Isabel sighed, her boyfriend was fading away. She was not really in the mood for this today.

Not really appreciating being offered disgusting food, with or without boxes or socks, River firmly said: "No."

Perhaps being surrounded by translucent people had upset her more that she'd thought, but she actually surprised herself by reacting on instinct, spinning around and aiming a punch in his face and a kick for his creature.

Re: Defeat Sam I Am

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

Sam I Am reeled at the punch. The creature went skittering away. Sam, on the other hand, just stretched back at the force like a rubber band and snapped back into place, rubbing his jaw. "Would you like them while we fight? Would you like them flying a kite?"

Re: Talk and Chatter

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

Had Thursday been a mind-reader, she definitely would have agreed with the thought about siblings, but being the youngest, would have extended that to older siblings as well.

"NO!" River screamed, and spun around again, this time kicking Sam I Am and then attempting to catch his arm and hurl him on the floor.

Re: Defeat Sam I Am

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

Sam hit the floor hard, still holding onto the platter. He coughed up blood, pouted and looked up pitifully at River. "Would you like them doused in beer? Would you like them with teal deer?"

Re: Defeat Sam I Am

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

The blood should have been a warning sign to River, but it didn't seem to work. "No," she repeated and attempted to grab the platter and pull it from his grip."

Re: Defeat Sam I Am

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

The platter went reluctantly and Sam I Am scrambled to his feet after her. More accurately, he was chasing the platter. "Would you like them on your face? Would you like them up in space?"

Re: Defeat Sam I Am

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"No!"

River swung the platter out of his reach and back, aiming for his head.

Re: Defeat Sam I Am

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

Sam I Am was agile, but not fast enough for River. The platter connected. Sam spun and dropped like a stone, a green egg splattering on his face. After a few moments, obviously dazed (and probably concussed), he gurgled, "So that's a no then?"
