fandomhigh | Defence Against Malicious Magic - Monday 3/26

Students are directed to the Danger Shop by notes and possibly a TA or two.

When the students are assembled, the doors shut with a *clank*.

All is silence for a moment and then a tremendous cloud of black sparkling spoke pours out of, well, nothing actually.

When it clears, a rather ominous and wizardly looking fellow is standing there.

He turns a baleful eye upon the students for an long time, uncomfortably long. It's actually rather creepy. Not creepy in a suspenseful way either. More creepy in a 'I don't want to sit next to this guy on the bus' kind of way.

Finally, he speaks.

"Students of Orpheus!" he says in a voice that's higher pitched then you'd expect to hear. In fact, it kind of sounds like there some dude in his early twenties under all that white hair and the crazy velveteen robes. "I... Am CURSE! I seek to become your teacher's nemesis! And this time, he will actually read my resume! I have lured him away to the Forbidden Zone where he will be ~~dining with the little midget king!~~ distracted while I teach you all a lesson he will never forget!!!"

Wait. Did that make sense? He'll teach... Yes. Yes it did. Okay, good.

"I see he had some implements set out for whatever exercise he had planned for you before my plans were... You know. Replacing his...

Anyway! Since you are all but children I will let you select a weapon or protection that will no doubt fail under the weight of my magic!

Magic is kind of my thing you see...

Have at you! And you! And you! And..."

[[ooc: Curse is a hologram, this is the Danger Shop. The table holds both mundane and magical implements. Magical implements can be anything you would not qualify as a legendary artifact. (Sorry Halliwell, no Excalibur sitting around for you to pick up... Nice longsword +1 though.) Mundane items range from a board with a nail in it, to a (perfectly normal) colt peacemaker. There are also "spell components" on the table to throw together an amulet or something that just smells really bad. Yes, there is chocolate.]]

Grab a weapon, assemble a spell or amulet, dive under so as to avoid conflict...

Or just goof off.

When doesn't Setsuna go straight for the sword? But she also prepared a few blocking paper magic spells, just in case.

Katara eyed the table and hoped for, well, water.

She not only found well water, she found spring water, mineral water, distilled water, rose water, eau de twalette, caffeinated water, and ice.

Katara grinned and uncapped as much of the water as she could, pouring a good amount of it into a bowl and leaving the rest simply open and ready to be used.

Jo was her parent's daughter, of course she went right for the gun.

She also picked up a lump of chocolate, since, hey, free food.

Door shrugs and grabs the board with a nail in it. Not that she's doing anything with it until she's actually attacked, since a - see name of class, and b - attacking first pretty much not her style anyway.

Not that she's necessarily planning to do anything with it if she is attacked, since c) her first strategic choice is still 'run like hell.'

Meanwhile, chocolate.

Dawn made herself an amulet and grabbed a bow and arrows (the arrows had wooden shafts, just in case), then started nibbling on chocolate.

Purely as a preventive act, of course.

Sam worked on making himself an amulet that didn't smell, which was much easier said than done. He smiled at Dawn when he saw her pick up the bow and arrows. "That's a good choice."

"Thanks," she said, then muttered something under her breath about guns, finishing with a glare at Sam, "AND NO standing in front of me anymore; You could have been hurt!" Doofus.

"What are you talking about?" Sam said, taking a step back just in case.

"You," she hissed, "at the place! Standing in front of me with your tall self so you'd get shot or hurt before I did." Dawn reached over to thwap him. "No more, Sam, I mean it!"

Sam scowled at the thwapping. "Hey! I'm sorry, it was just instinct."

"I don't want to see you shot any more than you want to see it happen to me," Dawn argued, again including the silent doofus at the end of the sentence, "and that goes just as much when you've been stupid about other stuff, in case you were wondering."

"Have I told you that I'm sorry about the stupid stuff? Because I am," he said.
"And that includes jumping in front of you to get shot first if you want it to."

That actually helped a lot, but, "Did you talk to Alec? It's his life you torpedoed, not mine."

"I haven't gotten a chance to yet," Sam admitted. "But I'm going to apologize to him, for the e-mail and everything else from last week."

"Dean said you talked to him too--how'd that go?"

"Better than I thought it would," he said. "I think we worked things out, once I agreed to apologize to Alec and embarrass myself publicly in Ethics class."

Willow was nothing if not a multi-tasker.

She assembled a magical amulet that also smelled bad.

Alanna considered using her own sword and decided to grab one instead, along with chocolate.

Bridge is not so much with the grabbing weapons or assembling spells. In fact he's looking like he'd really rather be anywhere but there. He could possibly be pondering hiding under the table.

The squirrel began jotting down notes: EveryOnE be eatin' cHocklit, evEn Dawn 'N Gigant00r Sam who be fightin' aboUt who kin jump in Front o' a bullet FUrst. Shoot 'em Both, mebbe?

Luna took a piece of chocolate and sorta forgot to pick up anything else.

Will looked over the table carefully. Technically, she already had a legendary artifact inside her palm, but she supposed that she should probably try something from off the table first before using her ~~deus ex machina~~ own weapon. She assembled a smelly amulet using the directions they'd learned in class, and picked it up with her other, magical-crystal-free hand.

She also pocketed some chocolate for later, just 'cause.
