[Computer Science - Week 12, 4th Period]

[behindeyesonly.livejournal.com]

Computer Science was in the Danger Room today like every other class, apparently, though as everyone walked in, the room looked like nothing more than a large arena.

"So, following last week with the war games, here's another way of simulating real world events. The Danger Room, as some of you know, is a resource the teachers of Fandom have access to in case they want to demonstrate something or have students participate in an activity that would be otherwise impossible in a classroom setting."

The brightly lit interior of the Danger Room disappeared suddenly, leaving the students standing in the alley way beside a small warehouse-like building in the middle of a city.

"I mocked up a simulation for you guys, but it's not as in depth as this kind of technology can achieve when expertly plotted and programmed," he said, leading them up the ramp to the inside of the building. People walked around, leading bicycles or watching tv in the loft area, ignoring the students for the moment while Logan continued. "If you put enough effort in, this can be absolutely seamless and difficult to tell from the real thing. As it is, there are a few glitches that can show you that, at the end, they're not actually there."

He gestured at one guy with a bicycle, who headed down the ramp with his bike and disappeared around the corner -- a moment later, the guy walked in the back door of the room, collected his bike, and walked down the ramp again.

"Go ahead and talk to some of the people around here and see how limited they are in conversation," he said. "End of the class, I expect you to be able to tell me about at least one of these people, at least enough to give their name and what city this is supposed to be in."

Talk to your fellow students while Logan lectures.

Jam Pony -- Dispatch Counter

[behindeyesonly.livejournal.com]

There's a man with a headset who doesn't look pleased to see you.

Rikku is going to try talking to all of the people, because it's not like she ever shuts up anyway. The guy in the headset looking grumpy isn't helpful, but maybe he won't be too bad, right?

"Hi," she says. "So, what's this counter for?"

Re: Jam Pony -- Dispatch Counter

[behindeyesonly.livejournal.com]

"Work, Missy," the guy said in a loud, dismissive monotone as he leaned against the counter from the inside. "The kind honest people do instead of sit around on their duffs all day."

Nova decided to talk to the guy with the headset. He just needed to figure out what to say.

"Hello." It was a good start.

"Don't have time for hellos, pal," the guy said loudly, impatient. "What do you want?"

Jam Pony -- Lockers

[behindeyesonly.livejournal.com]

There's a skinny guy who looks kind of anxious.

Willow gave a little wave. "Hi."

Re: Jam Pony -- Lockers

[behindeyesonly.livejournal.com]

"Hi," the guy said quickly, before looking up at Willow. "Hey. Uh, have you seen a package--" He held up his hands, indicating something smaller than, maybe, a fridge. "--anywhere around here?"

Re: Jam Pony -- Lockers

[the_merriest]

Rikku wanders up to him and nods. "Are you okay?"

Re: Jam Pony -- Lockers

[behindeyesonly.livejournal.com]

"Dude," the guy whined, hitting his forehead against the lockers. "Dude, I am so dead."

Jam Pony -- Lounge

[behindeyesonly.livejournal.com]

There's a pretty girl watching the TV broadcast.

Re: Jam Pony -- Lounge

[the_merriest]

"Hi!" Rikku bounces onto a seat near the girl and looks at the TV. "What'cha watching?"

Re: Jam Pony -- Lounge

[behindeyesonly.livejournal.com]

The girl glanced at Rikku, then looked at the TV again. "Not much. TV's kinda boring," she said.

Re: Jam Pony -- Lounge

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco tried to look casual as he walked through the lounge.

Jam Pony -- Loft

[behindeyesonly.livejournal.com]

There's some guy hanging out - if you're a girl he's probably already smiled at you.

Re: Jam Pony -- Loft

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami noticed that someone at least seemed friendly.

"Hi." she said a bit shyly, hoping the guy actually was friendly.

Re: Jam Pony -- Loft

[the_merriest]

Rikku walks up to the last guy and blinks a few times.

"Whoa, Alec? Is that really you?!" She looks around nervously. "We had to move the box into the hallway last night. Wayyyy too creepy."

Jam Pony -- Entrance

[behindeyesonly.livejournal.com]

Logan's there to get the names, or be asked questions if that's what you need.

Re: Jam Pony -- Entrance

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"That girl is Max, and we are in Seattle." Ami said. "So... the guy i talked to seemed programed to not talk about himself except to hit on people..."

Re: Jam Pony -- Entrance

Later, Rikku found Logan and recited her handy list of what was what.

"Okay, so. The grumpy dude with the headset? His name is, uh." She tried to decipher the handwriting on her slip of paper and failed. "I don't know. But he wrote it here, and that should totally count. He runs this bike messenger place, and I'm glad he's not real 'cause he thinks I'm starting work here."

"The real shakey dude? He lost a package and is totally wigging about it. I didn't get his name at all but he said we're in Seattle so that's a bonus."

"The girl over there in the lounge is Max, and she's upset about the news 'cause she's a transgenics and lots of normal people think bad things about them 'cause the government sucks and lies about them. Kinda like the Al Bhed thing."

"And this last guy is Alec, but not Alec that's in cheerleading with me, except it kinda seems like him but different. I think he's a transgenics, too, 'cause of what he said about Max. And he totally thinks we're going out for drinks or something and so I'm kinda glad he's not real, too, cause I seriously can't."

She took a deep breath. "I think that's it. They seem like neat people. Are they friends of yours?"

I totally have Alec-mun's permission for this. Oh yes, so convenient.
