How to Blow Things Up: Period 2, Week 1

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Blue hair still bright, Aly waited for the class to assemble  in the clearing she'd chosen for today.

"Morning, all," she said with a grin.  "For those of who who don't know me, I'm Alianne of Pirate's Swoop.  Feel free to call me Aly, if you have a need to be formal, duani is also acceptable, but the first person to call me Miss Aly gets things thrown at them.  The class is How to Blow Things Up.  Hopefully explosions are acceptable to all of you-" she grinned at those in her Revolutions class - "Because we're going to make a lot of them."

"But not quite today.  Today I want to get to know you and talk about a few important things before anything gets blown up.  First of all, not all of our classes are going to be in the Danger Room.  We're going to be working with real explosives with the real possibility of people getting hurt.  That means that if we're working with them and I tell you to do something, you need to do it immediately.  No questions, no what-ifs, no counterpoints, get down or get out of the way or stop what you're doing." 

"If you think that's going to be a problem for you, that's fine, but you need to go find a new class now."

"Secondly, this is a class about explosives - C4, hand grenades, TNT, the like.  We're going to have a class on magical ways, but outside of that , if you have special abilities that allows you to blow up things - or set them on fire -" she glanced at Zuko if he was there "I'd prefer the focus stay on the more chemical explosives."

"And finally," she began passing out what looked like basic floorplans of the school.  "For the last class, you're each going to design a strategy for blowing up the school.  I realise the idea is a bit passé after our visitors a few Saturdays ago, but let's pretend it's not the case.  Take the floorplans, take a look at them, and keep the project in mind as the workshop progresses."

She paused, watching the class.  "Now that that's out of the way, why don't you all introduce yourselves - even those I've already met, yes, and tell me a bit about yourself as well as your familiarity or experience with making things go boom."

Tell the class who you are and three random things about yourself. Yes. Random. Don't have to be life-altering.

"Name's Samuel Anders," he said, though he did look a little weirded out by Aly's blue hair. "Everybody calls me Anders, though, so that's random thing number one. I once stole . . . um, liberated, a goldfish from a hotel in Washington, DC, and that's random thing number two. And the Caprica Buccaneers are the most awesome team in the Colonial Pyramid League. So that's three."

Seely looked just a little too excited to be in this class.

"I'm Seely Booth," he said. "Three thing. I have a little brother. It's my birthday tomorrow. I like interesting socks, ties, and belt buckles."

Molly stood up and gave a small wave to the class. "Molly Hayes. I'm sixteen and a junior now, I guess. Umm, three random things. I'm a mutant, I like to wear hats and I don't drink coffee."

"I'm Gavin Darklighter," he said, racking his brain for something random. "I grew up on a moisture farm, have already been shot, and I hate sand."

Maybe not so much random as the only things he could think of at the moment.

He's a little on the non-talkative side today.

"I'm Cally, I once was incredibly stupid and fought zombies with a flamethrower, I'm the owner of the spaceship thing on top of the dorms, and I saved the school from a mole men bomb once," she said.

"Okay, I'm Dick Casablancas. Three things..." he trailed off for a second. "I have a little brother. I like to surf and I've been arrested only one time."

"Um. I'm Charlie McGee. My favorite magazine is Rolling Stone." She blanked, looking panicked before blurting, "And I used to have a horse called Jiminy." There. Boring, but normal. She smiled in relief.

Zuko blinked and stared at Aly. "Your hair is blue."

"My name is Kou Leifoh," Kou said, thinking fast. "I'm actually a lot older than I look, I can kick higher than my head, and I like sex."

What? It was a random fact!

This was Jaina's first actual class... ever, so she watched what everyone else did until it was her turn.

"My name's Jaina Solo, I'm from a planet called Coruscant which apparently some people have heard of, I'm a twin, and I've accidentally helped blow up rooms before. Kind of. It didn't actually explode."

Rikku bounced up excitedly and waved to people. "Hiya! I'm Rikku and I'm gonna love this class. Okay, three random things. Uh. I have weird pupils! They're not circles, they're spirally things. That's one. Um, I love love love the color orange, but I'm okay with all kinds of colors so long as they're bright and happy and all that. So that's two. Uh ... I always wanted a pet monkey? How's that for three?"

"I'm Savannah Levine. I've been called That Dark Witch Brat, I guess that would be random thing number one. Several of my friends are based somehow in the Supernatural world, that would be random number two. Calling me by my middle name gets your ass handed to you, just ask Vasic."

What have you made go boom? Ever thought about it? Any training, knowledges, skills?

"I've only set off some fireworks before this," Seely said. "But I'm willing to learn more."

Charlier was taking very serious notes here, because the last thing she wants is to do this on accident. She also shot Zuko a considering look, remembering what he said yesterday in workshop about being a 'firebender.' What was that, anyway?

[Explodey 5/15] Talk to Aly

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Because she's around. And way, way too excited about getting to teach people how to blow things up all summer.

Fraser had a coat over his head. And he was scowling. "I took your advice and something bad happened."
