Potpourri - Tuesday, June, 12, 2007 - Danger Shop

[motherboy-bluth.livejournal.com]

Buster had handwavily omg told the students to head to the Danger Shop this morning for class. When they arrived they would see that it was set up as an obstacle course with a Legends of the Hidden Temple Aztec tomb theme. Complete with a giant bust of Olmec, an Aztec god. Buster was standing at the beginning of the course in his army fatigues. When everyone had arrived he began to speak.

"Heeeey students. Today we're going to be doing some basic training for army." started Buster. "I myself was in army for a while...don't let Michael Moore dare your parents to do anything."

"Lucky for me this-" he held up his fake hand "-happened. Right before I shipped off to Iraq too! That was a close one."

"Right, so, obviously to be in army you have to meet certain physical standards." said Buster. He had never met said standards but he knew that army had them. "And today we're going to see if you meet them! I know not all of you are the um, physical activity type but do your best. I won't yell at you. Unless you want me to. I find yelling to be good motivation."

"So I want you to go through the obstacle course to try to find the Mask of Shaka Zulu. There's an interesting legend behind the mask and I'm sure Olmec would be glad to tell us about it!" Buster made a dramatic gesture towards Olmec, who remained silent. Apparently he would only talk for Kirk Fogg. "Well...screw the legend. Just get the mask. But beware! There are temple guards around! If you see one of them...I don't know, punch them or something."

"And remember, army people work together! If you see one of your classmates stuck on something you can get them out. Or don't. Rambo worked alone and he was badass." said Buster. "Okay, go when I blow the whistle! You too, T.A.!"

[OCD up! I'll be back around noon to play the temple guards Okay, I lied like a liar who lies. I should be back around 3]

Hope you wore sneakers

Annette had on pink glittery flipflops. What? They made her feel better when she put them on this morning.

An obstacle course sounded like fun though. "Woohoo!"

The Temple - The Pit of Despair

[motherboy-bluth.livejournal.com]

Climb those walls (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a230/sammie_jo_/s2r3.jpg)! Climb them! But watch out for temple guards in the ball pit!

Re: The Temple - The Pit of Despair

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Determined, despite her footwear, Annette started to climb the walls. It was pretty fun.

This is when the fact Shawn almost always wears sneakers really comes in handy. That, and the fact he's pretty athlectic. Wall climbing seems pretty fun to him, and he started grasping for handholds in the wall.

Dawn was wearing sandals, which were clearly not the footwear of choice for the modern adventurer or army recruit.

However, she'd been watching Buffy and Willow and Cordelia and Faith run in stylish footwear over the years, so she had strong examples, and it was relatively easy to find footholds and climb to the top.

Sometimes it was great to be tall and athletic. He had enough reach to get to most useful handholds and was strong enough to pull himself up easily. It ruled!

The Temple - The Spider's Lair

[motherboy-bluth.livejournal.com]

Navigate through the spider's web (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a230/sammie_jo_/s1r19.jpg) to get to the next room! And try not to wonder how the web got so sticky. Watch out for Shelob temple guards!

Re: The Temple - The Spider's Lair

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Ick. I hate spiders and their webs. Ick." She sort of just stood there, staring at it before she gingerly started to try and make her way through it.

Re: The Temple - The Spider's Lair

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

Shawn tried to move one of the webs out the way with a hand, and soon regretted that when he spent the next couple of minutes trying to get the gak that had transferred over somehow, off his skin. That just wasn't nice.

Re: The Temple - The Spider's Lair

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn navigated pretty well and was making decent time, until she turned too quickly and got some of her hair stuck in the web.

"Damn it," she said, scowling as she felt the pull. She stopped, retreated, and began separating the strands from the web.

And there were sometimes that being tall sucked. This was one of those times. It took Jim longer than he would have liked to get through this.

The Temple - The Holes Of Python

[motherboy-bluth.livejournal.com]

Crawl through the holes (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a230/sammie_jo_/s1r13.jpg), dammit! At least the guards won't be here.

Re: The Temple - The Holes Of Python

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She could do this. It looked pretty easy.

Yay! Watch her go through a hole!

Re: The Temple - The Holes Of Python

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

Okay, so this was weird, but something he could totally do.

Re: The Temple - The Holes Of Python

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

This one wasn't too problematic for Jim. The lack of guards made it that much easier.

The Temple - The Swamp

[motherboy-bluth.livejournal.com]

Scary (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a230/sammie_jo_/s1r21.jpg) in here, isn't it? Buster filled the room with water to make it more swamp-like. The temple guards probably aren't happy about being wet.

Re: The Temple - The Swamp

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"I can't...I can't do this," she whispered. "Something could be lurking in the water. I could lose a shoe. I think it might stink too."

The Temple - The Shrine of the Silver Monkey

[motherboy-bluth.livejournal.com]

The last step before you reach the room with the mask! Put together the monkey (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a230/sammie_jo_/s2r34.jpg) shrine! It's three pieces and yet it seems to confuse people.

Re: The Temple - The Shrine of the Silver Monkey

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"A monkey shrine," she said dubiously, looking at the three pieces.

She was tired, missing a shoe, and cranky. Plus that temple guard had freaked her out.

When she got done with the shrine, for some reason all you saw was monkey butt.

The Temple - The Dark Forest

[motherboy-bluth.livejournal.com]

The mask is located in one of the tree holes (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a230/sammie_jo_/s2r20.jpg). Grab it and run back to Buster before the temple guards catch you!

Re: The Temple - The Dark Forest

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

By this time Annette was moving in slow motion. Peeking between her fingers, she edged through the trees and shoved her hands in the holes until she came to the right one and grabbed the mask.

She didn't run, she didn't hurry, did one of those guards come and find her she would poke their eye out or something.

Finish!

[motherboy-bluth.livejournal.com]

Hand Buster the mask and wonder why those temple guards look like they're from a movie you saw.

Re: After Class

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She handed Buster the mask and couldn't think of anything worthwhile to say.

What? She lost a cute shoe and she wasn't going back for it.

Talk To T.A.

[motherboy-bluth.livejournal.com]

Once he pings in and if he's not too tired from the obstacle course.

After Class

[motherboy-bluth.livejournal.com]

Buster is having a civilized chat with one of the temple guards after class. They might be making plans for dinner.

Re: After Class

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Mr. Bluth?" Annette asked after she approached him. "Um, I won't be here next week for class. I'm sorry, but I'm going home for the week."

OOC

Next term? Double Dare physical challenge obstacle course. Totally.
