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]

The Temple - The Pit of Despair

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!

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.

A temple guard crawled out of the ball pit and made a reach for Shawn.

Ah, now that might be a problem, Shawn not so fond of climbing when some ugly ass temple guard is clinging a death grip onto his ankle.

So, he did what he normally does. Which is yell, "Oh, c'mon dude, get off," and shake his foot around.

Yeah, like that's going to work. The guard roared at Shawn and pulled down at his leg.

Shawn flailed his leg around a bit more, still clinging to the wall as best he could and aiming to kick the nasty looking thing while it was all distracted shouting at him.

The kick made the guard's nose fly off it's face. He let go of Shawn's ankle and fell back into the ball pit.

"Eugh." Shawn grimaced and started moving up again, hoping very much to avoid another encounter like that.

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!
