Sanitary Living [period 5, Tuesday]

[scrabblecyborg.livejournal.com]

Oh, please, like Hannelore would even consider holding her class outside. There was dirt there.

"Hey," she said, as her students filed into the Danger Shop -- which was made up to look like a perfectly white, sterile classroom, and which she had carefully scrubbed and disinfected as best she could before they arrived. "Um. My name's Hannelore Ellicott-Chatham. You can call me Hannelore. Or, uh, some of my friends call me Hanners. You can call me that. 'Hey you,' works too. Um, this is Winslow."

What looked like an oversized, somewhat humanoid iPod waved. "Salutations!"

"He's an AnthroMac, and he helps me out. Um, so welcome to...class. I've never taught anything before. So, um, why don't we start by going around and saying hi, and stuff, okay? Say, uh, your name, how old you are, what you want to get out of the workshop, and...um, your favorite cleaning product, okay?"

She rocked on her heels. "Um, I can start? I'm Hannelore, like I said. I'm twenty-five, I love my Roomba more than most people love their parents, and I hope to get, um, a bunch of people who understand what 'clean' means, like I do." She paused, and added. "By the way, I have severe Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. In case you can't tell."

After everyone had introduced themselves, Hannelore smiled. Kinda. Smiled twitchily, anyway. "Okay, so here's what we're doing today." She pulled out a bag, and from it pulled eight bags of plain M&M's, which she handed (okay, tossed, because soooo not risking touching these people) out, along with napkins. "I want you to sort these in whatever way makes the most sense to you. Color, numbers, shapes -- they're not all the same size circle, believe me, I checked -- whether the M is printed correctly, whatever. I wanna see what you think is logical, 'cause it'll help me later, okay? Don't eat them until I've checked, please? And I have wet naps and gloves so your hands don't get chocolatey, because ewww."

Introduce yourself! [07/10/07]

[scrabblecyborg.livejournal.com]

Don't mind how Hanners has a tendency to stare and twitch. It means she's listening.

"My name is Inara Serra, I'm fifteen years old, I would like to develop a stronger system for organization, and I...have no idea."

"My name is Sam Winchester, I'm 15 years old, I'd like to learn how to organize better, and my favorite cleaning product is probably heavy duty laundry detergent."

"I'm Zack Addy, I'm sixteen, and I'm not quite sure how I got into this workshop. I like the stuff they use to clean medical equipment."

"ANIMAL! ANIMAL!"

Animal was looking mighty spiffy today. Almost clean. For him. He even had most of the onion dip out of his fur from the welcoming picnic.

"Cedric Diggory," he said. "I'm seventeen and my favorite cleaning product would be...my wand, I guess."

"My name is Hermione Granger, I'm sixteen years old, and..." Wow. "My favorite cleaning product- if a spell doesn't count- might be Windex." Hermione has no idea. But she's not saying that.

"My name is Jim Halpert and I'm this many years old," he said, holding up nine fingers, closing his hands and then holding up seven. "I hope to learn a lot about improving my cleaning method. And my favorite cleaning product is a dirty old rag."

Sort your M&Ms [07/10/07]

You have to be able to explain to her why it makes sense to you, but anything flies.

Inara studied the candy on the table for a minute, and began sorting them by color first.

Re: Sort your M&Ms [07/10/07]

[likethegun]

Sam sat down and immediately began sorting the M&M's into color piles.

Zack opened his bag of candy, then started dividing by colour.

Animal sorted his M&M's into a big smiley face.

He may have totally misunderstood the instructions.

Re: Sort your M&Ms [07/10/07]

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

Cedric spread the M&M's out and looked at them. And then he sorted them alphabetically by color.

Brown, green, orange, red, tan, yellow.

Re: Sort your M&Ms [07/10/07]

[smartestone]

Hermione doesn't get this. But still, she's going to do it right. She immediately begins sorting them by color quickly and correctly.

Jim poured his M&Ms on the table. "Done."

Talk to Hannelore and/or Winslow [07/10/07]

They're here for the talking/complaining/squeeing.

As class finished, a not-so-bouncy Al Bhed girl with a cat-filled messenger bag walked up to front, smiling a little when she recognized the instructor. "Oh! Hi! It's you, from the counting store!"

OOC [07/10/07]

It's so typical that the day of the first workshop, I get saddled with a five hour shift at work. I'll be AFK from 3:30 EST - 9:30 or so, but I'll be playing until I go to bed and around before then.
