Lee, have you made a decision as to whether to move to 201 or be my assistant?


301--Trust Games

*A heap of black strips of cloth are on the desk. As you enter, you are handed one. All the desks are gone today, and the blinds are drawn and the lights are off.*

OK gang, since so many of you enjoyed the touchy-feely of yesterday *Looks at Rory and Logan and Jack and Sydney* Today you are in for one of the more interesting trust games I've ever run.

If you do not want to participate, I'll mark you absent for the day, but this isn't something I'm going to force on you. And I'll warn you, if you begin to freak out, let me know and I will pull you out.

*walks around for a minute so that can sink in*

OK, put your blindfold on. Tie it well, no peeking. I'm going to take you by the shoulders and walk you too a place in the room. You will then be responsible to find others, identify them through touch and yes or no questions only, and then keep together and move on, until you've collected everyone in one group.

*She double checks that blindfolds are tied, places her hands on your shoulders, and moves you to a place in the room*

Ok, gang. Go ahead.

*She stands back to watch*


((OOC: This game will work best if you post anonymously. I'm going to consider that everyone is here, and no one is late. This is as much a trust game for the characters as it is a knowledge game for the players.

OK, rules.
If you respond to a touching post, keep detail to a minimum. Most people can't identify anything with a little touch of their hand. Say things like "long hair" or "male" ;)

If you choose to freak out, then post in character so I know who to rescue.
If you don't want to participate, please post in character so we know who ISN'T in the room. Thanks.

I have a feeling this is going to devolve into chaos, but it's fun IRL, so I thought I'd give it a whack. Game on.

I'll join 201, thank you, ma'am.

*Takes his face in her hands*
I could kiss you Lee...now I get to sleep in on Mondays and Wednesdays.

*Actually kisses him, very quickly, on the forehead*
You are so getting an A.

*blinks* Thank you, ma'am.

*shrug* What the hell, why not? *ties on blindfold*

Rory walks in. There are huge bags under her eyes, and her skin is paler than usual. It doesn't take a genius to tell that she hasn't slept well, if at all

"Professor, I'd prefer to marked abset for this activity. Is there any way I can abstain from participating in all further trust games that involve, um, physical contact with my fellow students? I'll happily make up the work some other way."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Of course, Rory. It's ok.

*Looks at her, eyebrows furrowed*

Are you...are you doing ok?

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," she says, managing a slight smile. "Boy trouble. Oh, and thank you for the endorsement, by the way. It's going in my next ad."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm sorry if anything from this class...carried over out of the room *Looks at Logan*

If you need anything, just let me know, ok?

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I will," she says gratefully. "And...well, it's more to do with my own bad judgement than this class really." She almost smiles at the irony of the fact that she's fighting with one Logan over another.

Lee is hot for Teacher! Hah! So telling.

Not that I blame him...

[(Anonymous)]

Well...okay....

*blindfolds self*

[(Anonymous)]

She ties on the blindfold, though she's not quite sure about this

[(Anonymous)]

*Decides that since the first 2 trust games didn't kill anyone, this one probably wouldn't either, and ties on the blindfold*

*is walking through the room, with arms out slightly on either side, when a hand brushes against someone*

Hello? *listens for the person's voice in hopes of figuring out front/back/side.*

((OOC: Someone has to get this started or we'll all be refreshing like idiots all afternoon just to see nothing's changed.))

((If he doesn't wipe it off, Lee walks out with a lipstick kiss print on his forehead))

[OOC: Good point, and since you picked mine...]

That's my front.

((OOC: If something doesn't require my devoted attention, I plan to interact with the others too once we finish.))

Good to know. Right then, tall?

[(Anonymous)]

*reaches out blindly, accidentally groping you*

Ooops.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah.

[(Anonymous)]

She gasped a little, this was an...interesting game but she had to concentrate, she should be good at this.

[(Anonymous)]

Male?

[(Anonymous)]

Definitely.

[(Anonymous)]

*runs through a mental list of possible identities for the guy*

Hmmm... is there another student enrolled here of whom it could be said that he looks quite a lot like you?

[(Anonymous)]

*Is getting fairly tired of all these silly exercises, however a class is a class. Puts blindfold on*
