fandomhigh | The Art of Cool: Final, Period 2 (Friday, April 25)

Tink was so excited! Was Barney excited? He should be! This was their final! Tink had never written a final before, she hoped that they had done a good job. It was much easier once Barney explained that finals were stupid and they should go for the amusement factor.

Barney laughed evilly and whispered quietly to Tink.

Tink squeed and clapped her hands. Oh! Oh! This was going to be so much fun! Tell them about it, Barney!

"Welcome, Art of Cool students to your Final Exam," Barney announced dramatically deciding that if Tink was ready, the students had better be ready. "Today we have assembled you in the Danger Shoppe to assess what you've learned from this course. And to entertain ourselves one last time via Obstacle Course. God, I love teaching!"

Tink had to admit she'd been skeptical, but this teaching gig? Not nearly so scarring as she'd feared. Of course, it helped that she and Barney were already so cool that it probably hurt for the lesser types to be around them. Don't worry, lesser types! Your lameness hurts us, too!

Barney clutched his chest, "Truly and deeply." He hoisted a rather large nerf-ball launcher over his head. "Do not worry that your task seems simple, for as you progress through the Final Obstacle Course, you will risk being fired upon by both of your teachers. Completely randomly. And did I mention we have deadly aim?"

They did! Tink's own nerf ball launcher was much smaller than Barney's, but still much larger than, say, Tink. They would be watching and grading the students' performance through the obstacle course and taking in very serious considerations like style and performance and agility and not just when a really funny time would be to thwap someone in the head with a nerf ball. After all, they were professional educators. This was a very scientific final for reasons that the students were too dim to understand.

"Meaning you might randomly be shot with a nerf ball," Barney explained for those dim ones. "Now, may we present to you your Final Obstacle!"

[ooc: Have at!]

Obstacle 2 is a 10-foot-long, 3-foot-wide, 4-foot-deep ball pit filled with blue, red, yellow and green balls. Because it's not a freaking obstacle course without a ball pit, that's why.

And it's not Barney and Tink without evil. So besides the fact that you're not to have removed your ball gown, this ball pit resembles a junk drawer: there are paper clips, rubber bands, pencils, twisty-ties, batteries, loose change, and other such moddable things thrown in haphazardly with the balls to hinder your search.

Your Objective: There is one purple ball in that mess of red, green, blue, and yellow. Find it. No fun taking off the heels.

Ron has never worn heels. Which is why he fell head first into the gratuitous ball pit.

"This is a bloody useless exercise!" he shouted.

At some point, it appeared Ron may need to wonder if nerf balls could cause concussions. What with the steady stream raining in his vicinity as he complained.

"Stop shooting at my head!" Ron shouted. "It's not funny! Not funny at all."

[ooc: Yes. Yes it is.]

Tink might somewhat disagree on that point, regarding the humor value of the head-shooting.

Tink was also aiming lower than that.

"STOP THAT!" Ron shouted as he flailed about the ball pit. "It isn't proper to shoot students!"

God help everyone if Snape ever heard about this place.

Oddly enough, Amber was enjoying herself. She dove right in; ball gown, heels, and all, to search for that purple ball.

Dick had dressed up like a woman for Halloween a couple of times so he was better at maneuvering in heels than most guys would be.

"Hey! Free rubber band!" Dick said. "I'm keeping this!"

He wrapped the rubber band around his wrist and continued on his search.

This was not fair. This was not fair, and this was not funny, and dear god, was that a penny in his heel?

Romeo squirmed through the balls in search of the purple one.

Dōjima wore heels every day, so that wasn't an issue.

"Fifty bucks and a pizza for whoever finds the stupid ball for me," she announced, sitting on the edge of the ball pit. "I am not ruining my manicure pre-dance."

Easy. River stepped into the pit, trying to locate the purple ball.

Robin got lost.

"Aaaaaaah." Marco summarized when some of the balls started going up his skirt.
