Escape Artistry: Week 1, Period 3 (Thurs. 07/10)

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

When students assembled in the Danger Shop, they'd find a long table with screw drivers, hammers, awls, and crowbars near a long wall lined with a variety of doors. Some were obviously thin, wooden, interior doors with privacy doorknobs and some were much thicker, metal, exterior doors with deadbolts and sturdier doorknobs. All were locked and once students came into the Danger Shop they'd discover the entrance had disappeared.

Standing in front of the doors with his arms crossed was a huge man with wild dreadlocks, facial hair, and intricate tattoos on his forearm and neck. He wore a leather tank-style vest, worn leather pants, heavy boots, and a wicked smile.

"This is Escape Artistry," Ronon grunted the words at those assembled on-time. "Stupid name for a class, but I didn't pick it. They said day one is about keeping it easy and getting to know you. Meet the doors." Ronon gestured his thumb toward the wall of doors. "You break one down, we'll do introductions on the other side."

Ronon approached a sturdy, steel, dead-bolted door and delivered a well-placed kick to the point where the lock was mounted, tearing the deadbolt out of the metal door frame and causing the door to cave in on itself and smash loudly to the floor. Ronon snorted his disappointment with the door's structure before glancing back at the students. "If you need 'em, there's tools 'n stuff on the table. I don't care how you do it, just get through. I'll be waiting on the other side."

After he stepped through the rubble into the room on the other side, the door he'd destroyed repaired itself through the magic of the Danger Shop. Students would have to work either together or alone to beak down a door and escape the sealed room.

Lecture [WS1]

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Not much of a lecture, but react, whisper, or stare.

Helen listened intently as she looked at the doors.

Teyla had to admit, she was very intrigued by the teacher for this class. She wasn't staring though, just...cataloging how he looked.

Oh, this class seemed fun. And that guy had awesome dreadlocks. More people should have dreadlocks.

Gwen watched the teacher and his arms intently.

And listened, yes, that too.

Warren was already looking at the doors, thoughtfully. And musing on whether or not being in the classroom here meant he was allowed to burn things.

Probably not.

Jaina listened, figuring this would be pretty easy. And if the teacher flew anything, he might be sort of hot.

Michael was eyeing the doors, already considering what he might do to them.

Gwynn was studying the doors as the teacher spoke.

Sokka was in awe. This class ROCKED!!!

Andrew didn't really hear any of the lecture. He was busy daydreaming about dreadlocks and arm muscles.

Dick's main concern was whether or not he'd be able to justify being able to take down a door according to his cover story.

Then he remembered that he was both a carny and they're supposed to be scam artists, so that was a yes.

Break Down a Door [WS1]

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Partner up or go it alone. Use the tools or use brute force. If you hurt yourself, no one's taking you to the clinic.

Helen turned her right arm into the Living Blade, sliced through one of the doors and stepped into the next room.

Warren walked up to the door and eyed it critically for a moment. He could have chosen a wooden door, lit his hands on fire, and just burned it down.

But that would have been too easy. He'd chosen one of the heavy, metal doors instead, and eyed the hinges thoughtfully before he headed back to grab a screwdriver.

Gwen frowned as she picked up a crowbar and set to work on the hinges of a door. This would have been much easier with the tech back at Torchwood.

[the_merriest]

Oooooooooh. YES! This class was awesome and she really, really hoped it wasn't cheating for her to use some of the goodies she had in her leg-pouch.

If it was, she'd totally, totally just break another door down. Doors were fun anyway.

For now, she was gonna take a bomb core and a lightning gem and whip herself up a Potato Masher. Ooooh, it'd be neat to see how much of the door was left!

Re: Break Down a Door [WS1]

Friday focused his attention on removing the door knob containing the lock. He was glad to not have one of the big dead-locked doors, because he managed to get the knob off and disable the lock that way.

Michael went for one of the heavy metal doors, for a challenge, and set to work on the lock.

It didn't last very long.

Introduce Yourself [WS1]

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

After getting through a door, students would find Ronon chilling out in a room filled with comfortable furniture, waiting for some company from the other side.

"Tell me your name, why you're here, and who you're gonna be in 20 years."

Re: Introduce Yourself [WS1]

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

"My name is Helen Haras-Uquara. I am here because these types of skills would have been very useful when I was Walking the Bounds and I would like to be prepared should something like that happen again. In twenty years I will be serving as the Hand of Uquar. Something I should be doing right now," she said with some annoyance.

Talk to Ronon [WS1]

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

He's there for you, really.
