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

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.

Warren did not want another hug. Warren wanted the stupid hyper girl to go away and leave him alone.

He conveyed this feeling as clearly as he could by narrowing his eyes and looking at Rikku with the darkest glare he could possibly muster.

"You seem grumpy," Rikku announced cheerfully. "I bet I can help."

"No," Warren grunted. "No, you can't."

Could the glare get any darker? Probably not. He was trying, though.

"I helped last time," Rikku said innocently. "What was it that helped last time? I forget."

"It didn't help. You aren't allowed to try again."

And he certainly wasn't going to remind her, either.

"I thought it did," she mused. "I mean, it helped me plenty. Must've helped you some."

"No. No, it didn't."

Warren was edging away from the crazy girl, now.

"Iiiiiiiiiii remember," Rikku grinned. "You were totally grumpy and needed a hug."

"I'm always grumpy. I don't need a hug," Warren grunted. And continued to edge away. Slowly. No sudden movements. Or was he supposed to play dead?

Or was playing dead for Mad Scientists? No. No, they tried to steal your brain if you did that. He should have paid closer attention to some of the more boring lecture classes back at Sky High.

"Hugs might help with the grumpiness," she announced. "I wonder how we could test that out?"

"Find someone," Warren said. Tersely. "Who isn't me." He was more terse, really. Very grumpy. "And hug them."

"You know," Rikku said, with an amazing grasp of logic, "if you had just hugged me at the start of this? I would've shut up by now. You'd be enjoying a Rikku-free day already."

Warren narrowed his eyes and briefly considered just lighting himself on fire and becoming thoroughly un-huggable that way.

"Get it over with," he grunted, instead.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Rikku loved hugging grumpy-butts. She added extra squeezes and everything.

"Seeeeeee? That's not so bad, now is it?" she grinned.

[personal profile] peace_n_war 2008-07-11 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes," Warren replied. "It is. Are you done yet?"

Apparently, Warren appreciated the extra squeezes less than Rikku did.
the_merriest: (yunie hugs 2.0)

Then he'd get a few more.

"Allllllllllmost," she said, sighing happily. "Mmmmmmmmmmm. Hugs are awesome."
peace_n_war: (Bitchplz)

Re: Lecture [WS1]

[personal profile] peace_n_war 2008-07-11 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah." Grunt. "Let me know when you're done."

Because, really, there was only so much standing around, stiff as a board, that Warren could manage, here.

"I'm good," she decided, straightening up and beaming at him. "Until next time. Thanks!"
