Escape Artistry: Week 4, Period 3 (Thurs. 07/31)

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

When students entered the Danger Shop, they were again faced with a watery situation that looked an awful lot like their current Australian port. Everyone had been handwavily instructed to wear swimming gear, and if they failed to remember, the room would provide it for them and they could handwavily change. Once everyone was appropriately dressed, they were given handouts, ushered onto the waiting boat, and taken quickly out to sea.

"Like you saw from the handout, today you're escaping from sharks," Ronon said. "Remember to only engage the shark if it attacks you first. If you play dead, it's less likely to attack than if you flail in terror." He looked at various students to be sure they were paying close attention to these instructions. "Any questions before you make your escape?"

While Ronon talks, mingle, be horrified that this is what radio inspired in the teacher.

Sharks. Johnny could just torch them, right? Hm.

Helen wasn't terribly thrilled about being dropped in with the sharks, but she thought perhaps she might be able to control them the way she did so many other animals.

Andrew was pretty sure he was going to throw up. He was sure the teacher hated him. This was his private hell.

Penance.

Gwen was harbouring absolutely no fantasies about pushing Ronon into shark-infested water.

None.

At all.

Unlike most of his classmates, Sokka had SEEN a shark attack before. So he knew that rule #1 was STAY IN THE BOAT.

He stared at Ronon with an expression of disbelief.

Gwynn was looking very curious and interested about today's task.

Once again, Jaina sort of thought of class as practice. Just wetter.

Well, a shark bested Dick on land recently. It was his turn to best one in the water.

Michael wasn't afraid of sharks.

He was afraid of the ocean.

Ooooh, sharks! They didn't look half so scary as Maelspikes. This could be fun.

Questions [WS 4]

This is where you can refuse to participate or ask questions, etc.

Re: Questions [WS 4]

[ihaveniceteeth.livejournal.com]

Gwen raised her hand. "Can we find a chip shop and eat the sharks instead? Australians are supposed to do a decent flake."

Re: Questions [WS 4]

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

"Um, hi," Andrew said, approaching Ronon slowly. "I think this might be a good time to mention that, despite my slim and toned frame, I'm not a strong swimmer. Do you happen to have any arm floaties? Oh, or maybe one of those lightweight, metal anti-shark suits? A cage would also be nice."

Re: Questions [WS 4]

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka raised his hand. "Yeeeah... I don't suppose we can have some sort of weapons?

Re: Questions [WS 4]

Rikku raised her hand. "I just wanted to say that you rock, sir," she said, nodding.

What? More teachers ought to let them kill fiends. Freakin' awesome.

Shark Attack [WS 4]

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

You've been dropped in the water amongst a bunch of bull sharks (http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/staticfiles/NGS/Shared/StaticFiles/animals/images/primary/bull-shark.jpg). They're not very nice and rather hungry. What do you do? (Other than kill the professor for chumming the water.)

Johnny was going to try and stay near other students, but seriously? A shark even acted like it was going to attack, it would be roasted shark for everyone. Mm.

Swimming was not something Helen had done much of, but she could keep herself afloat without too much flailing. She watched the sharks carefully, focusing her attention to be ready to tell them to stay away if they got too close. She'd never tried to control a shark, but she figured it was worth a try.

Re: Shark Attack [WS 4]

Gwen treaded water, trying not to splash too much or start humming the Mandibles theme.

She never thought she'd be missing the blowfish.

TA [WS 4]

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

She won the job fair and square.

Re: TA [WS 4]

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Helen was here if anyone needed anything.

Ronon [WS 4]

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

He's paying close attention to the class, ready to intervene as they go up against the sharks as necessary. *cough* Andrew.

OOC [WS 4]

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

I spent all day yesterday thinking it was Thursday. Whoops!

Also, he's totally crushing a can against his forehead in the post icon. *loves*

I'm sort of disappointed that so far no one's just tried to swim faster than all the other students yet. *shakes fist at the Fandommy hero types*
