Escape Artistry: Week 5, Period 3 (Thurs. 08/07)

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Today, the Danger Shop was set up like a fine restaurant, complete with small tables, moddable wait staff, and mood lighting. Standing in front of the scene and waiting for the students, Ronon was not smiling.

"As of right now, all of you are faced with a complicated and uncomfortable situation: a date you don't want to be on. I'm told this is a common problem for people on this planet. Four escape methods are listed in your handout, including Faking an Emergency, Slipping Away Unnoticed, Slipping Out the Window, and Getting Your Date to Leave. These methods assume that your date is some sort of trained assassin bent on your demise or that you're afraid of what your date would do in public if you walked out on them. Sounds like some dates McKay's been on." He smirked at the assembled teens, almost wishing Sheppard was there to share the barb.

"Go ahead and make up your own escape methods, but I hear the goal is to get out without anyone crying or drawing weapons." Ronon obviously didn't approve of this last part. Weapons should always be an option. "Good luck."

While Ronon talks, you can listen or again, tempt the knives.

Gwen looked over the handout, wondering if Professor Stinson had decided to help write it.

Michael liked not being pincushioned. He was listening.

Johnny listened and wondered at the comparison between this class and ones he's had with Stinson.

Friday raised his hand. "Can I do the sharks again instead?"

Sokka raised a hand. "I don't understand. Why would you be on a date with someone who was trying to kill you?"

Was his memory selectively filtering out Ty Lee, or was he just being hypocritical again? You decide!


"...And what's wrong with weapons?"

Helen considered this seriously and wondered if Ronon knew that she had agreed to go on a date with Rodney.

And whether she would indeed need to use one of these methods to escape. Somehow she doubted it.

"Hey!" Rodney huffed and crossed his arms at being singled out. It really wasn't fair... Dex knew nothing about him.

Inara listened to the lecture and tried not to eyeroll over the handout.

Escape Your Date [WS5]

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Find a partner at a table and one (or both!) of you attempt to escape your date. Bonus points for not getting stuck with the restaurant bill.

Michael glanced around for a partner.

Johnny decided to order something to drink while he waited for his date.

Friday took a seat at a table and fiddled with his napkin.

Since it wasn't really real, Sokka ordered a few of the most expensive things on the menu. Hopefully his date, whoever she ended up being, would appreciate them when they arrived.

He wondered if, having eaten in the Danger Shop, he'd just be hungry again when they left, and thinking about it made his head hurt.

Rodney was pretty confident in his ability to make someone leave. The "no crying" bit was going to be the challenge.

Re: Escape Your Date [WS5]

Dick sat down and thought of how to do this without playing up his real skills. No stealth, no disguises, none of that stuff.

And it was a shame, because he was pretty good at that whole 'leaving stealthily the moment you look' away thing.

Re: Escape Your Date [WS5]

Warren wasn't going to actually actively look for a partner.

He figured the best way to escape a date was to just never go on one.

But he was there if someone wanted to snag him, in any case.

TA [WS5]

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Helen's here for you. When she pings in.

Re: TA [WS5]

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Helen was here, still pretty smug about being the TA.

Ronon [WS5]

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Ronon's watching the dates, not entirely sure how this got on his syllabus.

OOC [WS5]

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

I'm still supposedly on vacation, but I'm hiding a lot of the time. Meaning, if you want Ronon to be your date, ping me on AIM or here in the OOC and I'll tag him in when I'm able!

Re: OOC [WS5]

[solo_sword]

I WANT RONON TO BE MY DATE. Oh wait, that's OOC.
