The Right Tools, Tuesday Period Four

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"We were going to talk blunt objects today," Kerrigan said to the class, looking distinctly annoyed. For one, all the sharp edges of her wings were covered in bubblewrap, and so was most of her hair.

She was not amused. "However, since the island seems to have this need to intervene with my plans, we're just going to take said blunt objects and divest them of bubblewrap."

She pointed at a series of staffs in the corner. They were all wrapped in the stuff. As were the tables, the board, and at least part of the floor. "Keep working until the bubbles go away," she muttered, "I don't care how you do it. Just get it out of my sight. See it as a practical exam."

Listen to Kerrigan

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

It's not really much of a lecture.

Lee managed to hold his laughter...

...mainly because he still had that angry frakking girlfriend who was a bird with him and she would not stop pecking him when she got the chance.

Jen wasn't laughing.

Mostly because her Chronomorpher was still covered in bubblewrap.

Actually, she'd woken up this morning completely swaddled in the stuff herself, which -- what was up with that? Honestly, she hadn't been in the habit of getting herself beaten black and blue on a daily basis in almost a year now.

Alice had to wonder at the island's decorating scheme. Perhaps it was National Bubblewrap Day and no one had told her.

Jack boggled. So it wasn't just his boots that were bubblewrapped for today. It included weapons.. and.. teachers?

Put An End To The Bubblewrap

Get a staff. Pop some bubbles, slice the stuff off, whatever you'd like. She'd enjoy it if someone tackled the tables, too. And the seats. And the...

Lee was still moving a little slowly and gingerly but this wasn't so hard so he grabbed a staff and started to work on the bubblewrap.

Adah left him alone...mostly.

Gwen took to popping bubble-wrap with no small amount of glee.

As Liir had had to remove the bubble wrap from his broom this morning, he was familiar enough with how to pull the nonsense off.

He dove in with the irritation of someone who'd never experienced the joy of popping the bubbles.

Jen grabbed a staff and, after a brief torrent of popping bubbles to get herself a decent grip on it, found a table in the corner away from everyone else and started whaling away.

Hard to tell if the look of glee on her face was due to the exercise itself or the glorious, wonderful, inexplicably happiness-inducing storm of bubble-popping that ensued.

Alice wasn't the type to sit and pop bubble-wrap. It made an interesting noise; so did many things.

Such as a vorpal blade, cleanly slicing through layers of bubble wrap in one pure stroke, leaving the layers to fall away with a light tug.

There was an art to it, pressing deep enough to get all the layers but not damage the staffs underneath. It took a few tries to perfect, but she was rather pleased with the results.

And somewhat itching for more targets. She rather hoped her teacher wouldn't be too upset by her impertinence, if she began slicing anything bubble-wrapped in her vicinity.

It had been far too long since her blade had sang for her.

Jack dug in his pockets, looking for something--a hah! His boot knife! There, in his boot!

He started hacking at the bubblewrapped items, trying to see what was underneath. Huh. It's a stick.

Hoshi found this to be rather enjoyable.

Talk to the TA

Once she signs in!

River was here. She would help with bubblewrap popping should anyone need it. Even if you happened to be called Lee Adama.

Talk to Kerrigan

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

She is not amused.

After the class was over, Karal arrived with a deer walking calmly (though there was a distinctly irritated set to her ears) on his left side and a Firecat on his right. "Excuse me, Professor Kerrigan?" he said diffidently.

Jeff came into the classroom at the end, carrying a turtle who was looking rather stern about this whole operation. "Professor Lieutenant Kerrigan--" he started.

And stopped.

Utterly frozen.

"I almost feel like I should join the parade," Lee said, just letting Adah sit on his shoulder since she could peck him easily there and that seemed to make her happy.

"Professor Kerrigan?" Helen said cautiously. "Would you like - I mean, I think I could help get some of the bubblewrap off of your wings. With my arm, I mean. It would be safer because when my arm's a knife I can still feel everything so there wouldn't be a risk of cutting you."

OOC

Because I'm cruel to my characters. Mocking of the bubblewrap situation to Kerrigan's face might lead to punishment, though, so tread carefully!
