Survival Skills [Wednesday, Period Four]

[doubleohblonde]

As the class entered the classroom, they would have found Bond leaning against the front desk.

"Good afternoon class," he began after they had all arrived. "For those of you who haven't taken a class with me before, my name is Bond, you may address me as Professor Bond, or sir."

"This class is Survival Skills," Bond continued. "And really, the name should be self-explanatory, in this class you will be learning about a number of skills that over the years I have to be extremely beneficial to my continued survival. Since I have, on occasion, led an interesting life, some of these may seem slightly out of the ordinary, but that doesn't diminish their value any."

"Now, for our first lesson, we'll keep things simple, introduce yourself to the rest of the class and tell us your name, year, why you're taking the class, one survival skill you feel you have, and one that you think might be useful to learn."

"Oh, one more thing," Bond said, running his finger down the class list. "If Mr Darklighter is here, could he please see me after class."

Gavin loved first classes because there was no note taking required. He could just sit and relax.

Hurley thought the teacher sounded cool. Authoritative. He just hoped he wasn't a hard grader.

Amber was listening to Professor Bond. Quietly admiring him.

Gwynn was paying close attention to what the teacher was saying.

If Turtle seemed a little bouncy or apprehensive while listening to Mister Bond, well...that was probably because she was. A bit.

Liir was listening. Even if there was nothing to listen to. Because if there was something more important than surviving, he didn't know what it was.

Hinata wasn't entirely sure how useful this class would be to her, but...

Well, as usual, she was listening.

Adam listened to what was being said and occasionally took some notes.

Introductions - SurSki [Week 1]

He wants to know a lot, doesn't he?

"Gavin Darklighter. I'm a senior and I'm taking this class because I know it'll be helpful for when I go back home," he said. "One survival skill I have is the ability to endure long campaigns without too much exhaustion on my part. One that might be useful is stealth. Better stealth."

"My name's Hugo Reyes, but everyone calls me Hurley. I'm, like, a junior? The class seemed good, since I wanted to be able to, you know... survive things?" Hurley's face scrunched, he knew that didn't sound great. "I'm kinda spry, even though I'm big, so that's kind of a skill, right? As for learnin' stuff, well... I don't know. That's kind of why I signed up."

"I'm Amber Atkins. I'm a senior and in taking this class I'm hoping that it will teach me how to take care of myself in case I'm ever on the run. I need to be able to survive against this... there is a particular woman who would like to see me dead. Call her crazy if you want, but I thought this class would be beneficial. Also? I don't really have any skills other than throwing a good punch."

"I'm called Andros," Andros said, "I'm a sophomore. I'm taking this class because it will be important for me to be able to use survival skills back home. One survival skill I do have is self defense,"

"My name is Helen Haras-Uquara. I am a sophomore and I'm taking this class because I think the skills could have helped me in the past and may well help me in the present. I succesfully survived almost two years Walking the Bounds in different worlds, which required a number of different survival skills."

"Hello," Turtle gave the class a small smile as she introduced herself, "my name is Turtle Wexler and I'm a junior. I'm taking this class because I've learned, especially attending this school, that it's important to always be prepared for anything, especially something dangerous and especially when you're a relatively average girl like myself without superpowers. I think that, if anything, one survival skill that I have is a permanent weapon; even before Fandom opened my eyes to frequent danger, I've always had one heck of a kick for defense. One skill I would like to learn..."

She paused her little speech, thoughtfully frowning. "Well, I'm not really sure. I think I could stand to really learn how to be more calm and cool and collected in a bad situation, though, which probably helps with survival a lot."

"I'm Ender Wiggin," Ender said. He sat at the back of the class, paying careful attention. "I'm a freshman. I'm looking to learn a few things that might be useful outside of a school." It was a delicate way of putting it, for certain. "I know how to feed, dress, and defend myself." Careful.

"My name's Ronan Nolan," he began, "and I'm a senior. I chose this class because I'll likely be spending some time in unfamiliar terrain, once I graduate -- I'm a wizard, and past experience with errantry means I'll likely be going off-world. There's no telling what I might encounter, if I do." He smiled a little. "One of the best survival skills I already have is because I'm a wizard: I can talk with anything." Ronan paused, considering a moment. "I suppose what I'd most like to learn is how to identify plants that are safe to eat, and if there's any way to test that in the field."

"My name is Gwynn Hood and I'm a junior. I'm taking this class because I am always willing to learn new ways to survive those that would like to see me harmed back in my own world."

"My name is Triela. I'm here because Hilshire thought there was something I could learn here... apparently," she rolled her eyes as she said it. "My main survival skill is killing people before they can kill me." She cocked her head, "I find that works pretty well for most situations, really."

Talk to Bond - SurSki [Week 1]

[doubleohblonde]

He's there after class, for Gavin and anyone else who wants to talk to him.

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

As requested, Gavin stopped by after class.

"Professor?"

OOC - SurSki [Week 1]

[doubleohblonde]

Because it's bad form to end the world during the first week back.
