Survival Skills [Wednesday, Period Four]

[doubleohblonde]

Today the Danger Shop was set up to resemble a swanky bar, and Bond looked especially happy to be behind the counter. Really.

"Mixology," he said, barely even waiting for the class to finish arriving before he began, pouring the contents of several bottles into a shaker. "If there's one skill every person should master in their lifetime, it's the ability to make at least one cocktail and make it well. It will impress both your friends and your potential lovers, it can lead to exciting employment opportunities, and since the Geneva Convention has yet to rule on Jägerbombs, can provide an impromptu instrument of torture."

Putting the lid on, Bond started shaking the silver container as if it had personally offended him. "Today you will all experiment with making cocktails, both traditional recipes and your own if you feel adventurous. All the equipment you need is there for you, and the alcohol is simulated so you don't need to worry about any ill-effects," he said, carefully straining his drink into a glass. Tucking the bottles he'd used under one arm, he made his way for an out of the way table up the back, glass in hand."If you have any questions, you can ask Mr Darklighter, or figure them out on your own since this is hardly rocket science."

Listen to the Lecture - SurSki [Week 4]

[doubleohblonde]

The whole three minutes and a half of it, and wonder what crawled up there and died.

Gavin listened to the lecture...and then it was over. Best lecture ever.

Helen blinked at the brief lecture then got up to go try it out.

Wow. Short and sweet. She liked it.

Re: Listen to the Lecture - SurSki [Week 4]

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

Huh. That was a fast lecture. Adam was impressed.

Andros blinked, that was probably the quickest lecture that he had ever listened to.

Hinata mulled over the lecture, surprised by the brevity of it.

Triela pulled a slight face, but shrugged. She couldn't drink alcohol herself, but Bond was right: it might prove to be a useful skill.

Liir grinned. This should be fun.

Make Drinks! - SurSki [Week 4]

[doubleohblonde]

All kinds of moddable faux!alcohol and equipment are available, so don't be afraid to try weird things (and use your class mates to test them out on MWAA HAA HAA).

Hurley eyed the bottles.

He was wondering what would happen if you mixed tiny shots of everything.

Not that he'd drink that, because he didn't have a death wish.

"Hi, Hurley," Amber said, sidling up next to him. "I made something," she held out her glass. "Want to try it?"

She just added a bunch of stuff to a mixer, shook it up, added an olive, and voila!

"I'm not even going to ask what's in it," Hurley said. "But sure, I'll guinea pig."

He gingerly reached to take the glass.

Helen stared at the alcohol and equipment. It was all completely new to her.

Re: Make Drinks! - SurSki [Week 4]

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

Triela walked slowly over, "You need a hand?"

Not that she was an expert.

Turtle had absolutely no interest in making drinks for herself probably ever, but she did recognize the value of a skill like this for social survival.

And survival in a radio studio with a bunch of lush squirrels.

She was definitely setting to work at getting the hang of many drink and committing them to memory.

Gwynn had never made drinks before... so she was excited that her teacher was giving them free reign to do this.

Talk to Bond - SurSki [Week 4]

[doubleohblonde]

Mr Cranky-Pants is sure to pay enough attention to anything other than his drink to care, really.

Talk to the TA - SurSki [Week 4]

[doubleohblonde]

On the other hand the TA might be a safer bet...after he pings in.

Gavin wasn't cranky. But he was going to keep a safe distance from the cranky teacher.

OOC - SurSki [Week 4]

[doubleohblonde]

If anyone desperately wants detention this week, just poke Happy over there and he'll be glad to oblige, though there may be some massive slowplay going on after about 1-2PM EST.

Of course you can poke the cranky spy even if you don't want detention, just make sure to let me know either way if you do.
