History in Living Colour - Friday, Period 3 (Week 6)

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

Upon entering the Danger Shop, the students were greeted with a door and a whiteboard. The messy writing, all in capital letters, read

'GO THROUGH THE DOOR ALONE OR IN PAIRS. MAKE FRIENDS. DON'T GET KILLED. WHEN THE PROGRAM FREEZES, YOU CAN LEAVE.

THE DOCTOR'

The Doctor wasn't present, but chances were he was around somewhere.

Talk Amongst Yourselves

Before you go in or after.

Adam wondered where the Doctor could be. They'd probably find out soon enough, right?

Go Through the Door

On the other side, the students would find themselves in a very green, picturesque valley. The valley was surrounded by mountains that would be difficult to climb. Two buildings, a small thatched-roof house and a barn of sorts, were the only structures in sight.



They were the only sign of life in the area. If the students got closer, they would see a Japanese man carrying water a bucket towards the house.

Gwen watched the man for a moment before trying out a hesitant "Hello?"

He looked at her, but didn't move at first. Then, as if having thought about it very carefully and then made a decision, he ignored her greeting and continued walking. He kept her sight the whole time, even going out of his way to do so.

That wasn't exactly promising. "You wouldn't happen to know where we are?"

Inara, remembering the lesson about Mary, Queen of Scots, decided to observe for a bit before saying anything, so she walked as quietly as she could to a copse of trees so she could hide behind them.

The man continued to carry his bucket towards the house. He was confident in his stride, but kept looking up towards the closest mountains from time to time.

It was beautiful there. Peyton smiled and nodded at the man.

When he spotted Peyton, he looked at her suspiciously. The hair was a dead give-away that she wasn't local. He called to her in archaic Japanese, jerking his head to tell her to go away.

She put her hands up and tried to look as small and innocent and lost as possible.

Adam took a moment to familiarize himself with the new surroundings. Funny how he was suddenly reminded of his trip to a past Korea.

The man spotted Adam and paused for a moment to take in his appearance. He shouted something that resembled 'go away' in archaic Japanese and kept walking towards his house.

Dick walked through the door and checked the new landscape out.

Dick didn't know much Japanese, but he managed to say, "Konnichiwa," to the man.

Re: Go Through the Door

He stopped and eyed Dick, then turned and continued towards the house without a word. Friendly guy.

Talk to the Doctor

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

If you manage to find him. Good luck with that unless it's an emergency.

Talk to the TAs

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

Poor saps.

Re: Talk to the TAs

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

Peyton was here. And a little down about the Homecoming thing.

Dick was here and he was happy that Batman had trained to be a ninja, which trickled down enough to help Dick out a little here.

The idea is you go, try to make friends with the guy who turns out to be a samurai and try not to get killed. He won't speak any English and will be very suspicious of anyone coming onto his turf. It's intended to be a "hey, let's see how they go when they're thrown into a historical period they probably don't know much about!"

The Doctor is lurking around, but will only come out if someone shouts for him if they're in need. Most play will be in the morning and then evening. Plenty going on today, so no need to worry about playing here unless you desperately want to! :)
