When everyone had shown up and taken a seat, Dana started out by warning, "Don't get too comfortable. You're not going to be here long. Now, we're going to start doing some hands-on work here in class, and this means we have to start from the beginning. Also known as the very bottom. Welcome to the life of the production assistant.

"The production assistants are also known as gophers, because they go for everything. They're the ones we send on errands, make do the menial labor that won't get us in trouble, send off to do the little boring stuff we don't have time to do or just don't want to because we have PA's. It's sometimes hard work, sometimes extremely, extremely boring, you don't always have the information you need and have to improvise to get it right because you'd better get it right, and to top it all off, it pays like crap. It's what we call 'paying your dues'. No, I never had to do it, if you're wondering, but I know plenty of people who have so that makes it better." No, it didn't.

"What I have for you today is a list of assignments that I picked at random, out of a hat, and assigned to your names," she said, walking around to hand every student an index card with their assignment on it. You have until the end of class to get them done. Be back here by then, and if lunch gets here, then you have something to take with you. Now go. Shoo. Get it done."

[If you don't want to play it out, or if there's a post you need that hasn't gone up, feel free to handwave having done the assignment. Make it as easy or difficult as you want. Also, if there's anything of Dana's that might require modding (cell phone, computer), it's fair game, do with it what you will, just know if you break it she might fail your ass.]

Adora- I need fifty copies of this meeting agenda, now. No, I don't know where a copier is, just find one.
Jack- Stand there. No, don't say a word. Just stand by and wait for instructions.
Claire- Get me some old news articles on Larry Byrd from the library.
Hannibal- Pick up lunch. It's waiting for pickup at Ching Tai under 'Whitaker'. There's ten meals included, along with drinks.
Dinah- Drop off this film at the Photo Hut. We need it before the end of class, so I need you to get it back here before the hour's up.
Lois- I need a prop. Go get me a football we can use during the broadcast.
Robin- My cell phone's broken. Go take it wherever it goes to get repaired.
Jenny- Get me two skinny vanilla lattes. No, three. And make one of them regular. And one of them needs an extra shot of espresso in there.
Turtle- My computer's broken. I need you to call tech support and find out what's wrong with it. I keep getting error 4005's or something, I don't know.

Jack... would stand there like he got a degree from one of those finer institutions, waiting for the further instructions.

He's waiting. And waiting.

Hannibal took his assignment and sort of gawked. That was a lot of lunches. He really hoped that he wouldn't have to make two trips.

Adora blinked, she was going to have to find out what and where a copier was located. This could prove difficult.

Holy crap, easiest assignment ever. Lois had a football in her room.

Ack! Dinah grabbed the film and ran before Dana even got down the rest of the list.

Claire thought hers was easy. It was even Cal's day at the library! She headed out ~~or will once the post goes up~~ before Ms. Whitaker could make it worse.

Jenny read the notecard twice, then rewrote the list as:

One skinny vanilla latte
One skinny vanilla latte, extra shot
One regular vanilla latte
One black coffee for me

She hoped that was right.

Then she dashed out the door for the Perk. Her pack of cigarettes was out of her pocket before she was even out the door.

Oh, joy. Tech guys. Thankfully, Turtle knew how to deal with tech guys for this and that around the store. She settled in in front of the computer, pulled out her cell, and went to the task.

Robin had to think for a moment, then he grabbed the phone, and made great long hops out of the room.
