Revolutions: Week 7, Period 5

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly looked just a little gleeful as she waited for students to arrive in the Danger Room.  Actually  substitute very for just a little and that's where she was.  If she was embarrassed about the weekend, it wasn't showing.  Once everyone arrived, she spoke up. 

"Inside this," she said, holding up a small clay globe, "is blazebalm.  It's an explosive made with magic from my world.  Once the blazebalm touches oxygen, it ignites.  It's quite a bit stronger than C4 for those of you who want to make the comparison."  She turned and threw the globe far away from the group of students.  When it hit the ground, it exploded in a flash of fire and light.

She turned back to the students.  "I thought about giving a midterm today, but doing the first of our two classes on explosives sounded a lot more interesting to me."  Aly grinned.  "Hopefully it will be for you too.  Normally when you learn about explosives, you have quite a few lessons on theory, safety, and chemistry before you even get to think about touching actual material.  We, however, have the Danger Room so you'll be able to play experiment a bit today."

( Make things go boom! )

[OOC:  Please wait for the OCD is up.  All links go to wikipedia so the FBI shouldn't break down your doors.  More explanation in the OCD threads.  If for any reason, your character is upset by the whole 'blowing things up' plan have him or her talk to Aly to let her know or ping me OOC.]

Library [02/20]

[likethegun]

Sam had a larger cup of coffee than usual with him this morning as he went to open the library. It's possible that he was still exhausted from the weekend.

20th Century History, 6th Period

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

"Okay, guys; this is a cross between an open book test and a research lesson," said Daniel. "Mostly we won't have studied any of this and the questions are going to come from the entire period. But you have all lesson, you have books and you have the computers. And, if that doesn't work, you have me too."


( Cut for questions )

Young Entrepreneurs; Tuesday, 4;00

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

As promised, there was coffee to be had in the classroom for the Young Entrepreneurs this week; Turtle could be seen pouring lots and lots and lots of sugar and milk into hers. As much as possible to cover up the taste before she got ready to lead today's meeting.

"Today," she said, once the tiny group had congregated, "we're going to talk about Networking."

( Turtle shows why Fierce Capitalists rarely have many friends... )

"Oh! And, next week, I want us to start talking about our big project! I want us to try to go into business, selling something, through our own little YE company! So start thinking about what we could possibly do for that."


[[ wait for OCD. Up early because I'll be gone most of the evening, woe ]]

Advanced Tactics, Tuesday

[harringtongreen.livejournal.com]

As the students entered the Dangerroom today, they found a rather benign sight: two rows of tables, on which five computers had been set up, complete with headsets, media keyboards, mice, and other accessories. Professor Harrington stood at the front of the room. She sipped from a cup of hot chocolate while Nimitz watched the class from his usual perch on her shoulder.

"Please come in and have a seat at one of the terminals. As with our previous schedule, today is your lab. The computers before you have been set up to emulate the command centers of the various nuclear vessels you have toured. Networked together, they will allow you to interact with each other."

Placing aside her hot chocolate, Honor moved forward and folded her arms across her chest. "You will fight, row 1 against row 2, coordinating your attacks through either voice or chat communications." She paused. "You might think of it as a version of the old Battleship game."

She smiled. "Now, choose your vessels and may the best team win."

Alpha Beta Gremlin [6pm FHT]

Marie had ordered a wide variety of pizza and was sitting on one of the bar stools in the music room while she waited for everyone to file in.

"Hey, everyone," she greeted with a grin. "First, I want to thank Summer for stepping up and running the meeting last week while I was unexpectedly out of town. She filled me in on everything you guys talked about and I've asked her to be my co-organizer."

She jumped down from the stool and flipped over the white board in the front of the room.

Keep the park clean.
Knit for charity.
Food Drive.
Improve nature trails in the preserve.

"These are the ideas you guys came up with for service projects last week. Let's talk about them and try to pick one today that we'd like to focus on. But I want us to have fun, too. So let's talk about some social activities as well."



[ooc: wait for ocd up!. Also, snarkyprincess has agreed to co-lead ABG and she & I will be alternating posting the club meetings each week.]

Dueling Club, Tuesday, Danger Shop, 5:00 PM

[narglette.livejournal.com]

The Danger Shop was set up much the same as last week, minus the table and chairs. This week was all about setting to work on their skills.

Luna left a sign in sheet hanging by the door for everyone and figured they could cross themselves off as they came in.

Hermione Granger
Tannim Drake
Draco Malfoy
Chris Halliwell
Luna Lovegood

Once they were all assembled, she said, "as we are an odd number, perhaps we ought pair off and work on simple 'maneuvers'. The last with our advisor?"

Forensic Science Fifth Period - Wednesday 2/21

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

The danger shop was set up as normal, with Abby perched on a lab table watching as the students entered. "I will pay anyone cash money for video footage of my fellow teachers being all cute and tiny."

"I was really impressed with how everyone did last week. This week we're back to learning some forensic techniques." Abby turned on the overhead and started talking about testing items for drug residue. "We've done food toxicology before but a lot of people die from exposure to drugs that they didn't ingest. I've seen drugs that were smoked, drugs that were on fabric and drugs sprayed into the face. You'll have to check for everything."

"Let's get to the crime scene." Abby said, moving to open the door. "Our dead guy was found in a hotel room, surrounding by what looks to be the remains of a very fun night. The reporting parties were 3 women who are being held for questioning."

The door led to a very cheesy hotel room, complete with red furnishings, mirrors and a large circular bed where a dead Dick Casblancas lay, shirtless and covered up to his waist by red silk sheets. Abby rolled her eyes at how low Dick had pushed the sheet and pointed to her students. "Go find the bad guy!"

[Wait for OCD please OCD's up! Play!]

US History- Wednesday Period Three

[certaintrouble.livejournal.com]

Chuck stomped into class a few minutes after the bell had rung. He gave a quick glare at Willow and Jim. “Mentees, we may have to have to reschedule the mentoring meeting. It is regrettable that I was unable to make it this weekend.” The glare went up a bit in intensity. “I was not there.”

All the goodwill from last week? Yeah, it was gone. Someone was still a little cranky.

Chuck sat down at his desk. “Before we get into the lecture, Blair has a presentation for the class.” He sat and waited while Blair came to the front of the room and read his paper.

After Blair sat down, Chuck stood up, ( and began the lesson. )

[ooc: OCD, coming soon to a computer near you! OCD, the gripping thriller, is in theatres now!]

Hunting 101 - Class 7 (Wednesday, period 7)

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

When the students come in they saw a number of items laid out at the front of the room. Those who had some experience with such things would recognise a portable electrical crucible, as well as clamps and molds and what looks like some bars of silver. There were also several handouts for them to take laid out beside the sign in sheet.

"Today," John began where everyone was seated, "we're going to be moving away from ghosts and haunted objects into more solid supernatural things.( Specifically, today we're going to be looking at shapeshifters. )

[ooc: wait for the ocd's are up. :D]

Zen Computer Science - Tuesday, Period 4, Week 7

[fandom-sub.livejournal.com]

The Danger Shop was set up like a computer lab today, complete with a big screen at the front showing this guy.

"So your teacher quit, and while the people in charge are trying to figure out who to replace him with, they needed someone to take class. So you've got me! Um, you can call me Cereal Killer (as in Froot Loops) or Professor Cereal. Yeah! Professor Cereal.

Computers are zen-like for me. It's not just a piece of machinery. It's a way of life! That's not something you can fake. Like marshmallows. You can try all you want, but you just can't fake those.

Anyway, computers can be totally fun. They SHOULD be fun. So today we're going to have, you guessed it, fun! Nothing's more fun than killing virtual zombies, so I've loaded Zombie Horde III onto the school computers. Or you can try Bowman 2 for all your stick figure archery needs, an educational game about all 50 states and capitals or my personal favorite, Pong!

Oh, and I may not be there in person, but I totally made sure there were brownies at the front of the room." He peered down, trying to get a look at the front. "Indulge! Remember, as a computer user, you can be superhero-like even. Use your computer ninja skills for good, not evil. And, of course, HACK THE PLANET!"
