Arts & Crafts 3, Tuesday Afternoon, Main Campfire

[screwyoumarvel]

This afternoon Steve was standing over a table of useless junk. At each of the tables for workshoppers were glue, glitter, paint, and pipe cleaners.

"Today we're going to work on improvisational art," Steve said. "I've...handwavily appropriated some items from a store in town." He'd tried to pay, but there didn't seem to be anyone to pay. "You are to incorporate at least one of them into your project. Make whatever you want. Go wild. Have fun."

After a moment of silence, he added as a sort of footnote, "The theme of your project should be, 'Why the Superhuman Registration Act is a bad idea and will never work.'"

"We have done it!" cried one Jerry.

"We have found it!" shouted the other.

They were inside the Activities Area, running around in cheerful circles and flailing their arms. So, just like always, but with happy instead of panic.

"We have discovered the key to decoding the secrets of the universe!"

"It is here! It is ours! We have brought it to you, Jerry!"

"The Rosetta Stone!"

"The Extended Metaphor!"

"The Four for Old Times' Sake!"

"The Seattle Times!"

"The Times New Roman!"

"The Times Old Roman!"

"Behold!" Both Jerries swept their arms dramatically, ( revealing ... )

Potpourri - Tuesday - May, 28, 2007

[motherboy-bluth.livejournal.com]

When the students came out to the main campfire on Tuesday morning they would notice that Buster wasn't anywhere to be found. Or so they thought. Only those with a keen eye would notice Buster hiding behind a tree. When everyone had arrived he crept up quietly to the class. Even then he might not be noticed. No, the students might not notice that their teacher was there until he coughed and said "Heeeey students."

The Library 5/29

Coffee in hand, Isabel opened the library on time.

Construction Site: Tuesday 5/29, All Day

[needsaparrot]

Today, the hardhat choices are yellow, pink, or that one. Yes, Xander took the Stetson home.

Tools and safety equipment are set up near the least-crispy classroom section, this time, and there's plaster mix ready for repairing the walls that don't have any structural damage. The heavy equipment is not too distant, NPC workers busy with the areas that got hit a lot harder.

Xander holds up a pair of safety goggles, then points to his eyepatch. "Do I really have to tell you guys that you're gonna want both of yours -- or all if you've got extra eyes I don't know about and probably don't want to -- for as long as you can hang onto 'em? No? Good. Wear your goggles. This has been a public service announcement from the National Committee For Duh."

How to Blow Things Up: Period 2, Week 3

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Today the class wasn't meeting in the Danger Shop.  Following the directions in the note handwavily delivered, the students would find themselves in a clearing with sandbag 'bunkers' at one end facing a large pile of stones and twisted metal that had landed after the school exploded.  On the other end, several rows of different types of grenades were laid out carefully.  Aly stood in the middle, trying not to be nervous over her students' first experience in class with live explosives.

Once everyone was assembled, she spoke up.  "Morning, everybody.  As I hope you've noticed by now, we're not in the Danger Shop.  Which means that the grenades over there are live.  Today's not the day to fool around, and if I see anyone doing so, they'll be lucky if they just get detention."

Confident she had everyone's attention, she nodded.  "This is going to be fun.  Those of you who haven't handled live rounds before, don't be nervous, you'll do fine."  She spent a bit of time going through the development and uses of different types of grenades before going on to the proper procedures for arming and throwing the weapons. 

"Grenades aren't always the best choice of explosive," she said, wrapping up.   "The delay between pulling the pin and the explosion means you can throw it, but the enemy could throw it back at you or it could bounce off a wall and roll back towards one of your allies.  So what I want you to do today before trying them for yourself is discuss with a partner or two the tactical advantages of grenades.  Why use them and not a Molotov cocktail that can't come back at you?  Or a gun which has a longer range?"

"After that, come over and try them out for yourself."

[OOC:  Whee, things go boom!  Aly's completely serious about the penalties for horsing around in this class.  If you want to get detention ping in the OOC thread, otherwise I'll give you a heads up if your character is skirting the line.  Please wait for the OCD is up!]

Ninja-ing - Wednesday Period 1 - Week 3

[konoha-flash.livejournal.com]

There was a note in their normal meeting place that they were all to meet in the park.

Once everyone gathered around, Yondaime walked down from one of the trees, yes walked down the side of it, and out onto the middle of the pond. No folks, he couldn’t turn water into wine.

With a quick flurry of his hands there was suddenly five of him, all standing on the water. “These are some of the basic ninja techniques where I come from. Some of which might help you retrieve the scrolls from my home, which I have to say there are still quite a few of,” he smirked and walked towards the shore of the pond.

“With enough practice, concentration and control, I think each of you could be able to do these things.” He said confidently and passed out several flyers describing how to control their chakra and energies to be able to perform the said skills.

“I want you all to work together in teams or pairs on how to do this. Try to work on making copies of yourself fist, and then move on to walking up the trees and on the water. Kabuto has a lot of practice with these, so if you have problems ask him, or I, and we’ll be glad to help.”

History in Action, Wednesday, 3rd Period

[hera-rises.livejournal.com]

As students filed into the Danger SHOP today, they were surrounded by...trees. Lots of trees. In fact, it appeared they might be in the middle of a forest. A lightly-trod path led them to a clearing where light filtered in through leaves shifting in a breeze. It was really a peaceful place. Which explained the bows, arrows, and swords leaned up against chests near where Professor Roslin stood on the far side of the clearing.

Interdisciplinary Studies or Whatever, Class 3, Wednesday, Period 5 (Galactica Point)

[whatever-sucks.livejournal.com]

Today, Squall was waiting for the students at Galactica Point, and had handwavily informed his students to meet him there wearing swim wear and carrying towels. That's right, today's lesson is on swimming. ...Of course, this is Squall, so your character might not have gotten the memo. Your choice.

( Swim this way we'll dance and we'll play now/It's very easy come on in just take a chance and shake a fin )

"Oh, and don't drown."

[ETA:
I forgot to mention: the thing you're getting from the buoy is a bright orange Fish Scale, about two inches across, tied to a length of fishing line. Squall won't explain it without being prompted, but it's a one-time-use item that will do water damage to one enemy if you throw it.]
