Arts & Crafts 6, Tuesday Afternoon

[screwyoumarvel]

As usual, Steve was waiting for his workshoppers. Paper, pencils, and crayons were laid out on the tables, along with instruction sheets.

"Today," Steve began, "We're going to play around with something I'm very fond of: illustrations! I've provided some instructions to help get you started, but if you want to go beyond that, feel free. If you're one of those people who can barely draw stick figures, though, you might be better off sticking with the cartoonies. If you want any help or a second opinion, I'll be right here. Oh," he added after a moment, "as I'm sure most of you are already aware, next week is the last week of this workshop. You've been a great group, and we'll be having a special activity next week. Be sure to wear clothes you don't mind, er, ruining."

Potpourri - 6/19/07 - Main Campfire

"Heeeeeeeey students." said Buster after everyone had sat down. He was sitting on a picnic table, surrounded by a few cardboard boxes. He picked at his hook nervously.

"Okay, kids here's a life lesson for you: Life sucks. It sucks and then sucks some more. Horrible things are going to happen to you suddenly and there's nothing you can do about it." said Buster. He was going for the "tough love" approach today.

"Maybe you'll get stuck in a low-level office job for twenty years, maybe a crazy psychopath will try to kill you, maybe you'll have to stop a bomb from exploding." he said. "Maybe you'll get your hand bitten off by a seal because your brother is an idiot."

"The point is, something horrible is going to happen to you. The sooner you accept this the less surprised you will be when it happens." he said. "So today we're going to have an activity that vaguely mirrors the lecture but not really."

"So in these boxes are some items." he said. He began to rifle through the box. "Eyepatches, fake hands, fake hooks, bald caps...I want you to pick one and wear it for the rest of the day. You'll get to learn what it's like to be unfortunate and I'll get to laugh at you. We all win!"

[It's up!]

Library - 6/19

Isabel opened the library on time, her coffee in hand. She was still thinking about the message she'd gotten last night.

Construction Site [Tuesday]

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

Taking the weather into account, Fraser's actually in a light long sleeved shirt and blue jeans today. He's also got a hew hard hat today. It was on sale.

"Good morning," he greeted the students. "Please equip yourselves with your hardhats, goggles, and tool belts and get right to work. It's going to be very hot today so remember to hydrate frequently and take breaks as needed. Come find me should you need anything."

He smiled and then gestured towards the construction site.

How to Blow Things Up: Class 6 Period 2

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

As handwavily advised, the class met in the Danger Shop.  Aly was waiting for them there, tossing a clay ball from hand to hand.

"Morning everybody," she said with a grin as the class assembled.  "Today we're talking about magical explosives.  I have a few here and then a few of your classmates have agreed to demonstrate their abilities."

"First, however, I want to let you know that together with Deadpool's Mercenary class and Yondaime's Ninhaing class, we're going to go on a camp out over the weekend to play with what we've all learned and generally have a good time.  I'll have more information for you later today or tomorrow, but it's something I hope everyone will have fun with."

She held up the clay globe she'd been tossing around.  "This is blazebalm.  It's a magical explosive from my world.  Upon contact with air or water, it'll immediately explode.  Thus the clay protection.  It's a fairly strong explosive, not quite on the category of, say, C4, but stronger than your typical grenade."  Aly turned and tossed it into a wooden trunk.  About a second later, the box exploded in a fireball of trunk.  "You can also trigger the blazebalm with magic if you have the Gift.  We blew up a city's ports with it once."  She grinned.  "Good stuff."

Aly moved over to another shelf, this one filled with clay pots.  "Over here, we have a slightly different type of explosive.  This one's referred to as sorcerer's fire.  It's a bit similar to this world's napalm only made with magic and much, much more volatile.  These pots are spelling to keep it from igniting, but any bit that comes out of the pot - or spills - or leaks through a crack will automatically catch on fire and set anything it touches on fire as well.  Clothes, skin, stone, wood, anything.  Which, as you can imagine makes it a very dangerous if deadly weapon."

"And finally a few of your classmates have volunteered to show a few different ways they've learned to create explosions and - ah - chaos.  But I'm going to let them speak for themselves on that one.  You can all try these two out, continue to be careful with them.  We're in the Danger Shop, but these are still weapons.  After that, find a partner or two and see what you think about the magical explosives.  Better?  Worse?  Completely unfair?"

[OOC: My abject apologies for getting this up so late.  I was unexpectedly away for a bit of the morning and then my brain wouldn't cooperate.  'Sorcercer's fire' is 'wizardfire' from Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.  Please wait for the OCD is up.  Thank you SO MUCH to Zuko, Rikku, and Ronan for volunteering to demonstrate!  *squishes all three of you*]

Tuesday, June 19th - Third Period - Advanced Beginner's Guide to How Not to Be Seen (The Larch)

[sizzler-sisters.livejournal.com]

This week, the Jerryclass was in the Activities Area again. Aren't you all thrilled? We knew that you would be.

This week, the Jerries are wearing identical blue headbands over their wigs, and one Jerry is carrying a clipboard. The clipboard, incidentally, has four parking tickets from 1989 and last week's Classified Ads. The other Jerry is holding a rubber chicken covered in salsa.

"Places everyone!" cried one Jerry. "Places!"

"We cannot start the play!" cried the other Jerry. "Hildegaarde is not here!"

"It isn't a play!" hissed the first Jerry. "It is ballet!"

"But Jerry! We have no creamed corn!"

"No, Jerry. Creamed corn is only for musicals."

"Why, Jerry! That's even worse!"

( Under this cut, the Jerries do crazy things. As always. )

(OCD: WIP WTF. Finished. Come play, yes, Jerry.)
