Pie for Beginners - Monday 2nd period - Week 2

[konoha-flash.livejournal.com]

The class met the same place it did last time and each table this time had all the ingredients and supplies for making their own crust, as well as a mysterious box marked; "Open only in case of emergency".

"Good morning everyone! We're continuing to work with pie crusts because they are the most important, and most difficult element of the pie. It's a pretty basic part of pie, and adding small ingredients like more salt for a savory pie, or more sugar for a sweet, can make all the difference. There are different kinds of crusts as well other than the one that was demonstrated in the film, such as a graham cracker or saltine cracker crust. Last week, the film focused on the basics of crust making for the traditional kind of crust and at your stations there are the supplies to make it, as well as instructions from the show. If you mess up on your crust don't worry. There are boxes at each of your stations that will help if you do. Try not to use the words 'tender'." A puppet suddenly appeared and smacked him in the head. "....or 'flakey'," Arashi winced as one appeared on the otherside, then both promptly disappeared. "The Danger Shop seemed to think last weeks video was rather hilarious. Work with a partner, follow the instructions hand waving the part about refrigerating the dough, have fun, try not to burn the place down or get punched out by the puppets."

Maybe he should have included instructions on the ovens....? Nah.

[Plz wait for ocd ETA: The "Emergency Box" contains a pre-made pie crust if you mess up.]

Construction Site: Monday, 7-16, all day

[needsaparrot]

There's a hole, which has been partially filled in by the larger construction equipment but there's clearly some human-sized-work left to do. There's also a Xander standing next to said hole, scratching his head before putting his hardhat back on.

"So apparently there were dinosaurs?" he says, consulting the clipboard full of notes he found at the site this morning. "And apparently the soundproofing on my apartment is really good; I should put that in the classified ads for the vacancies. Anyway, we've got a sinkhole to fill in; grab a shovel and don't kick any rocks. Trust me on this one." He'd poured the last layer of quick-dry cement himself, but it never hurt to be careful.

Potpourri - Monday 7/16

[motherboy-bluth.livejournal.com]

When the students arrived at the main campfire on Tuesday they would see there were a stack of plain looking tribal drums on a table. On Buster's table there was a basket full of glitter, glue, feathers and other moddable decorating stuff. When everyone was seated Buster clapped his hands (he was wearing his fake hand today) together and began to speak.

[Creatures of Nature - 5th Period, 7/16]

[whathasbeenlost.livejournal.com]

D met with the students in a classroom this time, directing them to tables around the room. At the head of the class, he had a great many cages, each with an animal of some type inside, all of them different.

"Good afternoon, class, and welcome to the second session of Creatures of Nature," he began. "Today's lesson will be an ongoing one, and though the workshop is meant to focus on the animals in nature - meaning those that are not domesticated and that you may not generally come into contact with - I would like to have you each take care of something in order to impress upon you how animals are to be respected and cared for in a more intimate way."

He paused, looking thoughtful. "...Hopefully not too intimate."

Clearing his throat, D began to pass out slips of paper to each student. "You are now assigned these animals until the end of this workshop. You will take them back to your room, care for them, and at the end, you will bring them back to me and we will see how you have done with them. Have fun! And if there are problems, I urge you to come to me."

[OOC: I'm braindead for class-writing, so turtle_toughguy suggested this. Yes, your character gets a pet even if you have one already. You can try to argue though, if you feel you have to.

You may assume that your pet comes with the basics - food and water (that your character will have to replenish), shelter, and a cage/enclosure of modest size. Wait for OCD is done! omg i am going to bed for a couple hours now, bye. Mod your pets, if'n you please.]

From the library to the construction site - Sunday Evening

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

They knew why the dinosaurs were here. They had a book with an illustration for how things needed to be set up to send the dinosaurs away. They even had an unconventional adventuring party to get the job done. Now all they needed to do was get past the dinosaurs, get down the hole and finish this.

[Locked to the finale team.]

Library [07/16]

[likethegun]

Sam was as exhausted as a dinosaur invasion could make a person, so he had a very large cup of coffee with him when he went to open the library.

An Introduction to Mad Science

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

Once again, the danger room had been set up to look like a creepy lab. This time, tables and chairs had been moved into neat rows, facing a blackboard and a table at the front of the room. A pot of coffee simmered over a heater next to a small stack of styrofoam cups. A weird looking gun-type thing that seemed to be made out of kitchen appliances sat on the table at the front. Once the students had all taken their seats, Professor Tomoe spun to face the class, the usual dramatic lighting shadows in place.

"Good afternoon students!" he said cheerfully. "Today, I'm going to fill you in on the sort of experiments I specialize in, and what type of things we'll do this semester."

Redemption: What A Crock [Period 6, Monday]

[sideburnsofwar.livejournal.com]

After the class had assembled in the danger shop, Ares pointed to two lists of names. "I have, purely randomly of course, assigned you to two groups, the Wannabe Heroes, in search of redemption, and the Annoying Sidekicks, who will supposedly aid the Heroes on their quest."

"Now, today, you will choose your sidekick. Or more accurately, your sidekick will choose you, because they're annoying that way. Heroes, your job will be to try to dissuade your sidekick from following you around on your lonely quest for redemption, however actual physical force that would result in damage to your sidekick, while amusing to me, is not generally considered a good tactic. Sidekicks, you stick to your heroes like glue. Let nothing, not even physical force, stop you."

"Well, let's get started."

Dealing With Stupid People [Tuesday, July 17, 2nd period]

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

When the students arrived in the Danger Shop, they found the room decorated as an incredibly soulless phone center.

"Welcome to the help desk!" Josh said, grinning proudly. "People are very stupid over the phone, especially when they know you can't see the expression on their faces. This is also why video conferences aren't as popular as regular conference calls--hiding your eyerolling is easier when, well, they can't see your eyes."

He waved his hands out. "Today you will be manning a help desk. I have handwavily put out posters to let people know that it's open during this class time, so the phones should start ringing any minute now. Your job is to answer the person's question in the most polite way possible without letting them know you think they are completely out of their minds."

"Coffee, muffins and bagels are available, answering their questions correctly is completely optional." Josh smirked. "Have fun."

[OOC: Phone lines are open for townies, students, and faculty members to call in. Josh has conveniently forgotten to specify what kind of help the students would offer. Ask for relationship advice, song requests, technical support, people to vote for or against bills in Congress, just to say hi...go nuts.]
