Construction Site [Tuesday]

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

Fraser could see the hole was filled when he arrived to the site Tuesday morning and he would never admit to taking a grateful sigh even though he did. He was never going down a hole again.

Well, not for a few days, at least.

He greeted the workers with a nod. "Welcome back. Please equip yourselves and get to work. We've still got a long ways to go."

Accelerated Scouting: Period Five, Week Two

[pieandcoffee.livejournal.com]

Dale is dressed in full scouting regalia and in a very chipper mood as he sits at the main campfire sipping his coffee.

Apparently tussling with Dinos agrees with him

Sick bastard.

"Good Afternoon campers! I hope you remembered to wear comfortable shoes because we're going on a hike today. And not just any hike..."

Dale gestured to a stack of backpacks and camping equipment.

"We're going fully loaded. Why? Well you never know what you might need on a hike. So pack up your back with items you believe you might need and then lets get a move on. And for next week's class I'll need you to bring a swimsuit and report to the school pool."

Then Dale pointed to a collection of canteens. "It's going to be a hot one today, so make sure to stay hydrated."

( But before we begin our hike... )

"That being said and done... Let's go hiking!"

[OCD is up]

How to Blow Things Up - Period 1, Week 2

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly was more subdued than she normally would be as she met the students in the Danger Shop.

"Okay, everyone," she said, glancing around at the class.  "This is going to be our first practical class here in the Danger Shop to help get you guys used to the feel of explosives before we work with them in a less controlled setting - or before you can actually blow yourself up instead of what you're aiming for."

"We're going to deal with improvised devices today, and two in particular, but first you do need to know a bit about the theory,"  Aly gave a concise but thorough lecture on explosive materials and the science behind them.  The impression she gave off was one of a child dutifully eating his meat so he could get to the pudding.  Practicalities were obviously more interesting to her.

"The two explosives we're going to work with today are two improvised explosives.  You don't always have access to military material and you definitely don't always need it.  One of the most common explosives in this word - and also one of the easiest to make is anfo - fertiliser and fuel oil.  It sounds simple, but it's an immensely powerful explosive. A ton or so in a the right place could blow up a cargo ship and the harbor it's sitting in - if you can get it into the cargo ship, of course.  The other is less an explosive than a weapon.  Molotov cocktails - half gasoline, and half motor oil - you've probably already heard of them if you're from this world.  They're easy to make and can do a lot of damage especially against gasoline engines or wood structures."

"What the plan is today is to spend some time discussing tactics with these weapons.  When would one of these particular types of explosive devices be useful?  Then make the anfo into a bomb, put together a Molotov cocktail, and blow some stuff up."

[OOC: Please wait for the OCD is up.  All links in this one go to Wiki so no worries about the Feds.  More explanation in the OCD threads.  As a side note, the idea of anfo blowing up a ship and the harbour it's in is from an AWESOME series of books that begins with Tomorrow, When the War Began by John Marsden.  Go read them.  Seriously.  *finishes pimping for the day*]

Sanitary Living [period 5, Tuesday]

[scrabblecyborg.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" Hannelore waved at everyone as they entered the Danger Shop.

Or at least, they could probably infer that the creature inside the HazMat suit was Hannelore, given that Winslow was standing by her feet.

"We're cleaning closets today! Closets are kind of important, because where else are you going to keep all the crap that people keep giving you? Like let's say your mom keeps sending you these business suits, and you hate them? Well, you should have a whole section of your closet devoted to them so that they don't get all...business-suity all over your other stuff. Now, me, I don't have a whole lot of stuff, so my closet is divided into just a few sections."

Hannelore proceeded to tell the class about the 37 sections and sub-sections of her very minimalist closet.

"So, what I want you to do," she continued, gesturing at the Shop, which was displaying four closets in various and totally moddable states of disarray, "is clean these up. As organized as possible. And you're working with a partner, because it can be a little scary your first time. At least, that's what Marten told me when I tried to get him and Faye to clean up their hall closet after Pintsize had the AnthroPCs over again. If you have any questions, you can call me. Oh! And you can all have HazMat suits and masks and helmets if you want them."
