Library [7.22]

Making tea, Anemone discovered, was rather difficult when you couldn't convince the sink to give you regular, normal, water.  The faucet had obligingly tried switching between rum, ale, and ginger ale before she finally gave up and went with the soda for breakfast. 

Perhaps letting her open the library hopped up on sugar wasn't the best plan, but she did it anyway. 

The Fandom Library was open.  Beware the hyperactive pink-girl.

The class was meeting yet again in the Danger Shop. This week they were faced with a sloping wall with levels and ladders and various moving fires in different places. At the top was a bored looking giant gorilla and next to him was a cage that looked like it was empty? It was difficult to tell from where they were.

Arashi smiled at everyone as they filed in, nodding. “Good morning everyone! So this week might be more or less of a challenge than last week, just in different ways. Our friend up there,” he said motioning to the gorilla who waved back with a yawn. “Has something precious of yours, wither it’s a person or a thing- who knows the Danger Shop decides, and it’s your job to get it back but just getting up to the same level of the cage without getting ‘killed’. It’s not going to be a matter of just climbing ladders, the gorilla will be throwing barrels down the slope as you go, unless you can talk him out of it.”

“Other than that there aren’t any tricks to it! At the end of the class there will be cake! Or pie, which ever you prefer.”

When the students entered they found the place set up as a rather large garage with a work area set up for each of them complete with equipment and car.

"Good morning," John greeted them. "Today we're going to cover one of the basics of car maintainance -- namely changing the oil. I'm going to walk you through the steps and then it'll be your turn to try." He demonstrated on the car that looked a lot like a certain 67 chevy impala.

"And that's how it's done," he said when he finished, wiping his hands off on a cloth. "Now it's your turn to try."

"Today, we're going to be a little more practical than we've been so far." Kerrigan had her arms crossed; she was still wearing her coat, although she seemed to have given up her constant battle with the boney spines that made up her hair. "The name of this class is 'The Right Tools', and unlike what you all might think, that doesn't necessarily mean anything that can stab, rend and maim. Passive means can make as much of a difference in the right situation as a knife or a rifle."

She might've shot a look at a few students on the word rifle. "Sometimes, you're going to need the ability to hide. I'm not talking in the sense of what some of you might've learned from Professor Aly; we're talking strictly short-time offensive stealth maneuvering. The essentials are simple: keep cover, make sure nobody's looking your way, distract them if they might run a danger of doing so, and keep an eye out for non-human detection tech. If you're dealing with a camera system, figure out the angle of those cameras. No security system has yet been invented that covers every corner. There's always a blind spot, just like with people."

With a touch of a button, the Danger Shop shifted into a maze of corridors and hallways. "But that's just what you keep in the back of your head. Nothing's going to teach you more than the reality of it. Which means that today, we're going to be playing Hide and Seek." A pause. "In a fashion. This," she tapped a red square on the wall, "is your free point. You hit this, you win. However, if the seeker finds, tags and bags you? You're out. Pairs of two, please. Trade places when one of you wins, then tell me what you learned at the end of the class.

"Now, what are you waiting for? That'll be all."

When everyone filed into the Danger Shop today, they'd find that it looked like a small casino.

"Hello, children!" Robin said, unusually gleeful. "Today, we're playing some games. Now, I'm sure some of you have actually played these games before -- that's not in question. The question is whether you're any good at them. Because hey, guess what? Gambling isn't about luck, or the odds, or anything like that -- I mean, to a degree, it is, but what it's about, more than anything? Is knowing how the game works and being able to think on your feet."

She passed out a few handouts. "These'll explain that scary math involved with any game of chance like this, so look them over. You're all going to be playing against the house, not each other, though I do encourage you guys to play outside of class and try to clean each other out. Don't tell anyone I said that. And on that note, fake casino, fake NPC dealers, and that means -- yes, you guessed it: fake money. For today, I want you guys to take a look at craps, blackjack, and Caribbean stud, which is just like five card stud but you play against the dealer. If you want to play something else, by all means, but if I catch any of you guys by the slot machines, I'm branding you losers. That's Grandma's game."


[sorry on the semi-lame class, guys! My power went out and I only just got it back, eep.]
