Heroing [Wednesday, Period 2, Class #9]

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"Good day, friends! Once again, I am She-Ra, your substitute teacher," She-Ra greeted the class in her full uniform - from golden hairband to white mini to gold stiletto boots. "While some of you may have noticed the many Harpys that appeared on the island, I promise you are all quite safe here in the school. Should you go out of doors, however, be aware of the danger and move quickly to avoid the dastardly creatures." With that public service announcement out of the way, She-Ra could get to the real class topic. And after class, she could go and send Hunga's troops back to Etheria where they belonged. Ahem.

Flight Club [Flight Shed]

There were...things in the sky. Bird like things with talons and shrieks that made him wish for ear plugs. They weren't attacking but Gavin was keeping a wary eye on them. There were snacks and drinks and Gavin was trying to keep them covered and out of harm's way

"So, guys, looks like the island's got some visitors," Gavin said, covering his ears as a few shrieked loudly. "And they appear to be pretty pissed unless that's a really bad way of showing us they come in peace. Amazingly, today's meeting is pretty topical. Today, you've got your ship of choice but you're going to be facing a massive onslaught of enemies a la Space Invaders. They're going to keep coming at you and it's going to be your job to avoid getting shot down and losing too much fuel. If it helps, just picture the enemy, which are just going to be drone ships, as these...things that keep shrieking."

Gavin opened the sim door and said, "Get to it!"

Library [03/11]

After yesterday, Sam was seriously hoping for a quiet day in the library. Thanks to the radio, he was expecting the crabs, but the palm trees were a very pleasant surprise, and it took a lot less time than usual for Sam to feel settled in behind the desk.

Anthropomorphic anatomy, Period 3, 11 Mar '09

Mohinder was a little more than usually disheveled when he made it to the school. He'd dropped the box he was carrying at his feet, and had made a decent attempt at soundproofing the Danger Shop by the time class had assembled.

"The human body is not invulnerable," Mohinder started, passing round the handouts. "We break, we bleed, we fall apart and - if the damage isn't too much - we heal. Sometimes with mechanical assistance, broken bones pinned apart. Or simply through the unaided process of inflammation, cell proliferation and remodelling," he went on.

"Regeneration is largely limited in humans; the liver, some limited kidney function, and some occasional cases of fingertip regrowth. Some amphibians have the ability to regrow entire limbs." Mohinder paused. "But, save for that happening, you need to take care of the limbs you have left." He ducked down briefly, retrieve a length of bandage from the cardboard box. "You should find everything you need here. So - pick a partner, and practice."
