Home Ec is Outrageous!; Monday, Period Five [ 07/19 ].

[byneptunesbeard.livejournal.com]

Today was a very exciting day in the outrageous world of home ec! Today was cooking! Plus, Aquaman was back to his usual, chipper self, thanks to not being hungover and having spent an oh-so-conveniently-timed weekend back home in Atlantis to attend his son's dolphin polo match.

This was also a class that made Aquaman glad that he was the one teaching it. Not that he wanted to sound skeptical of his students skills, especially since nothing was charred last semester, but he was glad this was all going to happen under the watchful eye of someone who could easily manipulate water to put out flames.

( Kitchen Kapers! )

With that, Aquaman took up his mighty spatula again. "So pair up and bon apetit, ravenous little renegate! Let's eat!"

...hopefully.

[[ OCD is on the way really cooking now! ]]

Adventure Games, Monday, Period 3

[eager-platypus.livejournal.com]

This week, Ziva had asked the students to meet her in the Danger Shop. As much as she would have loved for them to actually be outside, the temperature was too hot, even for Ziva, and today's task might have been more difficult if the students were passing out and sweating up a storm. So, she set up a much milder day in an area much like Fandom's park. The big difference? That would be the climbing wall.

"Good morning," she said. "Hopefully, none of you are afraid of heights, because today, we are going to test your climbing skills. Your goal is simple - climb to the top of the wall as quickly as you can. To keep from hurting yourselves if you slip and fall, you will all be wearing harnesses attached to me, so that I may spot you when you climb - and before you insist that you do not need such a thing, I am going to insist that you put it on anyway." Silly crazy-skilled students. Ziva showed them how to put on their harnesses, and then had them line up. "Who would like to go first?"

Private Investigations: The Essentials [Monday, Period Four]

[shagthis.livejournal.com]

"Now sometimes," Jake began, once everyone had assembled, "as strange as it may seem, folks aren't terribly forthcoming when ye wants to get information out of 'em and ye tells them you're investigating a murder or some insurance fraud or a kidnapping or what have ye."

"Which brings me to today's topic: lying. Now I know I know, some of yous are probably dead-set against or maybe uncomfortable with doing such things, but sometimes it's neccessary to avoid being punched in the face or other... undesirable outcomes. So we're gonna play that two truths and a lie game, and I wants you to try and guess each others' lies."

[ooc: did I forget it was Monday? Yes, yes I did. I had Grand Plans to get this up last night. Oops. hold for OCD up.]

Keeping Your Advantage: Terrain and You, Week II [Monday, Period 1]

[atreideslioness]

"Welcome back," Ghanima said as the students entered the Danger Shop. She was standing beside two large trunks, and the room was blank, not yet assigned an environment. "Today, we're going a bit farther north than many of you, myself included, are accustomed to."

She pressed a button on the remote, and suddenly the students would find themselves surrounded by snow. "Welcome to the Arctic!" Ghanima said cheerfully, apparently unbothered by the sudden drop in climate.

( There are strange things done in the midnight sun / by the men who moil for gold; / The Arctic trails have their secret tales / That would make your blood run cold )

"Now get to work," she said, opening the second chest to distribute tools to the class before taking a knife for herself. She wasn't going to ask the students to do something that she was unwilling to attempt herself. "Feel free to work solo or in groups. I programmed the room so that we've got one hour to dark, and you don't want to be caught out without a place to sleep."


[OOC: OCD IS UP! Sorry for the repeat class, RL bit me.]

The Day After Doomsday: Getting By In a Post-Apocalyptic World - Period 2

[raspberryturk]

Perhaps surprisingly, Reno had the students meet in the classroom, today. If anybody asked, this was totally because being in the classroom meant that he could be lazy and slouch back against his desk.

"Yo!" Reno grinned and lifted his chin at the students gathered with a manly nod. "We're gonna take it easy today, yo. After this weekend, I ain't gonna be the one to go an' try to hit too many buttons talkin' morbid about the end of the world."

( He'd save that for next week, or something. )

[Open!]

Library, Monday, July 19

[one-who-goes.livejournal.com]

Annette had left and, on his way back from seeing her off, Alba had vanished back to her own time too.

It was enough to make Henry feel lonely in a way he didn't know he could get, anymore.

So he was online at the library this morning, trying to track down the best train fares to Chicago. It was past time for him to go home for a while.

[OOC: Open library. OCD ran away.]

Advanced Sneakiness [Tuesday, July 20]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was not exactly fine with what had happened in the latter part of last week, which was why today's Danger Room looked like the interior of a refugee freighter. Padmé had been weighing heavily on his mind

"One of the most important aspects of infiltration is the ability to blend in and not be noticed," he said as he walked through the crowded space. "And one of the most obvious ways to do that is through the use of clothing." He swept his hands out. "We will start simply. This is a refugee freighter, an inexpensive and slow way to move around my galaxy. Here you would find beings from many species and systems, none of them particularly wealthy."

He pointed to one of the doors. "Behind that doorway you will find a very large supply of clothing, and a computer that links to a database full of the planets in my galaxy. You have fifteen minutes. Put together a costume and a cover story that would explain why you are traveling from Coruscant--the galaxy's capital--to Naboo--a planet famed for its beauty."
