Summer Fitness and Survival, Monday, Period Four

[doubleohblonde]

Bond had handwavily informed the class to meet him at the Danger Shop, which was set up to resemble the edge of the lake, a short way from the Viking village, and to dress appropriately.

"Good afternoon, class. Since I'm seeing mostly new faces, I'm Professor Bond." His smile bore absolutely no resemblance to that of a shark which had just figured out where all the tuna were. None at all. "Now this class is Summer Fitness and Survival, but given our current surroundings we'll put less of an emphasis on the Summer part until we're somewhere warmer.

"Since this is the first week, we'll be doing introductions, in this case name, class, and something you might like to learn or focus on over the next seven weeks, while also practising a valuable survival skill, in this case fishing. Since it's unlikely you'll just randomly have a rod handy at any time you need to fish, we'll be using these." He bent down to pick up something that was most definitely not a fishing rod. The class could probably guess they weren't in the Danger Shop for this class instead of actually at the lake just because Bond was in a generous mood. He went on to explain some basic spear fishing techniques.

"Now, if you'll all take a moment to change before heading into the water," Bond said, nodding towards a collection of extremely fashionable waders in various sizes. "Then we'll begin."

Try Not to Die!! [Tuesday, May 10, 3rd period]

[sith_happened]

Today, Anakin was a little bit grateful for the cloak he habitually wore as he waited for his class to arrive outside on the border between Fandom and the Viking village. It was a little chilly for a guy who grew up in the desert.

"The island has given us too great an opportunity to ignore today in this course," Anakin told them as his robe flapped occasionally in the breeze in front of a sturdy little clue box. "You will have to complete two tasks today that will hopefully teach you a little bit more about the Vikings and their traditions. Try not to die!"

With that he stepped out of the way of the clue box.

Attitude: Just Deal With It - Tuesday, Period 2

[raspberryturk]

"Yo, losers!"

Nope. Not 'Rookies,' today. Reno had a syllabus, and that was the sort of thing that happened when he tried to stay topical while following it.

One of the many reasons why Reno should never have a syllabus, kids.

"I'm Reno, an' this is your Attitude workshop for the first half of the summer, yo. I can tell you're all thrilled." Smile for the crazy ginger at the front of the room, kids. Show him how pleased you are to be here. "So, if you're one of them kids that actually signed up for this course, congrats. You get to learn how to stop bein' a loser before the term is through. Maybe you'll even be good at it, yo! If you ain't one of them kids an' you got no clue what you're doin' here, good job, you or the office managed to screw up your paperwork, an' now you're stuck with me!"

It was kind of eerie, the way he sounded so cheerful through all of that.

"Now, since it's the first workshop an' all, we're gonna take it easy, yo. Introductions, but with a twist. Today, I wanna hear your name, what you're doin' in this first class, and the worst insult that you can remember anybody ever throwin' at you. And then I want you to throw somethin' at me. Do your friggin' worst, kids, and toss in a rude gesture while you're at it, yo."

Yep. Reno was telling you to tell him off. And maybe to flip him off at the same time.

"Try an' keep your pants up, yo."

Your African Expedition Adventure!, Tuesday, Period Four [ 05/10 ].

[bootlessjane.livejournal.com]

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentleman!" Jane might have been all too pleased with the female-leaning tendency of this semester's roster, mixed in delicately with her already exuberant thrill of the subject in general. "And welcome to Your African Expedition Adventure! My name is Miss Porter, and I have been into the jungles of Africa many times in my life, for which I am extremely grateful. I'm a Primatologist, or rather one that studies apes and monkeys and gorillas and human beings, and so of course the best way to learn about that sort of thing is to try to witness it for yourself. I certainly hope you're excited to learn all about how to travel into the jungles of Africa, appreciate the beautiful world that it presents, and learn so much about the flora and fauna of that marvelous part of the world!

( And the woman just keeps talking.... )

"Also, every class after this will from now on be meeting in the Danger Shop. If you are not sure where that may be, by all means, come and talk to me and I will ensure you have good directions! Does everyone have their boots, canteens, and hats? Who wants to start? The sooner we get through these introductions, the sooner we can get out to the Preserve!"

Library, Tuesday

[angelo_wings]

Rinoa was thoughtful today, but she did her best to look busy. There was a new librarian, one she hadn't met yet, and she didn't want him-or-her to have a bad first impression of her.

And if she ran out of reshelving and busywork, then she'd get back to her current book. One of the benefits of working in the library: sitting behind the counter and reading on-the-job seemed legitimate.

(OCD-free because LJ is cranky.)
