Cupcake War Crimes, Take 2, Thursday [8/4]

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

The Home Ec room was, thankfully, free of any and all creepy alien rocks. The teachers were still aliens but whether or not they were creepy was probably debatable.

Anders wasn't creepy! He'd argue as much, at least. He did, however, look a lot more serious than normal today. (Not to say cupcakes weren't serious business, but . . .)

"I hope to gods you guys are staying safe out there," he began, looking around the classroom to take stock of who was there and who wasn't, and wondering how in the hells he'd turned into a responsible guy. (Also: note how he wasn't admonishing them to stay inside and out of the thick of things.) "Seems like a good day to have a pretty stress-free sort of bake-what-you-want session. Long as it fits in a cupcake tray, I'm not gonna judge today."

Stark (who would readily admit to the occasional bout of creepiness) would probably still judge pretty harshly if you did something foolish like putting fish in your cupcakes, but he'd do it silently. No reason to add to the stress, but fish were really kind of unforgivable. Unless you were somehow not in your right mind. "So, go ahead and make something. Anything."

"Unless you have somewhere else you need to be," Anders added with a knowing look. "We've been there, we get it. Just take it easy, okay, guys?"

"Try not to get hurt," Stark said softly. He was planning on heading over to the clinic at some point to see if he could be of any help, but he'd rather not have to see any of you there. He'd rather not see anyone there, but he knew better than to hope for that.

Teambuilding for Dummies [Thursday, 4th Period]

[thefearwasreal]

Oz sat at the front of the class with a scaly grey rash that covered half his face and a bucket of what was probably...hopefully, fried chicken.

"Film today," he called out between bites when the class arrived. "I want you to see the importance of coming together to be a true team. You'll see that when a team isn't really a team, but just a group of people with no real connection, it can be torn apart and destroyed by outside forces. Then you get dead and those of us left will feast on your tasty flesh. Hopefully in that order."

"Also there's juice if you're thirsty."

Talking Is A Free Action, Thursday

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

There was no teacher in class today, possibly because said teacher was a little grey. And not in the lookup 'Mutant Shaman Nate Grey' sort of way. Though that would be fun until the whole Oedipus complex thing happened.

Freaky.

Instead, there was something written on the board:

Why are you here? There are freaky things attacking, so get you dumb asses home. And try not to get eaten. I'd probably get in trouble or something if you did.

If you want to be a nerd, do some research on your own. A for effort, though.

Below that was a doodle of the Deadpool symbol. Because everyone needed that in their life.

Fandom High Auditorium, Thursday Afternoon

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

As whatever was happening on the island became less and less likely to be cleared up with a good old fashioned fight, it seemed it was time to figure out just what to do next. So, a radio announcement let people know to meet up at the school to pool their resources and go over what they knew so far.

Even if some of the people who were supposed to be in charge weren’t looking quite so well anymore...

Gray wasn’t the most charming color when it came to human skin tone.

Defying Death, Friday, First Period

[exboywonder.livejournal.com]

If any students arrived at the Danger Shop today, they would find a note on the door and a box on the ground. The note said "GO BACK TO THE DORMS. TAKE SOMETHING FROM THE BOX TO HELP YOU GET THERE. THAT'S ENOUGH DEFYING DEATH THIS WEEK. -DG"

The box had expandable steel batons with rubber grips. That way students could hit something a few feet away if they needed to get away.

True Heroism! The Olympian Way! Session 5, Period 3

[olympian-herc.livejournal.com]

Hercules sent out an e-mail to the class, and even posted a copy of the e-mail to the classroom door.

Dear Class,

Given the spooky events and terribly happenings, class this week is to be a true hero in a practical manner! Remember, heroes come in many flavors. Perhaps your flavor is protecting people as they fetch needed supplies, or aiding those who are hurt at the clinic. Or even perhaps soothing the souls of others by putting on a happy puppet show to distract them from the awful events.

P.S. Do not take this as an endorsement to charge off into the woods alone. I think if I said that I would lose my job.

P.P.S I might be doing that myself. Do as I write, not as I do.

-Hercules.
