Leadership, Friday, 3rd Period
Friday, January 20th, 2012 12:27 amScott sent out an e-mail letting his students know that they were going to be meeting in the Danger Shop this week. And as probably half the class knew, when you put Scott Summers in charge of a group in a room whose name began with 'Danger,' things were going to get pretty interactive.
This was probably a different kind of interactive than those people were thinking, though. You could probably tell that by the fact that Scott was holding a balloon in the middle of a park on a sunny day.
"A crucial part of leadership is understanding how to actually work in a team," Scott said, kicking things off. "So today, we're going to be doing a small team-building exercise."
"I've put you into four teams of four. You're going to be building balloon towers. The goal is to build the tallest tower you can before the end of the period using nothing but the provided balloons, rolls of masking tape, and your wits. And if anyone here has powers, those are forbidden for this exercise," Scott said. "So no flying up to dangle a string of balloons from the top of the room, no telekinesis to stabilize the tower. If you do that, I'll use one of my powers."
Scott pulled out a remote and pointed it at the balloon he was holding. It popped. No, he wasn't going to use optic blasts for that.
"Good luck."
Was that a suspicious smirk as he said that? Nah, couldn't be.
