Competitive Teambuilding, Tuesday, period 1

[vdistinctive]

Parker was singing some song about bunnies, bunnies, IT MUST BE BUNNIES under her breath. Eliot was giving her some very distinctive 'what the hell are you singing?' looks. And Hardison was just shaking his head while he played with the Danger Shop controls.

This class revolved around thieving and bunnies. Anyone wanna guess who had come up with it?

“Teamwork! Goals!” Parker held up a rabbit that was as fluffy and adorable as any meme on the internet. “BUNNIES.”

"You're saving them," Eliot explained. "From an evil magician."

An almost painfully smarmy magician in a top hat, playing with a deck of cards, snickered to himself in the corner. The look on Eliot's face when he spotted him was an almost indescribable mix of incredulity and hilarity, and he finally had to turn around and bury his face in his hands for a moment.

Hardison was having a difficult time keeping a straight face as well; okay, he wasn't managing it at all, but at least he was able to speak. Your teachers made their own fun, kids. "Of course, things ain't as easy as just sneakin' in an' sneakin' out."

"For one thing," Eliot said, having nearly regained his composure. "There're the guards." A few bog-standard security guards appeared, armed with nightsticks and walkie-talkies.

“And the maze of backstage flats and catwalks and wings to get through,” Parker said, pointing to various bits of scenery moving in what seemed to be a randomized pattern. The bunny wiggled its nose adorably at the onlookers.

"Let's not forget that the bunny is bein' held in an office, behind a locked door," Hardison added, pointing to a blue door in the distance beyond the maze of scenery. "The guards will be patrolin' the entire backstage, which means you'll have to find some way to keep the guards from spottin' you while you navigate the area an' as you find some way of breakin' into the office."

"You've got five minutes to plan. Then it's time to get to work."

“Whiskers and Floppers and Cottontail are depending on you guys.” Parker put the bunny into a hat, and made it vanish. “Go get ‘em!”

The magician snickered again and Eliot snorted, then tried to turn it into a cough. Unsuccessfully. "Man," he muttered to Hardison. "Tell me you're recordin' that."

"Like I'd pass this opportunity up for the world, yo."

Magical Bestiary | Tuesday, period 2

[nuclear_snide]

When Bob showed up in class this week he was somewhat disgruntled.

Not that anybody could probably tell the difference.

"Right. Well, we're now a week behind, thanks to Harry's utter inability to speak to the fair folk without saying precisely the wrong thing." He sighed. "So, rather than speak of any one magical creature this week, we're going to talk about ways to handle all of them."

He wrote in the air: 1. THINK( Read more... )

Sex Ed, Tuesday, 3rd Period

[so_hawkward]

"So, if the radio is to be believed, some of you have already been talking about a result of pregnancy with your babies from Ethics class," Clint said, giving anyone with one of said babies a sympathetic look. "We talked a little bit about how to prevent pregnancy already by protecting yourself, but sometimes sh--tuff happens and you have to decide what to do. If you decide that you want to go through with your pregnancy--and really, I'm just talking to the girls here since that's ultimately your decision, and any guy who wants to make that decision for you deserves to be thrown from your life at top speed--if you decide you want to go through with staying pregnant, well, there are some things you should know."

At this point, Clint passed out a handout and went through the various effects and symptoms of pregnancy on a month by month basis. If any of the guys were weirded out, Clint figured they'd be all the more likely to use protection when they did the deed, and that was half of his job here as far as he was concerned. "In the end, you'll end up with a baby who I can almost guarantee will cry less than anything designed by someone whose last name is Skywalker, but that doesn't mean the nine months will be pleasant. So, our discussion for today: ladies, if you could pass one aspect of being pregnant on to guys instead, what would you get rid of? Guys, what would you be willing to take on to make things more fair?"

[Much thanks to evilpinkthing for the foundation of this idea. :D]

Deception for Fun and Profit, Monday, Period 2

[doubleohblonde]

Today Bond had set up a projector screen at the front of class, because it was time for a movie day.

"Good morning," he greeted the class. "Now last week we looked at passing as a member of a social group not your own, mostly through clothing choices, but while looking the part is the most immediately obvious part of that, how you act and speak, as well as any of number of social cues, also factor into the impression people get of you. For example, those of you who'll have visitors this weekend and who want those visitors to leave thinking certain things about the school, will have an idea of which of their teachers it would be prudent to either have their guests visit or conversely to pretend don't exist.

"Now, we could do an exercise similar to last week's, but it's rather easier to instead watch a film on the subject instead."

Speech, Tuesday, September 29, 2015

"Right, so your parents or guardians or weird friends are coming to visit this weekend," Josh said, "so today we're going to have a little field trip around town and you are going to BS your way through an island tour."

He smiled evilly.

"This'll be fun!"

Well, maybe?
