Debate, Wednesday, November 2, 2016

[imafuturist]

There weren't teachers in the classroom today, but there was a hastily written note on the board of:

Something came up, so you kids get a movie day. Try not to get used to it.

And there was indeed a completely ridiculous movie queued up to play for them.

It was one of those weeks where things just conspired against both teachers, okay?

"Yes, And:" Improv Theatre and You, Wednesday, Period One

[furnaceface]

//Alright,// Jono said, once again starting class by sitting on the edge of the Danger Shop stage, //this week, we're going to be playing a game called Little Voice. It's another one of those fairly straightforward things... one of you is interacting with your surroundings, and then something within those surroundings begins to speak to you. That something is, of course, the person you've paired off with, speaking at you from offstage. It should be made clear by one of you what the object is that's doing the talking, be it a toothbrush or a duck with a machete, and the content of that conversation is up to you.//

He pulled himself to his feet.

//For example, I walk into the scene and start to act out getting ready for my day. Shave my face, comb my hair, reach for my toothbrush and... whoever is playing the toothbrush leads in with a line like, 'I'm very disappointed in you, Carl. You and I both know the bubblegum-flavoured toothpaste is for children. And do you ever floss?' And while it would be a valid reaction to shriek and run offstage because my toothbrush is talking to me, I'm going to carry on a conversation with my toothbrush, anyway.//

Apparently as a guy named Carl. Who had things like teeth. Lucky Carl.

//So, pair up, pick a setting between you, and choose who gets to be onstage and who gets to be a tiny voice, and then get going.//

What NOT To Do In A Fight / Wednesday, Period III / Week 9

[atreideslioness]

"Not all fighting is done with external weapons," Ghanima said, once everyone showed up to the Danger Shop. It was once again set-up for movie day. Lucky students. "In many universes, and especially here in Fandom, many people have powers beyond that of the average human. And sometimes, you have to use those powers to fight."

Fandom did like its invasions, after all.

"You should never, however, only relay on your powers -- if you have them -- to get you out of a situation. Or sometimes, they can fail you completely. Today, we're going to watch Y-Men: Catastrophe."

"Grab some popcorn, and feel free to throw it at the screen any time someone does something that we've covered as being a Bad Idea."
