Weaponry in Film; Friday, First Period [07/17].

[special_rabbit]

"Hey, everyone," Amaya gave a slightly apologetic grin with her nod of greeting when it was time to get class going, "and welcome to Weaponry in Film. Sorry about last week, but I figured that was just a perfect storm of a way to make this class miserable and uncomfortable, and that's hardly the first impression I'd want to leave for our first class. We'll get right into it to make up for it, though. Now, this class is going to be part film study, part weapons craft, as we look into some truly unique explorations of weaponry within the art of movies and television. Now, any of you who know me already knows I have a strong passion for weapons, and, over my time here on this island, I've developed a similar passion for movies. And this class is just a good excuse to merge the two together, but hopefully you'll learn some stuff along the way, as well.

"Now go ahead and have a seat," she gestured toward the nice comfortable chairs and pillows and cushions set off on one side of the shop classroom and turned toward the TV, "grabs some popcorn, and get comfortable, while we watch some clips to highlight the weapon in today's featured film. Fair warning, this one is a classic of what's considered the horror genre, so the themese and the use of the weapon can get a little gory. But, honestly, things have been so wholesome and chipper this week that maybe we could all use a little bit of something different. But the weapon used by the villain of these movies is an interesting and unique one that I think will make for a great introductory into this class, as we'll watch a little bit and then try to recreate it. So, settle in, enjoy the clips, and then we'll open the field up for questions before getting to work!"

With that, she dimmed the lights for the time being and pressed play.

Crafts & Art, Friday, July 17, 2020

Class today had a very large amount of crayons and a decent amount of painting canvases stacked up next to what appeared to be a tree stump with tools on it. Because one of your teachers (Steve) had been kind enough to bring a work bench for everyone to use in order to craft things!

Because this was how you crafted things this week.

"So, instead of showing you how to make melted crayon art, we just have a recipe for you," Tony said, holding up what looked like a playing card with a leaf decal on the back of it for each student.

Well, Steve had had a lot of aggression to get out this week, so chopping trees had been cathartic. "Be careful with the heat gun, it gets hot."

"So, give it a shot and you can maybe sell it rather than bugs or shells from the beach," Tony suggested. Maybe it was the hot item from Timmy and Tommy!

Continue Trying Not to Die, July 17, 2020

So Anakin had out of his house today that had mysteriously doubled in size and had about thirty new bookshelves that Rory, apparently, had been making all week. Anakin had decided to Just Not Ask.

"Right, I'm assuming that I'm not the only looking forward to not being on an island right now," he said dryly. "Unfortunately, Portalocity has insisted that is was an Only Island Travel Week, which I am very sure they just made up. Regardless, we're going to Sri Lanka. Try not to die."
