Creative Weaponry; Monday, Second Period [08/31].

[special_rabbit]

Instructions should have gone out oh so handwavily to the students to be meeting for their class in the danger shop, which she couldn't imagine would surprise anyone, and, when they got there, they'd find themselves on a long, dusty road winding through a somewhat trecherous looking passage with steep, rocky mountain walls on each side. Before the passage really narrows in, there were four small merchant wagons waiting, each pulled by smoll fat goats.

And Amaya at the opening of that passage, ready to go with her usual eager grin.

"Good morning, everyone," she greeted them brightly with a pump of her fist, "and welcome to your first day of Creative Weaponry. I know it's the start of the week, so you're probably not sick of introductions quite yet, but I noticed an awful lot of familiar names on my roster for this class, and I don't think any of you will be too terribly disappointed if we skipped it for this class and got right to the meat of it. We'll get to know each other pretty well through the course of the class, anyway. The concept is pretty simple, but the situations will not be. Each week, you'll be thrown into a situation where you'll need to get yourself a weapon and fast, but without any of the traditional thing you might think are weapons on hand. You will have other things, though, and the idea is to then make a weapon out of those things, and fight your way out of the mess! They may work; they may not! It's all about thinking quick on your feet, though, and see what works and what doesn't!

"If you have any questions, you'll get a chance to answer them before we get started, but first, I'd like you all to find a partner and pick a wagon. Now, we've got an uneven number, which means one person has to go it alone; if anyone wants to volunteer for going it alone, that's fine, too. But, partner up or stick it alone, pick a wagon, and we'll head on out to see what happens!"

Monday - Period One: Fuck Yeah! Science!

[badassprodigy]

Instructions had been sent out in handwavily means to tell all students to meet Barry at the park. When they arrived there they would find Barry had set up a few tables. One of them had various breakfast foods and beverages because it was fucking Monday morning and who wanted to deal with an 8:00 am class on an empty stomach? The second table had composition notebooks and a bunch of research materials on dinosaurs available.

The final table was off limits and had a sheet draped over it. Behind it was a very large tent.

"Morning. I'm Barry Ween and I was student much like yourself a few years ago," he said cheerfully once everyone had gathered. "So you're probably either an old hand at this or totally freaked out by now. My advice? Embrace the weird and your life will get a lot easier for you. Welcome to Fuck Yeah! Science! The whole point here is to have fun and make sure you learn something as well."

"Normally the first class is all about introductions. But fuck that. I'm turning all you motherfuckers into dinosaurs."

[ETA: Dinosaur icons are on the OOC thread if you need them]

Superheroing 101- Monday- 3rd period

[throughaphase]

"Morning, everybody. Welcome to Superheroing 101, and probably the only time you'll be in a classroom fir the rest of the semester. Mostly we're going to be in the Danger Shop, working through scenarios and testing what you can do.

"For those of you who don't know me, I'm Kitty Pryde, and I'm a mutant who's been a superhero since I was thirteen. I'm technically out of it right now but still go back to it when they need me. I think I've kind of been through it all by now, and while there are some really heavy parts to it, it can also be a lot of fun, and when you get down to it, it's all about helping people.

"So," Kitty said, "we're going to start with introductions today. I want your name, where you're from, and any powers you're willing to disclose. Don't feel like you have to. And then we're going to think about what kind of superhero you'd want to be."
