Yoga; Thursday, Second Period [05/18].

[died8yearsago]

Well, it appeared to be another pretty good day for beach yoga, so they were back at it again that week, where Rosa was already there in the same spot from last time, sitting with her legs folded in front of her and focusing on the rain on the rooftop to help her channel out some of her more murderous tendencies before it was time to start. It was surprisingly effective, even if she did sort of sneer a little when she opened her eyes to see that people actually still came presumably to her class.

"Right," she said, sighing a little and unfolding her legs and rising with an easy, almost fluid grace, and just went right into it. "So last week, we went over some of the basic poses you'll find in yoga. This week, we're going to talk about sequences. Sequences are basically taking individual poses and stringing them together, hopefully in ways that transition smoothly and enhance the effectiveness of those poses. You can always put together your own sequences to fit your needs, but there are some pretty standard and typical ones, too. The most well known of these is probably the sun salutation, which consists of twelve asanas that flow into each other in sequence. Keep in mind, there are a few variations of this particular sequence, too, so if you're more familiar with another one....okay, whatever, stick with that...but this is the one we'll be learning today. You can take it or leave it."

And, with that, Rosa began a step-by-step break-down of the Sun Salutation and was just going to assume everyone was following along. They were all adults. They didn't need her to hold their hands.

And if they did, boy, were they ever in the wrong class.

Camp Cooking Essentials; Thursday, Third Period [05/18].

When the class arrived at their designated little camping spot in the preserve, they'd find the area set up very similarly to last week, with the exception of a camp grill instead of the camp stove, and a few of those classic charcoal grills found in most parks, as well as one for over a campfire. And, when his watch alarm alerted him to the fact that it was time to begin class, Ignis got started with no wasted time and nodded to the gathered students.

"Welcome back," he said. "No doubt, when most people think of cooking for camp, they think of grilling, and that is what we will be focused on today, especially when it comes to kebobs and skewers, and other forms of meats on sticks."

Somewhere, in another part of the island, a blacksmith's attention was caught, and she couldn't quite explain why.

"We'll take a few moments to introduce ourselves to various essentials of grilling, and then we will get to work on preparing a few skewers and kebobs for ourselves. Of course, the beauty of this simple and effective style of preparation is that it is also highly adaptable. You can put almost anything on a stick, introduce it to fire and heat in some capacity, and have a meal that satisfies and fulfills, so long as you don't..." There was a linger pause here, for anyone past and present who had a particular proclivity toward such a thing, "...burn them. But, of course, if you'd like to be more by the book than free form, I do have a couple of recipes for you to try, if you'd like.

"So, without further ado, and hopefully with great caution....let us begin."

Paintball!, Thursday - 4th Period

[imafuturist]

Your teachers were actually here this week! And looking maybe a little sheepish about it.

"Sorry about last week, I got a little too wrapped up in design work," Tony told the class.

"And I went back to our temporary quarters to shower off the Jello from Jane and Cara's class and completely forgot about turning around again. My apologies," Steve added, turning red.

"But we're back!" Tony said, clapping his hands together once. "And it's time to showcase your skills at paintball in the most simple of courses. There's cover and there are paintball guns. And jumpsuits too because we know you don't want to get your clothes stained for a class."

Maybe.

"Especially if you've already changed once from Jello," Steve added. "Um. No special powers today if they're the sort of things you can turn off, okay?"

"Let's have some fun!" Tony added brightly.

Library, Thursday 5/18

[noonedecidesmyfate]

The library had tables full of paper, markets, colored pencils, pens, and all manner of coloring books and other items to color.

The library also had one table of gremlins cheerfully coloring and only occasionally squabbling over who could use which colors.

Belle, having already stopped back at the dorms for a quick shower and change of clothes, took a container of sparkly gel pens and a bookmark with her to the desk where she could color and keep an eye on any activity.

The Floor is Lava - Thursday, Period One

[wrongkindofsith]

Well, today the danger shop was done up to look like an arcade that was half submerged in jello the lava, complete with terribly out of date colors to give it a vaporwave feel. A meta for Tron feel, really. But who didn't want to jump onto a Pac Man machine to safety?

"So, this time around, Cara and I are participating," Jane said with a touch of uncertainty. Her poor cape, guys. It didn't need jello on it.

"We're also allowing powers today, to keep things interesting," Cara added, with all the confidence of being the person with the Danger Shop remote.

"It'll be fine," Jane said, though she did not seem particularly confident in that fact.

"For one of you at least." Nice encouragement there, Cara.
