Overcoming Obstacles - Friday, 1st Period

[imafuturist]

There were three dogs waiting for the class to arrive for their first day. Three, adorable, hyperactive dogs.

Oh, and two teachers. They were there too.

"Hi, hopefully no one is allergic to dogs," Tony said. "Because that'd make this difficult."

Steve was holding the leashes for a Husky, who was sitting like she had nothing better to do all day and a Belgian Malinois, who was sitting but vibrating with the excitement of seeing new friends.

"Let us know now," Steve said, nodding, "and we'll take it up with the moose for you."

"Otherwise... let's get our introductions in," Tony said brightly. "I'm Tony Stark, he's Steve Rogers, and these two are Libby and Fee. Fee, don't chew on the desk."

The Malinois stopped chewing on the desk for approximately three seconds before trying again.

"And the corgi is Patriot," Steve said with a grin at the slightly calmer (compared to the other two) dog by Tony's feet.

Patriot was an angel and no, Tony would not be allowing anyone to question that fact.

"How about we get introductions from the class and, yes, yes you can pet any of the dogs," Tony said because he knew the main lure of the class.

Fee's entire body perked up at the word "pet."

Combat 101, Friday Second Period

[ifwebeworthy]

"Good morning," Thor greeted his students once they had assembled in the Danger Shop, which was set up to look like a training facility, with mats on the floor and racks of weapons lining the walls. "I am Thor, and this is Combat. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the facility, we are currently inside a simulation, with safeguards in place. You cannot come to any great harm here, but I find that some little harm is necessary when learning to fight. You must learn how to take a fall. You must learn how to take a hit. Some of this knowledge will come with bruises, with aches that remind us of our limits so that we may surpass them.

"I fear I am not particularly well-acquainted with any of you, so we shall begin with the customary introductions. Fear not; unless you have another class today it is the last time you shall be subjected to them this semester. Please tell me who you are, and your level of experience with combat or self-defense, and in what form. Let me know what I am working with, and then I will know where we should begin."
