phases_of_kitty? I'm giving you TA status based on your ability to handle Shi'ar technology. You'll be the technical TA.

The rest of you? One of you will be dealing with students and if you want... coming up with class ideas.

[OOC: Look below for your Try-out link. Use the reference materials above for ideas. Feel free to play around with it and try and "MacGyver your way out of the situation I'm about to put you in]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Mac flips a couple of switches on his remote and Cally finds herself locked in a deep freezer. Mac Hands her a virtual winter coat, a Swiss Army Knife and a roll of duct tape.

"The lock is unpickable with the knife. Go ahead and use anything you find here in the deep freeze to break the lock on the door and to your freedom"

[OOC: Feel free to use your imagination of what is in the room, but try and keep it limited to what might be in a walk-in freezer. I'll be checking in throughout the day to see how you do. ]

::Cally had come extra prepared, in her father's jumpsuit and wearing her toolpouch::

Sir, I guess this means I shouldn't be using these? ::takes off her toolpouch, and sets it down::

Well, this is... interesting.

::puts the duct tape over her wrist like a bracelet, pulls the coat over her jumpsuit, and begins looking around at the what she can find in the freezer::

"Sorry. Only your pocket knife, duct tape and what is in the room"

[OOC: This is based on an episode of MacGyver BTW]

Well... I'm definitely not gonna be able to just break the door down...

Okay... what've I got to work with?

::continues looking around::

Ice. A couple lightbulbs. Big slabs of meat. Big crate of ice cream... oooh, rocky road. Atleast if I died, I'd die contently. ::giggle::

::pinches the bridge of her nose::

Think, think, think...

[ooc: I know! I just want to draw this out and be fun, cause I know teh Macguyver way out, and I'm trying to come up with something different...]

[OOC: You don't know how tempted I was to give you a toaster to repair.]

[ooc: ::dies laughing:: I hate you! ::dies laughing again::]

::goes over and stares at the lock, poking it occassionally with the swiss army knife::

Okay... picking it is out of the question, so I'm gonna have to break it. No visible screws, so...

::if Cally were a cartoon character, a lightbulb would now suddenly appear over her head::

Wait, we always used to get engine cracks in the winter, when water would drip in and freeze, busting out small bits...

::looks over at the ice, the crate of ice cream pints, and back at the lock::

Oh, I so totally have this.

::Cally goes over, and looks up at the light::

Alright, that's my heat source... but I gotta get the water down from here, over into the lock.

::pulls over the crate of Rocky Road pints, opens it, and starts her first step. She pulls off the lid, occasionally taking a lick of the ice cream, and then cuts the pint in half, shaking the ice cream free, and finally removing the bottom, so she has two vaguely half cylindrical pieces::

::She then duct tapes these pieces into a long, somewhat flexible troth::

::she then tapes this troth into place, one end by the lightbulb, the other leading directly into the door lock::

Now it's the easy part. ::starts chipping pieces of ice off of things and holds them up near the light bulb::

::grins:: Hope this works!

[ooc: I didn't want to god-mod it actually succeeding, unless that's okay?]

[OOC: This is your solution so feel free to god mod it through to the end. I have to go offline for the rest of the day and weekend. Results will be posted on Monday.]

::sadly, the water has too far to travel, and is simply refreezing further down on the troth::

Frak!

::frowns, and looks around her again::

Wait, the army knife won't work to pick the lock... but... ::pulls on her work gloves, and then reaches up to unscrew the lightbulb::

This should work. ::carefully smashes the light bulb, and removes the filament wires::

::kneels next to the lock, and begins trying to fiddle it open with the filament wires, starting to shiver from the cold::

Ha! I'm a frakking genius. ::the lock pops open::

Note to self, try the simpler plan first next time.
