Beach Play - Tuesday - Period 5

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

Today the class met in the Danger Shop where it still looked like the beach only now Marshall was in control of everything. It sort of made him feel like a god. Or that dude from The Truman Show. Either way it was badass.

"You might be wondering why we're meeting in the Danger Shop when it's a perfectly nice day outside. No, I just don't have a god complex. I need to make sure it's breezy out because today we are flying these things--" Marshall held up a kite. "For those of you who don't know, this is a kite. The whole point of a kite is to get it to fly in the air and, more importantly, stay in the air. They're not really a fun toy. It's more of a toy used to show off in front of your friends because these little suckers can be hard to work."

Marshall went a little bit into how to get a kite up in the air before actually demonstrating it. He made it look remarkably easy. "Now it's not going to be this easy for all of you. Actually I bet some of you won't be able to do it at all. Some people have the gift and some don't. It's nothing to be ashamed of."

"So each of you grab a kite and practice flying it. If your kite starts going down and heading towards the head of another student please shout 'Fore!' or 'Oh my god, duck!' as a warning," Marshall said. "Don't shout 'heads up' because that is a completely misleading term."

Why would you put up your head if something is about to hit it?

Sing that song if you have to.

Hannibal grabbed a kite and, after a few false starts, managed to get it into the air. He did not sing but his kite was high and not coming down.

Eleanor's kite had a wonderful talent for nose diving straight into the ground. She was beginning to wonder if it was defective in some manner.

Priestly had managed to find a stunt kite, and was currently attempting to get the sucker to do loops and swoops without losing the wind.

He totally wasn't planning on having it attack other kites. No, really, he swears. . . .

Alex snagged a kite and managed to get it up into the air with relative ease. It was even staying in the air. She might have been a little proud of herself because of it.

Taking a moment or five to watch others with their respectable kites, Edward joined in, managing his quite effectively as he stood still, poised with a fisted hand to his hip.

Francine could, in fact, fly a kite. Mostly because it didn't really require dexterity or grace, just persistence and the ability to hold on tight. That, she had in abundance.

Jaina really could have tried harder to keep her kite up. The way she figured, she was saving her energy for the gym time she'd have to engage in to make up for kite-flying.
