my life as a buddy movie | period 2 | wednesday | june 17

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

Today, the class was meeting in the Danger Shop after being handwavily notified of the change in venue. Loki was leaning against one of the walls, grinning slyly. Or innocently. His sly grin and his innocent grin did look about the same after all.

"Good morning," he chirped brightly, trying to make himself sound like a morning person even if he wasn't a morning person. "Today, we're going to look at another aspect of working with a partner. Endurance. Endurance, basically, is the act of sustaining prolonged stressful effort. If you don't think working with another person is fucking stressful then you're doing it wrong."

Really wrong.

"Basically, like all the previous lessons have said, it's going to take fucking time and energy to make your partnership as good as it could fucking be. If you give up immediately, then you're never going to know how good things could have been. If you give up that easily, I'm going to fucking label you a wimp too. You have to take the stress and use it and do that continually when you're working with someone. Fucking off because it's too hard isn't going to work. You have to endure."

He sounded like a fucking movie of the week. Ugh.

"So, when you're working with a partner and you're taking their shit and they're taking your shit, it's important to have some kind of alone time to de-stress. It could be exercising, reading, sleeping or doing some of the other dirty, wrong, bad stuff you kids do. Just make sure you have it. If you're attached at the fucking hip to someone, that stress is going to boil over into violence. Believe me, I fucking know."

It was just too bad Bartleby couldn't be injured. Fucking prick angel.

"For today, we're just going to see how good your endurance is. We're going to have some fun on a fucking ropes course." Oh yes. "I expect to see everyone on these things, running through the various activities and working for your fucking asses off. And do it together. This is a team building exercise for a fucking reason."

Once done with his lecture, he got things going and waited to watch the students on the ropes course.

Hurley realized he was going to be expected to run these rope courses.

He was sweating just thinking about it.

. . . this wasn't all that different from rope bridges across ravines, was it?

At least it wasn't ladders . . .

Maron... didn't have a problem with this course idea at all. Other than checking to make sure her shorts were long enough and being glad that she hadn't worn a skirt today!

...what was it with the obstacle courses this week? Fiona sighed a little but she figured it would be fun.

Jack stared at the obstacle course. Yeah...this should be fun.

Griff always stared at Loki and his particular brand of insane. He also prepared to be labeled by the professor.

"Oh, this isn't so bad," Gabrielle announced when she got to the top of the linear course. She peered down at the ground. No lava. No ravine. Huh. "Lacks the certain-doom element, but I can do this."

She gamely started in on the course, and in short order found herself resembling . . . oh, more of a fly in a spider's web.

"Okay. This isn't so bad. I can get out of this, right? I'll just . . . yeah."

Jack really should be waiting to do this with a partner, but he was itching to get started. It just looked so fun!

Griff though he could manage heights and chose to start with the Sky Trail. He climbed up and looked around for a moment before getting started across the ropes.

Who probably have some stamina of their own!

Amber had stamina, just not this morning.

Nope. She was more than happy just to kick back and watch the students on the rope course while she ate her donut and drank her coffee.

Re: The TA's [BM 06/17]

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

Effy totally had stamina.

Possibly not in the realm of rope courses, but she was hardly about to admit that to anyone.

When she wasn't trying trying to scale one of those structures, she'd be around to... help, or something.

Loki [BM 06/17]

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

Who's got more stamina than anyone ever. Just ask him.

Re: Loki [BM 06/17]

Today it was a box of cinnamon sugar donuts. She brought two large coffee's with her too. She needed to wake the crap up just like her mun.

Surprise, surprise, Daisy was popping in after Loki's class to help her kill some time before the newbie lunch with DiNozzo. "Parfait?" she asked, offering one out.

Ropes courses are freaking awesome as hell.
