Strategy Games; Friday, 08.14.09; Fifth period

[bau-woobie.livejournal.com]

There were only two boxes out on the tables today.

"Today," Reid said, as the class assembled. "Today I thought we'd try something a little more complicated. Today," he continued, gesturing to the two boxes. "Risk itself is a relative newcomer, compared to the other games we've done so far, but as a war game, it's part of a tradition that goes back... that goes back as far as war itself does. Many of the games we play in modern times are in essence war games - the simulated and highly stylised battlefield of chess, for example. Risk is just more blatant about being what it is.

"The rules of the game should be in each box. If either is missing a set, or there's something you don't understand, come to me and I'll explain it, but part of learning about board games is learning how to read the directions." He flashed the class a quick smile, before sitting down at his desk.

((pls wait for OCD is up!))

...such as it is.

No, the random re-appearance of breasts was not going to keep Sam from coming to class today. That didn't mean he was going to look pleased about his situation, of course.

Re: Lecture

Ben looked cranky.

Well, and female. But mostly cranky.

Re: Lecture

[icecoldfrost]

Well, Karla had complained that Ben had a better rack, so now, of course, Emma was going to try and sneak a peek once she had narrowed down which one he (she?) was, so that she could assure the other girl that this was not the case.

It was Friend Duty, and therefore serious business.

Ben slumped a little lower in his chair. "Hi."

Re: Lecture

Having already run into Jon, Claire suspected that some of these unfamiliar girls were actually her male classmates.

It was just a matter of figuring out who was who.

Ellie had no idea yet that anything weird was going on, so she just assumed there were exchange students in class. Or something.

Risk!

[bau-woobie.livejournal.com]

There were two boards, so there should have been enough for everyone to play.

Re: Risk!

[likethegun]

Sam had never actually played Risk, but it seemed like a good way to get his mind off of things today.

Re: Risk!

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

Claire sat down opposite him. Her. Whatever.

"Need a partner?"

Re: Risk!

[likethegun]

Oh god oh god.

"Um, yeah, sure, that'd be great," Sam said. Maybe Claire would think he was a transfer student. Or someone foreign. He could hope, couldn't he?

Re: Risk!

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

Claire smiled. Maybe if she hadn't seen all the other 'new' girls around she would believe that.

And given that there were only four boys in the class... narrowing down who he was wasn't that terribly difficult.

"Unless you're too distracted to play," she teased.

TA

When she signs in.

Re: TA

Fiona was there, of course. And her correct gender, also of course.

Reid

...had a coffee, and was there if anyone needed him.

Re: Reid

[bau-beefcake.livejournal.com]

Hopefully, Reid could figure out who the pretty woman putting an arm around his shoulders was from the rest of the data available.

"Hey, you got to be normal today. Lucky you."

Re: Reid

[bau-woobie.livejournal.com]

Reid jumps, and stares, glad that he's finished his coffee, so he can't spill it.

His mind races for one second, two, and then--

"--Morgan?!"

Re: Reid

[bau-beefcake.livejournal.com]

He couldn't help it. He leaned close and whispered the answer in a husky purr.

"Got it in one, pretty boy."

Re: Reid

[bau-woobie.livejournal.com]

"---it got you too?" Whatever 'it' was.

OOC

[bau-woobie.livejournal.com]

If anyone was unable to sign in or anything last week... I fully understand, and unless you want your kid to have missed class for whatever reason, I'll just say everyone was there.

:D?
