fandomhigh | Shop Class #2

As the students walk in, Mac is busy tinkering with a remote control car. He looks up and smiles and gestures to...

Surrounding the room are a series of small bank vaults.

"Today kids we are going to see how you guys do pulling a houdini. You are all going to be tied up with rope and locked in a bank vault that is currently under constuction. Your goal is to get out of the ropes and break out of the vault. If you wish to partner up with someone you may, or you can work on your own."

Each of the vaults have:
safety deposit boxes - filled with typical stuff you would find there
An oxygen tank
A toolbox with your standard tools
A drill ((Not able to penetrate vault door, walls or lock. Can puncture safety deposit box locks))
A chair
((No power tools available. No cutting torches or welding equipment feel free to add anything you might find in a bank vault))
Of course you will have your virtual Swiss Army Knife and Duct tape with you.

For next Tuesday, you will be required to make a homemade smokescreen to use as a means to escape detection. Please make a list of the items you require and we will replicate it here in the Danger ~~Room~~ Shop.

Sam? I want you to come up with an in-class assignment for next Thursday.

Kitty? Please arrange a time to work with Cally to train her on to use the Danger ~~Room~~ Shop Technology.

Open Shop/Office Hours are here today from 12-4. ((Please post in the appropriate response below.))

Okay kids. Let's see how you do...

After class is over, Mac does his magic with the remote and your standard metal/wood shop tools appear.

"There are wood and metal materials in the supply closet. Remember! Safety first."

"Oh Krycek? Aren't you supposed to interview me for the paper?"

Sam stands awkwardly in the doorway. "Mac, do you have a minute?"

Mac has returned to the tinkering of the remote control car.

"Sure thing Sam. Everything okay?"

"Oh, yeah, everything's okay," she shrugged. "I, um, just wanted to know if I could have your permission to keep the Harley I'm restoring here in the shop over the winter. I'm keeping it in the junkyard right now, but it's going to start getting cold soon."

She paused, then said, "I also wanted to thank you for the TA job. I kind of made a mess of things on Tuesday, so I'm sorry for that. But what exactly are my duties? ~~Other than flattering the mullet, of course.~~"

We can partner up? Hmmmm, I wonder who ever will be my partner... ::smiles, gazing upwards innocently::

*looks around* ~~*Does not think of tying certain class members up with ropes.*~~

Mac nods.

"I think we have enough room in the supply closet to store your Harley. You're welcome to work on it here during Open Shop hours as well."

"As for your responsibilities as a TA, I'd like you to work with the students whenever possible if they get stuck trying to solve a solution. If I'm not available for class, I'll need you to cover for me and make sure no one harms themselves. I'd also like you to come up with your own class assignments every other week or so. I'll let you run the assignment with my supervision. You should probably also get with Kitty so you can be trained on how to use the Danger Shop. How does that sound?"

((OOC:Also I'll be going out of the country sometime in Jan/Feb timeframe for two weeks so I'll need you to cover me for classes.))

((OOC: No mackin' in the shop class. Unless it's with the professor :P))

~~Oh so it's going to be one of *those* classes today is it?~~

Sam smiled. One thing off her list of things to worry about. "Thank you, Mac. I really appreciate it."

"Good. It's good to know what you expect from me ahead of time. Any hints on the class assignments? ~~And I was going to try and bribe Kitty anyway...~~"

((OOC: Okay. Just remind me, please. I have a brain like a sieve sometimes.))

"A houdini, huh?" Rogue mutters to herself. As she's tied up, she inhales deeply, expanding her chest, and loosening the ropes. Once everything is secure, she exhales, and starts to wriggle her right arm free. She manages to pull her right arm out, loosing her glove in the process, and feels around for her knife. She finds it in her pocket, and has to wriggle some more to pull it out. As soon as she has, she cuts herself free.

"Now for the hard part." Rogue looks around the bankvault, then walks in a circle touching everything with her now-bare right hand. "Damn." She looks at the drill and the oxegyn tank, wondering...but that's too dangerous.

[[OOC: And will continue below, because my computer hates me.]]

[[ooc: Yes, you will be having to deal with the couple deemed too cute for words in your class. Ha!]]

~~*Also does not think of tying certain professors up with ropes (but only because the mullet would get tangled in the rope fibers)*~~

[[OOC: The vault is under construction? Like, it's not completely finished? Or am I reading this wrong?]]

"Oh just come up with a seemingly impossible task and come up with a list of items that students can use to escape the situation."

((I'll give you plenty of warning. Before I'll leave I'll give you a list of classes to follow. I may have another professor sit it to supervise, but you will run the class.))

[OOC: That was just an excuse to put tools in the vault. It is completely enclosed and the locking mechanism works.]

"Seemingly impossible task. List of items. Check."

Now all she had to do was brainstorm by next Thursday.

((OOC: Thanks.))

~~*Does not fluff mullet in your general direction*~~

~~*Is not disappointed that you didn't find hockey!MacGyver teh sexy in the last class*~~

Are you really fluffing the mullet, or is that just a euphemism? *is suspicious*

~~*is sorry for not saying anything*~~

Han tenses as the ropes go on. "Ah no, not behind my back. You just hadda make it complicated."

Once left to his devices, he hits the floor, trying to get the bound wrists in front of him by passing his legs through the hoop of his arms. (More difficult than you'd think when the ankles are tied too) Once they are, he twists against the ropes, and brings the knots up to his teeth. Eventually getting his wrists undone, he unties his ankles and looks at the vault.

using the oxygen tank, a strip of his shirt and the duct tape, he rigs an explosive. He uses a spark from drilling through the metal to set another strip of his shirt afire and uses that to light the fuse. He takes refuge at the far end of the vault as the door blows off.

~~*Is really fluffing the mullet*~~

~~*Just kidding regarding the hockey thing. Just hoping to find a way for you to drive Jack nuts*~~

[OOC: Thank God Marty & Angela broke up. Fandom high would go into a diabetic coma if you were all in the same room.]

*kisses Cally's nose* Funny, I don't have one yet either . . .

Mac watches in approval as the oxygen tank blows off the door and flies across the room hurting no one since the safety locks are on.

"Nice Job Solo."
