Ocker 101 - week two - period four [Friday 21/05]
When they walked into the Danger Shop, the students would find themselves in the Australian bush. Mick was leaning against a gum tree, watching them from under his hat.
"G'day and welcome to the bush. Not the real bush, mind, cause I reckon you lot'd end up dead right quick, but the blokes in the office did a good job setting this up. Today you're gonna learn about critters, and how a bunch of them can kill you. Even these little blighters." He reached down and picked up an adorable platypus, holding it out for the class to see. "Poisonous spurs in his feet. Even if it doesn't kill you, it hurts so bad you'll wish you were dead." He grinned. "Mate of mine reckons they're cute, but don't let that fool you. Just cause somethin's cute or looks harmless, don't mean it won't see you dead. And just cause it's ugly don't mean it'll hurt you. Not a bad lesson to learn, that."
He put the platypus down and it waddled away into the billabong with a offended splash. "Now, I could give you a lot of books or spend my time telling you all about them, but that's no fun." Another grin. Be afraid. "Instead, you're gonna meet a bunch of Aus' critters face to face. Now, the Outback has got more'n its fair share of things that'll kill you, but its not the only place. What you've gotta do is watch, listen, stay sharp. Look at how things move, how they act. You know what something's gonna do, you can stay out of trouble, but if you wanna know that, you've gotta pay attention. Don't just react. Think'n then act."
He hit a button and a door appeared. "Off you go, one at a time 'cause I wanna see what you do on your own. When you're done just say 'hooroo' and the door'll appear. No worries, nothing will actually hurt you, but still, try'n stay outta trouble."
[OOC: WARNING. THERE WILL BE SPIDER ICONS IN THE THIRD THREAD. And other animals, but the spiders are truly horrifying. OCD has been achieved. Have at it.Plz wait for the OCD.]

Re: Through the door you go
To all appearances bumbling and comically harmless, it lifted its crest, twisted its head around so it was looking at Clark upside down, and started sidling sideways along the ground towards his foot.
