Dogma: Fuck It! | Wednesday | Period 1

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

The class was meeting back in the Danger Shop today. That, unfortunately, meant Loki couldn't sprawl on his desk but it also meant he might get a really fucking funny show depending on how things went.

"Morning!" he said jovially, grinning. "Glad to see you all made it back. Today, we're going to a fucking party."

With that said, Loki got the simulation going to reveal a rather raucous party in what looked to be someone's very expansive home. There was loud music, drinks and food and the ambiance was one of energy and happiness.

"Your assignment for today is to find someone in this crowd and pick them up," Loki told them. "I don't care how you do it but you find someone, you flirt with them and you either get their number or, if you're bold, get them to makeout with you. I don't care what anyone tells you, being with another person is one of the best fucking things you could ever choose to do. It feels fucking good and, unless one of you is shitty at it, it will always feel good even if you don't have those shitty feelings attached to it."

Emotions. Ugh.

"Don't fucking hold yourselves back," Loki advised. "You only live once, why waste it saving yourself? It's bullshit, it's inevitable that saving yourself probably won't matter and you're missing out. Don't waste your lives waiting, kids. Have your fun while you fucking can."

With that, he set them loose on the party.

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III

Chat with each other, take notes (Loki will laugh at you), stand there and look awkward, practice your flirting, whatever!

Standing and looking awkward; oh yeah, Hiccup was embracing that today. With a side order of looking a little bit nervous.

Not so much at the assignment itself, but he kept picturing Astrid's likely reaction. It was...violent, and not in the usual good way.

Raven just stared. She did that a lot in this class.

"I have a boyfriend," she stated. "And I do not 'pick people up.'"

Didi frowned during the lecture. Jono was one thing, but she was pretty certain this simulation involved a situation she'd never actually be in.

She decided to treat it as an acting exercise.

Robin blinked at the assignment, and stared at the party that appeared.

"Heh, is it real, or is it fake? If it's fake... hmm." He tapped at his chin thoughtfully and then shrugged. "No guts, no glory." Off he went into the crowd.

Kurt nervously raised a hand. "What if we would rather go to a not-fucking party?" he asked, only half joking.

Add one more to the standing and looking awkward camp, right here.

Zack. Awkward. It was kind of like one was made to exist hand-in-hand with the other, wasn't it?

Class Activity | Picking Someone Up [D!FI 05/26]

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

The party is in full swing. Find that lucky girl or guy and try and pick them up!

Re: Class Activity | Picking Someone Up [D!FI 05/26]

Okay, party. People. Girl type people. Find one, talk to her. This wouldn't be so bad. He would just neglect to mention this particular class when he wrote home.

Hiccup cautiously approached a tall, pale, blonde girl, leaning against a wall, looking bored. Bored was good.

"Hi there." He gave a little wave. "I'm Hiccup, mighty viking."

A raised eyebrow. Maybe a tiny smile.

"That's right," he continued, encouraged. "Mighty viking. I've even got a pointy hat, but I left in my other pants."

The tiny smile disappeared. Her gaze drifted over his shoulder. Time for desperate measures.

He lowered his voice, leaning a bit closer. "So, do you want to see my dragon?" The look she gave him was deeply incredulous, both eyebrows hitting her hairline. "It's big," he continued, gesturing in the air. "You could ride it if you wanted, everyone loves riding my dragon."

And now he he was wearing a drink on his head. "What did I say?" he called after her retreating form.

There was coke dripping down his face, puddling in his tunic, and gluing his hair to his scalp. "That went well."

Raven just stood awkwardly off to the side, wtfing at this class.

Helen was very good at picking up NPC's random people at parties. At least when she wasn't at Fandom.

She smiled at a likely looking guy and it didn't take long before they were finding a dark quiet corner to do a little making out.

See, there was a reason Effy had been all confidence about her ability in this class. She was good at this. Most at home in the middle of a party. The wilder the better.

Making out with fake NPC people felt a little wrong, somehow (and besides, wasn't sure if that counted as going against her... okay, she'd call it a thing), but that wouldn't stop her from finding someone to dance with.

Didi was doing her usual party thing -- standing off to the side, looking vaguely pleasant (in a We Are Very Goth way) as she scoped out the room. A cute guy who reminded her vaguely of Sexton leaned against the wall next to her, smirking at the room in general. Didi rotated to face him. "So," she said, conversationally, "I'm Death."

He rolled his eyes. "Why do the weird chicks always talk to me?"

It was safe to say Didi had struck out. It might have even been intentional.

Robin wandered the party for a time, pausing to grab something to munch on, and something to wash that down. Then he wormed his way onto the dance floor, and after a quick glance at how everyone else around him was moving, starting moving in a decent imitation of the latest dance.

This is how you did it folks.

Sookie found herself somewhere to sit, trying to ignore the stupid activity. Eventually, a boy approached and sat down next to her. "Hey there. Why're you sitting all alone?"

She was good enough at telling body language -- even if she couldn't read his mind -- that she knew he thought she was attractive. She could go one of two ways with this: she could succeed at the assignment, or she could not cheat on her boyfriend with a simulation. (Because yes, she saw it as cheating.)

She went with option three: drive the guy off.

"I have rabies," she said simply, smiling at him. "The doctors only just let me out, and they're pretty sure it's gone, but that I shouldn't take any risks. To hell with them, though! How're you? I'm kind of itchy."

Weird how he didn't want to talk to her anymore after that. She silently thanked Tara (at-home Tara) for teaching her what would work with that.

Talking to girls usually led to Kurt getting shot down. Amanda had approached HIM, after all...


So, instead, he hopped onto the dance floor and got down and got funKAY. After a bit, he looked around for any hot frauleins that looked like they were having as much fun as he was.

Re: Class Activity | Picking Someone Up [D!FI 05/26]

Okay, Zack could do this! Flash one of the cute girls around here a smile. Maybe let her peer into his big blue eyes... How could this possibly go wrong?

... It maybe helped that these people weren't real, and all. Right? Right! He was the man!

Beka didn't mind parties, she enjoyed the music and when there were friends she could dance and enjoy herself. Having to talk to folk she didn't know came closer to trying to beat herself with her own baton.

Twas one thing to find a pretty cove on Beltane and another to do it here. Eventually one cove came up and talked to her and a little bit later she was dancing. Even if she'd trouble with this sort of dances, which'd be why he disappeared soon after.

He's around but he's not gonna help you with your flirting!

OOC [D!FI 05/26]

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

Feel free to mod your NPC girl or guy and your success rate. If you'd like me to play someone for you, just ping down here and let me know if you'd like a guy or a girl! I've got a three hour training later in the morning but I'll answer all pings ASAP!

Re: OOC [D!FI 05/26]

[trigons_child]

*snerk* Feel free to throw someone at Raven, otherwise she's just going to hide omg.

Re: OOC [D!FI 05/26]

[hrodberxtas.livejournal.com]

Hehe, feel free to throw someone at Robin. Surprise him. :)

Re: OOC [D!FI 05/26]

[puppy_fair]

If you feel up to it, Zack would love someone to attempt to pick up!

... And being Zack, he'll try on pretty much anyone who wanders past. Because Zack can have UST with table legs. So have fun!
