Boom-De-Yada Science - Danger Shop, Wednesday, Period 1 [Week 12]

[worsethanaunts.livejournal.com]

Upon entering the Danger Shop, the students found themselves on the side of a mountain. They weren't dangling or anything like that. There was a perfectly good landing to fit them all and a perfectly good (if steep) path leading down to the village below and the water beyond that. Everything was grand as it could be, except for the fact that the mountain had smoke wafting up from its top.

The Doctor waited for the door to close behind the last of them. The ground rumbled underneath their feet. He gave them a look that spelled out their doom, namely a 'this is going to be fuuuuun' smile. Turning to look up at the mountain, he pointed out the smoke. "Volcano. Don't die. Have fun!"

The rumbling happened again and the top of the volcano exploded into life, sending burning rocks and a spray of lava, smoke and ash into the air.

With that, he broke into a trot down the steep mountain path. Anyone not wanting to deal with lava would have been wise to follow.

Mountain Path

For getting the hell out of there before the lava gets you. It's steep, it's rocky and slippery in places and while it's certainly a path you can use to get out of there, it's not going to be easy going.

It wasn't real, but it felt like it was real, so Raven instinctively unleashed her Soul-Self to shield herself and anyone near her from the ash and lava raining down on them.

Christian clambered down the path, barely managing to keep his footing.

he lost it entirely at the bottom, and skidded the last few feet to safety.

There's a time when reminding yourself it's not a real volcano just loses its effect. That time would be about now.

"I can see the boom but not the de-yada on a freaking volcano!" But she was running alright, arms up in a surely improbably efficient defensive stance.

Claudia broke into a full blown, no holds barred, barely managing to keep from just falling over and rolling down the hill run, throwing in the occasional attempt to hurdle over various rocks.

It's possible she most closely resembled one of the dudes from that Scottish cheese roll thing.

Kurt started running down the mountain as fast as he could, but slowed when he saw the village below.

He stopped running and waved his arms, trying to get his classmates' attention. Sure, it was just a simulation, but he was an X-Man!

"Hey, everybody!!!" he shouted. "Let's save that village!!!"

Helen sighed, then took off running.
