Adventures, Capers and Escapes - Danger Shop, Thursday, Period 3

[worsethanaunts.livejournal.com]

"Raise your hand and give an exasperated look if you've ever been on the receiving end of unwanted amorous attention." The Doctor raised his hand, gave an exasperated look and then raised the other hand. "There is no greater escape than from the clutches of someone who thinks they're in love with you. Or lust. Sometimes they can't tell the difference. Sometimes it doesn't matter. In the spirit of yesterday, and no I don't want to talk about it, and the upcoming Valentine's Day...thing," he said, looking as if the words themselves tasted bad, "you're going to put your skills to the test."

He walked down the centre of the group to separate them. "You," he said to the group on his left once he turned around. "Are in love with them. One of them, some of them, all of them. You can work it out and surprise each other. Those to my right are not in love with these amorous sorts. Left group, start using your powers of persuasion to tell the intended target of your love how much you care about them. Keep it clean, please. I've spent enough time with Jack Harkness to have had my fill of below the belt comments. Right group, time to use your powers of persuasion to tell this lot to kindly get lost. Cara? No weapons, no touching. The same goes for the rest of you. Fifteen minutes, then switch sides so you have to deal with being annoyed and being the annoyer. Then we're going to sit here and eat because fending off the advances of unwanted attention is tiring."

There was a table full of food for everyone after the exercise. Of course, it was also a good place to retreat from the group if you'd had enough of the exercise after five minutes.

Like you're avoiding someone.

First Fifteen

[worsethanaunts.livejournal.com]

Left group is in love with right group. Pairs, trios, a free for all love war? It's up to you! Barge right in.

Second Fifteen

[worsethanaunts.livejournal.com]

Tables have turned. Right group is in love with left group. Will payback be in order?

Food Table!

[worsethanaunts.livejournal.com]

For escaping or general after-exercise talking for the last half of class.

Talk to the Doctor or TAs

Cara

Re: First Fifteen

[wrongkindofsith]

Cara did not need to touch someone to put the fear of her into them. It just helped was all.

She looked terribly approachable, really she did.

Re: Talk to the Doctor or TAs

[wrongkindofsith]

Cara scowled at the Doctor.

Scowl, Cara, scowl.

Oh, Helen had no problem telling people where to go. This part should be easy. The next? Dreadful.

Re: Second Fifteen

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Helen looked around for someone she could profess her 'love' to.

Claudia Donovan

Re: First Fifteen

[notmyownage]

Claudia, being in the left group, went for the indirect approach. She sat down scribbling vague love notes, balled them up, and pitched them indiscriminately at the right group.

Re: First Fifteen

Elphaba caught one of the notes and unballed it. She raised an eyebrow at Claudia. "This is typical behavior?" she asked.

Re: First Fifteen

[notmyownage]

Claudia winked at her. "For you, I got a little creative."

She had no idea which of her notes Elphaba had caught.

Unluckily for Cara, cold and unapproachable was one of Hank's turn-ons.

"Hey, baby," he told her. "Hot mama luvin'. Peachy keen jelly bean. Sugar sugar. Honey honey. How's it hangin'?"

Re: Second Fifteen

[i-am-the-rat.livejournal.com]

Hank crossed his arms, stuck his nose in the air, and pretended to ignore the other group.

Elphaba's eyebrow attempted to to go higher after the wink.

That was actually physically impossible.

"I hope you weren't trying to treat this entirely seriously," she said, diplomatically.

Re: First Fifteen

[notmyownage]

Claudia snorted and shook her head. "Love is more fun when it's . . . silly."

There. That answered her question without being totally out of character.

Re: First Fifteen

[didntchewgrass.livejournal.com]

Elphaba fought the smirk that was trying to appear on her face. "You've experienced love in many ways, then?"

Re: First Fifteen

[notmyownage]

No.

"Oh yes," Claudia said breathily. "I'm an experienced lover."

She almost managed to say that with a straight face.

Re: First Fifteen

[didntchewgrass.livejournal.com]

And with that, Elphaba couldn't help but smile. "Well then, I see how you wouldn't want to bother with me, then. Such experience would be lost on me. And I certainly couldn't reciprocate."

Re: First Fifteen

[notmyownage]

"Ah, but the only way to get that experience is to, uh. Try."

That made sense, right?

Re: First Fifteen

[didntchewgrass.livejournal.com]

"But surely your attentions would be better spent on other, more experienced girls," Elphaba said. "I'm only thinking of you here, I'm awfully flattered."

Hey, she could play along.

Re: First Fifteen

[wrongkindofsith]

"Another word and I will break your fingers." The Doctor didn't say she couldn't use threats.

Re: First Fifteen

[i-am-the-rat.livejournal.com]

"Awwwwwww, come ON," Hank whined. "Do you have any idea how much that hurts!?!?!" Hank did. There was a certain type of badguy that just loved breaking fingers to make a point.

Re: First Fifteen

[wrongkindofsith]

Cara grinned. It wasn't a particularly nice grin. "I do."

Re: First Fifteen

[notmyownage]

"Maybe I'm more interested in teaching."

Re: First Fifteen

[i-am-the-rat.livejournal.com]

"Awwww, but--" Hank sputtered. "But... awww, no fair! I was doing the assignment!!! You can't hurt me just for doing the assignment!"

Re: First Fifteen

[wrongkindofsith]

Well, no, she couldn't, since the Doctor was a killjoy like that. But that didn't mean she couldn't give the impression she would.

"My assignment is to get rid of you," she pointed out, quite reasonably.

Re: First Fifteen

[didntchewgrass.livejournal.com]

Elphaba just shook her head. "While I'm sure I'd have a lot to learn, I don't think I'm the right pupil for you."

Re: First Fifteen

[notmyownage]

"Oh, don't be so sure!" She was supposed to be insistent, after all. "Don't you find me attractive?"

Re: First Fifteen

[didntchewgrass.livejournal.com]

"I didn't say you weren't attractive," Elphaba said, honestly. "I mean, you do have pleasant features, and I find your hair very unique. But that is beside the point."

Re: First Fifteen

[notmyownage]

"I think we'd make a beautiful couple," Claudia said, lightly side-stepping the point. She checked the clock. Were fifteen minutes up, yet?

Re: First Fifteen

[didntchewgrass.livejournal.com]

"I... think it's the end of you having to try and woo me," Elphaba said. "You did put up quite a good effort, though."

Re: First Fifteen

[notmyownage]

"Oh, good." Claudia set her chin down on her arm on her desk. "Man, that's totally irritating for the woo-er, too."
