Attitude: Just Deal With It - Tuesday, Period 2
"Yo, Rookies!"
It was possible that Reno was laying it on a little thickly this week, to make up for an overabundance of manners and cute fuzziness over the weekend. His usual sharp grin was extra sharp today, and there was an unmistakable hint of trouble in his eyes. The fact that they were gathered in the Danger Shop today probably wasn't too reassuring, was it?
"Today, we're gonna talk about a little thing that most people like to call 'hobbies,' and I like to call, 'not bein' a pussy,' yo." He shoved his hands into his pockets and gave a grin at the group. "Sure, there are plenty of things that any of you can do to pass the time. Hell, any of what we covered earlier might even be part of it; gossip, shoppin' for nice things, givin' people a hard time. But there's more to life than any of that, an' if you wanna really impress people, havin' a hobby that's worth bein' impressed about can help with that, yo. Added bonus? It's good for provin' you can suck it up in the face of somethin' intimidatin'."
He pressed a button, and the Danger Shop shifted into a wide open area with several activity stations set up. Admittedly, this stuff probably wasn't really a valuable life skill for most people, but Reno wanted an excuse to do most of these things himself today, just for kicks, so people were going to have a hard time wiggling out of them.
"So, today, we're gonna take advantage of the Danger Shop to give a few of 'em a try, yo. You can pick one activity, or see how many you can get through before class ends, yo. Have fun with that!"
[Open!]

so so lateListen to the Lecture!
Re: Listen to the Lecture!
He was grateful that he'd taken a few painkillers earlier because maybe he'd be able to get through this class without passing out now.
Re: Listen to the Lecture!
Okay, so he had been slacking lately.
Activity 1 - Kayaking
Re: Activity 1 - Kayaking
But kayaking? He could hope and pray that he didn't get smashed against rocks. That was something like actually doing something.
Activity 2 - Skydiving!
Re: Activity 2 - Skydiving!
[Totally up for anyone either talking Marshall out of the chopper... or pushing him out. :D ]
Re: Activity 2 - Skydiving!
Chloe got suited up in a wingsuit and headed up in the chopper. She didn't have to be pushed out of the chopper because heaven forbid she acted scared of this in front of Reno.
She might have closed her eyes when she first jumped, though.
Re: Activity 2 - Skydiving!
And possibly a second and third jump before class was over.
Activity 3 - Rock Climbing!
... Unless you're Reno, who can pretty much run straight up the side of it without breaking a sweat. Because Square-Enix doesn't believe in physics.
Re: Activity 3 - Rock Climbing!
That most of his 'physical fitness' exercise had, until arriving in Fandom, occured in the form of street boxing was beside the point. Except for how it meant he had a decent amount of upper-body strength, which was useful for two of the three more challenging activities. After some deliberation, he chose the rock-climbing over kayaking, working his way up the wall steadily.
Activity 4 - Fluffy Bunny Wrangling!
This one might not be as extreme as the other three activites, no.
Re: Activity 4 - Fluffy Bunny Wrangling!
So, Nathan was going to wrangle bunnies. Bunnies were cute and they wouldn't try to break his face. He hoped not, at least.
Talk to the TAs!
Re: Talk to the TAs!
Perfectly happy to watch everyone else, though, and offer completely uninformed advice if anyone should ask for it.
Re: Talk to the TAs!
Kicked back in a chair, Dru was there to help anyone that needed it.
Talk to Reno!
OOC!
In other news, I'm not going to be home for most of the day, between class, and a sanity run to the movies to see Kung-Fu Panda 2 with a friend from school. Ping Reno if you need him, and I'll reply in SP when I get home.
