Teambuilding for Dummies [Thursday, 4th Period]
"Good afternoon. Nice to see you all got my instructions to met me at the main campfire," Oz said by way of introduction, tossing a small, off-white ball from one hand to the other. Those would be the instructions he'd left on the classroom door, which had led to the Danger Shop, then the library, then the gym, and then finally the campgrounds. Sure, he could have just sent an email, but where was the challenge in that? "Now if you could all form a circle around me. The faster the better."
He waited for the students to finish getting into a circle, pointedly looking at his watch several times. "Few things to get out of the way before we begin. First, this class is Teambuilding for Dummies, and I'm assuming you're all meant to be here, if you're not, too bad. Next, you can call me Oz, or 'Boss' if you want something a little more formal. Finally, my office hours are Fridays, and I'm in the market for an assistant and all around gofer, so if anyone's interested come up to me and I'll think about it."
"Now, about the class itself. In addition to being your teacher, I own a company called Contra Security, as the name might imply we do security and we do it well. The main reason for that, teamwork. Every member of my team knows their job, and knows how to work together to do the job. We'll be using some of the same techniques here that I use to promote teambuilding with my employees." Sadly, none of Oz's employees were nearby to explain how this wasn't such a good thing.
"You are my new team, and by the end of the summer I will make sure that you are well oiled a machine as my old one." Again, sadly none of said team were around to tell the students that was as much a threat as a promise.
"The first step towards that goal is getting to know each other. So you're going to tell the class your name, your age, something interesting about yourselves, and what skills you think you can bring to our team, if anyone says something that piques your interest, or you share a hobby, or anything like that, feel free to ask each other for more information. But, so we don't end up speaking over each other, we've got this." He held up the ball. "See this ball? The only time anyone not me is allowed to speak is when they've got the ball, which means that you're going to have to toss it to each other, try not to let it touch the ground too much, and that whoever has the ball has to keep an eye out for anyone who looks like they want to say something. I'm expecting everyone to catch and throw the ball at least once today."
Oz tossed the ball towards a random student. "And for those of you who aren't particularly coordinated, don't worry about fumbling the ball, C-4 is generally considered one of the most stable plastic explosives."
[OCD is up!]

Re: Introductions - TfD [07/07]
"Well, yeah. He mostly wanted to talk to my dad." SIGH. So, Tony wandered off and made some poor German group cry by pointing out flaw in their math.
As one does.
