The Elements of Friendship, Thursday, Period 1

[locointhecoco]

Today's Danger Shop set up was of a ragged, rocky mountainside cave, near the top of an almost sheer drop hundreds and hundreds of feet down.

Best hope that Pinkie's not planning on collapsing that cliff on you, again.

Odds were in the students' favor, though, since today, Pinkie was right by the edge herself, looking ready for action with her saddle bags strapped firmly to her flank, and a pair of sunglasses perched on her nose.

"Hi everypony! Welcome back! Today, I want you all to meet a very special friend of mine --"

A tremendous snore came from deep within the cave, the exhaled breath sending billows of black smoke tumbling out at them and into the sky.

"-- a dragon! I call him Snuffles." Pinkie beamed at the class as another snore sounded, followed by a second puff of noxious smoke. "Snuffles here has a bad habit of taking naps right by populated areas." She nodded over her withers, down the mountainside towards a quaint little village in the distance, currently deep in the shadow of the dragon's harsh smoke clouds. "Full grown dragons can nap for ages and ages and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages, which is no good for the poor ponies trying to make pretty weather down there in Ponyville. So your job today is to wake Snuffles up and convince him to go take his nap -- and his treasure -- somewhere else! You can try all sorts of things: reasoning with him, flattering him, telling him jokes, anything you like!" She looked meaningfully around the group of students. "And no, you're not allowed to try and kill him."

Squall.

Pinkie pranced her way up a little outcropping and settled in to keep an eye out.

"Oh! One more thing! Try not to let him eeeeeeat yooooooou!"

Watch out for falling cliffs, try not to choke on the smoke.

Who knew friendship could be so hazardous?

Chuck was subtly edging as far away from that cliff edge as possible.

He'd rather not repeat that scenario where he ended up clinging to Squall, thank you.

Go wake the dragon* [10/6]

[locointhecoco]

And try to convince him to leave. He's probably going to be grumpy, though.

In answer to that previous question: not Chuck. But this class was swiftly educating him otherwise. He was understandably hesitant to actually poke a sleeping dragon, especially after Pinkie's helpful reminder not to get eaten.

But talking, wasn't so bad, right? ... Right.

"Uh, hi?" You might get the impression from his volume he didn't actually want to be heard. "I know you're probably mid some really awesome dream about... roasting villagers or something. You wouldn't want to move, would you?"

The dragon's snore was interrupted by a brief snuffling, but he didn't seem to be waking up.

Might want to be a bit louder there, Chuck.

Miley clapped her hands loudly. "Hey! You! Goooood mooooorning! Time to rise and shine!"

Re: Go wake the dragon* [10/6]

[locointhecoco]

The dragon let out a disgruntled wail and opened his eyes to stare down at Miley.

He didn't pick up his head, mind you. He was just large enough that even with his head on the ground, he was staring down.

Daenerys' dragons were adorable and teeny. This was quite a different matter, and one that Rilla wasn't very comfortable with.

"AHEM," she said, clearing her throat.

Re: Go wake the dragon* [10/6]

[locointhecoco]

The dragon snored on, oblivious to the throat clearing.

"Mr. Dragon, hi!" Juliet said, trying to sound just as smooth and confident as she could manage. "It's mooorning!"

Re: Go wake the dragon* [10/6]

[locointhecoco]

The dragon grumbled under his breath and readjusted his position. He seemed to be trying to ignore Juliet.

Re: Go wake the dragon* [10/6]

"HEY!" Squall called, as he walked into the cave. "WAKE UP!"

The direct approach was usually the best. Or, at least, the easiest.

Re: Go wake the dragon* [10/6]

[locointhecoco]

The dragon woke up with a glare and a puff of smoke aimed right at Squall.

"Ahem," Spock said as he entered the dragon's cave.

Re: Go wake the dragon* [10/6]

[locointhecoco]

The dragon continued to snore.

Talk to Pinkie [10/6]

[locointhecoco]

She's not in a hot air balloon, this time!

Talk to the TAs [10/6]

[locointhecoco]

Who are probably wishing this was another fashion show.

Re: Talk to the TAs [10/6]

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

Miley wanted the sequins back. SO BADLY. WHERE WERE THE SEQUINS????

Re: Talk to the TAs [10/6]

[twintuitionist.livejournal.com]

Dragons were so not what Juliet thought she was signing up for. Hmmmph.

She was around, anyhow.

*raises hand* Can Ender be excused from class for being a bit banged up and also in the future?

Re: OOC [10/6]

[locointhecoco]

Well, I suppose, but he'd better have a better excuse next time. ;D
