Detention

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

((A notice was sent to all students receiving detention today to wear light summer clothing and sturdy hiking shoes.))

Detention Roster:

As the students enter the Danger Room Shop they see that it has been transformed into a ranch like area somewhere near the rugged moutain wilderness in the Sangre de Cristo range of the Rockies. The temperature is quite warm and it appears to be summer.

For each student there is a 30 pound backpack sitting on the ground as well as several canteens of water waiting for them.

Mac looks up from his pack and gives the kids a grin.

"Welcome to detention kids. Today we're going to be taking a little nature walk, with some stops along the way to find out a little bit more about ourselves. Everyone is required to particpate in all excercises. If you do not participate... Well then you'll be getting two more detentions."

Mac points to a rock formation that juts out from one of the mountain ranges. "Our trip today will take us to the top of that landmark today. I hope you all are ready for a little excercise."

((Since Saturday is always a crazy day for people a simple *Participated* is acceptable.

If you wish to do more in the activities, you are welcome to do so.

You are, however not allowed to post anywhere else in FH today until detention is over (approximately 5:00PM Fandom Standard Time). ))

*DEATH walks in, covered in political buttons and wearing a sign proclaiming, "FREE DEATH! THE VICTIM OF FASHION TYRANNY!" since, after all, political prisoners need people to protest their freedom and, since his was a political organization of one, it seemed he would have to do all the work himself.

He picks up a backpack, and, after wrapping it stylishly in duct tape, slings it over his shoulder. A rubber duck quacks softly from somewhere under the buttons.*



*DEATH hands Mac a button that reads, "Defending Undead Choices!"*

First Excercise

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

After walking for an hour Mac calls for a break and makes sure everyone who needs to drink water is doing so.

"All right kids. We're going to be doing several excercises as we go along today. The first excercise is going to be called 'Wind in the Willow'."

Mac goes on to the activity (http://www.wilderdom.com/games/descriptions/WillowInTheWind.html) and demonstrates for everybody how it works.

6 volunteers to be buffeted about. It's not like it isn't an omgemo representation of his own life anyway.

Evelyn really isn't too sure about this, but participates.

Exercise Two: Trust Fall

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

After another hour of walking, Mac calls for another break. In front of the group is a waist high rock.

"All right folks, our next excercise is called the 'Trust Fall'."

"Each one of us is going to stand on this rock and fall back into everyone else's arms where we will catch them"

"Anybody who wants to get cute and drop someone will be getting additional punishment. Understood?"

Re: Exercise Two: Trust Fall

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

Number 6 continually fails to fall properly, always freaking out and dodging to one side at the last minute. He simply cannot bring himself to trust anyone else there.

Re: Exercise Two: Trust Fall

[death-n-binky.livejournal.com]

*DEATH falls backwards per instructions. However, he falls through the person trying to catch him, clattering bonily on the ground.*

Re: Exercise Two: Trust Fall

[egyptianlove.livejournal.com]

Evelyn falls and is caught.

Exercise Three: Running Free

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

After another hour of hiking up a steadily increasing incline, Mac calls for another break and pulls out several bandannas.

"Our next exercise is called 'Running Free'. You'll need a partner for this exercise," Mac says as he describes the activity (http://www.wilderdom.com/games/descriptions/RunningFree.html).

"Let's get moving!"

Re: Exercise Three: Running Free

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

6 grumbles. He's about to be lead off a cliff he just knows it. "Partner anyone?"

Re: Exercise Three: Running Free

[egyptianlove.livejournal.com]

Evelyn has no partner, so looks at the teacher to see what to do.

Exercise Four: Mine Field

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

The incline of the mountain is getting steeper and steeper. As they group comes across a relatively flat clearing, Mac calls for another Exercise/Break.

Mac takes out several tennis balls and the blindfolds again.

"This exercise is called Mine field. We'll need everyone to pair up again," Mac says handing out the blindfolds and describing the activity. (http://www.wilderdom.com/games/descriptions/Minefield.html)

Mac waits until the appropriate partners are blindfolded and spreads out the tennis balls. "Okay... let's start."

Re: Exercise Four: Mine Field

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

"I. Hate. Blindfolds," 6 mutters.

The Peak: Final Exercise

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

When the group gets to the top of the peak, it's getting dark out and everyone is tired and beat from the long climb. Except Mac. The little bugger must feed off this kind of thing.

Mac builds a campfire for everyone to sit around as the night air grow cooler and somehow fashions a guitar using natural elements around him, his swiss army knife and a large roll of duct tape.

"Now is the time for the musical portion of the program. *Everyone* is required to sing. No excuses. You don't sing? You'll be here next week. Understood?"

Everyone Sings: Kumbaya

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

((Here are the lyrics (http://www.lyricsfreak.com/p/peter,-paul-&-mary/107820.html). Everyone sing in character)

Trail Chatter: Chat here if you like.

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

Unlike some teachers... Mac doesn't mind if you talk during detention.
