"This week you get to turn in your scavenger hunt items!" [OOC: Links below]

***

After the scavenger hunt:

Ted seems a little stoned, but he actually hasn't been into anything. He simply hasn't slept and is running on caffeine, sugar and adrenaline alone. What else is new? He's not as lucid as usual. Considering he's not normally very lucid, this may make him unintelligible at times.

"This week we're gonna learn about a most excellent band called 'Spinal Tap'. They're most famous not for their most excellent music, and it is most excellent, but for the fact that their ampliphiers go all the way to 11, so their music is louder. Louder doesn't always mean better, but in the case of Spinal Tap it does. When it comes to heavy metal music, louder is better.

This week's discussion will lead to next week's discussion.. unless I forget by then."

Ted plays some Spinal Tap as an example.

"So today we're gonna discuss how music makes you feel. For me, loud music, the kind of music that, like, makes my ears bleed and the side of my face go numb makes me feel alive.. once I regain consciousness I mean."

This week's discussion question: "How does heavy metal make you feel? What kind of music makes you feel alive?"

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

John starts the discussion. "Heavy metal music makes me feel...scattered. There's so much happening, so much going on that I can never keep up and just end up bopping my head along to the music and trying not to head bang. I'm more of a straight rock n' roll fan. Aerosmith, Queen, KISS, you know, the classics. That's my 'roll down the windows, turn the volume up, and let the wind ruffle my hair' music."

Ed is here, and doesn't want to get a B again :S

Okay, i found:

3. Solo! (http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=12parseckessel)
6. dundundun...message in a bottle, haven't found one yet.
7. alanis morisette (sp?), didn't found her on campus either
9. shoes??

Ed hopes his team has found more then him

"Heavy metal makes me feel...bouncy? Like Rover, in a way. And really in touch with my scissors. The music of Cher makes me feel alive. Really. No, really!"

Wow. ~~You~~ We did good!

((OOC: The rest of the team being Lily. Who has been pretty busy with NWS things with Draco. Ted, if you fail Edward, he will cry.

~~Hey, I gotta help out my not from Earth friends!~~

Yeah, we did good!

"Yah ~~Crichton~~ us!"

Xander turns in

2: A jar of salsa from the Emporium.

He points to the plastic terrarium on his desk. "And this is Jeremiah. Who is not a bullfrog, but I hope he'll do for #4. " He keeps a hand protectively on the handle of the travel-tank. "I don't have to actually turn him in, do I? I kinda like the little guy."

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU SAID I CAN'T HEAR ANYMORE I THINK MY BRAIN IS DRIPPING OUT MY EARS!

Callisto removes the hands she clapped over her ears about 3.5 seconds into the first song. "I've been in battles that were less discordant!"

After checking her palms for blood, she continues. "As for what music makes me feel alive, ~~wardrums, always the wardrums~~ the kind of stuff I grew up with I suppose, fast tempo, interesting beat pattern, gaida, chanting, sort of stuff that just makes to want to get up and dance."

Barbossa turned in:

6: a slightly blurry photograph of his personal message in a bottle (http://www.thegiftexperience.co.uk/media/images/products/copy1_messageinabottle1%20hr.jpg) (message: "Barbossa, ye lyin' bastard. If ye ever come near this deserted isle, I be killin' ye fer sure! Love, Bootstrap")

7: a jagged little pill (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandom_clinic/35396.html?thread=1505348#t1505348) from the clinic.

9: a pair of dainty ladies dancing shoes from his own era. It's probably best not to ask exactly why he has those.

10: a less blurry photograph of a pina colada (and a Wookiee arm)

(http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomtownies/243695.html?view=9842671#t9842671)

"It be a little loud, which I like," Barbossa said, "and I do be likin' the powerful guitar riffs. I could do without most o' the torch songs, though." He scrunched up his face. "As fer what I like, I think a good sea shanty will always be my favorite. Useful fer keepin' time on a ship, and if yer lucky, about a naked wench."

"I quite like heavy metal, something to mosh to if you're feeling a bit stressed or whatever. I really like synth-pop personally, bands like Depeche Mode and Goldfrapp, they're good to dance to but have meaning full lyrics generally

"It's alright. I'm more of a Bob Marley kind of person. I guess I like the single guitar riffs and not this jumble of drums, guitar and just all around headache-yness."

I found some of these items.

4. I know this one is a frog, but I could not find one.
6. Message in a bottle. I took a water bottle and put a note inside it.
7. Jagged Little Pill, from my own music collection.
8. Here is a can of cranberries I bought myself just for this assignment.
9. Shoes. *looks down at her shoes* Will these do?

I don't like heavy metal very much. It's too loud. I enjoy pop rock like U2.
