Shop Class #8: Pumpkin Madness

As the students enter into the Danger ~~Room~~ Shop, they find that it has been transformed into a large field. On one side of a field is a barn with a large bullseye painted on it. On the other side of the field a series of markers, much like you would see at a golf driving range.

Everyone's flinger is setup where they left it and a large pile of pumpkins sits next to each one.

Mac tosses a pumpkin in the air with a grin.

"Okay kids... Let's have some fun."

((OOC: Read the following posts for what to do.))

Anders puts the pumpkin into the launching bucket and heads over to start cranking up the winch, since this is of course his greatest contribution to the project besides tightening all the lugnuts. The physical exertion is clearly making him happy, since his smile gets wider as the winch pulls back the cable. Once it's cranked back as far as he thinks it can safely go, he stands with his hand over the release pin, looking at Cally for a cue.

Good job, champ.

*sticks her fingers in her ears, just because*

Fire in the hole!

Okay, that is easily the cutest thing I've seen today.

*grins, and yanks the pin, and watches the pumpkin go flying*

~~ZOMG! YOU TWO ARE SO CUUUUUUUUTE!!!!11!1!~~

The pumpkin flies over 275 feet before making a resounding splat.

"Nice job guys!"

*Once all the pumpkins have been fired and the prof has graded everyone's machines, Shep starts to help with clean up. He's so helpful that way.*

*With a finger up to his lips to silence anyone who sees him sneaking up behind Cally, he grabs the back of her shirt and drops a handful of pumpkin guts down her shirt.*

Oh, GROSS!

*shudders, and tries to get the goop out of the back of her shirt, and smacks Shep on the arm*

You sick... You are so gonna fail this class now. S'not smart, pickin' on a new T.A. *continues trying to get the pumpkin guts off her back*

TA???!! What the...

When did that happen?

*thinks on his feet* And you may want to check with Mr. Mac about that... he said (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/344750.html?thread=16473006#t16473006) we could use the teachers as target practice. I just figured hitting someone with a whole pumpkin would, you know, hurt. So I used carefully selected bits of one.

[ooc:is so in love with the fact that you have an icon for *this*!]

I don't think I'm in charge of the grading, actually.

*scoops a bit of pumpkin guts off her back and flings it at Shep*

But... GROSS! EW!

[ooc: I have an icon for everything]

*carefully wipes pumpkin goo out of his eyes*

Okay, it's on now!

*scoops up more goo and throws it at Cally, standing there dancing and mocking and egging her on.*

*dodges*

Cease fire! Cease fire! *ducks behind Anders*

[ooc: Mun is sick. Mun is going to go lie down now. Mun might be back later.]

HEY!!!

*scoops up two handfuls of pumpkin guts, charges Shep, and rubs them into his hair*

*laughs and shakes pumpkin guts from his hair like a dog who's just fallen in a lake*

Okay, you're mine!

*Tackles Anders into the pile of pumpkin goo*

*is tackled into the pile, yelping*

Ahhhhhhhh -- no frakkin' fair, man!

*grabs a couple more handfuls and flings them vaguely in the direction of Shep's face*

*Wipes face again. Despite slippery hands, Shep manages to grab Anders and drop some goo over the top of his head in large messy glops*

What's fair got to do with it? I mean, seriously, how often do you get to have a pumpkin guts fight?

Not often. *flicks a handful of pumpkin goo at Shep again, grinning* 's fun, I'll admit that. But no sneakin' up on my girl and dumping stuff down her shirt, got it?

*shakes his head like a puppy, flinging seeds and goop everywhere*

[OOC: Ah, thank you for an even better explanation of why he had pumpkin in his hair during study hall. *g*]

Hey, dude, I do have a highly advanced sense of self-preservation. I dumped it down the back of her shirt.

*puts up hands to ward off flying pumpkin debris*

Like this! *dumps goop down Anders back and tries to get up and scramble away, but slips in pumpkin puke.*

[ooc: NP, didn't know you needed one. :)]

Alright boys... That's enough. *polishes the non-existant TA badge on her shirt* Now you can clean up the mess you've made, got it? I don't wanna be late to my next class, and this is gonna take enough time as it is, got it?

*slumps exaggeratedly in shame* Yes, coach.

*starts cleaning up, but is not above flicking occasional pumpkin seeds at the back of Shep's head every now and then*

*raises one eyebrow at Anders*

I think she'd look good in orange, don't you?

She looks great in orange. ~~And even better out of it.~~ But leave her alone, man.

*flicks another seed at Shep's nose*

*Gives in*

Fine. *Smears Anders with some of the stringy stuff.*

~~*is, OMG, smeared*~~

Hey, thanks. Always wanted to go around all day smelling like pumpkin. Got any cinnamon and stuff to go with it, so at least it's pumpkin pie?

This'll go over great in AbPsych later.

Something tells me walking in looking like you lost a fight with "The Great Pumpkin" and a dozen of his little cousins won't hold a candle to some of the freaks in that class.

And cinnamon has very, very few acceptable uses. This is not one of them.

Hrm. That's true, I guess. Who knows? Could help my grade.

*flicks another seed at Shep, halfheartedly*

The good news is I can shower before Speech. Facing Ms. Cregg like that would be amusing if she was still drunk... but I think she's over that.

*begins drawing smiley faces in the goop on the floor.*
