Everyday Skills, Friday 2nd Period

Oz's class was once again in the Danger Shop, and he looked mighty pleased with himself today. The Shop resembled a labspace, with opaque drapes covering the equipment on the benches. He also had a cannon by his desk that might have looked awfully familiar to Peter certain members of the class.

"One highly underrated skill that's even more vital in today's age of ubiquitous advertising is the ability to balance an open mind with a healthy degree of skepticism. Not believing everything you're told, but being willing to search for the kernel of truth that may or may not be there." Anyone who'd listened to radio over the weekend could probably guess where this was heading. "And the best was to uncover this truth is through experimentation, repeated experimentation. With partners, so get ready to find one."

He pressed a remote control, and the drapes vanished to reveal bags and cans of glitter in every size and colour that could fit on the benches, some of which were marked 'edible'. "Your job today will be to apply glitter to your classmates, working your way through the supplies, and see what happens. For science." For something all right.

"Of course, every experiment needs a control group, which in this case is myself and Peter here. We'll be supervising." This reprieve wasn't just Oz being kind, it was also that certain activities weren't as much fun when you already knew what would happen. He patted the MythGlitzerGun. "Anyone who tries invalidate the experiment by contaminating the control to gets to make friends with Betsy here."

Someone obviously feels no regret about his weekend.

As soon as Oz started in on not believing everything you're told, Britta had to snort with skepticism. "Shyeah, right, and who do you think told him to say that?" she murmured under her breath.

Partner up! - ES [03]

And goggle up! Safety first.

There are probably some labcoats hiding around the place if you're worried about your clothes.

Juliet claimed some goggles and a lab coat but hung back. She was hoping somebody who wanted to spend their day all glittery would partner with her so she wouldn't have to get sprayed.

"You don't happen to really like glitter, do you?" It was worth checking. Chuck didn't particularly want to get covered in the stuff, but... he'd probably do it out of some sense of chivalry. If that existed in this situation.

"On things," Juliet said promptly. "Really not on my skin. Or clothes that aren't supposed to be glittery. That stuff never washes off."

"I think we're all doomed just by entering this classroom," Chuck remarked. "A bit like we're doomed the moment we go to a school dance."

Except worse.

...right. If they were going to be glittering each other today, Rebecca wanted a boy partner, dammit.

So she'd just be here, feeling fairly pleased with her choice of skirt and V-neck sweater today as she scoped out partner options.

Sorry, Rebecca. It looked like you were getting Britta Perry instead, since Rebecca was pretty much the first person she saw when she started looking around trying to see if this made sense to anyone else.

The goggles were decidedly resting on her head like a headband, in defiance.

"So, what exactly are we supposed to be learning by smearing glitter over each other? Did I miss something?"

Re: Partner up! - ES [03]

[identity profile] zetabetabrat.livejournal.com 2012-01-20 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Sigh. She would just have to make do, she supposed.

"No idea," Rebecca admitted. "General changes in behavior?"

"From....glitter," said Britta, eying a tub of glitter paste and feeling like, yeah, she definitely, definitely missed something. "What, like, are we just going to start raving right here in class? Have an undeniable desire to make posters? Become blinded by the glitter reflected off the lights? I don't get it. Besides, there's probably, like, toxins or something in this stuff."

She set the tub down in front of her. "Nope. Not feeling particularly artsy or crafty, but maybe if we get a DJ or some E in here, I might be able to find a reason for this."

"Nuh-uh," Hank said, crossing his arms. "The Hankenator doesn't do 'science'."

Re: Partner up! - ES [03]

"It's not really science," Richie pointed out. "It's glitter. And Hankenator? Really?"

"Maybe science isn't allowed to have glitter in the magic world YOU come from, but, my friend, I could tell you stories that would make your hair stand on end!"

Experiment! - ES [03]

[personal profile] thefearwasreal 2012-01-20 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
With glitter!

For science!

And your teacher's amusement!

He might also want to see if you can talk your partner out of glittering you while still glittering them. But beware the GLITTER NINJA*.


[Effects of glitter on your character are obviously up to you. Glitter is real or simulated, depending on if you want your character to have to deal with glitter the rest of the day or not.

*GLITTER NINJA completely moddable.]

Talk to Oz or the TA - ES [03]

One of whom is talking to his glitter cannon, the other of whom may be having flashbacks to the weekend.

Well, Peter had had a damned awful week after the weekend, and he'd spent most of the past two days in his room watching the news come in, checking sources and marking off more Battle School students missing on his map.

And, okay, so he knew Oz probably had his own reasons for this reprieve, but frankly, Peter needed a break. So he was going to interpret this as a present to himself.

He was, however, way too manly and in control of himself to do anything as silly as make happy doe eyes of admiration at Oz. Perish the thought. You saw nothing. It was the Glitter Ninja.

"Someone's in a good mood," Rebecca observed, hopping up onto the desk opposite Peter. "You mean you didn't want glitter in your hair?"

"It makes a terrible fashion statement, don't you think?" Peter asked, looking up to... offer her a smirk. Stylish, Peter.
