Shop Class: [2/13]

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

As the students enter into the Danger Room they may see a tired MacGyver arguing with some sort of computer console.

Also? The Danger Room looks like a forest with a nearby stream.

"I hope you got your survival kits together. Not just because they are due today, but also because we'll be using them.

Your assignment today is to provide yourself with two of the basic necessities while in the wilderness:

A. Fire
B. Food
C. Shelter
D. Water

Use elements of your survival kits with the environment around you to make this happy. If you get water from the stream, it needs to be boiled first."

Extra credit will be given for all four.

Ivanova limped into the shop, leaning heavily on her cane. Now this was an assignment she could do. She reviewed the contents of her survival kit, and figured on how to complete three of the four tasks.

Then she glanced down at her arm. Make that two of the four. Shelter construction would have to wait until she could actually use her right arm. So she began with a fire, stomping out a wee fire pit and surrounding it with rocks before scavenging for leaf litter and dry twigs. Her teepee stayed up through extreme effort, but four matches later she was growling in frustration.

So Ivanova did something that was probably pretty stupid. She couldn't make a little boom, but add some hairspray and there was a pretty little big boom. She grinned in triumph, then stood back to admire her handiwork and rest for a moment, leaning on her cane.

[[Growl. LJ ate my comment and I didn't realise so this is the short version, without the MacGyverian voiceover.]]

Food would be just as simple. Many summers spent with her country uncles meant that if this holographic forest produced a holographic boar, everyone would be eating pork. Er, if her arm were healed, that was. So, instead she rigged up two rabbit snares and limped off to see if this holographic forest had game trails. It did. She set her traps, but as a precautionary measure against not catching any rabbits she fashioned a fishing line out of a stick, some thread from her sewing kit, a paper clip for the hook (sharped to stabby pointedness), and the shiny reflective wrapper from her gum.
