fandomhigh | How To Not Do Things, Thursday, Period One

Today, class was meeting on the beach, and had been handwavily instructed to come dressed appropriately. This change in venue might or might not be a good thing, depending on whether you felt sixty-five-degree weather was appropriate for beach-going. Also, whether you liked rocks and such getting in the way of your lounging. All things considered, it was not the perfect beach.

"Yeah, so, I thought about making a better beach in the Danger Shop, but I didn't want to," April announced. "So we're using this. I know it blows." Wow, don't hold back, April. "Your goal is to appreciate it and do beach stuff anyway. See, look, there's towels." Sure enough, there were indeed towels, which April had very thoughtfully laid out for people to lounge on. "And they're mine, so don't fuck them up or lose them, 'cause I want them back."

No pressure, kids.

"Anyway, just... tan or swim if you're freakishly cold-blooded or get food from the boardwalk or play volleyball or something. Or talk to each other. Just be lazy. Do something like that."

Sound easy? Well. Good luck, kids.

No, seriously, that sounds pretty easy, right? Except for the part where it's freezing...

Subthreads to follow!

Ready... set... be lazy!

Oh, gosh, had April forgotten to use her headphones for that loud music, and opted to use a really powerful iPod speaker instead? WHAT A SHAME.

(Feel free to react amongst yourselves or complain!)

"You're gonna have to do better than that," Richie said. "I can still sleep through this."

Well, the music was off. That was good.

...But now there were gremlins ambling around the beach, looking for people to torment. Oh dear.

"Better," Richie mumbled grudgingly as he kicked at an overly curious gremlin nosing around his feet.

April didn't even plan this one, but yeah, there they were. ~~NPC~~ children. Playing jump-rope. In the sand.

And once the kids left, there was a few minutes' break before the next and final obstacle for the students to deal with: some nerd April had paid off shooting people with a water gun from a nearby balcony.

It was possible that this might be some people's last straw.

"Seriously?" Richie said, glaring up at the kid with the water gun. "Quit it!"

Glaring, for some reason, didn't work. Richie was thinking about chucking a rock in the guy's general direction. That might work, right?

Who would freely admit to only having planned about half of that.

Should she be present this week.

Bleh.
