Anger Management and Emotional Control | Monday | Period 1
Class was meeting outside today - or, well, the Danger Shop's approximation of outside, which was a bit more overcast but, overall, not all that much worse out than the real thing.
"Sorry about this, guys, but one common method for overcoming anger is exercise," Bruce began, gesturing to the sweep of island all around them. "Serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps with mood regulation, is spiked by physical activity, whereas a decrease in serotonin is linked to depression, anger issues, and irritability. So we're going to work on anger management through exercise today."
He cleared his throat. "I made this simulation pretty comprehensive, so you have the whole island to run around. If you want, I have some heart rate monitors that you can grab so you can see how hard you're working. Otherwise, just go out there and get your heart rates up."
There was one small caviat, though. So far, Bruce had given them the means to reduce anger, but nothing to make them angry in the first place.
That changed when he hit a button on the Danger Shop remote, and suddenly it was raining buckets.
"Sorry!" he called again over a clap of thunder, jogging over to a shaded area beneath a business's awning. He was actually, bizarrely, smiling. "Have fun!"

Another glare towards the teacher, and then she took off, boots striking the ground almost silently as she darted away.
Re: Listen to Bruce
But then it started to rain.
Oh, now this was a different story! Exercise by itself was awesome. Exercise in the rain? Totally bunk! As the raindrops fell, he could feel his moop rising, but, of course, this being anger management class, he had to keep it in check, didn't he?
Well played, Banner. Well played.
Re: Exercise!
Plus, Danny was sixteen. And there were girls in this class. So...
Rainy work-out. Totally successful moop management tool after all.
