Shop Class: [2/27] - Danger Shop Craziness

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

As the students enter the shop room, Mac greets them with a smile.

After everyone arrives and signs-in, Mac makes some adjustments to the remote control and the room turns into a metal scrapyard.

"Hey everyone. Welcome to Shop Class. Today we'll be doing another one of our Junkyard creativity excercises..."

*SLAM* *CLUNK*

Mac looks over at the doors to the shop class which have closed and locked on their own. "Hal? Could you open please?"

"I'm sorry Mac," said a monotone voice. "I'm afraid I can't do that. Apparently someone is very upset at you."

Five robots shimmer into existence around the group of students.

"Okay. This is not good," Mac muttered to himself. "Kids! Run for it! Get into the supply room! There's no holoprojectors there!"

Just let me hold you while you're falling apart
Just let me hold you so we both fall down

And the final two lyrics are enough for the robots to burst into flame.

Other robots begin to move in to take their place.

Xander watches in shock that is a combination of pleased and horrified.

"I... don't know if it's worth risking finding another channel playing that song, or not," he says to John. "There's one about killer bees that might work, but it's kind of country, so it might make them start line-dancing, and I'm not sure any of us want that."

"At least it seems to be working," John points out. "They're exploding due to the horrific nature of that song. We could...make a break for Nadia? And hope they don't start doing the Electric Slide?"

Re: John and Xander vs Robots

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander looks at him in horror. "Don't give them IDEAS!" But the rest of that sounds like a good plan, so he nods.

"Hey Pippi!' he shouts. "Where's Nadia - is she near you?" Because they kind of need a direction to make a break in.

Pippi grunts as she tries to wrench an arm of a particularly advanced looking robot. (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/676188.html?thread=32341340#t32341340)

"Okay," she yells back, "If the direction of my voice is 12 o'clock... Nadia would be at like 9 or 10!"

Re: John and Xander vs Robots

[soldtoarmenians]

"Yay, math," Xander says, though he actually knows those kind of directions fairly instinctively thanks to the military memory thing. He gets them pointed inthe right direction and looks at John "Ready?"

Re: John and Xander vs Robots

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Yep." John wipes the sweat off his forehead. "Ready as I'll ever be. After this? Alcohol."

Re: John and Xander vs Robots

[soldtoarmenians]

"Dude, after this? I might even risk Bridge's liquid black evil from space." Xander holds out his arm - after all, it seems to have worked so far.

Re: John and Xander vs Robots

"I'll be right there with you," John says, moving to link his arm with Xander's. "Maybe after a clinic visit and some good painkillers. I'm ready."

Re: John and Xander vs Robots

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander would go for the "Yippee-kai-yay-motherfrakker" approach, but they're supposed to be making a break for it, not calling attention to themselves, so he gives John a nod and counts 1, 2, 3 with his free (and burninated, ow) hand, before breaking into a run.

Re: John and Xander vs Robots

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John's right with him, running blindly and hoping that they can find Nadia in this mess.

Re: John and Xander vs Robots

[fh-dangershop.livejournal.com]

As Xander and John round the corner, they'll find Nadia lying on the ground unconcious.

A robot appears to be hovering over her.

Re: John and Xander vs Robots

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Uh oh." John stops and stares at the robot. "Hey...robot dude. Maybe you could let us have Nadia? For the good of robot/human relations?"

Re: John and Xander vs Robots

John looks up, meets Sydney's eyes and nods slightly. He doesn't wan to give away Sydney's position but he wants her to know he sees her.

"Mr. Robot Guy? C'mon, I'm gonna take Nadia now and we can be friends or something..."

John kneels down to check on Nadia.

Re: John and Xander vs Robots

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander spots the gun on the ground by Nadia's side, but doesn't try doing anything with that knowledge just yet - they've already got one on their side now, and it's aimed at the robot. Besides, if he's gonna be stupid and dive in front of a pissed-off toaster for something, it's gonna be his little sib, not a weapon that might or might not even help.

Re: John and Xander vs Robots

Nadia let out a very soft groan and twitched slightly.

Re: John and Xander vs Robots

[fh-dangershop.livejournal.com]

The robot suddenly raised his fist and let loose with a deadly punch aimed at John's head.

Re: John and Xander vs Robots

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Shoot him!" John shouts, covering his head with his arm.

Re: John and Xander vs Robots

[fh-dangershop.livejournal.com]

The robot jolts with each bullet and then turns to face Syd, approaching her slowly.

Re: John and Xander vs Robots

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John takes this opportunity to pull Nadia away from the robot and back towards Xander. "You got the other gun, Xander?"

Re: John and Xander vs Robots

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander didn't then, but he does now. "On it."
