"Right, so this weekend was probably a little awkward for some of you," Ben said, lounging against a table surrounded by all kinds of boxes, lumber, metal...and weirdly, clothing in various sizes. "So today I want you to make yourself an emergency kit for this sorts of weird weekends. Include clothing in various sizes, a note to yourself in case it's a weekend where everyone's lost their memories, an emergency phone--and instructions on how to use it--and any other supplies you might need."

He smiled. "I should warn you that while I've been here, I've been turned into a pony, fought carnivorous fish, and been small, a girl, really old, and an heir to a diamond mine, so there's a lot of ground to cover. After you've stocked your box and rigged it to your fingerprints--I'll handwavily show you how to do that part--prepare to give a small presentation about what you packed and why."

The dog is a girl. I swear.

Make your emergency box!

[momslilassassin]

Yes, Thorin, you can carve it and make it pretty. So can the rest of you, for that matter.

Ronan was very pleased that he was not a freaking girl anymore. And while the idea of some emergency supply kit sounded a little trite, he got to work on something anyway because there were one or two things he figured he store inside of it.

What did you put in your box?

[momslilassassin]

Tell the class!

Ben hoped you included snacks.

Re: What did you put in your box?

[thegreywaren.livejournal.com]

"Booze."

Was there supposed to be more?

"And my phone."

Helpful, Ronan.

"Is it booze you won't mind your seven year old self pouring down the drain?" Ben checked. "Or onto the phone?"

Re: What did you put in your box?

[thegreywaren.livejournal.com]

"I'll just buy more." So yeah, he wouldn't care. One downfall of having more money than he knew what to do with. "And wouldn't care if my phone died. Be doing me a favor."

Re: What did you put in your box?

[momslilassassin]

"Then why pack it?" Ben asked.

Re: What did you put in your box?

[thegreywaren.livejournal.com]

He shrugged. "I can put some music on it. I like music."

Re: What did you put in your box?

[momslilassassin]

"Good call," Ben said, nodding. "What kinds of stuff?"

Re: What did you put in your box?

[thegreywaren.livejournal.com]

"Loud." Not that that was very specific. "Rock, mostly. Anything with heavy drugs, guitars. That kind of thing."

Re: What did you put in your box?

[sciclone]

"Um ... I put in a letter from myself saying it's temporary and not to freak out, t-shirts and shorts in three different sizes, cheapie phone with 911 and a couple other emergency numbers pre-programmed, box of granola bars for quick energy, and some Advil in case whatever's happening hurts," Cosima recounted, and winced. "I haven't been through this yet. Do you think that covers everything?"

Re: What did you put in your box?

[momslilassassin]

"That should cover most things," Ben said, nodding. "Something heavy to use as a makeshift weapon, just in case?"

Talk to Ben or Barry!

[momslilassassin]

Ben's making his own box, just in case.

Re: Talk to Ben or Barry!

[notaweenie.livejournal.com]

Barry has his own box. It's one filled with alternate gender clothes, food, water and various bits of technology.

Including a solar battery the size of a wallet which can power Fandom if need be.

A week and a half until the packers come. I AM NOT READY.
