Competitive Teambuilding, Tuesday, period 1
Class met up in the Danger Shop again, this time programmed to look like a lava-filled crater. Tall, narrow rocks stuck up out of the lava at regular intervals, and raised, flat platforms of rock lined either side of the crater, where the students and teachers could stand without risking lava-doom.
There were also three little garden gnomes with three different colored hats running around, three sacks of grain, and three rather suspicious looking goats.
And the three teachers, of course. At least one of which looked like he wanted to deny all knowledge of today's challenge.
"Hey kids," Eliot said, apparently stuck in permanent face-palm. "Today's your first week with a graded challenge."
"An' so Eliot's come up with a great challenge for you," Hardison continued, looking totally stoked about class. "Remember, givin' credit where it's due is an important part of teamwork."
It had been your idea, Eliot.
It really had! “We embellished, but Eliot came up with this obstacle course! And not letting yourself or your teammates fall in.” She turned to say something to one of the gnomes. It said something in Swedish back to her. “Oh, totally.”
"My idea involved stumps and two-by-fours," Eliot said. He pointed to Hardison: "Lava." Then at Parker: "Garden gnomes, oats, gnome-eating goats. And the sharks."
A fin wove its way between the rocks in the lava pit. Had you noticed the sharks yet, kids?
Look, they'd wanted it to be a fun and exciting first challenge! A couple of two-by-fours weren't going to do that. "So, not only do y'all have to make it across the lava without fallin' in or gettin' eaten by lava-sharks, you're gonna have to do it a couple of times. Cause you gotta ferry over the goat, the oats, an' the gnomes, but you also in the right order. You leave the gnome alone with the oats, he's gonna eat 'em. You leave the goat alone with the gnome, an' the goat's gonna eat--" Hardison checked his notes. "Am I readin' this right?"
Parker checked. “Yup. Those goats are mean. And gnomes are good fiber, but we shouldn’t let that happen.” She gave the students a stern look. “I’m going to be very disappointed if you sacrifice a gnome. Or a goat. But mostly a gnome.”
"Fiber?" Eliot was back to facepalming again. "Anyway. You have three two-by-fours. You can use them to bridge the gaps. Be creative." He sighed. "Try not to die."

Though, okay, the gnome-eating goats were weird.

In the meantime, she was taking photos of your efforts.

Don't ask me why, but I find this video totally delightful.
