Throwing Things: Lessons in Athletics and War From a Distance

[thisguyright.livejournal.com]

"Hey guys," Fred said, not in costume today. Class was in the Danger Shop, and each student would find a wooden trunk at their feet. "Sorry I missed last week's first class of the semester. Something came up, which is no excuse. You're here to learn and you deserve my undivided attention, which I promise you'll get from here on out. Because I'm here for you." Either Fred was really laying it on thick, or he had absolutely been messed with.

"Welcome to Throwing Things. I'm your mentor, Fred Myers. But please, call me Fred. And since we didn't do it last week, we're going to start with introductions. Not just for yourself, though. Because today we're going to learn how to throw your voice. That's right. You're going to learn to use puppets!" Specifically ventriloquist dummies "Open up the trunks next to you, meet your new best friend, listen to me explain how to throw your voice, and then you'll introduce yourself and your friend! Doesn't that sound like the best thing?"

Listen to the Lecture

Where Fred is weirdly nice and attentive, you have freaking ventriloquist dummies, and I handwave instruction on how to throw your voice while working a dummy.

Please note that ventriloquism is not one of Fred's skills. It's a HORRIBLE but completely earnest demonstration. And his dummy is named 'Herman'

Introductions

[thisguyright.livejournal.com]

Your name and class as well as your new best friend's name and what you like to do together.

Fred and Herman like to fish, especially since Herman floats! Hahahaha.

Isabela? Still a pony, so it was less holding up the creepy puppet and more 'accidentally' stepping on it. Oops.

Rey was trying to hold the dummy as far away from her as possible.

"I don't like it."

Talk to Fred

This was actually one of my ideas in my proposal and, I'll be honest, I had no idea how I was going to work it in. This BDE and my missing class last week due to obsessing over the bad things in the world and just plain forgetting after hours of news coverage led me to this point.
