The Island Hates You (Yes, You), Thursday Period 2

[wrongkindofsith]

Class was in the danger shop and lucky for everyone, Cara understood the controls. Because Magnus? Magnus botched quite a few skill checks there.

Oops.

"Hello, my name is Magnus Burnsides. Fighter. Sometimes rogue," he announced cheerfully before looking at his teachin' buddy.

"Cara," Cara said from her place next to a large covered box that was shaking and making hissing noises. Probably nothing to worry about there. "And the island hates you."

It was a class name and a statement of fact, handy!

Magnus honestly looked like he wan't to dispute that, but a glance at the hissing box stopped him. "Yeeeeeah. It kinda does. Sorry, kids. But. Buuuuut, we're here to teach you how to kick it's ass!"

Or to have fun watching them try. Look one of their teachers was earnest and the other was Cara, this was all going to end in tears at some point. Probably sooner rather than later. "Normally this is where introductions come in, but first an example." A pointed example. A pointed, toothy example.

Okay, it was a box of gremlins. Three guesses whose idea this had been.

Sorry, kids.

Magnus was already hauling his shield forward and--why yes, yes there was a tiny little gremlin on it to show he had fought these little motherfuckers before. Possibly in the battle to get them into the box. He was soooo lucky he had a high AC. "Let's do this."

With the kind of cheerful security that came with only being successfully bit when you weren't wearing head to toe leathers and gloves, Cara tipped the box over towards the class, releasing the gremlins.

Or just sign in, if you're boring.

Listen to Cara and Magnus! - TIHY [01]

[wrongkindofsith]

One of whom is disturbingly cheerful. The other's just cheerful.

Ahsoka had a bad feeling about this.

Fight Gremlins! - TIHY [01]

[wrongkindofsith]

Cara maaaaaaaaay have forgot to mention they were, in fact, actual gremlins. She's a big believer in learning from experience. Painful, painful experience.

Re: Fight Gremlins! - TIHY [01]

It was almost like the gremlins could tell Ahsoka was one of the closest things to a Skywalker in the room and swarmed her accordingly. One particularly enterprising gremlin sunk its teeth into her rear lek as she was holding off the others.

"Are you kidding me!" Aloy growled, already on the move to get out of the critters' way.

Where was some tall grass when you needed it?!

Re: Fight Gremlins! - TIHY [01]

[misshapen_spark]

"Aw yeah." Yang flicked her wrists and her bracelets started clicking and sliding into place, forming her gauntlets. "This is what I came here for."

Not okay, NOT OKAY. Mara gave the fight her best shot before one of the little buggers finally got her in the thigh.

Khadgar let out a very undignified yelp and then there were a lot of frozen gremlins near him. Maybe they'd thaw out, maybe they wouldn't, no loss either way.

Introductions! - TIHY [01]

[wrongkindofsith]

You can't have introduction week without introductions, they'll just be more interesting now.

"Battle droid B1-138, reporting for duty!" It was a great day for the Separatist Droid Army! "Roger, roger!"

Re: Introductions! - TIHY [01]

[magnusrushesin]

"B1-138, B1-138... I'm not finding that name on the roster," Magnus replied, so willing to play along. Because he was from a 'yes, and?' canon.

Re: Introductions! - TIHY [01]

[not_of_the_nora]

"I'm Aloy, and I didn't sign up to have green monsters thrown at me," Aloy growled.

Re: Introductions! - TIHY [01]

[misshapen_spark]

Was Yang making nasty, nasty comments under her breath as she pried gremlin teeth out of her shotgun gauntlets? Yes, yes she was.

"Yang," she said distractedly with a half wave as she popped another one out and made a face at the dent. "Why can't you people have normal monsters? These things are so gross."

Re: Introductions! - TIHY [01]

[magnusrushesin]

"Well, they don't have any gerblins here as far as I can tell," Magnus said, seriously considering the other options.

Re: Introductions! - TIHY [01]

[wrongkindofsith]

"Because the island gates you." It was in the name of the class and everything. "These are practically normal compared to some of what's in store."

"Ohmigod, you guys, I'm so happy to be...wherever this is!" Mara squealed. "I'm, of course, Britney Spears, but it's so sweet that ya'll pretend not to know that."

Re: Introductions! - TIHY [01]

[magnusrushesin]

"So, you're not a robot?" He was a little disappointed by that, okay? A little bit. "I was sort of expecting a theme, but you know what, that's fine. That's just fine. It's very nice to meet you, Ms. Spears."

Re: Introductions! - TIHY [01]

[wrongkindofsith]

Mara was so lucky Cara had never really gotten into the habit of recording things on her phone. Instead she was just going to treasure the memory.

"Welcome to the class, Britney."

Re: Introductions! - TIHY [01]

[spell_chucker]

"I'm Khadgar. What happened to those murlocs?"

Someone had been blessed enough to not encounter gremlins before, so he was just rolling with what he knew.

Talk to Cara and/or Magnus! - TIHY [01]

[wrongkindofsith]

"I would like to change classes" is not an acceptable topic of conversation.

Re: Talk to Cara and/or Magnus! - TIHY [01]

[magnusrushesin]

But 'I am super excited to fight random things!' totally was.

That was the camp Magnus was in.

OOC! - TIHY [01]
