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.

"Was I supposed to be a robot?" Mara asked. "Because I can totally do a costume change."

"Uh, no. No, I think you're fine." Mostly because he had no idea where she'd go for that. And that they probably couldn't do an 80's style fashion montage.

She'd probably spin around in a circle and think she was in a different outfit, really. Gremlin bites were awesome.

"Aww, that's sweet. D'ya want an autograph?"

"Sure!" He was going to give it to Taako. Because Taako seemed like a Britney fan.

Mara pulled a sharpie marker from...somewhere. "Do you have paper?"

Re: Introductions! - TIHY [01]

[magnusrushesin]

"Yes, I do!" He'd added the roster to his inventory, so you got lucky. He offered it over. "To Taako. Two a's and a k in there."

"I loooooove tacos," Mara gushed, scrawling her signature, which looked nothing at all like Britney Spears'.

"Oh, so you know him! From TV?" TV that pointedly did not exist in his universe.

Re: Introductions! - TIHY [01]

[giveherahand]

"...sure," Mara said. "I've met, like, a ton of people."

Re: Introductions! - TIHY [01]

[magnusrushesin]

Magnus squinted at the signature and nodded, accepting that answer. "Okay, how about we find you some orange slices and a Capri-Sun until this wears off?"

"That's just the sweetest!" Mara squealed.

Mara was going to be so, so annoyed when this wore off.
