Working Together - Monday, 3rd Period

[biotic_psychotic]

The room was set up with the confidence course down the middle.

On one of the other walls was a projected list:

DANDELION
NERF
GRAVE DIRT
NATTO
JOYSTICK
TRAIN

"Welcome back. Your team captains so far have been Lana, Prompto, and Norman. You've walked past the confidence course, thrown it aside, and gone over it. Time for a new captain and a new way to do the course.

Today's exercise might take more than today. You have until next class to complete it because it will take you outside this room. It's a scavenger hunt with a twist. The rules:

If you know what the word is, you aren't allowed to be the person who retrieves the item. Nor are you allowed to lead others to the item or tell them where to find it or what it is. You are only allowed to answer yes or no questions about it and you may only answer with yes or no. Internet searches are not allowed.

The team captain is responsible for collecting all the items - and it can be the actual item or a photo representation of the item as long as you first went out and found the item first.

Happy hunting."

Scavenger hunt time.

Choose a captain

[biotic_psychotic]

Not Lana, Prompto, or Norman.

Confidence Course

[biotic_psychotic]

Can't go around it, over it, or throw it out of the way.

Discussion

[biotic_psychotic]

Chat about the scavenger hunt. Figure out who knows what. Make a plan.

Scavenger Hunt Results

[biotic_psychotic]

Linkdrop to threads where you found the items. Or rp in this thread, that works too.

As a team.

Talk to Jack

[biotic_psychotic]

She's here and curious how you'll deal with the confidence course.

Talk to the TA

[biotic_psychotic]

When she signs in.

I am the flattest of Sams today. It was a long weekend.

"Wait, I wasn't..."

Norman paused and thought about last class for all of three seconds.

And then he just facepalmed.

"Okay."

Norman looked thoughtfully at the course today.

"... I bet we could just carefully dismantle it or something," he mused.

Because coming up with ways to not do the course was tradition, at this point.

Re: Discussion

[always_someone]

There was a long pause, and then Norman sighed.

"I kinda know what all of those things are," he noted. And then frowned a little. "And I think that grave dirt one is kind of rude..."

How would you like it if someone came digging up your final resting place, huh?

Re: Confidence Course

[handystand]

"...I could just erase it from existence?" Okuyasu offered.

It wasn't a good idea.

Probably.

Re: Discussion

[biotic_psychotic]

"Oh? Why?" Jack asked.

Re: Talk to the TA

[onefootoutthedoor]

Peebee was here with popcorn again, because she was kind of shameless.

Re: Discussion

[handystand]

"Some of those seem pretty basic," Okuyasu mused out loud. "What if we all know what one of them is?"

Re: Discussion

[biotic_psychotic]

"Then none of you will be able to retrieve that item," Jack answered simply, "You'll have to figure out how to have it retrieved, without telling anyone where it is or doing anything but answering yes or no questions."

"I know what all of those except for one is," said Prompto, although he was was really wondering how even he, photographic genuis that he was, could capture a concept like taking something that was totally too overpowered in a video game and making it less so (and how a term like nerfing managed to make it into the lexicon of a world that didn't even have the things that the term was based on was beyond anyone's reasoning), "so I guess natto is mine?"

Re: Confidence Course

[hashtag_chocobro]

"Well, I was going to suggest blowing it up," said Prompto, because of course he would, "but that sounds...intriguing."

No, Prompto, no. You of all people should not be so down with things just being erased from existence.

Re: Discussion

[handystand]

Okuyasu opened his mouth, but was completely at a loss for how that would work out.

"...this is going to be hard."

Re: Discussion

[always_someone]

"Well," Norman fidgeted a little. "I mean... none of the graves on the island are fresh, you know? So that one... kind of asks us to turn earth on somebody's final resting place, and... I mean..."

Aaand he was fidgeting even more, now.

"That's... not... okay."

Because someone wasn't going to just go and add, 'because I'm the only one here who can ask the ghosts permission but because I know what it is, I'm not allowed to be the one to get it.'

Re: Discussion

[biotic_psychotic]

"It can be a photo," Jack shrugged, "Doesn't have to be the actual item as long as you guys went and took the picture yourself. Let's not be digging up any actual graves because yeah, that'd be rude."

Re: Discussion

[biotic_psychotic]

Jack grinned and said, "Yup."
