Have Portal, Will Travel; Tuesday, Fourth Period [03/09].

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Hey, everyone," said Summer from the front of the classroom as usual with a little wave of her hand. "I hope you're feeling both limber in body and mind this afternoon, because we're sort of extending our lesson on defense and fighting and stuff when things go bad with a little exercise in how normal things...like, say," she gestured to the object in question dangling from her mouth, "a toothpick can sometimes be used to defend yourself and probably save your life. That's why I've got Ms. Blackstone here with us today," and now that expressive hand was gesturing toward Amaya, who stood up at the front of the class with Summer, and also lifted a hand in a wave, "with us, because she actually sometimes teaches whole semesters about stuff like this, so she's a good person to have on board if you want to get creative with how to make a bunch of stuff into weapons.

"Now, we are going to the Danger Shop today," she continued, "because I kind of thought about it, and going to a different place expecting to have to fight and possibly kill actual living things was a little fucked up, so we're just running a sim instead. But we are taking a portal," she hitched her thumb over her shoulder to the portal that usually waited for them, "to the Danger Shop, because it's still a portal class."

Plus...hilarious.

"So everyone up, let's get going, and let's see what we can find to help us out. Now, if you are the type that usually has a weapon on you, that's great, but, sometimes, something might happen and you might not have it or something's wrong with it, or who even knows what, anything is possible, so it's still good to have a few backup plans and ideas, too, y'know? Anyway, let's get moving, shall we?"

And, with that, Summer hopped in, Amaya followed, and she expected them to all follow suite or else she'd hop right on back to see if one of those anything is possible scenarios was going on and she'd have to see how taking a portal just to the danger shop had somehow managed to go awry...

Scavenge for Weapons! - HPWT, 03/09.

[somethingwithturquoise]

It's a big giant space junkyard with a randomizer feature thrown in, so there's literally anything you could possibly hope to mod somewhere in these heaps of junk and old rusted out shells of spaceships. Feel free to mod whatever you'd like to find, get weird with it, discover the easy route with actual weapon caches...the sky is the limit!

And both Amaya and Summer are around to help make suggestions if you're feeling a bit stumped or want to run a few ideas past them.

But also keep in mind that Summer did say something about having to fight and possibly kill things earlier, of course! Which means feel free to mod (or poke for slow fighty action!) the small but viscious little furry creatures (now that you mention it, they're an awful lot like this guy) that will come out from underneath all these junk piles, rather hungry for something that isn't scrap metal and rusted parts.

Fighting was not Belle's strong suit. As a result, neither was improvising weapons.

She did successfully drop what looked like a dented platter on one of those little fuzzy creatures with too many teeth though. And then felt bad about it.
