Fandom Gladiators; Thursday, Fourth Period [05/13].
Rosa would never admit it outloud, but it honestly felt good to be back in the old ridiculously stupid Fandom Gladiators mod here in the Danger Shop again. Although, really, since this class was never anything more than a way to entertain herself by having people do ridiculous things and hit each other with giant Q-tips, it really wouldn't be that terrible of a thing to admit.
"Well, everyone," she started, "congratulations on being in the coolest class available in the summer, Fandom Gladiators, where weekly, you'll be put to the test in a series of physical challenges to see who comes out on top...or at least sucks less than the others. My name is...not important, because when we're in the arena, we will only be known by our gladiator names. Mine is Exterminator. I have lived up to that name through many, many Fandom Gladiator classes in the past. So, you're all going to pick your own gladiator name...or get assigned one by me, which you do not want. You want something cool and intimidating, like Hawk or Nitro or Storm. Bonus points if you put together a backstory or gimmick, but choose wisely, because one you pick your gladiator name, you're going to be stuck with it.
"Then? We're going to suit up," she gestured toward the collection of foam pads and helmets, "because even though this is the Danger Shop so no one will really get hurt, it's part of the traditional Gladiator uniform. And if you were an idiot and didn't wear clothes you can move easily in, don't worry. We have you covered with some clearly very flattering gym uniforms.
"And once that's out of the way," Rosa finished, "get ready, because we're doing Human Cannonball. Not as cool as it sounds, but you still get to run into people, so still pretty cool. I'll explain more when we're finished suiting up and naming ourselves. You." She quirked her chin up at the quintessential nearest random person. "You go first."

Re: Pick your Gladiator Name - Gladiators, 05/13.
"Thank you," she said sincerely.
