The Floor Is Lava, Thursday - Period 1
The class had been told to meet in the Danger Shop, which was set up to look like a suitably foreboding landscape, with a large chasm filled with variously sized rocky platforms, separated by variously sized gaps, with a viscous fluid down below, glowing yellow and orange. At least one of your teachers was looking pretty pleased with herself.
Make that both teachers, really. Jane was bouncing on her toes in excitement to see how this went.
"It's not really lava, don't worry," Jane said before the class could even take it all in. "It's jello."
Which was only moderately better. Especially because someone had found the setting to make it real jello. You're welcome.
"But welcome to class! The object is very simple... don't fall in."
"The last person standing wins," Cara added. "Anything short of actually harming one another goes."
"Oh! And let's try it without powers this time?" Jane suggested. Helpfully.
"We'll supervise, to...keep it fair." And not because Cara had popcorn stashed away or anything like that.

Re: Start!
With that, he lifted a leg, hopped onto the closest obstacle, missed it by a good few inches, and immediately went into the lava.
"Curses!" he cried out, clutching his chest dramatically with one hand and reaching out with his other as he sunk to his jello-y death. "This isn't over! Wait until we heat again!"
And then, limps splayed out and with one big death groan, he lay still among the lava.
After adjusting his cap to make sure it had stayed on.
Re: Start!
"Oh no!" she cried, one hand to her forehead. "Not my prince! I will mourn you forever! And get to the other side in your honor!" She wouldn't, but she didn't know that yet.
