Leadership and Outdoorsmanship, Preserve Clearing, Thursday Morning

[harringtongreen.livejournal.com]

There was a table in the clearing, on which compasses, two copies of an island map, two clue sheets, two control cards, and written directions were laying in the open. Nimitz sprawled across the back of the table and watched with interested amusement as the students arrived.


Leadership and Outdoorsmanship:

First, please make sure to sign in. Once you’ve done this, collect a compass and divide into your groups. Each group gets a map and a control card. Complete the course marked on the map, stopping at each control flag to scan your card. I will meet you – with breakfast – at the end of the course.

Use your minicomps, compasses, and other conventional means. And always keep "leave no trace" in mind.

Good luck!
Professor Harrington

At the bottom of the directions, the following groups were scribbled out:

Group 1
Liz Weir
Peter Parker
Pippi Longstocking
Tim Desmond
Ainsley Hayes
Bel/Cole Turner

Group 2
Alanna Trebond
Anders
Peter Pevensie
Sawyer Ford
Dean Winchester
Pip Bernadette

Small, circular barcodes are next to each of the clues, to be read by the portable scanners left at the control flags.


[OOC: Okay, guys... This is another one with several threads I need to set up before you get going. I’m at work, so it might take me a few minutes. Please be patient, and I’ll modify this note when everything’s set. Apologies, too, for not getting it posted earlier. It’s been one frell of a morning...

OCD threads up! Have fun adventuring! ]

Nimitz flicked his tail, regarding Pippi with his head cocked to one side. It took him a moment to figure out that she was speaking to him. Sitting up on his true-feet, his hands went into motion. //Don't speak 'cat',// he signed, //but can speak Standard.//

And he hoped that Pippi could read sign.

Pippi tilted her head at Nimitz.

"Okay, I didn't understand that, but I think you can understand me if I talk People-Talk ya?"

To this, Nimitz nodded.

"The student with the long hair and the eye-patch was somehow transformed into a small baby goose. Which is the sort of thing that happens here sometimes." Pippi explained. "And I was supposed to stop by the room of the person who is taking care of him and pick him up to bring him to class so he wouldn't miss it. But I forgot to warn her last night and so I couldn't get him from her this morning because she either wasn't home, or maybe not awake... So he won't be in class today. But that's my fault... I figured the teacher should know he's absent and why... Should I write that down?"

The 'cat shook his head in very human-like fashion, then pointed a finger toward himself. He seemed to indicate that he could pass the message along.

Pippi nodded.

"Thank you very much." she said bobbing a curtsey.

Nimitz gave a toothy smile and gave his best approximation of a bow. Two-legs were always so strange. Was it common, he wondered, for them to spontaneously turn to tasty water fowl?
