The Tick grinned as the students walked in. "Just as a reminder, chums, next week will be a scrapbook review! Please try to get your books finished by by the time the workshop starts."

"This week, we'll be working on putting together a powerful friend. You'll notice that in front of you, you have four pieces of wood linked to a plank by tiny chains. If you look closely, you might notice that those pieces are arms and legs. If you look even closer to that, you might notice a face waiting to come out! Today you'll be bringing life to your very own Little Wooden Boy! Using the tools in front of you, you have to give him a face. Using the tools inside your head, you have to give him a name. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or-" Tick pulled a wooden figure of his own out from under the table, "- ask Little Wooden Boy IV!"

"This week for your scrapbooks, we're focusing on a certain phrase: 'you can't judge a book by it's cover.' While it's a reasonable saying for many things, it doesn't count in scrapbooks. In scrapbooking, the cover is the outer extension of everything that's inside! The cover should be as much a piece of art as anything on the inside. Mine is a simple blue, but if you look carefully you'll see a really keen antennae pattern in it. You don't have to get that detailed, but we need something for the front of the book that says your name in a non-literal fashion!"

Show off your new Little Wooden Boy! Don't forget to name him!

Hamlet tries to pose his LWB in a kind of attack position -- or at least as much of one as you can stick them in.

"I've named him 'Horvendill'. It's the name of a famous historical danish king."

"I think that's an excellent name, Hamlet!" Tick said. "I hope you find his presence useful. Hopefully he gives you some good advice!"

Sakurazaki waves her LWB's wand in the air a little as she shows him off.

"I call him Konjunma." She giggles, fiercely impressed with her conglomeration skills.

"Hello, Konjunma!" Tick said. "Very good use of accessories to give him even more individuality, Sakurazaki! I'm sure he appreciates it."

Tempe's LWB had a very nice-looking happy face on it. The eyes were decorated with blue glitter, and she'd also attempted to give it some slightly scruffy-looking hair.

"I think I'll call him...Jack the Little Wooden Waffle Guy."

She couldn't help it, she'd had waffles before she came to the workshop and they were really good. Naming little wooden boys after them good, apparently.

"Hello, Jack!" Tick said. "Well done, Tempe! He's definitely a unique little guy."

Jaye makes her Little Wooden Boy wave. "This is Dave," she introduces him.

"Hello, Dave!" Tick said. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Tick turned to Jaye. "I had a feeling you'd enjoy today, Jaye!"

After he was dry, Maia took her little wooden boy (http://pics.livejournal.com/maia_rutledge/pic/00009dbx) to the front of the class to show him off. "I decided to name him Purdue." Maia bounced him up and down a little. "He's a very happy little wooden boy."

"Hello, Purdue!" Tick said. "Excellent work, Maia!"

Maia beamed happily at Professor Tick. "Thank you sir. He's for my pet goldfish Simon. I think he gets a little lonely during the day when I'm out."

Kaylee's Little Wooden Boy was happy. But she also thought he was kinda creepy. She tried to think of a name she thought fit a creepy wooden doll. "This is Syd."

"Hello, Syd!" Tick said. "You're a very happy little wooden boy, aren't you?"

"Well done, Kaylee!"

Bridge had managed to scrounge up a pair of googly eyes for his LWB.

"This is, um... Toasty," Bridge introduces him to the rest of the class.

"Hello, Toasty!" Tick said. "You share a name with a toaster, you know."

"Nicely done, Bridge! Nice work with the eyes especially!"
