The Kludge's Guide to the Universe | Dangershop, Wednesday Afternoon (Week 1)

The danger-shop was set up to look like a cluttered workshop, every available surface covered in futuristic looking junk. Harper sat with his feet up on a bench tapping at a control pad and drinking from a can of Sparky's.

"Good afternoon class," Harper said, taking a sip of his cola. "Just find somewhere to take a seat and we'll get started."

After the class had found somewhere to sit or lean, he stood up.

"My name is Seamus Zelazny Harper," he said. "You can call me Harper. Now I could give this big inspiring Dylan-like speech about the universe, chaos and how we must and really, all you need to know can be condensed into two sentences." Harper held up two fingers.

"The universe hates you. Deal with it.

"And how to successfully deal with it is what you're going to be learning to do over the next few weeks, " Harper said. "And trust me, I've done more than my fair share of dealing with it.

"One important thing to realise is that just because the universe hates you, not everyone in the universe does too. In fact sometimes the only thing standing between you and a horrible painful demise is a group of friends not willing to give up on you. So to start with we'll be doing a number of team-building exercises." Harper grinned. "Of course, since the universe does hate you, and it's been my experience that nothing builds a team faster than your own impending demise, they aren't your regular team building exercises.

"But we'll just start off slow with some introductions."

Xander looks dubiously at the metal stick, but starts doing as instructed.

Sam was grinning. "It's bad to drop the stick on purpose, just to see what the explosive does, right?"

"I'm thinking yes." Xander tilts his head at her. "...But you want to do that very badly, don't you?"

She didn't bounce, because, hello, holding explosives, but it was a near thing. "Uh huh. But I'll be good."

"Good, 'cause I have this thing about avoiding being exploded. It's kind of a quirk."

"You're taking all the adventure out of this, you realize," she said, beginning to lower her hand towards the ground.

"Yes, well, I find my life has involved far more explosions as of late than I'm comfortable with. So... I've made a point to avoid them."

"More explosions?" Sam asked. "What happened?"

"Well, nothing *here*." Xander clarifies. "But back home. There's a bit of a... demon problem. And I was recruited to help solve it."

"Oh yeah? How come?"
