Wilderness Survival Redux (Week One) | A Clearing in the Woods, Thursday Morning

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto did not look happy as she waited for the the class finish coming into the clearing.

"First things first. Those stories you've been hearing on the rado about shoe stealing? True." She held up a large box. "At the start of each class you will take off your shoes and put them in this box. You will get them back at the end of class, if I believe that you have paid sufficient attention in class. Otherwise I get to keep them for the week. After you've done that I want you to introduce yourself to the class and say why you decided to take this workshop."

"Since this is the first class, I'd thought I'd start with something fairly simple. Fandom is filled with many unique and interesting animals, from the ducks and giant squid, to the dancing lemers and weetiny bunnies, to the minature giraffes and shy, retiring teal deer, to John Crichton. Some of these are harmless, others dangerous, still more tasty. Which is why, when lost in the wilderness, it's important to know what animals might be in your near vicinity. One of the best ways to do this is through tracking, the basics of which I will be teaching you today."

Callisto went on to give a very interesting and informative talk on tracking. It might even have drawn the attention of a few teal deer.

"Your assignment today is to split into pairs and identify which Fandom animal made the set of tracks I've assigned you.

"Good luck. You're going to need it."

Sign In and Shoes (WSR - Wk1)

Reply so the thread collapses.

Tyler signs in and hands over his sneakers and socks. He barely grumbles at all.

During the Lecture (WSR - Wk1)

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Talk, pass notes, actually listen to the crazy blonde.

Re: During the Lecture (WSR - Wk1)

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Tyler half-listened, but was mostly watching the dear approach.

They were very bright blue.

Anders actually paid attention to the lecture. Any thoughts regarding the teal deer in the area were just vague speculations about whether or not they glowed in the dark.

Re: During the Lecture (WSR - Wk1)

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn is very interested in what is being said.

Re: During the Lecture (WSR - Wk1)

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter, thanks to training, experience, and years of working for Arthur Hellsing, appeared quite attentive.

Re: During the Lecture (WSR - Wk1)

Bridge listens attentively and takes notes, though his thoughts as he listens to the lecture keep going off on weird speculative tangents. As per usual.

Rory listened and took notes, because she's Rory and not taking notes wasn't an option.

D paid little attention to the lecture because she was mentally head.desking.

There may have been some very quiet expletives murmured under her breath.

Not that she had a problem with the class per se, but putting herself willing into this sort of class? As ran by Callisto? So not what she had in mind for summer fun.

Sam listened to the lecture but couldn't bring herself to take notes. Her attention may have wandered a little.

Pairing One - Samuel Anders & D'anna Biers

"What the frak?" muttered Anders, peering so closely at the tracks that he'd better not sneeze or he'd ruin them. "I don't think that thing even walks."

Pairing Two - Bridge Carson & Samantha Carter

Bridge peers at the tracks thoughtfully. "I'm gonna guess a bird of some sort," he says, after a moment.

Pairing Three - Walter Dornez & Tyler Durden

Re: Pairing Three - Walter Dornez & Tyler Durden

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Tyler kneeled by the tracks, puzzled. He had no idea what kind of animal they represented.

Pairing Four - Rory Gilmore & Gwynn Hood

Re: Pairing Four - Rory Gilmore & Gwynn Hood

Gwynn stared at the tracks for a very long time, trying to puzzle things out in her mind.

Pairing Five - Peter Pevensie & Dean Winchester

Dean looked at their assigned tracks and grinned up at Peter. "Considering we're leaving tracks that look awfully similar to this, I'd say it's a safe bet we've got human -- or as close as -- here."

Talk to Callisto (WSR - Wk1)

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

She doesn't exactly look in the mood to listen to you though.

Re: Talk to Callisto (WSR - Wk1)

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

"Will speaking with you now affect the possible return of my shoes later in any way?" D was only brave to a point after all.

After Class (WSR - Wk1)

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

She's given you all your shoes back. Be best not to question it as it'll likely never happen again.

OOC (WSR-Wk1)

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's a rehash of last session's lesson, but at least that means there aren't any nasty surprises.

This week.

Duuuuuuuuuuude! Like D and Sanders even know what a seal is! *snickers*
