The Kludge's Guide to the Universe | Dangershop, Wednesday Afternoon (Week 2)

[theharperisgood.livejournal.com]

Wednesday afternoon once again found Harper in the dangershop, with his feet up and a can of Sparky.

After the class had signed in and found places to sit or lean, Harper stood up. "All right, last week we studied team-building. Today comes the important collaterally to team building, a little thing I like to call threat recognition."

"Now you don't want any team you might build to be made of people who'll throw you to the Magog the first chance they get. Unfortunately, in this big, bad, universe, people don't go around wearing signs proclaiming their back-stabbing abilities. In fact they'll go to great lengths to hide it until they can take advantage of you. For example the hot babe charmed by your wit might really be a phase-shifting, tesseracting, servant of evil, or your ship's avatar's slimy new robot boyfriend might really be a psychotic High Guard warship, intent on wiping out all spacefaring life from the universe." Harper did not sound the least bit bitter of those two examples. Really.

"Clearly, if you want to survive, and not end up dead or worse, you have to find a way to uncover the level of threat someone poses to you," Harper said. "Which brings me to the lesson."

Harper fiddled with his remote and three people appeared at the front of the room.

The first was a furry, batfaced creature, with nasty sharp pointy teeth and large claws, dressed in a robe.

The second was a tall, muscular man with a stern expression, laden with weapons. An astute observer would have notice three nasty looking bone spurs sticking out of each forearm.

The third was…purple. And bouncy. With a forked tail.



"These are Rev, Tyr, and Trace," Harper said, pointing at each in turn. "Your job today is to determine who exactly out of these three is the most dangerous, and why."

"It's not," he whined.

"You should stop then."

Cameron stopped and turned his head so he could look at her, resting his cheek on the desk. "There was no boykissy," he said firmly.

"Good," she said quietly before she could stop herself. She looked down at her hands and blushed a little.

Re: First Impressions (Kludge - Wk2)

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron blinked and lifted his head. "Wait. There was any doubt?"

Re: First Impressions (Kludge - Wk2)

Molly shrugged. "Not really, but Jack is very... Jack and the radio said he put you to bed. But, it's not like I asked. You brought it up."

Re: First Impressions (Kludge - Wk2)

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron flailed. "But you were thinking it was a possibility?"

Re: First Impressions (Kludge - Wk2)

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly looked over at him. "Not really."

Re: First Impressions (Kludge - Wk2)

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron narrowed his eyes because that wasn't a definite no either.

Re: First Impressions (Kludge - Wk2)

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly sighed. "The radio did say he put you to bed. I may have wondered briefly, but I decided you wouldn't kiss him no matter how drunk you were. And I'd like to point out again that I didn't ask."

Re: First Impressions (Kludge - Wk2)

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Good," Cameron said. "Because I really really wouldn't. We just got drunk, had a fight and sang." He left out the part where he had no clue where his shirt was.

Re: First Impressions (Kludge - Wk2)

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Sounds like fun," Molly said and looked at his face carefully for injuries. "Did you actually fight?" she asked.

Re: First Impressions (Kludge - Wk2)

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron rubbed his chest and looked pretty uncomfortable. "Not exactly."

Re: First Impressions (Kludge - Wk2)

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"What happened?"

Re: First Impressions (Kludge - Wk2)

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron mumbled something.

Re: First Impressions (Kludge - Wk2)

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly leaned closer. "I couldn't hear what you said. What?"

Re: First Impressions (Kludge - Wk2)

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Another sentence of mumbling then something that might have sounded like

"You fell over," Molly repeated and sat back. "That's one way to stop a fight," she said with a smirk.

Re: First Impressions (Kludge - Wk2)

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"He did too!" Cameron said defensively.

Re: First Impressions (Kludge - Wk2)

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"At least you were even then," Molly said.

Re: First Impressions (Kludge - Wk2)

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron hrmphed.

Re: First Impressions (Kludge - Wk2)

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly grinned. "So then you both sang and staggered back to camp where Jack put you to bed?"

Re: First Impressions (Kludge - Wk2)

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that wasn't helping. "I guess you can call it that."

Re: First Impressions (Kludge - Wk2)

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly raised an eyebrow at him. "What would you call it?"

Re: First Impressions (Kludge - Wk2)

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Stagger in the same direction and pass out?"
