Wilderness Survival Redux - Week 5 | Thursday Morning, A Clearing in the Woods

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto looked distracted as she addressed the class. "Clothes and shoes. And we're doing today's class in the water, so if you want to wear your clothes the entire class, be my guest."

Once she'd collected clothing from those willing to give it up, she gestured to a set of spears and hand woven nets. "Last week we looked at hunting land animals, this week is fish, so take either a net or a spear, then follow me."

Callisto led the class though the preserve down to the beach, then into the water. Where she proceeded to give a lecture on basic fishing techniques.

"Now spend the rest of the class trying out spear, net and bare hand techniques, but those of you with spears, please be careful of your fellow students, as we don't want to have any accidents that might attract sharks."

"Anything you catch, you're expected to clean and cook yourself."

Sign In, Shoes, and Clothes (WSR - Wk5)

Unless you want it to turn into a wet t-shirt competition?

Thread collaspination for great justice!

Anders signed in and surrendered his worn-out t-shirt and grubby jeans, having finally had the forethought to show up at class barefoot.

Tyler signed in. He hadned over his t-shirt and sneakers but kept on his shorts.

Dean groaned but gave up his clothes. Because really he should've expected this considering the way his week had been going.

He kept the shades though because OMG bright. This morning they were the bare minimum he needed to be able to function outside.

Bridge shows up barefoot and wearing his scuba gloves. He hands over his clothes (old SPD sweats), glad that Callisto had warned him in advance about the topic of today's class.

Hope none of you are scared of sharks...

FISH! (WSR - Wk5)

FISH! - Spearfishing (WSR - Wk5)

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Try and avoid nasty accidents.

As far as Dean was concerned, all of these options were too way too loud, what with the splashing and the talking and the breathing and all.

But if he had to do it, the spear was the most attractive option. At least then something else might get to feel like they were being stabbed between the eyes.

Walter took a spear just for the practice with stabbing things and waded out into the water.

Anders waved at Walter with one hand. The other one was beneath the surface, and he was fingerwiggling for all he was worth in hopes of attracting a fish. What he'd do if one actually bit he hadn't bothered to think about yet.

"Going for the stabby option, huh?"

Gwynn is concentrating on catching the fish. Froderick would be amused by this class.

FISH! - Nets (WSR - Wk5)

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Amusing accidents are encouraged.

Re: FISH! - Nets (WSR - Wk5)

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Tyler took a net and managed to cast it into the water on his fourth try. Now he just needed to catch something...

Re: FISH! - Nets (WSR - Wk5)

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam, who had no desire whatsoever to catch and clean her own fish, decided to try casting her net. Somewhere around try number five, she stopped catching herself in it. "Progress!"

FISH! - Bare hands (WSR - Wk5)

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Also known as goofing around.

Re: FISH! - Bare hands (WSR - Wk5)

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"This can't be that hard, can it?" Anders muttered to himself as he opted for neither the spear nor the net, waded a little further into the water, and started groping around blindly not dirty beneath the surface. "I mean, all you gotta do is stick your hand underneath the water and feel around until you find a great big succulent fish, right? And then you wiggle your fingers so it looks like bait, and whammo!"

Peter grinned at Anders from the bank. "Works better if you stick to the shallows usually."

Re: FISH! - Bare hands (WSR - Wk5)

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge wades into the water, and contemplates whether taking his gloves *off* in order to find fish would constitute as cheating.

Cleaning and Cooking (WSR - Wk5)

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

You actually manage to catch something, cook it here.

Fires not provided.

Talk to Callisto (WSR - Wk5)

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

So looks like she's thinking deep thoughts.

Possibly involving vampire multilation.

End of class (WSR - Wk5)

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto's distracted so no-one gets their shoes or clothes back. Whoops.

OOC (WSR - Wk5)

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

I don't want to break the damp Cal icon streak I've got going here.

Re: OOC (WSR - Wk5)

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

It's not that I was watching "Fins, Femmes, and Gems" last night or anything, noooooooo.

Re: OOC (WSR - Wk5)

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Of course not. *believes*
