fandomhigh | Retail 101, Monday morning, the street outside All and Sundries

Apparently Edmund did have a toothache, as he is off to the mainland for a dentist's appointment, leaving his class in the oh, so capable hands of Mr. S.O. Baldrick.

Baldrick, still semi-bathed from two weeks ago, is waiting for them outside the shop. There is a peculiar item pointed across the street toward the school grounds and a pile of turnips stacked neatly next to it.

"'ello class. My name is Baldrick. This," he points to the peculiar item, "is a trebuchet. Mr. Blackadder thought that today would be a good day for you to try to convince people to buy something they didn't think they needed. I'm not very good at it, but Mr. B's off to the dentist."

He mutters something about offering to take care of it himself and pulls out a piece of paper from which he begins to stiltedly read. "Class: today I leave you in Baldrick's in- in- in-CAH-pa-blay hands. Sell turns at the tre-buch-ette to anyone who walks by. There's no price. Start high. Go low if you have to. You're working with Baldrick, you now know low as only an in-ver-te-brate can."

[ooc: This class is open to passers-by because it is taking place on the street outside All and Sundries. Yes, the mun has yet another dental visit and I'm leaving this in Baldrick's capable and oh, so moddable hands. For trebuchet users, All and Sundries is located at 21 Loon Drive. Bear that in mind when aiming the trebuchet. It's also not large enough to fire cows, just turnips, and the shop is far enough down the hill that it should not impact the school/dorms/etc.]

"Um. Tell me you know how to work this thing? I know the balloon thinger goes there, and... then it flies."

"See, this is why I wanted to get online to research," Willow said. She pointed. "I think we flip that thing."

Jaye reaches out for the thing, then stops. "Do you think it'll kill me dead?"

"Oh!" Willow said, excited. "I could do it with my mind!"

"Um?" says Jaye. "Kill me dead?"

Willow looked perplexed. "Why?"

"Well, you said you could do it with your mind."

"Flip the thing for the trebuchet," Willow clarified. "I can't kill anybody with my mind yet."

"I'm going to ignore the 'yet,'" Jaye decides. "Well, then, feel free. Um. To flip the thing."

Willow concentrated. There was a little wobbling, then one activated trebuchet.

Willow in no way looked happily surprised she'd managed to pull it off.

"Eeee!" says Jaye. "Did it hit? Also, awesome. Did we get it?"

Willow squinted in the theater's direction. "I'm seeing a lot of glitter. Mind you, that could be what's on my cheeks."

"That's okay, I'm happy with it!" Jaye says. "Best class ever!"

"Shall we try again?" Willow asked.

"Yes! Who do you want glittered?"

"Me? You mean, not the theater again? I couldn't possibly... maybe Caritas?"

"Caritas needs glitter," Jaye says seriously.

"It's like a public service, really," Willow said. She got a balloon ready for water.

Jaye gets the hose again. "I think I have a new hobby."

"Think Mr. Blackadder will let us borrow the trebuchet whenever we want?" Willow asked.

"Probably not, but I have a gift certificate, maybe I can use it for that!" Jaye suggests.

"Do you think we count for passing the assignment if we sell it to ourselves?" Willow asked.

"Hey, we sold each other on it!" Jaye nods. "Win."

"Does this kind of moment call for a high five? I'm never sure."

"When in doubt, you probably should just not do it," Jaye advises her.
