Wilderness Survival Redux - Week 6 | Thursday Morning, A Clearing in the Woods

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto looked far from happy as she addressed the class, giving a brief, yet highly informative, lecture on snares and pit traps.

"However," she added. "These particular style of traps fall down when you want to catch a nocturnal animal without doing harm to it, as they often react badly to the approach of day, or are in fact harmed by excessive light. Your job today is to try and devise a trap which would trap a large, nocturnal animal without doing it any harm. You can do this either on your own or in groups."

She didn't ask for your shoes, this is a bad sign.

Thread to be collapsing, if you please.

Devise Traps! (WSR - Wk6)

By yourself or with others.

Tyler reached for some rope and started weighing it in his hands, thinking about how a trap that wouldn't hurt could work.

Peter would have liked to know how intelligent this nocturnal animal was before starting to devise a trap.

Had Peter asked her, Callisto would have been quite scathing in her assessment of the nocturnal animal's intellect.

Bridge looks at the materials thoughtfully, half-wondering if he could convince Dr. Manx to let him borrow a Judgement Scanner for Cal to use.

Anders got himself a length of rope and . . . a few other items, and set to work making a snare trap.

. . . no, that wasn't an oversized yo-yo he was attempting to devise using some of the rope and assorted pieces of tree limb.

Really.

What part the yo-yo that really wasn't a yo-yo would play in the snare trap, he had no idea.

Rory started to sort of weave a trap.

No, she had no idea what she was doing.

But it looked pretty.

"Callisto? How large an animal are we discussing here? And what does it eat?" Sam asked, beginning to sketch a simple humane trap.

Re: Devise Traps! (WSR - Wk6)

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Large," Callisto replied. "Especially around the head. Blood, hairgel."

D'anna? So didn't like the sound of this assignment.

She put forth effort to look like she was working. Working but not accomplishing the task.

Demonstrate Traps (WSR - Wk6)

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Show off your trap, explain how it works and why it won't harm any creatures of the night who stumble into it.

Talk to Callisto (WSR - Wk6)

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

At your own peril.

Re: Talk to Callisto (WSR - Wk6)

"Callisto?" Peter asked, after playing with the trap material for a few minutes and deciding more information is needed. "Just how intelligent a creature are we discussing? And how much sunlight would be a problem? Does it have to be pitch black or would indirect light - or light through a tree be fine?"

Re: Talk to Callisto (WSR - Wk6)

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Peter, I'm constantly suprised this creature can summon the mental capacity to even walk under it's own power," Callisto said. "And any sunlight is a problem, although a certain amount of indirect light might serve it right should not prove fatal."

Re: Talk to Callisto (WSR - Wk6)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Did you do it?" Rory asked quietly, sidling up to her.

Re: Talk to Callisto (WSR - Wk6)

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I did it."

No need to give your shoes back, you already have them.
