Summer Session 2, Scoobying Workshop #7, Afternoon 8/22/2006 (Main Campfire)

[Roster]

Xander is...totally not here. There's just his laptop sitting on a log, and Isabel standing next to it. When everybody's assembled, she presses a key, and a recording fills the screen.

Xander (soldtoarmenians)	Xander appeared on the screen alone, and gave a wave to the camera. "Hey, guys. This is the last Scoobying workshop for this session, and well, the last one period, for me. I just wanted to tell you that you all, both sessions, were great, and I hope I made it as fun for you as you did for me. If there's one skill you come away with no matter what you end up doing, I hope it's that, because the rest of it you can fake, but if you can laugh at yourselves, or, y'know, each other, in a pinch, you'll be--"
Xander (soldtoarmenians)	Xander appeared to be yanked offscreen, and a voice said, "Just as screwed, muahaha. Just a little more distracted from it." Moments later, the camera swung right, and Xander was replaced by... A face that might be... slightly familiar behind the glasses, even-bushier-than-usual eyebrows, giant somewhat plasticky looking nose, and fuzzy mustache, looming above Willow, who appeared to be tied to a chair. "Muahahahahaha," laughed the villain again, with a villainous tone. In an artificially-gruff voice, he added, "Xander couldn't stay, sorry, because I, his Evil Alternate Personality ^TM...um...Xandino, have taken over his body. I've also kidnapp~~inat~~ed Willow. Because I'm evil like that."
Willow (willbedone)	Willow came in much more quickly this time than on last session's recording - she'd had practice, after all. "Oh! Yes!" she said, trying to make 'Help me' eyes at the camera. "He's so evil! Extremely! Also? This rope is very scratchy and this is in no way a comfy chair."
Xander (soldtoarmenians)	"And if you meddling kids don't get here in time to rescue her, I'm going to force her to watch..." The Evil Villain lowered his voice to a loud, terrible whisper. "That episode of Wendy the Werewolf Stalker where Wendy and Ryan have the unsexiest sex ever for fifty-five godawful minutes. And I'll tape her eyes open!"
Willow (willbedone)	Willow didn't have to act her look of disgust. Or her attempt to get away. "No! Never! Somehow I will escape from these tight, confining ropes that are holding me down and--" Willow paused, seemingly distracted, then said, "Ahem." There might have been blushing.
Xander (soldtoarmenians)	There was another pause, during which Xand...ino stared at her ~~like he had almost managed to repress her reaction to that line last time~~, then there was a cough that sounded suspiciously like "line...," and the astute observer might note him poking her gently on the shoulder.
Willow (willbedone)	Willow gave him a Look, and continued. "So yes! Please save me, members of the Scoobying class! It doesn't matter which one of you comes FIRST, or that you may have to search all over town and each FLOOR OF THE DORMS for a ROOM that might, you know, belong to somebody who looks like XANDER...ino."
Xander (soldtoarmenians)	"That's Xandino! And that's enough outta you, missy!" Xand..er..dino reached offscreen for something, and returned holding a piece of duct tape. Or possibly several pieces of masking tape stuck together and cleverly painted to look like duct tape. He placed it ~~lightly~~ viciously over her mouth.
Willow (willbedone)	Willow did her best to try to shout "Help!" ~~while trying to make sure she didn't accidentally dislodge the tape~~ in spite of her oh so vicious and cruel new gag.
Xander (soldtoarmenians)	From behind her, there was a loud, "RIBBIT?" The Evil Xandino turned and put a finger to his lips, right under the bushy mustache. "You shut up too, Jerem...mino, and quit yer whining. No, they won't get here in time to rescue her, 'cause they have to do the in-class exercise first. Plus they're not smart enough to team up to track us down, and the fish that keeps moving around on the door will just confuse them, which means none of them will get any of the delicious--" He coughed. "Twidiginkidigies adigand odigothidider yidigummiddigy snidigacks whidigich Idigi adigam nidigot tidigellidiging thidigem adigabidigout sidigo thidigere."
*(cough)*	From offscreen again, but this time as if it was right behind the camera, came a loud BAA-AAA-AAAAH-ing sound. Xandino blinked. "Uh, yes. Thank you, um. RIC-ino. Exactly. What you said."

And screen goes dark.

[OPEN! Also, what Xander said - thank you guys so much for running with this and consistently cracking me the heck up.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Form teams of two or more out of the resources you actually have at your disposal, and use the VERY SUBTLE CLUES to figure out how to rescue Willow. Make your way across camp and back to the HIGHLY SEKRIT LOCATION!

[The actual thread for busting in ~~THE COMPLETELY UNLOCKED AND IN FACT CRACKED-OPEN~~ HEAVILY BOLTED DOOR and rescuing Willow is below, but everything up to that point can go here, including if you so desire, staring for great WTF at the painted yellow fish that's in a different spot every time you look away.]

Angela glanced at her classmates, deadpan. "It looks like he really hid Willow someplace far away and very hard to find."

"Yes, it could take hours to find her," Isabel snickered.

"Days, even," Angela agreed. "Poor Willow." She shook her head solemnly. "Want to work with me, or should we wait or a third?"

River listened to the conversation. "Perhaps I could use Berthold to find her. If he catches her scent and thinks she has ice cream he'd probably find her."

"Berthold?" Isabel asked curiously. "Who? Or what is that?" Sitting back, she waited for an answer, given that it was Fandom, it was probably going to be an interesting one.

"The monster that lives under Buffy's bed. He's a bit shy, but the ice cream trick should work. Or pancakes might."

"Oh," she said, amused by the concept of a monster living under the Slayer's bed. "It's worth a shot. And if all else fails, you can find out if he likes Twinkies."

"I could also find out if I like Twinkies." River looked very serious. "Should I get Bertie then?"

Angela was stilll gawping a little at the whole idea of a monster under the bed being real. After a year in this place, nothing should surprise her, and yet...

"Um, sure," she said. "We should use all of our resources."

River just nodded and left. When she returned she was carrying what looked like a mass of tentacles covered with a blanket. Sniffling noises emanated from under the blanket and River sighed. "He's a bit shy. He needs to get out more."

"Hi Berthold!" Isabel said, eyeing the tentacles warily. "You're sure he just likes ice cream?"

"And pancakes."

Cally looked around for folks to team up with.

Parker waved to her. "You up for taking the hinges off a hypothetical-yeah-right door?"

Cally pulled out the super-special Swiss Army knife she'd gotten from TAing with Macgyver.

"I am so ready for that," she said.

Parker grinned at that. "You want to get a third person, or are we feeling confident enough to go in with just the two of us? I have a MegaZapper gun in my room that I'm sure will take out Xandino in a heartbeat."

"Well, if all we're doing is opening the door and zapping him, I don't think we need anyone else," Cally said. "Plus, I might even get the chance to try out my self defense stuff if anyone sneaks up on us."

"Let's go for it." Parker grinned. "Megazapper, cellphone for back-up, First Aid kit in case Willow's hurt, shyeah, mmmmm... restraints? Hey, you have handcuffs still, right?"

Cally patted her back pocket. "Up in my room, I do," she said. "Not on me, sadly."

"Meet you at the Secret Hideout in ten, with the MegaZapper and extra tools?"

[and I go aways, woe, for another 4 hours.]

"Right, got it," Cally said. "We've got this sucker in the bag!"

Marie wandered over ~~when her player got home from work~~. "Can I work with you guys?" she asked.

"Oh, sure," Cally said. "You can help with making sure Willow's okay. And help me with the door."

"Help you do what with the door?" Marie asked.
