Scoobying Workshop #1, Afternoon 5/23/2006 (Held at Jeff, God of Biscuits today)

[Roster]

A note was handwavily left at each cabin door this morning, letting the campers know where to meet, and that they should dress in shoes they don't mind running in, and clothes they don't mind getting jelly on.

Now, three tables along the window opposite the pastry cases are pushed together and covered with open white boxes of doughnuts. Yeast, cake, cruller, bearclaw, jelly, custard, cream puff and eclair, with sprinkles and without, they're all there. Chairs are arranged in a semi-circle around the boxes, and -- contain your shock -- where there are doughnuts, there's Xander. Once everybody's settled down, he grins, and holds up a cinnamon-powdered doughnut.

"This is Scoobying 101; I'm Xander Harris. Well, actually, this is a doughnut and I'm Xander, but the other way sounded more impressive. "

"Being a Scooby is more of a way of life than a thing you can hold up or chow down on." He takes a bite by way of demonstration. And politely actually swallows it before continuing. "It's a word we used back home to describe the gang of mostly -- hi there, Cordy - normal people who ended up helping out one of our friends who's kind of a superhero."

"The thing is, the girl in question's megastrong and martial-artsy...and impressively bendy... but she still ended up needing help from her friends, and we all found things we were good at that we could help with. And that's the deal here: not everybody has the flashy powers or the big guns or the superspy training, but everybody has something they can do to help. Hopefully by the end of the workshop you'll have an idea what that is for you, or at least know how to start looking."

"First day, I figured why not start small - and you can't get much smaller than the guy who makes the doughnut run, right? Trust me, I speak from experience." He picks up one of the boxes of doughnuts and models his impressive doughnut-box-carrying talents. "But the idea is to get you thinking about how to make the best use out of the skills you have, no matter how little or lame you may believe they are. "

"So today you have to figure out what's not lame about being the doughnut guy. In exchange you get...well." He points at the obvious -- though if it's not obvious or you're busy looking out the window, that'd be the baked goods. "If you can handle the job."

[ETA: You don't actually have to get your doughnut-reasons approved. ;-) Xander will wander in and out, but absolutely assume any reason you come up with is a good one, and mod your own doughnuts like the sneaky little doughnutmodders I know you all are.]

Cordelia has a feeling she should probably not be allowed to take this class because, hello, personal experience.

"Well, everyone needs to eat. Sometimes you are researching into the long hours of the night, and doughnuts have that cakey-substance that can keep you going."

"Doughnuts are good energy food. Keeps you going. Plus the guy who gets the dougnuts? Controls the doughnuts. It's an underestimated position of power."

"I imagine that the jelly-filled ones could provide an excellent distraction for when you need to escape, or make sure that whatever it is you're fighting doesn't see the person behind it with a gun or a sword. And if you throw it right, you could get jelly in their eyes and that would really sting."

Blair stared at the donuts. "If you feed them to a monster all their teeth might fall out and they'll gain unslightly pounds around their hips."

Draco raised his hand. "By the time you come back with the doughnuts everyone else will be done with all the research and read-y parts of the mission."

"There might be evildoers in the bakery, and you could eavesdrop," Rory supplied. "Also, jelly and glaze can both be used as adhesives if needed. You know, if you need to...adhere...to something."

She shrugged.

Z frowned. Her reason had already been taken, sort of, but she plowed on regardless. "Doughnuts contain sugar, which provides an instant energy burst, useful to crimefighters of all stripes.

"Also, if you time your doughnut run just right, you can get to Krispy Kreme while the 'Hot Now' sign is flashing for the very best doughnuts of all. But they'll be cold by the time you get back to the others, so only you get the hot delicious doughnuts."

"People assume if you have donuts you can't be that bad a person and their's always the chance that if the bad guys aren't terribly bright you can go, 'Hey... Donut?' and distract them long enough to run while they're fighting over who gets the last chocolate glazed."

"Er..." Ok, so, perhaps some of the best answers had been given, D still had to try. "because without doughnuts, coffee gets lonely. If the coffee gets too lonely, it will totally get cold faster and be even more bitter. And as everyone knows, if your coffee goes cold and extra bitter, the terrorists cylons frogs bad guys have won."

Re: Earn Your Doughnuts!

Bridge does a handstand while he thinks about his answers.

"Projectile weapons, obviously. Sugar-rush snack food, too. A barricade, if you have enough doughnuts. Or if you're sitting and doing research and your chair just won't. stop. wobbling... a well-placed doughnut can solve that problem. Just don't use a jelly-filled one."

He stands back up and grins.

"Duh, bro. Doughnut-man gets to choose the flavours, gets first crack, and is the only member of the team who is indispensible." Jude blinked. "Sugar rushes, instant energy, projectiles . . ." He tried to think of what hadn't already been suggested. "Jelly doughnuts are just as good as banana peels or oil for tripping up rent-a-cops. I mean bad guys," he covered himself quickly. "Oh, and Timbits are really good for the projectile 'cause you can get more of them and are easier to carry. Plus, the glazed cake ones can sting if you whip 'em hard enough."

Hermione looks confused, but answers, "I don't suppose they're nutritionally helpful, but maybe they raise morale?"

"Being the one to get the doughnuts means that you have the honor of choosing the sustenance that is most beneficial to the ... hero!"

For some reason, James was having difficulty considering the person he usually fetched the doughnuts for to be a 'hero.'

"And doughnuts are far more filling than snow coated in soya-sauce!"

James might have been a bit out-of-sorts today. It certainly had nothing to do with the fact that his roomie, Shiro, was in a little ball in his pocket and thus, technically, was present for the workshop in some demented and twisted way.

Nadia double checked that her boots were on properly, tucked her box of donuts under her arm, and prepared herself for a lot of jumping and dodging.

Smooshed donuts still counted as donuts, right?

Blair took his box and tried to image the doughnut dudes as minions of The Man.

"I can totally do this."

Draco double knotted his shoes and grabbed his box of doughnuts. Protecting baked goods is what he was born to do.

Blair came up and took a doughnut out of one of the extra boxes, mumbling quietly about shoelace tricks.

Willow was not here. Willow being here would mean Willow had crashed a class, and Willow did not break school rules. Not often, and ideally not with getting caught.

However, it was possible that somehow, mysteriously, Xander would discover, amongst his things, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich made just the way he liked it.

Also a little note attached that said "Hi!" with a heart drawn around it.

Strange how these things occured.
