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.]



[OPEN! Welcome; plz find dork within.]

"I'm going to die," Zack remarked as he taped up his box of donuts to make sure none fell out.

"Just keep moving." Nadia smiled at him. "I'll keep an eye on you, if you like. I'm used to trying to hold on to stuff while running from people."

"Thanks," Zack grinned. "Keep moving. I'll try to remember that."

"Dodge and weave. And fight dirty. No one will blame you if you trip Jamie."

Zack nodded. "So, just like Christmas dinner back home, I can do this."

Two doubles approach Zack. "Okay kid. Hand over the crullers and nobody has to get hurt."

Zack glared at the enemy stickbugs doubles. Luckily growing up in a large family meant only being menaced by two people wasn't so scary.

And gave you a couple of tricks.

He pointed and yelled dramatically. "OH MY GOD! A DISTRACTION."

Then he bolted in the opposite direction.

"That's the spirit!"

[ooc: omg, I <3 you so much!]

"Thanks for the advice!"

Only one of the dupes fell for that.

What can I say? He's not the brightest guy in the world.

The other dupe ran full blast after Zack while the other one took a few seconds to realized he'd be duped.

A duped duplicate. Who doesn't love good alliteration?

Zack fled, fled like the geeky and didn't get outdoors quite often enough wind.

Jamie isn't necessarily a fast runner. He is however in pretty good shape and both doubles are making pretty good time after Zack. "Give it up meerkat! Your jellies are mine!"

"Go eat a stickbug cookie instead!" Zack yelled as he skidded around a corner.

The two Jamies are still not giving up. "You know you could just give us two doughnuts and we wouldn't have to do this whole running thing!"

"After what you did this morning?" Zack grabbed a streetlight and spun himself around another corner. "Not a chance."

[identity profile] multi-madrox.livejournal.com 2006-05-24 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
"What? We were just trying to serenade the girls? It's very sweet when you think about it!" One of the Jamies said as he continued to keep pace with Zack.

"You let a flock of pervert ducks into our cabin!"
