[Creatures of Nature - 5th Period, 7/23]
For once, D had the class meet in the Danger Shop, if only because it gave him the ability to choose his environment to a much greater degree. And so the Danger Shop seemed to be a very large outdoor arena, with a half-mile race track in the middle and a larger moat around it.
"You may have noticed that we are in the simulated environment room," D said with a faint note of distaste. "This will hopefully be the only time this is an issue, but I did not want anyone to hurt themselves to a degree that would preclude this sort of class in the future. Hence, we are here."
Leading everyone to a corral, he brought forth two animals by their reins -- one a horse and the second looking to be a very large chicken bird.
"These are a horse," he began, indicated the creature on his right. "And a chocobo. They are both used for transportation and, at times, for menial labor. Some of you may be familiar with one or both of these creatures and some of you may not, but you will all have a chance to ride one or the other today. Whichever you choose, be courteous and kind, or if you decide to race then be careful as well."
D went through some very basic horse/birdmanship and then went to the moat around the arena, where there was, half-submerged in the water, what looked like a giant elephantine creature with a pavilion on its back. "I will be on the shoopuf," he called back to the class. "Any who don't wish to ride may come join me and any who are thrown or otherwise about to be hurt in any way will find themselves summarily transported to a seat on the shoopuf's back for the duration of class. I have iced tea and cookies!"
[OOC: Choose one or the other, or retire to the shoopuf with D. Mod your creature, and in the case of racing, please speak with your opponent OOCly to determine a winner. Plz wait for OCD is done.]
