The Art of Scrap, Friday, Period 4

Jan 20, 2012 01:25

This week, Dean's students had been told to dress for the weather in clothes that they didn't mind getting dirty, because they were doing some hands-on searching for art supplies in Fandom's junkyard. Lined up at the gate were enough wheelbarrows for each student to take one, and each wheelbarrow had a pair of heavy work gloves, a travel mug of hot ( Read more... )

Such as it is.

At least Dean supplied you all with coffee, right? There's cream and sugar in your wheelbarrows, too, in case you don't take it black.

Wimps.

Knowing he really shouldn't be drinking coffee, Butters looked down into the cup he was nursing and wondered if there would be repercussions if he asked for some of them to be provided with decaf.

But...wheelbarrow. That sort of took precedence because wheelbarrows were pretty sweet.

Top up those wheelbarrows of yours with whatever strikes you as an interesting material to build with. Don't forget to wear your work gloves, and please, try not to bring anything back to the school that'll attract vermin later.

Unless your sculpture is supposed to be a realistic representation of the government as portrayed by cockroaches. Dean might give you extra credit if you can bullshit yourself an explanation like that. Not because he buys it, but because it amuses him.

Once his nefarious plan had been enacted, Butters went innocently to work, whistling a little tune as he picked through the junkyard trying to find lot of cool stuff to build other cool stuff out of.

He almost wished he had a mangy but loveable dog to accompany him, as this reminded him an awful lot of the time he thought the world had ended and he had to build up civilization from scratch. He knew that wasn't the case, but it was interesting trying to think of which of the girls he knew he might chance proposing to to help him rebuild the human population....

George wasn't sure what it said about her that she was drawn to a rusted, half-broken bicycle tire. It fit onto her wheelbarrow, so ... why not? She wasn't sure how it was going to fit into her sculpture, but she was improvising, and it wasn't going to attract rats.

... she hoped, anyway.

Who Dean imagines probably has a fair bit of experience digging through stuff like this, too.

Re: Talk to the TA! notmyownage January 20 2012, 07:01:39 UTC

Well, most of the piles of crap she was used to digging through had magical powers, but it was close enough.

Claudia had a collection of bike tires and miscellaneous plastics going. He wasn't going to let them weld, but he hadn't said anything about using heat guns, right?

She was pretty sure she could whip up a freaking epic heat gun.

If you need anything, including but not limited to more coffee, ideas for your sculpture, help with larger materials, more coffee, a hand finding something in particular, and more coffee.

Dean's poking around the junkyard some, too, but he shouldn't be too difficult to find. He's limiting his scrounging to wide-open areas so that the students can spot him if they want him.

Re: Talk to Dean! geewhizfellas January 20 2012, 19:09:29 UTC

Ahhh, yes. The junkyard! A nice, innocent field trip, looking for supplies to create art to beautify the world for the masses! But little did the students of Mr. Dean McCoppin's Art of Scrap class know that a great and terrible evil lurked among them and today, it would strike with a vengeance!

Butters came dancing up to Dean, shifting his weight between his feet and looking urgently distressed. "Mr. McCoppin! Ah, I need to go to the bathroom. R-really bad."

Re: Talk to Dean! advanceapology January 21 2012, 01:32:08 UTC

"Right," Dean said, glancing up from a sheet of scrap metal that looked particularly promising. "Bathrooms are that way, in the main office. Pretty sure you don't need a key or anything to get in there."

He wasn't going to begrudge the kid for needing to pee, here.

Re: Talk to Dean! geewhizfellas January 21 2012, 01:54:16 UTC

"Alright," Butters announced, good and loud so everyone could hear it. Because everyone was paying attention, too. "I'm goin' to the bathroom now. If anybody needs me, ah, that's where I'll be."

He moseyed on away, and that was that for a good long few minutes, until, with a great big cackling laugh, Butters dressed in a tinfoil helmet, gauntlets, and a big green cape burst around the corner.

"The time for fun and games is over, feeble-minded fools!" he declared.
