It was rather hard sometimes for Alex to know just what was going through Yin's mind, and why the weremantis was suddenly acting so uncomfortable around him. He wasn't touching him, wasn't making any remarks that might have had double meanings. The smile slipped off of his face in favor of a frown, and he swiveled around by turning on his heel to see who Yin was gesturing towards.
"Oh her? That's just Leo. I'm helping her get caught up with her studies in my spare time...which is hard to come by, lately." Still frowning, and shoving his hands into his pockets as he gave the other boil a sidelong look.
"Really, Yin? I'm sure she was not offended that I gave her a wave instead of shouting to her across the yard." With a sigh, knowing already that this was a losing argument, he took one hand out of his pocket and gestured towards the girl to try and get her to come over and chat, and so that he could properly introduce her to Yin as well.

"Hellooooo, spookies~!" came a cheerful voice from inside the Creepateria proper; a moment later, the gnomes parted to let Moira through. The headcrab zombie looked at the gathered students with a bright smile, then waded into their midst and delivered a hearty slap to Freya's back. "No sleeping on the job, now! We've got work to do!!"
That done, she turned and walked back to stand just outside the doors that led inside. More gnomes were streaming out of the building now, carrying large cauldrons with frosted surfaces, big wooden spoons, crates filled with bottles, and... more bug nets? "Now, spookies - the art of foraging is a super-duper important Adventure Skill! So is infusing a little bit of FEAR into what you make, to make it even more fortifying and strong! Maybe some of you took Malcolm's class and have made FEAR candies for your pets, hmm?" She snagged a spoon from a passing gnome and brandished it. "My little gnomey friends, now - they have families just like you do! Mostly. And their gnomelings are having a super-fun camp this next week. Camp Bugalumps!" The spoon smacked into the sign-up list. "And they need plenty of Bug Juice!! It'll be good practice, spookies, and you can brew some up for yourself later, too! Now go ahead and pair up, spookies... once you've got a partner, come pick up a recipe and your supplies! I've got prizes for the top juicers..."
DELICIOUS BUG PUNCH MANUFACTURE Moira needs some delicious bug punch for the little gnomelings attending Camp Bugalumps! This requires you to work in two-person teams. STEP ONE: Select your partner! Coordinating with your partner is important, as your team score will determine what prize you get. If you cannot find a partner, please ask Moira (quote me when you do this) and I will provide a gnome NPC to assist you. STEP TWO: After pairing up, please pick a team name. For all your posts from now on, post your team name in a format like this: TEAM BUGALUMPS: MOIRA & GNOMEY STEP THREE: Divide up the tasks! One of you must catch bugs while the other must brew the punch base. You can work on these tasks simultaneously (i.e. you don't have to wait for bugs to be caught before you can start brewing.). IF YOU ARE BUG-CATCHING:Roll 1d6 in each post you make until you have a full bug net - that's 6 bugs! Keep track of how many rolls it took you to get your 6 bugs. Here is what each number signifies: 1. You lose one bug! 2. You catch a delicious butterfly! It's so beautiful. So... smashable. Mmm. 3. You launch yourself after a grasshopper and fall over. You do not catch any bugs, but you don't lose any either. 4. Your net has a bad hole in it! You lose two bugs!! The horror. 5. You catch two plump and tasty bugs. 6. You catch three delicious, juicy bugs! IF YOU ARE BASE-MAKING:Moira has given you an ice-cold cauldron, some mysterious bottles, and a huge wooden spoon. You must roll 1d8 to create a proper base! A proper base contains 8 pints of liquid, so you must roll until you have 8 pints in your cauldron. Follow the numbers below, and keep track of how many rolls it took you to get your 8 pints. 1. You stir a little too energetically... the cauldron tips! You lose two pints! 2. You stir in some delicious fresh water. +1 pint. 3. Swamp slime? ... It smells terrible. But it takes up a lot of space! +2 pints. 4. The reek rising from your cauldron makes you fall over; in the time it takes for you to get back up, some of your base mysteriously vanishes. You lose one pint! 5. You sprinkle in some sparkling dust that gives the base a carbonation-like quality. No pints gained... but none lost either. Fair enough. 6. You shake in a huge blob of dried bug guts. They expand in the cauldron, giving you +3 pints. 7. You splash in a bunch of rusty-looking water. +2 pints. 8. You lose control of a bottle, pouring in so much liquid that the cauldron overflows! When all is said and done, you have 4 pints in your cauldron, regardless of how much you had before. WHEN YOU ARE BOTH FINISHED: Time to mix your goodies together! You must coordinate with your partner to do this section. Put your bugs into your base and stir together! Each participant must roll 1d8 to focus and concentrate their FEAR into their bug punch. Pay attention... 1 is the worst, and 8 the best! Roleplay out your student's reaction to how well they did at stirring and imbuing FEAR into the punch. YOUR TOTAL SCORE: When you are finished with all the steps above, one partner must make a completion post in which they present their bug punch to Moira. Please put this code in your post: [b]TEAM (TEAMNAME): (CHARACTER) & (CHARACTER) - PUNCH UP![/b]
[b]# of Bug-Catching Tries:[/b] [b]# of Base-Making Tries:[/b] [b]FEAR Fusion Total:[/b]
[quote="Sosiqui"][/quote] You have until Tuesday, July 17th at 9:00pm PST to finish!

Team Zombait - Alexander and Yǐn Cáng
His spare time was hard to come by recently? Well with his job and then all the time he spent with him...well that was rather upsetting. Especially if the zomboil felt obligated to spend time with him. "Perhaps you should limit the number of days you come over then," he decided with a touch of finality as the ghoul, Leo, approached.
But the ghoul in question seemed...well not entirely happy to be there. She was fidgeting a bit, but if she was friends with Alexander...she must have a problem with him. And it was because of him that Alexander had waved her over, and now she probably was judging him as only a ghoul could judge. But she sounded happy...right? Still, it was stressful, as dipped his head in acknowledgement to her. "Greetings Miss Leo. And to you as well Miss Meixiang." The undead girl had approached, and he did his best to give a sharp-toothed smile to them both.
Now the professor, Moira was there, giving out instructions. Bug juice? To some bugs that might have sounded horrifying, but so long as it was not a mantis getting juiced...well every other bug was food for Yin, this task actually sounded delicious. Drinkable bugs...without even waiting to make sure that Alexander would be his partner, or to help him come up with a team name, Yin just left to get a net to catch those bugs.
Mmmm a grasshopper! This one looked particularly plump. Yin lunged for it and then belatedly remembered the net. Trying to use it set him off balance and he fell. No bugs here, just a bit of scraped up weremantis.
No bugs, roll 1
Ephebe~ At least they got to meet? o3o

TEAM ZOMBAIT : ALEX AND YIN
Alex turned his head slightly to give the weremantis a hard stare before Leo approached. "But I don't want to limit the number of days that I come over!" He protested, "I enjoy spending time with you and I'll continue to do so. Unless, of course, you don't want me around?" Maybe that was the problem. Maybe his boilfriend was subtly hinting that he needed some space. Well, there wasn't exactly much time to discuss it since Leo was in front of them both now, looking rather shy and apprehensive.
"Hey, Leo! This is Yǐn Cáng." He was nice enough to use Yin's full name for once, and made a gesture towards the other boil. Of course, he didn't mention the fact that they were dating, because it seemed like most people already knew, or just assumed, so it felt rather redundant to do so. He was offering the ghoul a large smile, and then Mei approached, and he gave the same to her.
"Mei!" He said, happily, having not noticed her arrival until just now. "How have you been?"
Of course, visiting and chatting would have to wait, it seemed, as Moira had arrived and was giving instructions for what they would be doing in the class itself. Bug juice? That didn't exactly sound appetizing. And they were going to have to work in partners as well. Alexander had just turned to ask Yin if he wanted to partner up, only to see that the weremantis had already gone off to grab a net and was already well on his way.
".....Well okay then! It was nice chatting with you ghouls but I guess my partner is eager to get started." He grinned at them both before shuffling off to get his own supplies. Oh, and Yin was leaving him to make the team name by himself as well. Amazing.
The zomboil grabbed up his things and found a clear space to get to work at, grumbling something under his breath about how a little bit of consideration on Yin's part and possibly taking a moment to talk instead of marching off to get things done wouldn't have killed him.
He scribbled the team name on a card and stuck in in front of the cauldron, not even giving a damn about it and just writing down the first ridiculous thing that came to mind.
