Eldrid loved scavenging, the whole prospect of it was not new to him - he was very used to going through old things and finding new uses for them, seeing as he was a furnace dog - this was almost like a brisk walk in the sharp, bumpy, broken glass littered park. He was even wagging his tail a little as he meandered, but it was more in attempts to use the small sac of pooled magma held in it as a light, so he could see the excess a little better.
With a strange little glee in his step he meandered until he pretty much tripped over the rolling suitcase and next to the doom buggy, or whatever had remained from it. Lifting himself up, he lightly brushed off his vest, lookng the remains over, ears flicking up and to the side a few times. It was obviously never going to move, the engine and anything that was of worth had already been ripped apart, the mechanics for the fear fuling seemed out and it was just so rusted.
But hey, the mirror seemed pretty good. They were usually well used and the actually mirror aspect was great for other usages. Check.
Figuring that the bag he ahd stumbled over would do good for him now, he wheeled it around also, and stuffed the mirror in the main compartment, contuing along in his little game of 'What can Eldrid find.' After a few moments of rambling around, he picked up a slightly used mop - somewhat used and making him think it was probably one of the school gnomes' poor overused piece of equipment . . .
Even if it was unfortunate, it was good enough for the canine to take along for the time being, sticking it in with his mirror, turning to see what else he could scrounge up before he went to the teacher to come to his findings. . . and then they hit him.
Well no they didn't, but they were there, on the horizon, notso-glittering in the near distance, two beautiful (sort of) pieces of ceramic just sitting there, looking as pristine as the day they were dropped.
Yes.
These would do good.

Julian unwrapped the t-shirt and threw it away, taking with it the shards of the broken bulb. It wasn't a unified point as would be best hoped for, but it was something which was infinitely better than nothing. The base was still too heavy, but not so much that he couldn't carry it and already ideas were forming.
Hefting it with both hands, he brought it over to where Moira was with several other students. He passed Sin on his way and gave her a friendly wave. He still hadn't gotten a chance to talk to her yet, but there was always time (Though his adventures in other lands really should have taught him otherwise). He waited for his turn before speaking.
"Miss Moira, I thought this lamp might be useful," he said, setting it down for the moment. "With the bulb broken like this, it can stab an opponent fairly well, even if it is a bit cumbersome. But it stands pretty well. I could use it to swing around, so that I could use my talons without having to fly and lower the risk of a failed landing. And the base could probably cause some damage to knees and feet."
It was a pretty basic explanation, but it was the best he could come up with.

3 - You find a size large t-shirt advertising some long-defunct bruteball team.
6 - You find a rolling suitcase. The handle is stuck in the fully-extended position.
8 - You find a rubber tire big enough for you to fit through. It smells kind of pungent.
10 - You find a floor lamp with no shade. The bulb is intact but the cord has been sheared off.

"Okay," West said, walking up to Moira with his greasy hand held out in front of him. "I figure I can take summa this," he dragged the fingers of his clean hand through the glop in his opposite palm, "an' smear it all over some guy's face, right? In 'is eyes an' s**t." He demonstrated by waving the grease through the air and jabbing his dirty fingers into his invisible opponent's invisible eye sockets.
"Stuff might be a little flaky, but it doesn't come off easy. I been tryin'." He flicked his hand at the ground, but the gunk stayed put. "Even if it doesn't hurt, it's gonna blind 'em for a while, fer sure."

Sin walked over to a more cleared area and set to work on her electrical cord. She stripped a bit more of the covering from the frayed end so that the metal fibers were exposed like the tip of a whip. Carefully she looped and tied an intricate knot on the end with the plug creating a handle of sorts. Finally she bent and rubbed the metal plug prongs against the hard ground for a bit creating slightly sharper jagged edges to them, but rendering the cord totally useless for it's original purpose. Then again if it had been useful as an electrical cord it probably wouldn't have ended up in the junkyard.
"Professor?" She walked over to Moira to show her what she'd managed.
She blinked as she spotted Julian and offered him a faint smile, but still ugh being seen like this among the rubbish. She still didn't like that one little bit.
"I thought this could be of some use if I had to defend myself, from a distance I think I could manage it like a whip." She snapped the cord out to display it's functionality. "Up close it could be used like so..." She twisted one end around her fingers and the makeshift handle in her other fist showing how she could hold it to strangle someone. "and of course in a pinch..." She made a jabbing motion with the jagged plug prongs, they would make a nasty scratch or puncture if anyone was ever close enough to the little makeshift blades.

Olivia really had wanted to stop their fighting, even if Mia had told her to stay out of it. She didn't know why the reaper wanted her to remain behind them (besides very obvious reasons), they were her friends and they shouldn't get into such things. Because they should really just get along, even though they were pretty polar opposite.
But the chance slipped away like most things, like the tire held in place under her fingers. It fell forward with a thud the minute Andrew threw his flame up to defend himself. Her eyes widened and she could feel her body shaking, wanting to run if things progressed worse. It didn't, thankfully due to Andrew's own escape and Miss Moira's own robot defenses (something she of so would have wanted to see if she wasn't so shell shocked from the flames).
Olivia let out something like a whimper, trying to calm down because she didn't want to run. It would mean all that progress was for nothing. But she wanted to run because, fire. So, she settled on making her way to the ground and pulling her tire close and into a hug.

Maple's brows pushed together in her usual concerned method, but a reassured smile had found its way from Moira's words to her. It was nice to hear such things from a more authoritative figure than a peer sometimes. And it seemed a little more practical. Keep practicing. Even though... that's pretty much ... all she did. And heard a lot. Still, nice even a repeated phrase. She nodded and moved out of the way.
And in time to see Andrew doused in foam. Okay, part of her wanted to really smile at that, maybe a feeling of being justified for his jerky behavior and attitude. She didn't know what he had done, but she knew his temperament and she could only imagine he was to blame. Even just partly, maybe for most of it.
Maybe she should go poke him with a stick or something. But, she wondered if she really cared. Urg, that impossible and mean boil. Why was she headed over to his tree. And now she was poking him with the light bulb end of her lamp. Why did she do these things to herself?

After all that scavenging, Eldrid spent a few more minutes, eyebrows furrowed and hand under his chin, looking over his little mess of items that he had found. How would you use any of this in battle, he wondered, thinking deeply about eveyrthing he held.
"Well, I mean, all together it make a pretty rad car. Like, manually used of course, but . . . only one item hm?" He stated out loud, turning to Moira lightly, tail flicking behind him. "I would think that out of all of them, I would pick the ceramic pot. They're hefty and feel like that - although not the prettiest pots, they seem . . ." thinks a bit. "Effective. I could definitively be able to throw them around, they'd definitively do some damage so."
Miasma let out a smirk as the mop made contact, delighted at Andrew's reaction. He deserved it, that stuck-up jerk. Though when Etzer threw the shirt at him and it went up in flames the moment the flame demon touched it, she felt a little less hostility towards the little brat. Just a little.
"You got what you deserve! You little-"
FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH
The reaper let out a small shriek when the Trashbot appeared out of nowhere, spraying flame-retardant foam everywhere. Fortunately, she had been far enough that it didn't reach her, but... still. A little warning would have been nice.
She paused when she heard a whimper, and turned to see Olivia hunched over, hugging the tire. ... right, the poor ghoul was terrified of fire. Really, Andrew was just shooting himself in the foot the more he kept hanging around her. Part of her wanted to embrace the poor thing, but... there was still the matter of filth, and... With a sigh, she settled for patting the ghoul on the head. "Don't worry, I'm sure he'll behave now."

Moira clapped her hands loudly for silence. "Alright, spookies! You've all done a pretty good job of showing how you'd fight with what you found... now it's time to put it to the test." The zombie reached back and poked one of the headcrabs that, up until now, had been quietly resting on her back. However, at her prod, all three of them reared up on their spindly legs and let out a trio of buzzing shrieks.
The ground began to rumble.
"Don't worry, these won't cause you to dissipate - but you do need to battle them seriously!" Moira explained, solemnly, as the rumbling increased; smaller items began shifting in the junk piles around them, though nothing fell on any student. "Do your best, okay?"
And then the Trashbots burst out from every direction, each one immediately leaping towards a student.
"Good luck!" Moira shouted over the sudden roar and screech of metal...
Quote:
FIGHT!
This is the SECOND and FINAL phase of this class! At this point, no other students can join ant the class is locked to those already in it.
You must DO BATTLE with a single Trashbot using the item you selected - the SPECIFIC METHOD of which is contained below in a quote just for you! Please follow the dice roll and pseudo-FEAR mechanics (if you got a bonus!) within those quotes and fight with them.
DETAILS:
- Trashbots are lumbering piles of metal - they're robots. They take nearly any configuration you can think of, except they are mismatched and disjointed. They are about the height of your student!
- You may only attack YOUR OWN Trashbot. No ganging up on other people's opponents; how will they learn, otherwise?
- You may not attack each other. Trashbots only!
- Your Trashbot's HP and AUTO DAMAGE that you take each turn are determined by your year: ----- Y1 STUDENTS: your Trashbots have 15 HP and do 2 autodamage per turn. ----- Y2 STUDENTS: your Trashbots have 20 HP and do 3 autodamage per turn. ----- Y3 STUDENTS: your Trashbots have 25 HP and do 4 autodamage per turn.
- When either YOU or your TRASHBOT hits 0 HP, you are done! (Note that you do not dissipate at 0 HP. You can't die from this! If you hit 0 HP the Trashbot just stops moving and powers down.)
- You MUST use the dice and any attack bonuses given below. Please check and read to make sure you know what your dice/etc. are!! (And please, please no complaints about them - as long as you complete this phase as well you will get the learned ability. It is not dependent on how well you do, only that you actually finish!)
- You must RP your character as RPing primarily with the weapon they chose. It's not exactly training in using unusual resources if you just punch everything, is it?
- FEAR ATTACKS ARE STILL LOCKED DOWN. This is due to the status effect over all of Amityville at this time.
If you have any OOC questions about this please PM me and I will be happy to answer them!! Have fun!

Mei covered her ears momentarily from the loud rumble. Eyes narrowing as the Trashbots broke through. Memories of being dragged under large shower heads and drenched with cold water came flooding back.
Oh yes. Revenge~
She sized up her own personal Trashbot. Watching as it's metallic arms flailed and it made wheezing and buzzing noises. Was that smoke coming out of it's...head area?
Well perhaps she had a defunct bot. Or was it just trying to lull her into a false sense of security? Could the Trashbots really be that devious?
Shaking the thoughts from her head she pulled back her long sleeves and clutched her mopchucks in one hand. "Keeeyyaaaaaaaa~~!" Letting out a little war cry she sprinted towards the bot. Ducking a few arm flails. Though one did give her a good smack on the forearm as she protected her head. Hopping around the bot, she let her mopchucks fly! Spinning them around in circles as she got in close for a few good wacks.
West's first thought upon seeing the trashbot rolling toward him was, where does she get all of these things, but that soon became the least of the demon's concerns. A metal arm flicked toward him, slicing at his clothing and provoking a low growl from the boil.
"Let's get this done then." He smeared his fingers through the grease in his palm and lunged forward, smooshing it into what passed for the construct's eyes.
"Did that... do anythin'?" It wasn't lost on West that he was essentially asking a robot if it was okay. He didn't expect an answer, and he wasn't disappointed.
What Moria said did comfort the serpent-dragon boil a bit, but just a bit. AJ was still holding his lump, awkwardly standing there when Andrew started a small fire and got extinguished. Nah. Not Andrew, but the fire. The flame demon was dunked in foam, as if he made some nasty rolls on the snow before. "A-Andrew- ?" AJ wasn't sure if that boil was the boil he knew, but climbing up a tree did look like something the demon would do. "Why- why are you up there?" He was avoiding to laugh out, really. It wasn't good to tease the poor boil now.
Turning to the other, he smiled to the two ghouls. "Good to see you again, you are Olivia, right? And - " He shifted to look at the new ghoul with butterflies around. "Who's that lovely ghoul here? May I know your name, miss?"
Oh yea! This Trashbot might not have been one of the ones that was used during her exam. And perhaps the revenge was a bit silly and unfounded. But she smelt like wet dog and garbage for a week.
As she lunged for another set of wacks with her mopchucks, the Trashbot spun around and sent her reeling a few feet back with a smack to the stomach. Mei clutched her abdomen for a moment. They wouldn't dissipate them but they could sure still pack a punch for sure.
She grit her teeth before hopping from foot to foot around the Trashbot again. Stabbing a couple times at it's side. Perhaps a few kidney shots. If Trashbot had kidneys that is.
She dodged an arm here. Some other Trashbot thing that flailed around there. It was a good thing that Meixiang was so nimble. This thing was just flailing every which way!
Dodge, dip, duck, dive and dodge.
The small ghoul worked her way around. A few scrapes and bumps but nothing that would deter her. As she got in close, the Jiang Shi slid around the Trashbot's side until she was quickly behind it, Clenching her mopchucks together in one hand she drew her arm back before stabbing at the arm join of the Trashbot repeatedly. Maybe the wood mop handle couldn't slice through steel like it could flesh, but at least she could pick at the joints and more exposed parts of the Trashbot.
A kill it with bug bites tactic.
Either way it was doing a pretty good job she thought.
Perhaps it was all that extra dance training. Or perhaps it was because she felt more confident with something weapon like to help her with fighting. Or it was just some pent up aggression that she needed to get out. Not that she was aggressive normally. Either way, Mei was feeling it.
Perhaps a bit too much.
Coming at her Trashbot from the front, she ducked around it's arms and slammed her shoulder into it. Unclasping her mopchucks and giving the Trashbot's 'head' a few good smacks before jumping back. Another lunge forward, she nearly walked up it's chest. Bracing herself on it's shoulders before bringing her mopchucks down to smash against it's head once more.
With a little jump she dismounted and watched as the bot sputtered and shut down. A few little pops and beeps were all it made before all motion stopped.
Mei stood there triumphant. Dusting off her clothes before slipping her mopchucks into her sash. Ok so it was only a Trashbot but she still felt kind of bad a**.
He could think of worst things that they could be fighting, and he took his position behind his makeshift shield weapon. He really didn't enjoy fighting but it was for a class.
He pushed out with his shield as the bot attacked him, but barely managed to hold it off.
