Laura looked around the classroom from her postion at the back, and saw that no one didn't have a partner. But that was ok, she'd wait, and whilst she waited, she pondered how to get out of being robbed without violence.

IMPOSSIBLE! Or so she though. Laura began to flick through the textbook.

Kita looked up from her notes. Wait she thought, Partners?! She looked around and found that everyone already had a partner. Great. Simply great she thought. She got up and walked around, finding anyone who might need a partner. Panicking slightly, she saw a girl sitting alone, flicking through a textbook. Kita smiled and approached her. "Hi! I'm Kita. Do you want to be partners?" she asked, realising she'll be embarrassing herself if this girl already had a partner...

Grinning, he glanced at her with eyes were filled with amusement, "Do they look like a box? Really? Anyways, yeah you are right, just pretend you are getting in a box-y thingy that WE call a car." Blake locked his lips, trying hard to not laugh out loud. But one thing was bugging him, he was robber NOT a theif and a robber wouldn't just go and steal a lipstick. He should have some sort of weapon, maybeee a Gun?

Grrr, he so wasn't in a mood of explaining Sylvia what a gun was, "Do you know what a gun is?" He can use a knife but meh, they were in a muggle studies lesson sooo things should be as muggleish as possible.

However, how will Sylvia defend herself if he had a gun? Hmmm, this was tricky but verrry common in the muggle world. Infact this sort of robbery happens the most. "Lets add a little to the environment shall we?" He asked, folding his arms across his chest. "Act like you just walked into a dark and deserted parking lot. A parking lot is a place to park or station a car, they can be anywhere but mostly at places like shopping malls, office buildings, restaurants etc."

Pausing for a moment to plan the scenario further, Blake continued, " Annnd I'll be hiding behind a pillar, waiting to attack YOU, perhaps with a GUN. Don't worry, I don't have an actual gun, my wand should do the trick, hmm okaay?" He assured her and took a deep breath, smoothing his hair, "We can use the desk as a car, what do you think?" Smiling at her, he waited for her response, if she didn't like it, they can go with the Plan B...



"I don't know, you brought them up." Sylvia folded her arms. How was SHE meant to know about cars and things? She nodded, and moved the desk correctly so it was beside her, this was ow her beautiful pink car. Hehe. Wait, could cars be different colours? Anyway ...

"Yes, and I hope you don't have one." Sylvia said quite warily. Naaah, he wasn't a trained killer, she'd beat him up if he was. Sylvia listened at Blake set the scene. She was in a ... parking lot, with a car, in the dark. She knew she'd never be in that situatuion, ever. "Oooh! Can I have lots of shopping bags? Instead of stealing my lipstick, you steal one of my shopping bags." Whatever, as long as he stole something.

"Let's go for it!" Sylvia had to think of a way of to stop him robbing her WITHOUT violence. She needed the textbook. Luckily, Blake's was still on the desk, so she flipped it open to the self defense bit and followed the words with her finger.

"All right." Nataly answered, trying to look calm. She didn't know how to defend herself without force! Screaming at the top of her lungs was not an option. "OK, lets start."

'start? now?' Lyra blinked for a couple of seconds, unsure of what to do. What would muggle muggers do? Lyra would have used her wand if she was a crazy person and according to Shana she was Lyra had a little trouble not grabbing her wand but controlled herself and it stayed perfectly safe in her wrist holster.

"Alright, just uh..just pretend that your alone and i'll ....attack you?" Man this was hard. They had to act a scene and Lyra had no idea what she was ought to do. "Ok just..turn around cause most muggers attack you from behind..i think"

"All right." Nataly answered her, turning her back to Lyra. The situation was really awkward. Both Nataly and Lyra knew nothing about muggle robberies, and probably looked like two lost idiots in the middle of Knockturn Alley.

Natka looked around the class, searching for someone to catch her eye. Oh bother, as always she'd been too distracted taking notes to have a look round the moment the professor mentioned partners, and now she was too late, again.

She'd have to have a walk around and try to find someone hiding behind a desk, or something. Just her luck.

Looking up as she heard a voice behind her, Laura shut the textbook with a smile. "Sure," she said, standing up. Wait, this girl.. was asking her, right? She was now, Laura said to herself. kita looked nice, and at least Laura wasn't on her own now. But she was forgetting something, and she paused for a second, thinking.

Oh, right. "I'm Laura," she added, before looking around at the varius partners. Laura just hoped that kita knew what she was doing, because Laura had no idea how to get out of bing robbed without using spells or violence. "So... um, do you know what we're supposed to do?"

Shrug.

For the past minute all Rayedem ever did was look around. Watching. Okay, so he got it now. All they have to do was pretend. Considering Tammy's statement that she wasn't too thinky fasty, he decided to take the liberty of creating the plot. Nothing too fancy, though.

"Alright, time to abandon all pride, I guess. Act.. Just act," he muttered, still looking at the only pair who seemed to have begun acting. Finally he looked back at Tammy, "So, er, you'll be like walking, carrying something, and then I'll come from behind you and snatch your--er--something?" he asked, hoping that his plot didn't sound so silly.

TIME TO ACT?
TO ABANDON ALL PRIDE!

EH. This was NOT going to be very attractive, or amusing. "My bag maybe?" She grinned and picked up her bag from under the desk, and draped it over her shoulder, and started to hum. "Just 'tend I gotta earphones in my ears or summin. AAAND then come stealy my baaag."

He wouldn't steal it for real would he?
That bag had her nice pretty, diamond encrusted diary, that had nothing written in it at this moment.

Fira 09-27-2009 01:04 PM

Josh jumped where he sat as the class got into act. ''Wha-...'' 'What was happening?' . He stared around looking confused only to realise that he was in a class and had been sleeping on the text book. The pieces in his mind slowly getting combined he remembered walking in the Muggle Studies classroom and taking a 'self-defense' text book. But what was all this clatter? At the next moment his question was answered by a student who yelled for a partner. 'They are looking for partners? He jumped on his feet. Partners for what?' he checked some pages of the textbook 'Self defense!' he cursed at himself He knew a lot about that for his dad was a muggle plus he was a cop! and he slept during a class which possibly would be his best one. Darn!

Rayedem grinned back at her. He was glad that she's in this. Or not. He didn't know. Oh, whatever. For the sake of house points--that is, if they're going to get house points for this. "Of course! So.. I'll start from over there, I guess," he said, pointing a spot on the corner of the room, "and then I'll just run and grab your bag, er, because that's what robbers do?"

Wait, do robbers do that? He sounded more like a pickpocket. What-everrr. He walked past Tammy, getting ready on his position.

Tammy giggled once more, and nodded her head. "You better be expecting a bit of a scrabble to get this bag. 'Cos I ent one of those people that will just let it go. Earplugs might help you."

EH. She was worried she would die in this lesson..

Rayedem was thinking. Thinking. Earplugs? Is she gonna scream? Well.. It's gonna be ok, his teachers yell at him all the time. Okay, now..

"Ready?" Rayedem called.

And without waiting for Tammy's confirmation, he ran towards her; hoping he could use the element of surprise. That should make everything more realistic, right? And then he was seizing Tammy's bag, pulling it from her arm but didn't take it--Tammy's got to defend herself first.

"Y-OMILORDY." Tammy squealed as the bag draped around her arm got a tug. Pulling it too with her own arm she squealed again, a dramatic "HEEELLLLPPPP." And continued wiggling the bag, trying to get it out of his grasp. "Thats mine yeah? Go get your own. MIIIINEEE." Grabby tighter.

Realesing the bag with only one of her hands, Tammy user the other one to push Rayedem away from her. Wasn't mean force. SHE WAS DEFENDING HERSELFF.

Oh goodness she meant it.

Good news, even though Tammy was a girl, she was six years older than him--that ought to have something to do with strength. She won the bag easily. Bad news, Rayedem's ears hurt.

"Ow, okay!" he frowned, rubbing his ears, "That was quite a scream. But the last push didn't count as force, did it?" he asked, looking around for the professor, hoping he didn't even notice. He lowered his hands from his ears, and said, "Er.. Done? Your turn to be the robber?"

To abandon all pride wasn't easy. This whole thing had been SO embarrassing.

Mikaela sighed. Partners. Again. She walked up to a girl who seemed to be alone.
"Need a partner?" She asked and glanced at her.

PadfootAndTheWolf 09-27-2009 01:47 PM

Meh Reh! :D
 
Chris listened to Professor Dumont's instructions and then turned to Xander. "Ok so I will be the victim first." he said with a smile. He tood there and pretended to be nervous as Xander would turn on him. He had a plan that he kne whe would do if a robber tried to rob him and he was a muggle. He put his hand in his pocket and threw a few galleons on the ground and said, "Take it! Just don't hurt me!"

He then almost laughed. "That's a good thing to do right?"

Grinning Tammy patted her bag as she won it from the rayedemROBBERRRR.

"Course it didn't, wasn't violence either. I just didnt want me bag broken did i?" Another sheepish grin. "I have to be the robber now?" EH. THast was NOT ATRRACTIVE. And neither was sneaking around, because she couldn't do that anyway. NUHUH.

Rayedem chuckled, he could barely take the fact that they're being so silly.

"Yeah, you're the robber now. I think it might be better to use my bag instead, yours was scary, you know, it's like you'd kill me if it tore or snapped accidentally." he said, pulling his own Nike backpack from his desk. "Let's begin then? The sooner we end this, the better?" he smiled, looking around worriedly at the other pairs.

Chuckling herself, Tammy nodded. "Of course, I would just set my minions on you Rayedem. Lets use your bag, for your personal safety." She smirked, joking totally and headed off in the direction he had started in on their before turn.

"Ready?"

HPgirl 09-27-2009 02:08 PM

Sky stood alone, not having anyone to partner with. She sighed. Just her luck.

"Would you please, um, be my partner? If you want, of course! Like, you don't have to, or anything. I was just wondering, if you would. Because we need partners, and I don't have one and-" Nikki realised she was rambling, and must have looked SO stupid right now. She finished rather lamely "and..and yeah, I guess."

Reeeeeal smooth, Nikki. Cuz the girl's totally wanna partner with an idiot who keeps rambling, is half her height, and is totally spacy and twitty. Nice one. She mentally hit herself.

Adelaide looked at the girl she looked to be 11 or 12 but Adelaide understood they both needed partners for this class. She extended her hand to the girl. "Sure my name is Adelaide" The girl looked to only four foot even next to the younger student Adelaide looked like a giant as she was already tall for a girl as it was. "I think that the point of Muggle defense is to show that no matter how over shadowed by your opponent you can still defend yourself" She hoped this would ease the young girls anxiety.

stubbyone 09-27-2009 02:24 PM

Sara looked around. Now this was a subject that she could understand... after all, her Aunt Peggy had been mugged last year, while walking through the park.

"Anyone need a partner?" Sara asked.

HPgirl 09-27-2009 02:33 PM

Sky looked up. She seemed nice, but she couldn't help but think it would be funny if she beat her. She grinned. "Thanks, Adelaide."

"Well shall we begin?" Adelaide looked around the classroom to see what others were doing. She saw lots of interesting ideas floating around "why don't you be the attacker first and I will be the victim" This way she was less likely to hurt the girl.

And...the person being robbed has to defend themselves in a way. Or something like that. And then we swap. What kind of robbery do you want to do?"
