Okay probably tip for anyone with an ear piercing. Carry a wideish rubber band with you (and possibly scissors but if you're at school where I was that might not be necessary) and if you loose the back, cut a small piece off the rubber band and use it as a makeshift back. I discovered this today in the morning at school and it held up the entire day!!

Documentary Module

Life Aquatic (and docs in general) could make an on-the-fly adventure https://youtu.be/uM-BE3p9TUI?t=47 Hasty adaptation of film’s Wikipedia entry:

Players aboard a captain’s aging research vessel includes: chief strategist and financial backer (estranged spouse) best friend and chief xenoesotericist (ghost – deceased: “jaguar fluke”) safety expert and musician who sings songs in native language; first mate who views captain and chief xenoesotericist as father figures.

Mercenaries include: cameraman; frogman; physicist and soundtrack composer; sound man; script girl. Also included is a recent group of unpaid interns from a local university

Each of the below experiences are worth 0.1 levels XP 0 captain’s long-lost scion(?) as well as a reporter join the crew 1 steal tracking equipment from nemesis’ research outpost 2 survive pirates (lose benefactor) 3 towed to port by patrol (lose mercenaries) 4 reacquire mercenaries (social checks vs Loyalty) 5 rescue benefactor (pirate asteroid base scuffle) 6 build survey array from salvage (“jaguar fluke”: at asteroid) 7 bore into asteroid to explore caves for fluke 8 document fluke and return to ship 9 release documentary

Your turn: Within 7 minutes, adapt a movie into a one-shot (or mission). Use only its wikipedia entry for aid.

Cover up the sides and top with cream cheese or icing

Break one of your leftover biscuit halves (from step 2) in half and rub the two new sides together above the ‘cake’, so you get crumbs on the top that look like sprinkles.

Enjoy!
