TEAM ONE AND A HALF BLONDES: FREYA & HEL DID I MENTION FREYA HATES BUGS. She was determined to complete this task as quickly as possible. She knew she didn't like this teacher for a reason.. and finding herself in a room filled with bugs was exactly the kind of reason she should have expected. She saw a lovely green grasshopper hop by, and she turned to try and catch it with her net. Instead, she caught a nearby spider, and screamed so hard she flew her net up in the air. ..And now she needed another net. Quote: 3. You launch yourself after a grasshopper and fall over. You do not catch any bugs, but you don't lose any either. Bug Count: 2

TEAM ONE AND A HALF BLONDES: FREYA & HEL Somehow, Freya could tell her sister was laughing at her. She didn't know how.. but she FELT IT IN HER BONES. She had to stop acting like a child, and just catch the bugs. That was all. Just catch. The bugs. She walked over to a plant, turned a leaf around, and saw two very big beetles holding on harmlessly. The poor things didn't do anything to deserve this fate.. but this was the easiest way to capture bugs. Freya pulled the leaf off and put the entire thing in her net. Bug Count: 4 Quote: 5. You catch two plump and tasty bugs.

TEAM ONE AND A HALF BLONDES: FREYA & HEL At least there was one bug in this world that did not utterly disgust her. Freya smiled when she saw the flutter of butterflies nearby, and she waited for them to land in the flowers before reaching out, very carefully. She'd caught butterflies before - it wasn't hard. Somehow, they figured your hand was just as good as a flower, until they couldn't find the nectar. She scooped up one of the pretty ones, and gently dumped it into her net. Quote: 2. You catch a delicious butterfly! It's so beautiful. So... smashable. Mmm. Bug Count: 5

TEAM ONE AND A HALF BLONDES: FREYA & HEL ..And then she did the same with another. Her net was full! Freya whooped in victory, almost dropping the net as she did so, and then scuttled back to her sister to see how she was faring with her task. Quote: 2. You catch a delicious butterfly! It's so beautiful. So... smashable. Mmm

TEAM AVATAR: Danny & Amphi!
So they put the bugs together and mixed it and then proudly showed the headcrabbed teacher their valiant efforts...
It actually looked...really bad....
But it would make sense with two ditz....though Danny was the best bug catcher EVER... *_*
# of Bug-Catching Tries: 2 - Danny
# of Base-Making Tries: 28 - Amphi (OTL)
FEAR Fusion Total: 3 - Danny, 2 - Amphi = 5 all together (lmfao)

Team STARS AND RAINBOWS - Sheridan and PetroSheridan almost grimaced as he watched Petro, wondering if he should try to help or at least offer some encouragement. He thought of doing so several times, but in the end decided it would only hurt Tro's pride. So he was left watching, or maybe he was trying not to watch, wandering around after other bugs, maybe if he caught more it would help, but no, if he did that he'd only lose the ones he had in his already full net. He had wandered back toward Petro as the cauldron seemed to almost overflow. Whoa. A grin at his friend. "What was impressive." Okay, so now that they had the base and the bugs, he supposed it was time to combine them. Okay then, should he just drop the bugs in? Hmm, maybe one at a time. Joining Tro at the cauldron, he took one of the spoons, then reached into his net to pull out one of the bugs (that pesky grasshopper could go first), dropped it in, then stirred. Another bug, stirring, bug, stirring, and so on, until he had dropped in the last bug (a colorful butterfly). Hey, that seemed to work well, or at least he thought it did. Bugs: 6/6 Combining points: 7

TEAM UNDEAD HORSE: Mei & Leo! "Right, I can do that!" She'd rather been hoping to make the base, but perhaps it was best she did the part she at least had a bit of experience in. Even if it was old, years-ago experience. But for Team Undead Horse she'd do anything, booyeah! Properly psyched up, she sent Mei one last happy grin before making her way over to the nets and then outside to catch the bugs. "Good luck to you, comrade awesome!" Outside, she watched the other students attempting to catch bugs with a bit of apprehension. She'd said she could do this, but could she really? Well... there wasn't anything for it but to try. Dawdling wouldn't do any good at all. Not too far away she spotted a grasshopper, suitably sitting in the grass and with footsteps as quiet and unobtrusive as she could make them, Leo snuck closer. Closer, closer... almost there! The innocent little grasshopper was still sitting on its blade of grass, almost too easy to catch, she thought. Oh well. It was for a good cause! She sprung forward, slamming her bugnet down over the area the grasshopper was in. So easy it was almost a crime! Buoyed by her good hunting, it took nearly a minute to realise that the bug was not in the net. Oh crappers. But she'd been so sure! Yayoi forgot to quote you, derp

TEAM UNDEAD HORSE: Mei & Leo! Well, this time she'd do better! And somewhat surprisingly... she actually did. She'd spotted a little herd of beetles congregating on a rock that seemed to have been recently overturned, and quite aware that her over-thinking had cost her the grasshopper, she swung the net down over the rock. And panted. And looked quite baffled when she saw that she'd actually managed to catch three whole bugs. Three! Maybe there was hope for her after all...

TEAM UNDEAD HORSE: Mei & Leo! The next victim was a beautiful butterfly that had the idiocy to flutter near her. Another easy catch. Really, Leo was beginning to think she might even have a knack for this thing; but then again, thinking like that often turned the whole ball around and jacked up everything. So she'd approach this like a proper hunter, keep the pride down and focus on her task. Onwards!

TEAM UNDEAD HORSE: Mei & Leo! Yep, she'd been right. She'd gotten too confident, hadn't even noticed the hole in her net, and there went the pretty butterfly and one of the beetles. Drat. She stomped a foot, frustrated that things were going so well and then not so well at all. Really, world, really? Couldn't she just have been allowed to be good at this thing, catch her bugs quickly and actually do well in a class for once? Ugh, fine. Vaguely aware that she was acting like a petulant child, Leo made a quick knot of the hole in the net, hoping that'd keep more bugs from escaping. And hoping she could actually catch more bugs.

TEAM UNDEAD HORSE: Mei & Leo! The knot didn't hold. As soon as she was swinging her net to catch another butterfly (maybe even the same one?), the knot unfolded and her last two beetles escaped into the grass, quickly fleeing before she could re-catch them. Right. So obviously she needed a better knot. Making a sturdier knot took a bit of time, but she figured it was time well spent - no point trying to catch bugs if they could just go right out the net any time they wanted.

TEAM UNDEAD HORSE: Mei & Leo! The new knot worked much better than the old one, and Leo quickly caught three more beetles by turning over a rock and snatching the bugs that crawled around where it'd lain. Score for team Undead Horse!

TEAM UNDEAD HORSE: Mei & Leo! And then just as she was putting the last bug into her net, it opened its wings and flew away. Okay. She could totally have prevented that with some faster reflexes, but a bit late now, wasn't it? Sighing, she made sure the other two bugs were at least secured in the net before going off to find another one.

Now that it was time to begin bug hunting, Astra was super excited; she loved hunting for bugs, and considered herself very good at this task. And maybe if they made enough, she could have some for herself? That would be awesome! Except, there was just a small problem. Everyone else had found themselves a partner...except her. She looked around again encase there was someone else, but it seemed everyone else had moved off. "umm...Excuse me miss.." Astra approached the headcrab zombie professor, looking a little saddened "..I don't have...a partner.."

TEAM UNDEAD HORSE: Mei & Leo! It was the butterfly from earlier! The one she'd caught and then lost to the stupid hole in her net - really, weren't there gnomes to manage the upkeep of these nets? Anyway, the butterfly: Leo lunged, frantically throwing her net out and... caught it! "Yes!" She was quite jubilant at her success. Now she was halfway to having all her bugs caught!
