Tremble Foolish Mortals: The Gods and You, Class Ten [Period 5, Thursday]

[sideburnsofwar.livejournal.com]

Ares was fiddling with the controls of the dangershop as the class trooped in.

"Monotheism," he said, finally. "Clearly one of the worst ideas ever. Spawned by egotistic, cowardly gods who can't take a little competition when it comes to getting worshippers."

In case the class couldn't tell this was something of a sore spot for him. "And that's pretty much all I have to say on the matter."

"However," he said, touching a control and causing a vast CGI-ed structure to appear. "Since I'm under contract to deliver a lesson more than one paragraph long, today you're going to be recreating a battle between minions of one of these One Gods as set down in the mindless blatherings of that blonde which I only read to see what she wrote about me."

"Half of you are going to be demons, the other half angels," he said, and waved a hand. "You can pick which side you want to be on, and I've configured the dangershop so that once you've put on the provided costumes, the wings won't just be decorative. You'll be able to fly like you're doing wirework and hopefully fight while flying as well."

Rikku swung her foam sword around, testing the weight of it. And grinned. "Hey, don't taunt the angels. We get vicious when we're mad."

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

"Vicious angels?" Annette taunted, testing her own sword by slashing it this way and that. "I've never heard of a vicious angel before. Maybe you're just a devil in disguise? Hmm?"

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[the_merriest]

Rikku stretched her wings once, twice, and then pushed off the ground. Ooooh, fun.

She tossed her sword from one hand to the other, and back again. "Hey, I don't gotta be evil to kick your butt."

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that tossing the sword thing from hand to hand was impressive and Annette grinned at Rikku, whispering, "Great moves." Then she cleared her throat and flapped her wings.

"You can't kick my butt. My wings are prettier than yours."

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[the_merriest]

Rikku grinned, giggling. "Hey, this is what I do," she whispered back, striking a pose.

"Your wings are all bat-like and evil. Mine are, like, holy. And good. And your wings aren't anywhere near your butt anyway."

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette stifled a giggle. "Mine are bat-like-graceful. Not evil but...darkly tempting." Yeah, that sounded great! Woot! "Yeah they are, kind of sort of." Annette peered over her shoulder and actually tried to look at her butt. Didn't work, but she did see that the very tips of her wings came close to her butt.

"Do too!" Annette brandished her sword. "En garde!"

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[the_merriest]

"Your wings, whatever they're like, are going down! Touche!" Rikku shouted, laughing. And she zipped forward - hey, fighting mid-air wasn't so different from fighting underwater! - and made a few quick sideswipes at Annette with her foam sword.

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Ouch!" Annette whined, totally faking it, but hey, it was fun! "You are so going to get it you holier-than-thou thing with a sword." She snorted. "It's not even flaming or anything. Don't angels have flaming swords?" She thought she heard that somewhere or something.

Annette flapped her wings and thrust forward, towards Rikku, aiming for her heart! "Take that!"

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[the_merriest]

Rikku giggled. "It's foam! If they set it on fire, it'll melt!"

She blocked Annette's heart shot and started thrusting and parrying like in old swordfighting movies. "Evil is totally gonna get it! You're all just jealous because good is peachy-keen!"

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Good point. You win!" Not really. Annette was just teasing because she was flying and wanting to keep hitting something or some angel with her magnificent foamy sword. Rikku to be exact. She also wouldn't mind lobbing off the angel head of Steerpike. But that was just in her mind where she could have fun with the images.

"What a load of crap angel freak!" Annette did her best to parry then thrust back in short little stabs. "You're just jealous cause all the boys in the yard think demon girls are sexxxaaayyy!"

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[the_merriest]

Rikku laughed, continuing their back-and-forth sparring. Which was way too fun. "You're right! But they're just using you! Everyone knows demon girls are tramps! We angel girls don't do those kinda things!"

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Careful, angel dork, your halo is sitting askew!" Annette swiped above Rikku's head, pretending to upset said halo, giggling.

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[the_merriest]

Rikku gasped and reached for her head. "My halo! Nooooo!"

She watched the invisible imaginary halo fall off and narrowed her eyes mock-seriously at Annette. "Nobody messes with the halo! You're gonna get it now!"

And then burst into giggles as she moved in for another attack-parry-thrust.

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

...and Annette giggled and totally whipped around, flapping her wings and flying around in circles to try and through Rikku off, or make her dizzy one.

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[the_merriest]

Ha-ha! Rikku countered by ... also going in really fast circles! Being hyper gave you a pretty high tolerance for dizziness.

Hopefully.

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

(throw even *headdesk*)

"Crap!" Her plan was backfiring and Annette's head began to swim a little too fast. Flapping her wings, she tried to keep an eye on Rikku, but was failing.

She sort of floated back to the ground and weaved a little where she stood. The tip of her sword pointing downward in her lax hand.

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[the_merriest]

"Haha!" Rikku announced triumphantly, swooping down towards Annette. "Now I've got you! And I'll ... whoa." Okay, things were a little spinny, maybe...

She wasn't sure which direction was up, exactly, but it probably wasn't the one she just crash-landed in.

"When ... I get up? I'm ... totally gonna get you," she managed.

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"When you stop moving? I'm totally going to kick your butt." Annette looked a little green. She dropped her sword, smacked her hand over her mouth, and blinked rapidly.

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[the_merriest]

Rikku stayed on the ground. It seemed to move less when she stayed still.

"Hey! Maybe this is what we're supposed to learn about monothe- mono- thing. It doesn't work and you just get all dizzy."

She squinted over in Annette's general direction, although there were a few of her so that was hard. "Maybe we should put aside our ... difference-thingies. Work together."

That would be an evil grin. "And go beat the crap out of everybody else."

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"That? Is the best idea ever, Rikku! Good and Evil together! Conquering the...rest of them!"

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[the_merriest]

"Everybody that gets in our way! And a few that don't! Good and Evil and stuff!" She waved her foam sword around and tried to stand up. Slowly.

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Right on! Whooo!" Annette didn't move yet though. She still sort of just swayed, raising her brows, trying for desperately for gracefulness. "Go us!"

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[the_merriest]

"We're gonna - smack the crap out of them. Blonde cheerleaders for ... dunno! Maybe just for us." She put her hands on her knees, and took a deep breath. "In a minute. We'll ... let them get a headstart."

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Kind of like..hide and seek...only with good and evil. Except we're on the same side cause we're cheerleaders and we totally rock." Annette took a deep breath then looked up. Whoa, bad idea still.

"So...yeah...how 'bout those devils? Think they'll win today?"

Re: FIGHT! - TGay [Class Ten]

[the_merriest]

"Yeah!" Rikku pumped a fist. "Are we good cheerleaders or bad ones? Maybe we're morally ambiguous cheerleaders?"

She grinned. "Nah, they don't stand a chance. We're gonna win. Cheerleaders! For ... being blonde and perky and kicking your butt!"
