Escape Artistry: Week 3, Period 3 (Thurs. 07/24)

The Danger Shop was set up like the Salle. The main difference was the giant Satedan in the center of the room, going through a complicated practice routine with a bokutō blade. When they arrived, he stopped and approached the group with a feral smile, spinning the wooden sword in his hand as he spoke.

"Today we're sword fighting. If it's your first fight, there's a handout for you. First thing to know about sword fighting: keep your eyes straight ahead. Focus on the enemy. Never ever look away from your enemy. It shows weakness. Are you weak?" He stared down a couple students in particular as he paced the floor in front of them all. "Second thing: You’ve gotta anticipate the enemy's next move. Always be ready. I'll give you a minute to look at the papers." Ronon stepped away, preparing to instruct them on how this was going to go down.

Helen watched and listened intently. And might have been shooting glances at Rodney to make sure he didn't back out of talking to Ronon.

Well, this could actually be fun. Michael was looking forward to it.

Michael weighed the sword in his hand and looked around for a partner.

It'd been a while since he had sparred with a sword, but Jamie picked up the practice sword and went through a couple practiced parries, thrusts and ripostes before taking a stance.

"Pointy end goes toward you, right?" He joked.

Hopefully he remembered all of Inigo's lessons.

Helen knew she wasn't anywhere near skilled enough to go up against Ronon, but she also didn't want him to think she was afraid to do so.

She also had never been particularly good at backing down from a challenge.

Helen had stepped up to talk with Ronon and was giving Rodney the evil eye to make sure he joined her.

Jamie raised his practice sword in the time honored salute and then settled down into the en garde position.

"Figure I have to earn extra credit somehow, right?"

She would have shrugged, but she was too concerned about trying to stand in the correct ready position and watch every move he made. "You're psychic?"

Friday's attention wandered as he started to think about how sword fighting fit into escaping, if he'd be any good at it, if it was as easy as it looked on TV and whether he'd look good in a musketeer uniform.

Gwen wasn't exactly going to let a chance to try and beat up Ronon pass her by.

Friday picked up one of the practice blades and, clearly not knowing how to hold it properly, waited for his turn against the teacher.
