The Right Tools, Tuesday Period Four

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"We were going to talk blunt objects today," Kerrigan said to the class, looking distinctly annoyed. For one, all the sharp edges of her wings were covered in bubblewrap, and so was most of her hair.

She was not amused. "However, since the island seems to have this need to intervene with my plans, we're just going to take said blunt objects and divest them of bubblewrap."

She pointed at a series of staffs in the corner. They were all wrapped in the stuff. As were the tables, the board, and at least part of the floor. "Keep working until the bubbles go away," she muttered, "I don't care how you do it. Just get it out of my sight. See it as a practical exam."

Re: Put An End To The Bubblewrap

Alice wasn't the type to sit and pop bubble-wrap. It made an interesting noise; so did many things.

Such as a vorpal blade, cleanly slicing through layers of bubble wrap in one pure stroke, leaving the layers to fall away with a light tug.

There was an art to it, pressing deep enough to get all the layers but not damage the staffs underneath. It took a few tries to perfect, but she was rather pleased with the results.

And somewhat itching for more targets. She rather hoped her teacher wouldn't be too upset by her impertinence, if she began slicing anything bubble-wrapped in her vicinity.

It had been far too long since her blade had sang for her.
