The Art of Battle Tactics AND Badass Bitch Survival Guide; Monday, Second Period [11/22].

[sake_shinigami]

And it would seem that Shunsui's Art of Battle Tactics class would have a little treat that Monday: a little extra time that morning before they were expected in class! They were to meet during second period instead today, in a message sent out to all of them at some point in time, and the second period class would join them in the gym, thanks to a note left on both classroom doors.

There they would find Shunsui waiting for them, the floor layered with mats and the instructor himself rather unlayers, in just his black Shinigai robes for the lesson, for better instructional purposes. And he waited a moment before he got started.

"Ohayō gozaimasu, ducklings ♥!" he greeted. "And welcome to this exciting merger of classes! For those of you who I have not yet me, my name is Shunsui Kyōraku, I teach the first period class, and, well, since your lovely Diaz-sensei could not make it for a few class and there rather is a thread of connection between her class and mine at times, she has ask me to graciously step in for a few lessons to teach both of our motley herd of ducklings the Art of Self-Defense ♥. Now, the scope of my own class is a bit broader than hand-to-hand combat, but it does play rather well into my ideals of avoiding harm when possible ♥. And Diaz-sensei would perhaps be a bit less reluctant to avoid causing harm in a situation, but today's class is all about manuevers to help detain an assailant to best escape a situatuion."

He nodded to the students, which was Astrid's cue to step forward, feeling mildly anxious about this, but, well, they had oh so handwavily pracitces, so it would be fine.

"Astrid-chan here will demonstrate some basic self-defense moves and then we will break them down a little further, including some body throws. While we demonstrate, take care to pay attention and perhaps take some time to stretch out and warm up, because when we are finished, excepting any questions, we will split up and pair off so that you can practice amongst yourselves.

"Well, then, Astrid-chan ♥? Shall we begin? This first one will be what's called a hammer strike..."

Cupcake Skirmishes- Monday

"Hello and welcome to Thanksgiving week!" Kitty greeted them. "If you're new to this, it's a problematic holiday where we celebrate Native Americans helping us with food right before we slaughtered them and stole their land, so now we kind of bypass that and get together to eat a lot and fight with our families."

Well, other people did. Clint and Kitty kept it pretty low key.

"So we're going to make cupcakes with a Thanksgiving theme. See how cute you can make them."
