Weaponry; Wednesday, Second Period [03/09].

[special_rabbit]

"Morning, everyone!" Amaya greeted the class with her usual eager grin. "So far in this class, we've talked about some of the more sophisticated of the basic weapons that have proven worthy through the test of time and improved on various technology through the ages, but today, we're going to step back a little and explore a more primative weapon that you don't really see as much of today, but really goes to show how diverse weapons can be, and that you don't even need a whole lot of fancy metal and steel to have a good effective weapon! You don't even need all that big, heavy hardware that you found with last week's lesson to get a good launch on a projectile, either. Don't get me wrong! Sometimes, nothing's going to beat a solid sword or axe, and I'm not just saying that because my career depends on it! But that's the beauty of weapons, really. You have choices. And today, with that in mind, we're going to be be talking about the atlatl!"

And this was when Rosa stepped aside to gesture at the table that was behind her, with several atlatl's waiting to be used, with the world's most unenthusiastic "Ta-dah."

Look, wasn't it enough that she'd even let Blackstone convince her to keep a a 'ta-dah' in the presentiontation in the first place?

( Yeet them Spears! )

How exactly did a early modern 21st century former Brooklyn cop learn to be so good with a primitive hunting tool that was actually illegal to use in several countries? That was a good question. No, she would not be answering it.

"And that," Amaya concluded, "is that. Now it's your turn. If you have any technical questions, feel free to ask them, otherwise, head on over to the training ground, grab your weapons, and give it a try!"

Great Legends of Hyrule; Wednesday, Third Period [03/09].

[in_sidon_we_trust]

As the students gathered in the classroom that week, it was evident that Sidon was very excited to get into this week's Legend, eager for everyone get get settled in, and flashing them his usual toothy grin as they did so.

"Allow me," he began, wasting no time, "to set for you a scene!

( High Atop Satori Mountain.... )

"So! What are your thoughts? Do you suppose the Lord of the Mountain is a real creature that roams Satori Mountain and protects it? Is it a spirit of the forest or a long-gone sage still tied to the land? What of the rumors that sighting the Lord of the Mountain may actually bring a curse, or that venturing onto the mountain when it glows would do the same? Are there any similar legends that you know of in your own worlds of such creatures? How do you think they relate? And most of all..." Here, Sidon paused for a moment to chuckle, "what would you do if you encountered such a magnificent beast?"

Bakineering - Wednesday - 4th Period

[imafuturist]

The bakineering workshop was clean as usual, aside from steel car frames that looked vaguely like naked bumper cars. Surely nothing to worry about!

"Hello," Steve began, grinning. "Today you'll get to drive your creations!"

Well. Ignore that "nothing to worry about" part.

"If all goes to plan," Tony added. And he was caffeinated this week, so he looked human again! "You'll be building edible cars! Of course the frames and the engines are being provided. We're not cruel."

Debatable.

"We're going to have you drive your edible cars right into this steel wall as you go 20 miles an hour," Steve said like this was a very normal thing high schoolers should be able to do.

"Not personally drive," Tony added quickly. "Remotely. But, the dessert you make with it needs to survive the impact."

Steve, who forgot sometimes that everyone didn't have his healing powers, looked a little crestfallen at that but shook it off. "We can't wait to see what you come up with!"

Intro to Mechanical Engineering - Wednesday, 1st Period

[notagoose]

Goose had definitely been taking advantage of the coffee being back the last few days and was quite caffeinated and slightly more energetic than he usually was. He had been careful to not go overboard with drinking too much caffeine but he had definitely had more than he probably should have at this point in the morning.

“Good morning,” he said when everyone had turned up and class was ready to begin, “for today’s class we’re going to be focusing on fluid mechanics and hydraulics and how they relate to mechanical engineering,” he explained and he began to start going into what fluid mechanics involved and what the connections to mechanical engineering were.

“For today’s practical,” he continued once he had finished the lecture component of the class, “we’re going to work an an experiment that we covered last semester and that is we’re going to make paper planes and this will also let us test how fluid mechanics work in relation to the thrust and velocity of the paper planes,”
