Heroing [Wednesday, Period 2, Class #9]

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"Good day, friends! Once again, I am She-Ra, your substitute teacher," She-Ra greeted the class in her full uniform - from golden hairband to white mini to gold stiletto boots. "While some of you may have noticed the many Harpys that appeared on the island, I promise you are all quite safe here in the school. Should you go out of doors, however, be aware of the danger and move quickly to avoid the dastardly creatures." With that public service announcement out of the way, She-Ra could get to the real class topic. And after class, she could go and send Hunga's troops back to Etheria where they belonged. Ahem.

"Now, Captain Hammer requested I speak to you all on the necessity of selecting the proper weapon in a given fight." Obviously he'd heard about her magical sword, which she drew from its sheath, allowing the stone in the center to sparkle in the light. "The Sword of Protection is no mere sword with the sole purpose of hacking and chopping at an opponent. How is it different? Allow me to demonstrate." Because seeing was believing, after all.

"Sword to lasso!" She-Ra shouted, holding her sword high, and in a flash of golden light her sword formed into a lasso. "The lasso is the perfect weapon for catching an opponent who is fleeing the scene." She-Ra swung the lasso across the room to grab the podium and pull it to her. A moment later, the lasso was coiling into a sword shape as she shouted, "Lasso to sword!"

"As you have seen, the magic of Castle Grayskull allows this sword to transform into any object I request, from a shield to a grappling hook. Now, not all weapons are as gifted as my sword and then you must be particular about what you carry based on what you are fighting. Let's consider the Harpys. Find a partner and ask yourselves: What weapons will protect you from them? What weapons would you use to neutralize a Harpy? How would you combat them? From a group or on your own? Now students, please don't misunderstand me, I'm not encouraging any of you to battle the Harpys today, let us simply discuss tactics and weaponry that would improve the likelihood of a victory over these evil beasts and a means to send them back to Hunga."

And if it helped the ones who would not be dissuaded from the fight, all the better.

With a weapon!

Listen, pass notes, stare, be amazed by the Sword of Protection.

Okay, that was a badass sword and Hannibal wondered if they were sold in stores or something. Or maybe he could borrow it. Sword to Ferrari would be awesome.

Tahiri was kind of gaping at the sword. Or whatever it was at any given moment. That was so not fair.

Arthur wasn't much for the idea of being indoors with his classes when there were harpies out there, but he wasn't about to run out on a class either.

Which is what brought him to paying somewhat impatient attention to the lesson, despite his interest in the subject matter. He looked somewhat scratched-up for his efforts that morning.

He needed this to be over so he could get his bloody chainmail and see if the knights needed help.

This time, listening to what she was saying was more urgent than gawking at her cleavage. Romeo was jealous of the sword.

Nice freaking sword. Johnny might look like and feel like hell today, but he was admiring the sword like something shiny.

Re: Lecture Time [3/11]

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

Adam had to admit, that sword was pretty freaking cool.

Jess was so not a weapon person, but even he was impressed by She-Ra's sword, along with all the other aspects of her presence that impressed him as well.

Ben was itching to get outside. Things to fight! Yeah, yeah, sword that turns into everything, but...things to fight!

Sokka raised a hand. "Where can I get a sword like that?"

Re: Lecture Time [3/11]

Lion-o had to admit that She-ra's sword was pretty awesome. He only wished that his sword could do something neat.

If he remembered to practice with the Sword of Omens more often, maybe he'd discover some of its unique abilities.

Momoko liked her yoyo. It pummeled, it smashed, it lassoed, it carried bad guys to jail, it stopped falling freight elevators, it carried charges of energy enough to push back a demon, it was red...

She knew other weapons had their place, though, so she tapped on her desk with her fingers, wondering if she could get away with claiming she was sick and sneaking out to help, like she did back home when monsters invaded during the school day. At least this was her only class.

Harpy Time [3/11]

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

What weapons would you use to stay safe from or fight a Harpy? Any special tactics? Phone a friend? Just start talking or ping someone!

Re: Harpy Time [3/11]

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Big damn gun," Hannibal said. "What else? Take out the wings or any other body part on those flying freaks."

Re: Harpy Time [3/11]

[bitchprince]

"Crossbow seems to work," Arthur said, flatly. "But given the scope of human advancement in weaponry, I think a submachine weapon wouldn't be amiss."

Re: Harpy Time [3/11]

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Myself," he replied easily enough.

Re: Harpy Time [3/11]

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"Take out their wings," Anemone answered. "They aren't built for ground fighting at all. Take away their ability to fly, and you've cut them down."

Re: Harpy Time [3/11]

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Guns work," Dean said. "Just aim for the usual vital areas." He paused and added, "A flamethrower would work awesome too."

Re: Harpy Time [3/11]

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"A really strong umbrella."

Re: Harpy Time [3/11]

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, a gun would probably work best. Especially a laser gun. An AWESOME laser gun." Sokka shrugged. "But I've got to give up some love for my boomerang. Total perfect weapon for today."

Re: Harpy Time [3/11]

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"My sword seems to have some sort of forcefield. I just, um, haven't figured out how to use trigger it yet," said Lion-o.

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

Interesting how Adora seems to be missing her TA duties again. Hurm.

Re: She-Ra Time [3/11]

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Welcome back," he said easily. "Couldn't stay away?"

OOC [3/11]

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

FYI, the sword totes turns into a helmet for when she flies her horse into outer space. Nope, no oxygen tank. Just a helmet.

BLESS YOU, CANON OF MIRACULOUS CRACKINESS.
