Rangering!, Friday, Period Five [ 05/15 ].
Here it was! It was Friday! Fifth Period! Time for Rangering! Minsc was very excited to be starting up his new class, although he had yet to compile together a syllabus. It seemed like it didn't really matter that much; rangers really had no need for a syllabus and, really, he rarely stuck to it anyway. Next week! he promised himself. Next week he would!
But, for now, class! He had his students meet in the preserve, in a small clearing surrounded by trees, and stood grinning at them eagerly, a hamster in one hand and his broad sword in the other.
"Good afternoon!" he greeted them, brusquely, brightly, in an accent that sounded fake-Scandavian (?), fake-Russian (?), or...something. "Welcome to Rangering! I am your teacher, Minsc, and this is my giant miniature space hamster Boo! Hopefully, you are here because you are wanting to learn the ways of a ranger, such as myself! If not, then...stick around, and learn anyway! It never hurts to learn more about buttkicking! A ranger is a warrior of great buttkicking magnitude which specializations in weapons training and an accute sense of nature and animals! So we will be doing much of that!"
"But, for today, let us get to know our fellow brethren and sisteren in buttkicking! I know some of you, but certainly not all of you, and all of you might no know each other! So let us introduce ourselves! I would like your name, where you are from, what weapons experience you have and also why you are interested in rangering, if you please! And, also, you should all say hullo to the very...err....enthusiastic Prince Edward! He is one of my TAs this semester! I am scouting for a second, as well, so look sharp! And then...."
The grin grew even wider and, with a sudden, great, powerful yell, Minsc drove his sword straight down into the ground with seemingly so much force that, suddenly, things dropped from the trees. They were practise dummies, hanging on strings, limply filled with straw and sawdust, with very evil looking faces drawn on them. You could tell they were evil, because they had great big, downward pointing menacing eyebrows and little evil-like beards.
"Ah, but, in rangering, the sword is often stronger than the word! I have, available for you right over there, a variety of weapons from my own personal aresenal. When we are done with introductions, pick up your favourite, and let's see what you've got. Have at these uncouth villians of badness, and show off your skills, so that I may have a better idea of what I am working with! And if you dispose of your enemy quickly, I will be very impressed, and there is more there that came from. Ah-ha! Let us now start! I am getting very excited to be smashing and slashing and fighting now!"
[[please wait for the OCD is ready for buttkicking! ]]

Re: ATTACK!!! -- 05/15.
She did find a short sword -- a wakizashi, not that she knew it was called that -- that she felt fairly comfortable with and started in on a practice dummy.
"Wow," she blurted out when the sword sliced through the dummy's arm with an ease she didn't expect from an actual bladed weapon.
Okay, so she couldn't take this class as seriously as she'd thought she might, but still, it looked fun.
