Practical Weaponry [Wednesday, Period Four]
Today the world inside the Danger Shop was monochrome and grainy, a vast gravel quarry lay before the students, train tracks lay in the near distance, and if they listened carefully, the class might have heard the strains of ominous piano music. Bond stood at the edge of the quarry, looking down into it.
"Good afternoon class," he began cheerfully, which was never a good sign. "Given that we're rapidly coming up on the end of our time together, today's exercise is going to incorporate three different elements."
"To begin with, no matter how well-trained you are, there are times that not only does your enemy have more advantages than you, whether in personnel, intel, or weapons, but for whatever reason you are also constrained from taking the path of least resistance and just killing them. To make matters worse, you may even have allies who are a greater hindrance than help.
"Which brings me to my second point. There are also occasions where you can't fight at all. This might be because of injury, you might have have a gun to your head, or you might simply be outclassed. When taken to an extreme, you can be a liability to the very people you are trying to help.
"Finally, there times you can have every advantage in the world, and somehow still manage to make a complete hash of things."
Bond gestured to a list tacked up on a nearby rock-cropping. "For this exercise, you have been randomly placed in one of three groups, the Heroic Saviours, the Damsels in Distress, and the Villainous Scoundrels, each with a different role to play."
He started listing them off on his fingers. "For the Heroic Saviours, your job is to protect a Damsel for the length of the class from a Villain, however you may not do anything which would cause permanent harm to them.
"Damsels, you must try to stay out of the Villain's clutches, however you've sadly contracted a case of terminal incompetence, you have no fighting skills, you can't run particularly fast, and you have a tendency to twist your ankle at the worst possible moment, you're relying on your hero, and not making their job easy." Anyone thinking that Bond had had perhaps a bit too much fun devising this class would be right.
"Villains, you see those railway tracks over there? Your aim is to have a Damsel tied to them at the end of the class. Moustache twirling is optional."
"You can pick your own partners, and your time starts as soon as you have."

Re: Get into Groups! - PW [Week 6]
Because she was designated as useless this class, ah well.
Re: Get into Groups! - PW [Week 6]
She winked. "Please note that after your grisly death by, umm, something--" Karla didn't really know what traintracks were or what they were for "--Yei will be taken care of. Mwahahaha."
Re: Get into Groups! - PW [Week 6]
Hinata gave her a sidelong glance. "U-Unless," she added, "you were planning on removing her from the equation as well."
Very dastardly.
Re: Get into Groups! - PW [Week 6]
You could tell because in involved trains.
