What NOT To Do In A Fight / Period III / Week 2 (Atreides/Deadpool)

Today class met in the Danger Shop, which was set up like a church with high vaulted ceilings and crossbeams, shadows in the eves.

"Greetings, class," Ghanima said, apparently unconcerned that her co-teacher was nowhere in sight. "Today, we're going to discuss how over-reliance on a particular type of weapon can be hazardous to your health. Familiarity breeds contempt, as they say, and if you become too biased towards a particular form of combat, you open yourself for for more weaknesses than is sensible."

Shadoooows in the eeeeeeveeeeees.

This would be, of course, when a gunshot rang out. Just in case people weren’t paying attention before.

If they hadn't been paying attention before, they sure would be now! Except the bullet speeding towards their teacher stopped in midair, inches from her skin, before dropping to the ground.

"Wade," she said patiently, looking up to the Shadoooows in the eeeeeeveeeeees. "That wasn't very nice."

Deadpool dropped down from the Shadooooows in the eeeeeeveeees to land in a crouch, a sniper rifle strapped to his back. It was a very hands on lesson, okay? “Hey, if I was actually gonna shoot you, I woulda done better than that,” he replied cheerfully. “Even though I never managed to shoot Nate in the head...”

Damn it, Nate.

Ghanima didn't want to know about their version of foreplay, alright? "True, that was a shoulder-shot, not anything leathal," she agreed. "But the point is, Deadpool has a dependence on guns. While he can use other things, he likes shooting people. This becomes a problem when someone has a defense against that type of weapon; for instance, my personal shield stops all projectile weapons unless they are moving under a particular speed. Please don't try to hit me with a laser gun, you'll just blow yourself up."

"And if I wanted to disarm him..." Ghanima moved in a blur of motion, appearing to teleport next to Deadpool. "I tend to rely too heavily on the Weirding Way. If my opponent knows this, they can anticipate my next move and do something to throw my movement off."

And knives, Ghani really liked playing with knives.

Hey, everyone loved knives!

“Aww, I like all weapons equally! Did I ever tell you about the time my swords were these super hot Asian chicks that were into some freaky shit?” Deadpool asked with a grin, flicking his wrist to reveal a hereto unknown knife that was tossed up in the air toward her to catch.

"....why are you getting cheap knives imported from China?" she teased him, as she caught it with one hand. "Look at the workmanship on this thing. You'd end up hurting yourself before someone else." The knife fluidly vanished inside the sleeve of her robe. She'd be keeping this until the end of class, thank you.

That just earned her a pout. “I got that from Weasel,” Deadpool grumbled. “Alright, kids. Whatcha dependent on and where can you improve so people can’t just kill you easy-peasy?”

"Warren?" Karla said, confused. "Like, my boyfriend?" She glanced behind him for wings, she couldn't help it.

"I...don't think so?" He had no idea who Karla's boyfriend was. "This guy isn't on the island anymore, but apparently I look just like him. Apparently a lot of people like to hug him."

"Oh, okay," Karla said, shaking her head. "I was really confused for a minute there. But this other Warren must have left before I got to the island. You said you got a job?" she crooked a smile at him. "Fixer-Uppers?"

"Dang, that's a good guess," Leo said, looking impressed. "Am I that easy to read?"

"One of the first things I found out about you was that you like to tinker," Karla reminded. "And my boyos would live at Fixer-Uppers if they could. I kind of assumed it's one of those common traits. You could have gotten a job elsewhere, I guess, but why work somewhere else if the place that does stuff you love is hiring?"

"I didn't even expect to get a job," Leo admitted. "I was just in there to look around, and then I fixed Rikku's droid and--bam--job. It was pretty cool."

"I don't know Rikku, but I'm one of her boyfriend's Rookies," Karla said with a smile. "Glad it worked out for you. What day are you working?"

She could bring him lunch! And maybe cookies!

"Saturdays," Leo told her. "But she said I could come in any day and mess around with junk. Which is a good thing, because my roommate probably wouldn't want my projects lying around. It's bad enough I smell like motor oil most of time."

"Show up on Mondays or Fridays and you'll meet my friends," Karla offered. "I don't know how much you care about future tech, but they can talk to you about starships and whatnot. Ender's from about two hundred years in the future and Ben's from another galaxy altogether."
