Being a Proper Sea Dog, Friday, Period 3 [Session 6]
"We're taking a slight change in lesson plans today," Hook addressed the class as they all filed into the Danger Shop. He pointed to a barrel filled with foam-bladed cutlasses.
"We're covering the art of sword-fighting insults today. The ability to get your opponent off his guard with a well timed insult or a particularly clever comeback is essential to winning many a duel. And duels are far more common at sea than you'd expect."
He grinned from ear to ear. "For instance, if you were to tell your opponent 'You fight with all the skill of a dairy farmer', the proper comeback would be to declare 'How appropriate, you fight like a cow!'"
Hook laughed heartily, always a fan of a good jibe.
"You'll find posted on the mast a few helpful lists of various classic insults and comebacks. I want you to pair up and then practice your battling wits. If anyone pairs up with Zack or Jason, do play nicely as you'll be fighting unarmed men."
He was pretty much asking to get slapped with a fish again, really.
"There you go, chop chop, grab a foam sword as a prop if you like. And if you experiment with your own insults, please keep it somewhat clean. Good form is important, even in insults. That's good boys and girls."
[ooc:OCD first, plz Open class!]

Re: Grab a Sword // Insult Each Other
Yeah, insulting people might be the only part of sword fighting Claudia had any skill at.
Re: Grab a Sword // Insult Each Other
He gave his sword a few slashing moves in the air before trying to twirl it, dropping it a bit, and then picking it up from the ground before sheepishly looking around for a partner.
Re: Grab a Sword // Insult Each Other
Then he retrieved it from where it had flown to, and swung it again, this time with less panache and more of a grip on the hilt.

Re: OOC
In EVERY SINGLE SEQUEL, "How appropriate, you fight like a cow" is one of the default answers you can give in an insult fight.
