What NOT To Do In A Fight / Period III / Week 10 (Atreides/Deadpool)
It was the danger shoppe for the students again today. Yes, handwavily mentioned, so you can all deal. Deeeeeeal with it.
Deadpool was twirling a very real and very sharp sword when the students came in. Like the safe, mature and responsible adult that he was. “So, ya’ll saw that crappy movie with the vampires that we need to stop before they take over the Marvel Universe--but that’s clearly not enough to give you an idea of what not to do with a sword.”
A beat.
“Other than stab yourself.”
"Or stab someone else accidentally," Ghanima continued, cheerfully. "You only want to stab the people you dislike."
"Now, I'm sure many of you would say that you like swords. Some of you may even claim it is a more civilized weapon than a firearm. This is a lie. a sword is a tool used to kill; there is nothing that makes it morally better or worse than anything else."
“And it’s all shiny!” Deadpool added, offering up his sword as an example. “It’s not like a gun where you’re all removed from the fight and don’t really get to see things get all messy. Oh, no. A sword, you gotta deal with blood all up in that. Also? Flicking blood off your sword only works in samurai movies and anime. And we only have so many anime characters here, damn it."
"Contrary to popular opinion, throwing your sword does not always work," Ghanima continued. "The pointy end doesn't always land where you want it to go, and lazily slinging your blade across your shoulders is simply going to give you a bad haircut and back problems. You have a scabbard, so use it."
Deadpool gave her a horrified look. “But Tom Cruise threw his sword! Tom Cruise! Dude knows Xenu!”
No, that would never not be funny to him.
“But, there are two things to look forward to with a sword,” he said once the trauma passed. "Hot chicks with swords and improbably awesome swords. Though, a fair warning, those cool swords might also be cursed to turn you into a horrible lich king of some sort. But, who does that?"
"You would, if you had the magic to manage it," Ghanima replied, bemused. "If you're using a sword, it's generally because you enjoy the fight. You might possibly be addicted to 'Flynning' as a style, which, I suppose is as valid a choice as any, if not very effective."
“...Don’t you dare disparage Flynning. It’s a proud tradition!” Nevermind that now. “Okay, kids, crap a bamboo sword and practice smackin’ each other around!”
"And anyone caught with the sword between their teeth or licking the blade gets detention for poor hygiene and abuse of a weapon," Ghanima reminded them. "Have fun."

Stupid thing was too light as far as she was concerned. On the other hand, that gave her a little bit of a speed advantage? Maybe? Yeah.
Re: Fight!
It really didn't, so she was hoping to find someone to fight who knew what they were doing. Or at least wouldn't laugh.
Re: Fight!
Re: Fight!
She didn't know weapons as well as, say, Jasper might, but she was more than passable.
