Defending Yourself [Monday, Period 1]

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

Like most of Max's classes, this one took place in the Danger Shop. Even if said shop was configured to look like a normal classroom.

"Welcome back. Or welcome for the first time if you're not back." Max grinned.

"Since I'm the first class you've got, I can get away with making you go through the introduction thing without it seeming tired. But don't worry, you'll get bored with it before the week is over."

Max grinned since that was okay with him.

"So. Everyone state your name, how many years you've been on the island, and tell us about any experience you've got with defending yourself. Even if the answer is 'none'. Don't worry, by the end of the semester you'll have more."

"Oh, and for next week? Everyone bring something to class that you can use to defend yourself with. Mace, or a roll of quarters, or some brass knuckles. Heck, I'll even accept a pointy stick. Or a not-so-pointy stick."

[OOC: I have, on the spur of the moment, decided to try an experiment: no sign-in sub-thread. Tell me if you hate it, love it, or didn't notice in the OOC thread!

"William Murdoch," William introduced himself. "I've been at the school for a year and a half now, and- I've done some boxing at my old school as well as the occasional, er," he blushed furiously, straightening his tie, "unsanctioned scrap." An admission that might be surprising to some given his rather reserved, formal personality. Definitely not a typical science nerd hobby either.
