Improving Your Skills [Friday, 3rd Period]

[so_hawkward]

When the students arrived today, they'd find the Danger Shop set up with a bunch of targets, training dummies, and a pile of moddable weapons.

"It seems like a lot of folks at this school, and in town, come from kind of dangerous places," Clint said. "Honing a skill requires time, which requires staying alive, and that isn't always a luxury. Today, I want to see how well you guys can handle weapons to defend yourselves, and don't worry if the answer is 'not all that well' because everyone's got to start somewhere. If you've already had some training in this area, and you want to spar with each other, go right ahead because you won't really hurt anyone. Supposedly." It wasn't that Clint didn't have faith in technology, but that part of the Danger Shop's settings still had him a little worried.

"It's a good attitude," Gert granted. "Does it work?"

"Uh, no, not in the least." At least he was aware of it. "You might want to stick to the dinosaur."

"Planning on it," Gert agreed. "Maybe you can borrow the use of her biting services sometime. See where that takes you."

"Tempting, but I'd feel terrible if Old Lace got taken out by a werewolf." Though now he was gonna ask Derek his opinion on the outcome of a werewolf versus dinosaur fight.

"I'm pretty sure Old Lace could take out a werewolf," Gert informed him, smirking. "Anyway, cool thing about having a telepathic link to her?" she added with a tap to the side of her head. "She always gets out of the way when I tell her to."

So she was pretty much inviting herself to this hypothetical adventure, yeah.

Stiles had his doubts about that, but he wasn't about to mention it. "Well that's useful. It'd be nice to have a psychic link to Scott but I'd probably go nuts from all the thoughts about his ex-girlfriend."

Stiles was probably right to have his doubts, really. Unless his adventures involved kanimas, because it seemed like Old Lace was pretty good at attacking those.

"I don't even know him and it sounds like a gateway to excessive TMI," Gert agreed. "If he's anything like my friend Chase, it'd be half naked girls, half jokes about bodily functions."

Re: Whack the Training Dummies [01/25]

"Actually that would probably be what it was like to have psychic link with me, to be honest." Except there'd be half naked guys in there too.

And lacrosse! Can't forget that.

"Good thing my evil parents didn't go to the eighty-seventh century and bring you back to be my sidekick, then," Gert quipped. "No offense, but that'd get old."

"I'm a guy," Stiles said. "We're sort of programmed that way."
