Improving Your Skills [Friday, 3rd Period]
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.

She considered the question for a moment. "I know Alec and Clint. And another girl who said she was learning. But I haven't met everyone so..."
Re: Shoot at the Targets [01/25]
Yeah. Bears was about the best he could come up with, since he was trying to focus on the target again. This time, instead of hanging on for dear life for far too long, he actually let the arrow fly.
Still not a bullseye, but he was getting closer!
Re: Shoot at the Targets [01/25]
"Bears? It couldn't be something cooler like ...rabid wolves or something? Aliens? But we so should do that. I don't know if the school would be okay with a whole army of archers-" she just liked saying 'army of archers.' It sounded awesome. "but I'd be okay with it."
Re: Shoot at the Targets [01/25]
Bears with tentacles. Yeah, that could happen.
"You stick around the island long enough, you'll stop worrying about what the school thinks about a bunch of people learning how to shoot arrows. Someone must have said something to you by now about how this place gets, right? It's always the crazy-assed students out there fending that junk off, you know."
Re: Shoot at the Targets [01/25]
"Yeah, I heard stuff. And I know they let teachers teach fighting-" she gestured at this entire class "- but I figured the school trustees were really liberal or something."
Or maybe it was a Montessori school.
She wasn't too upset about fighting things though.
Re: Shoot at the Targets [01/25]
It was kind of a shame he hadn't been around when the students had their own reserves groups. It would be an excellent example to draw from to help elaborate the school's views on army building.
Re: Shoot at the Targets [01/25]
Forgive her, she was pondering a bit here.
Re: Shoot at the Targets [01/25]
... Pretend that made sense, Kate.
