Self Defense, Thursday, February 5th

"Atton has been unavoidably detained," Anakin said, sweeping into the classroom five minutes late. "I'm Anakin Skywalker, the dean of students and a fellow Jedi--" Atton wasn't there to squawk about the title, so neener, neener Atton, "--and so today we're going to do some important self-defense work."

If you noticed that the Danger Shop looked a little like a running track, well, it's okay to have a bad feeling about that.

"You cannot defend yourself if you cannot, when it matters, run away from the problem faster than the person chasing you can catch you. Therefore, laps."

Ugh, Anakin, you're the worst.

"Sprint the first lap. I'll add hurdles to the second lap and pits and other obstacles the third. Try not to twist an ankle."

Thanks, Anakin.

Ready to run!

Run fast! No, really, faster than that. Anakin can tell you're half-assing it.

Run fast and jump over things! They're about four and a half feet tall because Anakin hates each and every one of you.

Now with pits! Big ones. One has mud, one has shaving cream, one has chocolate pudding.

What is wrong with you, Anakin.

Or bitch at him. It's understandable if you're covered in chocolate pudding.

I'm so sorry this took forever to get up. It's been a daaaaaaaaaay.

Travis Coates

Travis really didn't want to run but he did. He ran as fast as he could and was really, really glad Jeremy Pratt's body was built as good as it was.

This was a disaster. Travis managed to jump one thing before the next he just went around.

Travis ended up face down in a mud pit. So, he'd be taking a shower as soon as he got back to the dorms.

Sparkle

Running, Sparkle could handle. What he couldn't handle was not knowing what the hell was keeping Atton. It was well past Tuesday, damn it.

So, Sparkle was looking maybe more than a tiny bit concerned as he started running the first lap.

Yeaaah, Sparkle couldn't just leap over this thing, but he had a fair amount of practise at jumping fences, and was reasonably certain he could make this lap without, like, breaking his neck.

Still worried about Atton, though.

Vider Bearskin

Vider would argue it was more important to run smart than to run fast, but then, Vider used to play tag with Loki.

Whatever, running was required of her, so she was running.

Vider was not a tall girl, so this...was not happening.

She would just be going around the hurdles and hoping the teacher did not notice.

Speaking of things that made Vider want to shave her hair off...

Ugh, this was a disaster. Ugh.

Minako Aino

Um, Minako was going to warm up first, thanks, because she was a professional athlete -- or an aspiring one -- and knew that just jumping in would be a disaster by the final lap. But she'd never been so glad that she'd started wearing short yoga pants and her volleyball top to class with her trainers.

A few stretches, her hair pulled back into a ponytail, and Minako was off, swift enough to make-up for her delayed start.

You loved her, Anakin, you really loved her!

Minako's grin was pure joy as she swerved around the first one to build up speed, and entered into a series of gymnastics flips that got taller and taller to let her clear the next one. The lap continued in that manner, as she used her momentum to clear every-other hurdle.

There was a brief pang of sadness she couldn't just transform into Venus and play around, but working up a sweat was always fun.
