Woodworking (and Vehicle Proficiency), Thursday - 1st Period

[magnusrushesin]

Class was in the Danger Shop because Magnus had thought it sounded pretty cool, but then had no idea how to program it, so class was in a big, empty room.

Well, mostly empty room. There were pieces of furniture in various stages of construction along with tools waiting for the kids. All three of 'am.

"Welcome to Woodworking... And other skills I can come up with," he said just a touch anxiously before barreling on ahead as was his wont. "My name is Magnus Burnsides and I'll be your teacher."

That sounded all official, right?

"So... first time teaching. Well, teaching teenagers. I taught a friend to carve a sweet puzzle box for her girlfriend once." Carey's blade skills did not translate over to woodcrafting. "Hopefully you guys have more talent there!"

Roll for an awkward laugh. What? Wrong medium for that? Damn.

Magnus cleared his throat. "So, let's get to introducing ourselves while sanding down some of these pieces."

And it wasn't even fantasy sandpaper!

Oh, boy. Sanding down wood. Did the fun ever stop around here?

Maybe Summer did find it was actually a little relaxing, and there was a weird sense of accomplishment out of the final smoothed product (like shaving your legs after growing a winter coat!), but whatever. Mr. Flaming Sword over here was actually one of the teachers, what?

"I'm Summer," she said, "and I threatened to steal your weapons."

In case he forgot. It was said with a touch of pride, too.

"You did!" Magnus replied cheerfully. "But I'm sneakier than I look, so it might not be so easy."

He learned the way of the Rogue. And putting smoke bombs or pudding in your pockets to be a jerk to would-be thieves.

"Yeah, but, what if I'm sneakier than I look, too?"

She wasn't. She just wanted to throw that out there.

"Are you?" He asked, mostly just looking like this could totally be a fun, new challenge.

See, and Summer was thinking this in itself was a sneaky trap of sneakiness, because if she said yes, that wasn't very sneaky, but she didn't think she could say no with enough conviction to be properly sneaky about it.

So she went with equating vague with sneaky. "I don't know," she said loftily, tossing her ponytail a little. "I guess you'll have to find out."

Which, if she was sneaky, he wouldn't find out, but, whatever.

Magnus did a fistpump at that.

"I finally get to try making traps!"
