Creative Weaponry; Tuesday, 1st Period. [02/06].
The class would be meeting back in the classroom that day, something that Amaya looked genuinely apologetic for, but, at the same time, she had bigger fish to fry. The desks were all shoved aside, though, clearing out a space in the middle, where she'd laid down a big canvas cloth, and set around the edges were small sculpting kits, one for each of them.
"Have a seat in a circle on the cloth, if you don't mind," she instructed them as they came in. "If it's too uncomfortable for whatever reason, there's cushions and chairs and a few low stools, too. Today's going to be a little bit different, kind of an emphasis on the creative part the class. So a lot less hitting," again, she did look terribly sorry about it, too, "but hopefully still fun.
"Somehow," surely nothing to do with the fact that she still didn't think to take off her gloves when she typed in orders, "we got a particularly large order of fancy soaps at the shop this week. It's fairly clean lot on this island, I'll give them that, but not that clean. However, soap is pretty malleable. It's a lot easier to whittle and carve than something like wood and stone, it's more forgiving and, around here, a lot less valuable. So today," and she walked to the center of the circle and upended the box, pouring out a plethora of soaps in various shapes and sizes, colors and scents, "we're going to carve our own weapons.
"I've noticed a lot of you like to go big," she noted with a sideways smirk of absolute approval, "so I hope the challenge of going small with these mini weapons is a good one. Obviously, this isn't a practical exercise, unless we find ourselves shrunk down one day fighting clods of dirt,"--hey, anything was possible--"so feel free to go as crazy with it as your imagination lets you. These don't need to be functional, but they do need to be interesting. And, really, one of the best things about making weapons is coming up with something impractical and then figuring out how to make it work later.
"We have plenty of time, too, so feel free to spend it all expertly crafting the most exquisite soap weapon you can, or go the other way and build up a whole soap arsenal. It's really up to you."
