The shop classroom was fitted with a copious amount of what looked like some high-quality blast shields that morning, and there was also a very heavy supply of protective gear, so that was a pretty good sign that they were going to be having some fun that day! Amaya was certainly looking excited, anyway, which shouldn't surprise anyone who knew her, especially once she got started.

"Today," she announced, "we're going to be working with explosive! Live fire, too, none of this cushy protective danger shop stuff, so I'm going to start out by saying I don't care if you've got certifications from here to Serenia for this sort of thing," Diaz, "you're going to take care and caution with the materials today, we've got plenty of protective equipment to use, and there are specific designated spots for detination so that no one blow off a limb, but, on the bright side, if anyone does, at least we've covered weaponized limb replacements already in class, right?"

That was a joke, please don't anyone actually blow off a limb, Amaya really liked this job and did not want to lose it over a lost limb. If she was going out, it needed to be for more than just someone's arm.

"But we're doing more than just an explosive today," she added. "We're doing explosive artifacts, inspired by one in particular from a film I'm honestly a fan of, because it's one of the few movies of its ilk that seems to get close to showing what things are like where I'm from. Makes me a little homesick sometimes, if I'm honest, but that's neither here nor there. We'll watch a bit to get you inspired, especially the scenes where the explosive artifact is used, and then we'll set you loose on making one of your own! Or several, if you've got the time!"

They should always have the time for more explosives!

It's a very silly film, but there are some epic battles, thrilling quests, and, look! Even a wedding (see? Amaya could include some mushy scenes!). There are magical explosions, killer rabbits (not that Amaya would have any particular fondness for killer rabbits or anything) and, most importantly, a holy hand grenade.

Honestly, the fact that this movie makes Amaya nostalgic for home explains a lot about Amaya...

This was a rather silly movie, and Lucille wasn't going to admit that she rather liked the killer rabbit. Maybe she had something in common with Amaya?

Oh, and the wedding. It wasn't particularly mushy, was it?

Materials are moddable for the exterior of your holy hand grenade, and you get bonus points for making up some fancy lore and rules about the usage of the holy hand grenade, but it doesn't really matter, because, after a short bit of instruction on how to actually make the explosive...you're just going to blow it up, anyway.

But all that extra stuff only makes it more fun!

"So," Lucille said. "Can these explosives be traced? Will it be obvious that the explosion was caused by this grenade and not just some explosive fire hazard?"

Oh, come on.

Rosa was just going to look up from her explosive for a moment to look at Hot Goth Not-Neighbor-Anymore, and then look around the workshop for signs of hidden cameras, because she was pretty sure at this point, someone was trying to prank her or something because...come on.

Come on.

Yeah, even Amaya had to admit, that one seemed a little odd, but actually not for the same reasons. She just couldn't fathom why anyone wouldn't want to take credit for a nice, well-done explosion.

"I suppose," she offered after a moment of thinking about it, "that depends on a few things. You'd have to make it pretty generic, in that case, with materials that were easily accessible to just about anyone, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of an artifact bomb. The whole point of an artifact bomb is making a statement, sort of."

"Oh." Lucille smiled. "A statement for the right moment."

Not one when you didn't want to get caught.

"Exactly!" Amaya's grin in response was an encouraging one. "These aren't just your average, run-of-the-mill, everyday acts of demolition that calls for an artifact grenade; you pull these out when you really need it, like in the film! Where it's the only thing left between you and certain death at the sharp, pointy teeth of a dynamite rabbit!"

Man, she loved that rabbit. But she did have an odd soft spot toward lagomorphs, having sort of been one herself at times.

This was almost enough to wonder how the old Hobblepots were doing back in Daventry.

Almost.

Words cannot express how much I've been looking forward to doing this one.
