Creative Weaponry; Monday, Second Period [09/14].
"Congratulations!" said Amaya by way of greeting the class that morning, with a big of a grin on her face as she gave an encouraging pump of her fist. They were still sub-terranian, it seemed, rock surrounding them and sputtering torches on the walls leading their way. "You've successfully managed to free yourself from goblin imprisonment, and we've been making our way through their labyrinthian tunnels on our way back to the surface. And we're almost there! In fact, if you'll just turn this next corner with me..."
She lead them forward to do just that, which opened the scene into a larger cavern with an opening on the other side that clearly sported stone stairs going upward...but a wide, deep, almost fathomless ravine seemed to split the chamber right down the middle.
On either side of them were two wooden structures that appeared to be bases for catapults, and there were quite a few heaps of rubble, timber, stones and....mattresses scattered around. And, glowering at them from inside the ravine was a very large, very surly looking bridge troll.
"It would seem the only thing seperating us from freedom now is this here bridge troll, and he seems to be in a rotten mood. Luckily, it appears we might be able to do somehting here with these two structures so conveniently there for us to use, and goblins are notorious hoarders, so there's guaranteed to be something of use in these old piles of junk, right?"
She flashed them a grin. "I think you can see where this might be going from here. We're going to split up into two groups, and I want you all to try to find a way to defeat this bridge troll....or at least give him a good run for his money!....so that we can cross the ravine and finally get out of this goblin mess! Feel free to use any of the junk you find in the goblin hoards, though, fair warning, the likelihood of anything useful in there is few and far between, but that's the whole point of the class, isn't it?
"Alright, then, now! As for teams..."

"Uh. Hi Jules," Julius said, inching over to where his team was meeting.
He still didn't know what the heck had been wrong with him on Saturday, but, thankfully, he was back to feeling fraternal towards her.
And, you know. Humiliated.
Re: Build your Weapons! - Weaponry, 09/14.
... And possibly asking him what the hell had been up with that odd behavior.
Re: Build your Weapons! - Weaponry, 09/14.
...In a manner of speaking.
Re: Build your Weapons! - Weaponry, 09/14.
Did you hear that, Julius? That was the sound of someone who believed you like zero percent. “I see.”
Someone who was also carefully cataloging every weird Julius-reaction to things after a certain conversation last week. Though she was fairly certain this behavior had less to do with that and more to do with whatever had come over him at the dating event.
Re: Build your Weapons! - Weaponry, 09/14.
The whole thing! Not just him!
Re: Build your Weapons! - Weaponry, 09/14.
That was all very true, but Juillenne could not shake the feeling that one Julius Quetz was an absolute lying liar who lied.
(For one thing, his name on the records was definitely Heartstriker, yet he had introduced himself as 'Quetz', which led credence to Nina's 'disgraced royal' theory. Though surely by now he'd figured out no one had any idea who his family was?)
"Yes," Juillenne nodded with the sage wisdom of someone who'd been here over a year now. "That happens rather a lot, you'll find."
Re: Build your Weapons! - Weaponry, 09/14.
For various definitions of 'successfully' and 'pulling off,' mind.
"It might happen again?!" he asked, eyes wide.
Re: Build your Weapons! - Weaponry, 09/14.
"Oh, that's right," Juillenne nodded. "You missed most of the summer and the camp activities. That's a prime example right there."
Re: Build your Weapons! - Weaponry, 09/14.
"Oh," he said, dismayed. "But they're not all...like that, right?"
Re: Build your Weapons! - Weaponry, 09/14.
"Not always," she conceded.
