The class met in the Danger Shop, where Jaina was already amassing quite a few bags today. It was more annoying than anything else, as someone who'd been around forever and who also had at least come to terms with most of her baggage. These were mostly just reminders.

"Welcome to Fight Stuff, where you're apparently going to have to fight stuff," Jaina greeted them, immediately reaching a hand out to slide a giant trunk across the room and out of the way as soon as it hit the ground. No one needed to see anything about her assassinating her twin on the first day of school. "We'll be meeting here every week to face off against different enemies, and you can get some training, or learn some skills, on the way. You're in the Danger Shop, so nothing can actually hurt you, and so powers and weapons are okay. I'll even have weapons at the start of class in case you want to try something new.

"This week, for no particular reason, you're going to be fighting a moose. And quite probably, your own issues. Good luck."

Dealing with your baggage.

There are plenty of moddable things to choose from! Even safer things like nets or whatever. You can also just not pick something.

It's giant, and it's on a rampage, and it may look exactly like the office moose for reasons.

And you're fighting it all at one time, and Jaina figures this will take up the entire class period. Good luck.

Yes she had just found out she was teaching again on Saturday and her husband and apprentice were both thrilled.

Gonna be a day!

Graham Cracker

Graham had really been looking forward to this; his options had been surprisingly limited in combat over at Knight School, so he was really hoping to hone his skills here. And it was a solid premise that he could really get behind! And, with all the excitement of the first class matched with very little baggage and a lot of different weapons to choose from, he took his time trying to decide which direction to really take this. Did he want to go up against the moose in a sneaky, subtle way? A ranged attack? Something bold and fierce and direct? So many decisions, so little time!

He did, however, peek up over at his classmates, to see what they might choose. They were all friends, after all, so clearly, he just assumed they'd make this a group effort and work together, so maybe they could cover all the bases between them.

Kurt Wagner

So there were only a handful of weapons and such Kurt had gotten much training with so far. Much of the work to this point had been on honing his powers and abilities. He DID like swords and was pretty good at the, for a beginner, so ultimately, he chose a simple rapier sword and was taking a few practice swings and lunges with it to get a feel for it before the real test began.

Guillermo de la Cruz

Guillermo was looking over his weapons selection and ended up picking up a crossbow.

He glanced over at Graham with a shy smile, “hi - “ he started to say and of course that was when a bright rainbow suitcase appeared labelled ‘in the closet’

Guillermo turned bright red and stared down at the floor, wishing it would swallow him up.

"Range weapon!" said Graham, grinning with approval when he looked up from his dielirbations at Gullermo's greeting. "Niiice! And if Kurt's got a sword, maybe I should do something like an axe? Or a bludgeoning weapon! Or maybe my bare hands!"

That last part was said with an exceptional bold, growling sort of tone as he flex and curled his fists to show the mighty prowess that he absolutely did not have, and that was when Graham noticed the colorful suitcase and tilted his head at it, looking confused, because, despite what it said, it clearly was not actually in any closet at all!

And if Graham had any sense of self-awareness about it, he might have been hit with a nick sack of Oblivious right now, but, as it were, he was still apparently good with just his two about Not Living Up to his Potential and his Dead Dad.

Well, there was the socially stunted one, too, but that had been tucked away in his cloak by now.

‘Yes!” Guillermo said rather enthusiastically and glanced down at that way too obvious bag , maybe Graham wouldn’t ask?

Suitcases with ‘In denial’ and ‘catholic guilt’ then appeared and he grimaced.

“I mean …um…the axe does sound cool, it could be a theme,” he said awkwardly, “even though using your bare hands would be different and …um…” and then he noticed the bags Graham had gotten and he wasn’t sure what to say to that. “Um…”

His voice trailed off awkwardly as he got his very own ‘can’t talk about feelings’ bag.

"Zooouuuuunds," said Graham, blinking a little, his eyes bouncing from one bag to the other as if he wasn't sure where to look or where he should be looking for the next bags to appear. "You just had three new bags appear in practically no time! That's as many as I've gotten total!"

Because maybe the island actually had no idea what to do with you and your currently somehow impervious to trauma self, Graham?

Don't worry, that'll definitely catch up with him, but not for at least a year or so.

And, knowing there were only two bags visibly accountable right now, he reached into his pocket to pull out the little pouch that said Socially Stunted and dangled it in front of him. "See? I was hoping there'd be jewels or coins in there...it looks like the kind of bag you'd find jewels or coins in, right? But, alas! It's pretty empty."

He opened it up and turned it upside to prove it.

"I like your really colorful one, though!" he added, with a nod toward that first one. "I'm glad you didn't listen to it, either, it's way too pretty to just stay inside of a closet all the time."

“They only just started appearing,” Guillermo admitted, “I wasn’t too sure what was happening at first,”

Aside from the fact that all of his secrets being revealed that is.

“It would be nice if there was something in the luggage,” Guillermo considered, because that might make this whole thing less awkward. “it wouldn’t be so bad then,”

Guillermo glanced down at the rainbow one, at least Graham hadn’t seemed to pick up on what it meant.

“It is rather colourful isn’t it?” he could totally talk about the actual aesthetics of the suitcase and not about what it was revealing.

As he said it another trunk labelled ‘Vampire Killler,’ appeared in black and red.
