Class that day would be meeting not in the danger shop training field, but, instead, in the park, actually, for two very good reasons:

1) It was the class before Halloween, and there was a tradition to be upheld here

and

2) Today's class was very topical to what was going to be going on later on that day.

"Today," Amaya started once the students or any passersby who wanted in on this action, because, well, when there were a few catapults and trebuchets and a bunch of pumpkins sitting there in a park, you had to check it out, right? "We're talking siege weapons, and when we do this class in the spring semester, we usually cover a wide range," heh, "of them, but, since we're doing this class in the fall this time, that means we're narrowing in on catapults and trebuchets and the fine autumnal tradition of a good old punkin chuckin."

And if all those siege weapons just so happened to be trained toward that big old Walmart in the woods, well...

Surely that was just coincidence, right?

"Let's get into it."

It's punkin' chuckin' time!

Even as excited as she is to get to the pumpkin chuckin', Amaya is clearly very passionate about making sure you know all about the hows and the whys and the histories of these beautiful machines before you get to using them! There's probably just about anything you'd need to know about these sorts of siege weapons in there, right down to the precise calculations on how much tension you need for a projectile of any given weight to the type of wood best suited for each design and type of missile used, but if you've got questions, she'll be happy to cover those, too!

And now for the easy part! After a few quick demonstrations of how to use the machines, it's time to put them to good use and chuck pumpkins at the Walmart!

And if a few just so happen to hit a Dunkin or two on the way, well, that fits the rhyme scheme pretty nicely, doesn't it? Meant to be.

They might, on occasion, need to be reminded to let the students do most of the chuckin'.

Ohhh, Amaya had big plans for later, so she was more than happy to let the students do...most of the chucking. But she was absolutely getting a few more in there herself, too.

Don't think Rosa's against launching actual people at the Walmart, either.

Not even just the Muppets!

(She does desperately want to launch her boyfriend, though, that was a totally normal thing to want, right?)
