Shop Class; Tuesday, Fourth Period [02/13].
Amaya stood at the front of the classroom, not with her usual excitement for a project as she usually was, but, instead, with a deep sigh and a shake of her head.
"Apropos of absolutely nothing," she insisted as a way to get things started, "we're doing a project today that's going to utilize a lot of the tools and skills we've learned up to this point and learn how to make metal roses."
It was such a shame, really, that such a cool project was always tied in with such a terrible holiday, but....it was a cool project, and the students did seem to like it, and it was always a bit some good advertising for one of the more profitable items at the shop, especially this time of year.
"Now," she said, smoothing into that whole advertising part for a moment, "these are similar to the ones I actually make every year in my shop, but those are created and hammered out in the forge. These skip some of those steps and will utilize other tools, like metal saws, drills, and welding torches, to created an equally stunning result. Metal has a reputation for being tough, strong, and durable, but hopefully, this lesson shows you that, if you only know how, you can bend it to do some pretty impressive stuff fairly easily!"
There was a slight pause, the sort of pause of a woman who wished she could just go back to being oblivious to the metaphor inherent in her work.
"Anyway," she said, shaking her head, "I'll walk you through the process, let me know if you've got questions, and then it's time to gear up and get started on your own!"
