Battle Tactics and Strategy; Thursday, Fourth Period [03/14].
The danger shop was once against set up with a very heavily Niflheim-inspired fortress, only, this time, there were Magitek soldiers and cybersuits milling around outside. The class itself was stationed a good distance away, where Ignis stood looking thoughtful and reflective, while Prompto bounced around him, organizing and sorting through a variety of firearms, interesting looking machinery, assault weapons, missle launchers....and, yes, of course, at least one catapult and trebuchet and ballista each.
So if you hadn't figured out what today's topic was going to be, well, you were going to find out indefinitely.
"Last week," Ignis began, while Prompto, whistling softly, continued setting things up, and perhaps getting a little distracted by the weapons of his own design for the sim because, look, he liked what he liked, okay?, "we discussed combat in very close proximity, and, this week, we're leaning into the complete opposite of the spectrum." There was a faint touch of a smile there, having nothing to do with the fact that he had a feeling certain students might find this approach to combat much more...applicable to their preferred battle methods, really. "Long-range weapons, assault weapons, missile launchers, your basic bows and arrows and your siege weapons. Good for when you want to make a hopefully strategic attack without getting too close. Now, of course, there is a certain safety in attacking from a distance, but one can only assume that your enemies are also equally well equipped and may just volley an attack back, but we're not necessarily speaking on defenses against long-range attacks today, so much as the offense of them, though we can certain start delving into that if the conversation leads us there. And while I can do well enough with the application of a weapon as a long range one, such as throwing a dagger or an axe or a lance, the long range expert on our team was, of course," he cocked his head toward Prompto, who lifted a hand from a pistol he was holding to wave and grin, "Mr. Argentum here. So he will be giving the rundown on the application of the various long-range weapons he's prepared for us today. I'll turn it over to him, then, and then we will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of these weapons and hopefully give you the chance to try a few of them out on the field to get used to the idea of using them and thinking of them strategically..."
There seemed to be something pointed in the way he said that, directly specifically at the blonde with the beard and the guns behind him, who rolled his eyes.
"Prompto?"
"Right!" said Prompto. "So! Let's talk guns! Big guns, little guns, massive guns, laser guns...there's a lot more to it than just point and shoot, and different situations are going to call for a different weapon, so let's get into it...."

"Well," he said, the hand sliding toward her waist and to her back almost subconscious and automatic, especially with that finger down his chest, "since you asked so nicely..."
Honestly, there was a part of him that just regretted being unable to see it all in actual, though he did have a rather powerful imagination when he needed to...

Although that was really what her and Tony's friendship was, at its heart."I adore you." She gave him a quick kiss in thanks - paired with a sharp nip at the end that promised of better kisses once they had returned somewhere more private where her appreciation could be more effectively expressed - and then was gliding off to harass Prompto about the best weapons to use if one wished to wage war upon the fortress until nothing was left save a smoking crater.
In the end, it was a grand symphony of violence and destruction, and Liliana did feel much better once she'd drawn it to its inevitable conclusion.
