Archery Workshop #2, 5/30, Danger Shop, Afternoon

The Danger Shop is set up like an outdoor archery field this week, with fifteen targets, fifteen bows, and fifteen quivers of arrows. The arrows, the students will find, are tipped with suction cups. Off to one side is Miho, lounging in a lawn chair with an umbrella. On the table next to it is the sign-in sheet. An incongruous freestanding blackboard is set up next to her, with the words Beginning Archery. Shoot the targets. Leave when you are done. written on it.

Miho gets up, takes up her own bow and a suction cup arrow, and demonstrates for the class by shooting at the first target in the line. Bullseye. Then she returns to her seat, picks up her glass of lemonade, and watches for any errors in form she'll need to correct.

Under the last person so the thread collapses, please.

Please note that shooting other students even with suction cup arrows will earn detention.

Well, you're finally getting to shoot things.

She's the teacher. Make her be teachy. The Danger Shop's safety protocols are still on.

It's the OCD threads saying, "We are done."

Buffy Summers

Belthazor

Bel was disappointed to find suction cups instead of pointy things. Nevertheless, he choose a bow and began to fire. Missing the target by a mile in his first few attempts.

Dawn Summers

Dawn looked at the arrow, then back at Miho, but decided not to argue the suction cups. She took aim, fired, and hit the target first try. Unfortunately, the arrows were lighter than she was used to, so her aim was off.

Isabel Evans

Bel scowled at the suction cup arrows. "When do we get to use the real thing?" he muttered.

Molly Hayes

Isabel blinked at the suction cups then shrugged. She loaded an arrow into the bow, focused on the target, and shot. She did not squee when she hit the target. At least not out loud.

Gwynn Hood

Gwynn spent a great deal of time examining the arrow with the weird things at the end of it. She had never seen anything like these and she failed to see their function as anything useful.

On her first try, she hit the target, but her aim was off because of the weight difference between the suction cup arrows and the arrows she used on a regular basis.

Frowning, she spent a few shots getting used to the weird arrows and started making stance adjustments because of it.

Finally, she started firing with her usual accuracy and assurance.

Gwynn looked at him. "Perhaps they are afraid that we will shoot other people?"

Bel made a face. "There'd be some people I'd be tempted to shoot, but that's not in the plan for today."

Gwynn shrugged. "I don't understand why we're not using real arrows, either, but the understanding that it keeps others from being hurt by shots that are too wide off course might make sense."

"I still think suction cups are stupid," Bel grumbled.

Buffy didn't care that it was just suction cup arrows. It was still shooting stuff, and shooting stuff was fun! Ready, aim, fire!

"I agree that they do not make much sense."

"I'm having stickiness issues," Dawn complained as her arrow bounced off the target for the third time.

Sam Winchester

"I've seen you around," Bel said, "but have we officially met? I've met so many people lately I can't keep track."
