Norse Life, Tuesday, Period 2

Today, the Danger Shop was set up as an axe-throwing range, with a beaming Thor presiding over it. "Today, we shall participate in an activity that has become quite popular of late, at your bars and such," proof that truly, nothing went better together than alcohol and throwing sharp objects, "although the ones found at such places are often made of plastic. Fear not, you shall be just as safe today. This is all a simulation," he reminded his students. "The activity is quite simple." He demonstrated by one-handedly chucking an axe at a target, which it hit dead center. "Now you try. We shall make a bit of a competition of it, hmm? The winner gets a prize! A ten dollar gift card to The Perk, which in this modern day is just about enough to buy a coffee, I believe." Now get to axe-chucking!

At first, Stewart's axe throws were all over the place...literally and figuratively. Some hit well, some wildly missed, but it would seem that the more he did it, got used to their weight, and developed a chucking style that worked for him (and was appropriately absurd), he started to do quite a bit better. Enough so that, by the end of it, he had a goofy proud grin on his face and was feeling pretty good about his performance overall.

Henry... was barely proficient with swords. Let alone bows. Let alone... throwing axes.

But Henry was also a determined sort. It helped imagining faces on the targets. He thought of Hans Capon, first, but it-- didn't feel right, somehow.

Instead he pictured Markvart von Aulitz.

And they went flying.

"There you go," Steve said encouragingly, letting his axes fly with freakish accuracy.

"Not with axes, but I throw things a lot," Steve said. "I've got a pretty good eye."

"Oh," Henry said, and tilted his head. "Do you have any advice? This is all new to me."

Steve nodded. "Of course. Throw for me and I can correct your stance."

"Right," Henry said, settling back in. He held the axe up over his shoulder. "Well. Here we go--"

The balance was off. It went swinging and juuust about hit the ground before the target.

"It's not a bad start," Steve said. "Square up your shoulders, aim at the target--" he offered a series of other easy to follow hints.

What of it if Steph was slightly more interested in watching Vi throw axes than she was in trying to figure out how to do a better job of it herself? Honestly, she was having enough fun doing the throwing (and occasionally getting the satisfaction of the thunk as the axe sank into the target) without caring that much about being super accurate.

Vi possibly might have been doing better herself if she put a bit less effort into making sure Steph got a good view and a bit more more into aiming. Whatever, it wasn't like she was doing the worst in the class.

"We're not ranged specialists, either of us," Steph said wryly. "And you're much more of a melee kind of girl. You still make it look good."

"I do like getting down and dirty," Vi said lightly, as innocent as the driven snow.

Steph narrowed her eyes playfully and shook her head, shoulders shaking with silent laughter as she bit back every response she could have made.

No surprise she missed her next axe throw.

"Need some help there," Vi asked. Helpfully!
