Archery Workshop #3, 6/6, Danger Shop, Afternoon

[deadly_little]

The Danger Shop was set up much like it had been the week before: outdoors, targets, bows, quivers, except this time the arrows have the more traditional points on them, as opposed to suction cups. There is no blackboard, as Miho is being optimistic and hopes her students are smart enough to figure out what to do. The sign-in sheet is on a folding table near the entrance.

Miho prowls up and down the line of students, a pad of detention slips and a pen in hand and a tiny, very scary smile on her face. She was initially going to give the whole class detention just for the heck of it, but Goldie said she didn't think teachers were allowed to do that.

Shoot Things

[deadly_little]

At last, real pointy objects!

Re: Shoot Things

Parker's careful with the bow, and has her hair-ribbon on, her chest-protector in place, and gloves on to avoid bowstring cuts. Yes, she's obsessive.

She's not doing badly at aiming, but her fingers slip sometimes.

Buffy glees, and does much better with real arrows. The target is hit every single time, although repeated bullseye kind of escapes her. She doesn't seem to be doing an awful lot of aiming.

Gwynn may indeed have found her own version of heaven as she repeatedly hits the target.

Re: Shoot Things

[demonbelthazor]

Bel was psyched to have real pointy arrows. He fired at the target, managing to hit it about half the time, and even scored one bullseye by completely random chance.

Dawn nodded politely to Miho, then collected her bows and arrows and put on the safety equipment. Her hair was already tied back so it wouldn't get caught in the bowstring.

She shot a lot of arrows at the target, but wasn't completely accurate until she got used to using a bow instead of a crossbow. Even then, anyone watching would think she was continually off-center--she kept hitting the heart of the target, instead of the bulls eye.

Actually, the real pointy objects? Make Conner a little nervous. Which is silly, considering he used to run around with a sword a lot defying the laws of physics.

His hands were sweating because of the pointy-object-induced nervousness, which made it slow going; he had to keep stopping to wipe his hands off on his jeans before his fingers slipped too badly on the bowstring.

Conner only completely missed the target twice, which was better than last week, though only five ended up in the approximate vicinity of the bulls-eye. The rest of his arrows clustered in groups around the edges of the target.

Sam grinned when he saw that they'd gotten real arrows. It took a couple of practice shots before all of his arrows started going to the same place, and then a few more before he was hitting the bullseye with relative accuracy.

Alanna beamed at the fact that they were finally shooting real arrows. Her first few shots went pretty much everywhere but the center, but as time went on all her arrows clustered in the middle. They weren't all in the bullseye, most weren't actually, but at least they were together.

The arrows didn't matter to Molly. She just tried to be careful with how much she pulled on the bow again today. She hit the target, but not with any real accuracy. If she got a good shot, it was just luck.

Giving Sakurazaki pointy objects today? Probably not a good idea.

Her disposition wavers dangerously between being disgusted, embarrassed, really pissed off, and disenchanted quicker than that pleats in her skirt shift with the wind. Some of the arrows shoot nearly straight into the ground; others hit the target with amazing accuracy. It was much easier to hit the target if you imagined a particular face, she came to discover.

And, oh, the sighing. There's a lot of that. And occationally, she just finds herself having to stare, caught up in some sort of transe of thoughts and anger.

Conclusion? Not a good day for Sakurazaki and arrows.

Re: Shoot Things

Real arrows. This was more like it.

It took Dean two shots to get the range and then all his arrows were landing in a tight grouping, close to the center.

Hair tied back, dressed in the appropriate safety gear, Isabel carefully loaded the bow and took aim. It took several tries but soon she was able to land a majority of the arrows on the target. After that, she started aiming for the bullseye and was reasonably pleased when she started getting consistently close to it.

Re: Shoot Things

[janet_fraiser]

Janet's hair was up, off her collar and tied back, and she was dressed appropriately. But her aim isn't the greatest with a bow and arrow. She seems to get better as time goes on.

OOC: Eep, I totally missed this yesterday, sorry.

Talk Amongst Yourselves

[deadly_little]

Miho won't give you detention for it. Really.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"Booyah!" Buffy said appreciatively.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[demonbelthazor]

"I'm a lot more accurate with fireballs," Bel said with a scowl as one of his arrows missed the mark -- again.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Too high," Dawn sighed, as her arrow struck the target in the left shoulder area.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Come on, come on, red!" Conner kept muttering to himself as he took careful aim at the target.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[likethegun]

In between taking his own shots, Sam watched everyone else taking theirs. He figured it couldn't hurt to know how he was faring compared to everyone else.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

Alanna may have said something that sounded a lot like "doing" under her breath.

Ask Miho Questions/For Help

[deadly_little]

The safety protocols are still on, but she does have those detention slips. It's a toss-up.

Re: Ask Miho Questions/For Help

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

After spending a moment to compose herself enough to do this without making a complete fool out of herself, Sakurazaki pushes what's bothering her out of her mind and approaches Miho. She bows deeply. "Miho-sensei?" she asks, her voice placid, but her eyes hopeful.

OOC

[deadly_little]

C'mon, don't you want detention with Becky and Miho? *puppy eyes* Tell me here and Miho will find an excuse to give you detention!

What fun we shall have together!

*waves* Parker likes Miho. Really she does. Give her Detention for trying to get Jarod to move out of the Sin.
