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.

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

"I guess that depends on what you're trying to hit," Molly said and loosed her arrow without much care. It sailed over the target.

"I was aiming for the heart," Dawn said, aiming again, but a little lower. "The center breastbone is really hard to get through if you don't have super strength behind you."

"Yeah, I suppose so." Molly had been thinking of wounding an opponent versus shooting a bulls-eye, but Dawn had a point. She missed the target again.

"You okay, Molly?" Dawn asked, unsure whether her missing the target was a lack of concentration or just a lack of experience. "I could help, if you want?"

Molly shrugged. "I just have stuff on my mind," she said.

"Anything you want to talk about?" She aimed at the target again, this time getting a bull's eye. "Darn it."

Molly eyed her and grinned. "'Darn it' for a bull's eye?"

She chewed the inside of her lip for a moment and then sighed. "I'm not sure how to explain it," she said finally.

"I was aiming for the heart," she muttered, "and ended up too far to the center."

"Well, you can start anywhere, and I'll try and catch up," Dawn suggested.

Molly sighed as she took another shot, hitting the target, but not anywhere near the bull's eye.

"People keep blaming Cam for something I started," she said. "And they never ask me about it first."

"Oh, that's annoying," Dawn said, "why don't they ask you?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly sighed again. "That's what I'd like to know. But, no. I only hear about it after they've already talked to Cam."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"And Cam's too much of a gentleman to blame you?" Dawn guessed.

"Maybe you're just aiming at a really tall target," Dean suggested.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Most vampires aren't over six feet tall," Dawn told him, "so I probably need to be aiming even lower than I would normally."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Vampire on stilts?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Yes, because you wouldn't believe how many vampires we run into who have just eaten a circus," she teased.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Hey you never know. I saw a really bad horror movie once that was all about vampires in a circus."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Really? What movie?" Dawn was always up for a truly bad vampire movie.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Funnily enough, it's called Vampire Circus," Dean said with a grin. "They didn't exactly knock themselves out coming up with a creative title."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

"And now I have to watch it," Dawn decided.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I'll have to see if I can find a copy of it for you," Dean promised. He looked around and leaned closer, lowering his voice, "Guess what I spent yesterday morning doing?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I have no idea," Dawn whispered back.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Broke into one of the empty rooms on the fourth floor."

"Aaaaaaaand?"
