Magic Reserves Meeting, Wednesday Afternoon (After Classes)

[glacial_queen]

The Reserves were kind of fidgety today. Karla, at least, was filled with a kind of nervous energy that made it hard to keep still. This would be a nice break from her current state of constant near-exhaustion, if it hadn't come with all kinds of, well, emotional distractions. The kind that made it hard to concentrate.

Mostly--since we're all being honest here--because her libido was racing along faster than a NASCAR driver. And she didn't even get that reference. ( snipped for sexy honesty? )

The Salle, Wednesday Afternoon

James finished his forms and stood, stretching a bit. He walked over to his items and began inspecting the blade for nicks and imperfections he knew were not there. Normally, sword practice left him relaxed. Today, he was still on edge and would welcome distractions.

(Open! SP as at work.)

Cheerleading Practice, The Gym, Wednesday after classes

Harper had been in a bit of a daze all week. She wasn't sure why, but all she could think about was kissing boys. She was still daydreaming when she started setting up for practice, which is why the set up mats all over the gym until she ran out. Someone had forgotten how many cheerleaders to expect.

Girls With Guns - Shooting Range [Wednesday afternoon]

"Sometimes, you don't have the best working conditions," Makita began. "Maybe you're out in the desert, and you get sand in your barrel. Maybe it's pouring. Or maybe you tripped and dropped your gun down a canyon and had to go fetch it. But it's important to know how to safely take your gun apart, clean it, and reassemble properly to prevent jams or other accidents."

Triela was nodding. "And even if you're somehow lucky enough to never run into bad weather or terrain, just firing your weapon is going to put wear on its parts. Knowing how to check to see which springs or pins might be close to wearing out is something you'll need even if you only ever shoot a gun out on the range."

"If this is something you already know how to do, we have blindfolds!" Makita held up a selection of bright silk scarves she'd purchased from Pixie Dust. Because they were pretty. "You might not always have electricity!"

"Makita's right. Or you might be outdoors at night. There are any number of reasons that you might not have enough light to properly see when working on a gun. But only take a blindfold if you actually know what you're doing." She and Makita might race later or something. "Even when you're taking one apart, a gun is not something you play around with." Triela looked around. "If you need to borrow a weapon to work with, talk to us. Tool kits are also available. We'll be watching your work, so if you're not sure what to do, just ask."

Fifth Floor Common Room, Wednesday Evening

While Roy was aware that things were...weird today (and possibly for the last few days), he was also aware that he was hungry, dammit. So he was in the common room with way too much pizza. Also, no shirt. What? He was overly warm. He thought there might be something wrong with the heating system.

((Open common room is open for socializing, traumatizing, overshare...izing.))
