Behind the Dorms, Tuesday Afternoon

"Okay!" Zack grinned as he bounced to the forefront of today's reserves meeting, more than happy to be able to take the reins today.

It meant that he got to be all responsible, or something. He was game for the challenge!

"Today we're going to focus on familiarizing ourselves with weapons that we might have never considered using! Because, let's face it, sometimes the unspeakable happens and we get caught in a jam without anything readily at our disposal but what we can grab from nearby. Either someone else is down for the count and you make do with their weapon, or you end up swinging around whatever you can reach. Being able to improvise is just as important as being a master of your weapon of choice."

"A broomstick can be a staff," said Arthur, who had no experience with that kind of thing. At all. Really. "Any sharp object can be thrown. Anything with an edge can be used as a dagger or a sword, provided you know how to use one, and where to look. I assume you all have eyes."

"And that's why our pile-o-stuff today is more than just the practise weapons we've been using," Zack agreed, putting his hands on his hips and grinning at the people gathered. "If you look close enough, you'll be able to find pretty much anything from bags of marbles to the kitchen sink. Grab something you'd never think of using otherwise, pair up, and put those weapons to use!"

Zack, of course, was making a grab for that random beach umbrella, there.

Arthur, meanwhile, was going for the broom. For no reason. Really.

[Please wait for the OCD! OCD is up! This reserves meeting is officially in-session!]

"You mean... You can make anything into a sword."

She nodded.

"My hair. A rubber band."

She almost thought it would be a bad idea to admit, but she might as well.

"A necklace around someone's neck."

"A stone?" he asked. "A scarf?"

She nodded and reached into the pile to pull one out, a scarf. She ran her hand along the length, straightening it into something very like a blade. She turned and used it to slice the other part of the DVD rack, the part they wouldn't be using, in half. She figured they probably weren't supposed to go back undamaged anyway if they were supposed to fight with them.

Then she let the scarf drop.

".............................Are you sure there are no onmitsu in your family?" he asked in an undertone. Kami and youkai aside.

"For all I know," she said with a small smile, "there might be. But none of them have identified themselves as such. And I've not had any training.

"That's just what I can do. I get it from my mother. The, er, kami. She can do the same."

"Ah."

He paused, and then took the makeshift weapon Fiona had made.

"There's a blade on that side," she said, pointing.

"I gave you enough room for your hands, yes?"

He nodded, noting the 'edge' in his mind.

"It's good," he replied.

"Good. Let's go."

"...perhaps," he started, remembering what had happened last time. "If you and I are to be sparring, you should keep the edges off."

He nodded, and then he moved. Not having his sword did nothing to dull his speed.
