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!]

"Oro."

"...all right. Before you explode."
She crawled off of him and couldn't help laughing just a little.

"I didn't know until you turned red, you know. Didn't say anything to tell me."

"You're going to be stupid about me being a girl as well?"
Re: Find a Partner! Spar!
"If we were enemies I could just kill you, and it wouldn't matter. But since we're not." He scowled. "We're not related, and you're not married."
Re: Find a Partner! Spar!
She rolled her eyes.
"I might as well be related to you. Unless you have interest in me other than as a sparring partner."
Re: Find a Partner! Spar!
Pretty girl!
Re: Find a Partner! Spar!
"Fair enough. I'll try not to use it against you in a fight," she said after a minute, "but I can't help being a girl. And getting you on the ground does negate your speed. Fair?"
