Behind the Dorms, Tuesday Afternoon

Huh. No Arthur to be seen, which meant that Zack was going to step up to the Reserves-Leader-Plate again, grinning a little. He kinda loved taking charge! So what?

"So, since we're hopefully starting to get into the swing of things again, this week we're going to talk about our weapons. Again!"

Why not?

"Every weapon has strengths and weaknesses. My sword, for example, has excellent reach because of its size, but it sacrifices manoeuvrability as a result. An arrow is better for ranged attacks, but weather conditions like rain or wind might affect your aim. Some weapons might rust in certain weather. And being on an island, well, we're prone to that kind of weather, yes. So what we're going to do today is try to come up with one example of a shortcoming of our weapon of choice, and how we're going to account for it!"

Zack then motioned to a cardboard box over by the wall.

"And please, please take a bag of Oreo cookies with you when you go. For you, for a friend, whatever. I might have bought a few too many."

A few cases too many.

[The Reserves are, as always, open to one and all!]

Look, Arthur hadn't figured out this whole 'new network' thing for several days, so he could be excused for not letting Zack know about anything.

At least he sent the Went to Canadia on an airplane. It is very humid. Watch the reserves. in time? Sort of? During.

Leto was here too, and quite capable to deal with anything that might come up, he hoped.

Beavers aren't the problem. Vancouver seems to be bleeding demons all over. We've got it well in hand.

Arthur did the best reassuring text messages ever.

Look, Leto got a text message, too.

I'm in Canadia for the week. Don't do anything on my end of the room.

So, so descriptive.

Even with as many strategy meetings as she'd been in while she was home Tahiri had missed the Reserves. For one, there were cookies (and don't think she didn't take a bag of Oreos). For two, nobody yelled and pounded people on the back the way Admiral Kre'fey did.

Ever had an overly enthusiastic Bothan banging on the nearest convenient flat surface that just might be your shoulderblade while he yells about blowing things up?

Yeah. Tahiri didn't miss that.

Just watch the reserves, Arthur commanded, and, after a moment of considering his phone, added, Beavers don't eat people, who in god's name told you that?

Food two weeks in a row? Firekeeper wasn't going to complain about that. Even if cookies weren't quite possessing much nutritional value.

Blind Seer, on the other hand, was complaining about why couldn't they have a nice fat boar for eating, just once?

Leto read the message, then sent one back:

There is no need to worry. I'm sure they will tidy up after themselves.

Very funny, Leto.

They don't.

This was all Arthur was going to say on the topic.

"Fang," Firekeeper started without any preamble, holding up the dagger she kept by her side. "Is for close-range only. Can be thrown, but if I not strike right, prey may still have strength to run and take my Fang with them."

I'm glad that you have reconsidered about my sense of humour.

Arthur took a moment to think about whether or not he cared enough to respond to that, and fell towards no. Don't do anything I wouldn't do, he instructed. Maybe you'll learn something.

Worf held aloft what appeared to be a crescent shaped, two-ended scimitar.

"This is a bat'leth, a traditional weapon of my people. Translated from my language it means sword of honor. This bat'leth has been in my family for ten generations."

Worf frowned a little after making that statement as he suddenly realized that he may be the last of his family to use this weapon.

Fiona smiled. Maybe this week she'd go bug Zack about doing strategy again.

...

That was a lot of cookies. Ino, all glittery and stuff, was eying them a bit dubiously.

What? It gave her something to think about that wasn't 'blah blah blah'.

(No offense, Zack.)
