Practical Weaponry [Wednesday, Period Four]

[doubleohblonde]

"Good afternoon," Bond addressed his assembled class. "This class is Practical Weaponry, and it's more or less exactly that. Each week I will be presenting a scenario here in the Danger Shop, and your job will be to find a way to survive it using either methods that I will have discussed with you beforehand, or by improvising something on your own. I will be demonstrating the use of ranged, and unranged conventional weapons, as well as showing you ways to improvise weaponry from seemingly innocuous everyday items. If anyone has a problem with this, the door is over there."

He paused before continuing. "Unlike certain of your other teacher, I won't be making you wear uniforms, but I would advise you to wear comfortable clothing that allows you freedom of movement."

"Now, onto the matter of teaching assistants." One day Bond would ask for volunteers, or even interest in being his TA. This was not that day. "Reese, Hathaway, congratulations."

"Since it's our first week, we'll just stick to introductions. I want your names, class, what weapons experience you have, and how you personally would handle the zombie apocalyspe," Bond said. He pointed at a random student. "You first."

What? Totally a weapon

It's short and sweet.

Okay, Dinah was totally right. This instructor was totally hot.

Rose settled in to enjoy the class.

Okay, Hannibal could do this and he thought the professor was hot too. He knew weapons and he'd had some experience with zombies now. He was a pro.

Sort of.

Wow, Turtle, you so weren't kidding. Neither were you, Francine.

Dinah attempted to be nonchalant. The intimidation factor of how Professor Bond explained the class helped a lot.

Turtle might have been listening and thinking about how hot Mr. Bond was, too, if Mr. Bond didn't have to go an mention those freakin' uniforms.

Ohhh, the blaze this semester would be glorious indeed.

Unlike certain other classmates, it took until Mr. Bond had finished his lecture for Karla to realize that, why yes, this man was hot.

Fortunately, it meant that she was able to take notes without distractions.

Name, class, experience, zombie plan.

"Rose Hathaway, senior," Rose said easily. "I've been training as a guardian since I was a little kid." She shrugged. Zombies were about the same as Strigoi. "Get the civilians to safety, set guards around the safe zone and then lots of fire and then an axe or baseball bat or something to bash in their skulls."

"Kyle Reese, Junior. If you can shoot, I can probably use it. I've been able to shoot since I was big enough to hold a gun. Pistols, rifles, shotguns, automatic, semi-automatic, rocket propelled, grenades, claymores. I might have left some stuff out. As for the apocalypse? The plan is survive."

"Hannibal King, senior and I'm pretty good with my fists but better with handguns, shotguns and some rifles," he said. "I'm also not too bad with knives or heavy things like baseball bats, crowbars or chairs. As for the zombies, probably gather up or join up with a group of people and split them up. One group shoots them to try and slow them, the other slashes with machetes or the like to kill them. All else fails, you can always set them on fire."

"Dinah Lance, senior. I've been training to fight crime for two years. I'm trained in hand-to-hand, close weapons, sword and guns. Plus I have telekinesis." She took a breath. "And when the zombies were here we focused on protecting the civilians, set up barricades to keep the dorms safe, taking out the zombies with ranged weapons first, then short-ranged weapons and fire, and trying to find the cause of what was going on in order to stop the attacks."

"Hinata Hyuuga," she said, carefully trying not to stutter. "I t-think I'm a junior now? Or will be in the fall..."

She and her mun always got confused about the summer classes.

"I've had s-seven years of formal training, and three on active duty," she continued. "I would--build f-fortifications, and then burn the zombies."

"Serena van der Woodsen, senior," the thing was, she had very little practical weaponry experience. It was part of why she was here. "I'm deadly with a field hockey stick, and I've been to a firing range, and know how to fence. It's probably not going to get me far, but in a zombie apocalypse?" She winced, realizing how lame she likely sounded, "I'd be the girl going for the kneecaps. Don't knock field hockey until you've played it."

"I am Arthur Pendragon," Arthur answered, choosing to forgo the titles for once, as they didn't particularly seem applicable in this class anyway ('Sir' might have worked, but). "Senior. I've been trained to kill since birth, with the use of weapons from my time."

He was hoping his manner of dress would communicate the nature of said time to Bond, yes. "As for the zombies," he glanced towards Dinah, "We barricaded the school, brought as many in to safety as we could, then set up a flaming trap and armed ourselves while the sorcerers looked into the cause. It worked."

He had also got his brain smashed in in the process, but details.

"T.R. Wexler," Turtle offered with a smile, "better known as Turtle. I'll be a senior in the fall, and I've been attending here since my freshman year, which, believe me, has opened me up to a lot of things to fight. I've been training with a gun for about two years, and I've started hand-to-hand combat training recently, and hope to pick up some weapons training, too. Being a good shot and shin-kicking can only get you through so many situations, after all. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, I think I'd handle it an awful lot like we did when the zombies attacked not too recently. Find a stronghold, establish a defensive barrier while trying to figure out a solution to put an end to it. So long as you can have a defensive and protected area, you have a chance of survival."

"My name is Triela. I'll be a Junior in the Fall." She took a moment to collect her thoughts. "I am an expert in virtually all modern firearms with a focus on short-range equipment: shotguns, SMGs, and pistols."

"It turns out that most films and literature on the subject are correct: one of the most efficient approaches to eliminating zombies is a shotgun. As long as you've got ammo it's pretty much one shot, one kill."

"Tybalt of the house of Capulet," Tybalt practically purred. Because he liked hearing his own name, and what of it? "Senior. I've been well-versed in the use of firearms. My Rapier hath allowed me to live to see the rise of another morrow on more than a single occasion."

Rapier was totally a brand name.

"I daresay it might afford me the same luxury in the unlikely event of the dead rising to walk again."

"Anemone, rising senior, and I tend to be hands-on," she said. "I'm a trained fighter pilot, and I've got the longest confirmed kill list of current UF Force personnel."

Being a party to the attempted genocide of your entire species rather helped with that.

"If I'm not flying, I'm more of a kick-them-in-the-head type of person, but that doesn't work with zombies." Unfortunately. "I guess next time I encounter one, I'll set it on fire. Burning things usually works, and you can do it from up a tree or some other respectable distance."

Karla listened to everyone's explanations of their zombie-defense plan before giving her own. Mostly because she hadn't been entirely sure what they are. From that, however, and the band at Caritas, she was leaning towards and evil version of the demon-dead from home.

"I'm Karla, freshman," she said when it was her turn. "I have very little physical training, though I am being taught knife-fighting and pistols now. Since I've only been doing that for a few weeks, however, I consider myself almost an amateur at either. However, I wear a Sapphire Jewel and am a Black Widow. I have Craft and a lot of it, my shields can stand up to many different kinds of guns," she flashed a grin at Triela, "and I can throw energy blasts for a really long time. I'm an expert in poisons, I can neutralize a lot of them, and I have this." She held out her hand and extended her serpent's tooth. "It's very venomous," she said quietly. "It can kill a man." She did not add that she was speaking from experience.

"As for zombies, I wouldn't light them on fire," she continued thoughtfully. "They are dead, cannot feel pain, and the fire would need to be very hot in order to burn them to ash. In that time, unless they were otherwise incapacitated, they could wander around, setting other things on fire, thus giving us another thing to worry about. I would shield the civilian populace as best I could, try to corral the zombies into one location, airwalk to a position above them and either incinerate them with Craft, or blast them in the head, since everyone agrees that that is the best way to kill one of the creatures. With any luck, I'll have friends around who are proficient in other ways of killing," another grin for Triela and Dinah "and as long as they were shielded, it meant that I wouldn't be responsible for killing all of the creatures. As long as I ration my power carefully, I should have enough strength to last for several hours."

"Elle Bishop, sophomore, I've taken some weapons classes so I can probably identify just about any weapon. Have a passable use of most guns." She didn't even blink at the zombie thing. "As for the zombies... get people to safety if possible and then electrocute the fuck out of them. The zombies, I mean. Not the people."

Talk to Bond - PW [Week 1]

He's here and listening.

Talk to the TAs - PW [Week 1]

Who are no doubt overjoyed.

Re: Talk to the TAs - PW [Week 1]

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

This was a class she was actually interested in (and not just for the hot professor), and Rose was perfectly happy to be a TA for it.

If it meant she got to do extra fighting? So much the better.

OOC - PW [Week 1]

Because Bond needs somewhere to be sexyfine.
