WEEK 6

[lockdownmods]

[Week six comes like an ominous wave. If anything, the wall is more threatening that it's ever been. That sign from last week? Looks aged-- like it's far more than just a week old. But more than that, it feels like something is waiting to snap this week. What could possibly go wrong, after last week?

Said no one ever, at this point.

But still, if you look around this week, you might find out something. It's like someone has started leaving clues in places old and new. Take a look around.]

THURSDAY ACTIVITY

[lockdownmods]

[in the classroom, there are videos playing, and in the center a... soft mat? with boxing gloves?

the videos are self defense instructions.

you know.

just in case.]

[swordsinternally]

... Self defense instructions, huh.

[ That is the flattest response that anyone's going to get from Tsukasa today. What people might notice is that he seems to be carrying a bag over his shoulder — specifically, what seems to be a quiver that came with the archery supplies that he took a few weeks back. ]

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Hey there, Rantaro's pointing questioningly at the quiver. What's up with that?]

[swordsinternally]

I've been trying to carry it around more often, just in case anything happened... like Monday.

[ He doesn't think that he'll be able to perfect physical self defense, especially when he already has a pretty set fighting style. ]

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Oooooh... Nod, nod, nod.

Can Rantaro catch a glimpse of what's in the bag here?]

[swordsinternally]

[ It's a quiver, so there's a bow and arrows, like you'd expect! ]

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Huh. Thought there was gonna be a sword in there. Time to get out the notebook...]

What if something gets too close?

[swordsinternally]

Don't worry, I'm pretty athletic, so I can always use my arms and legs. I don't exactly have a good place to put Tawrich and Zarich and make it easy to grab right now.

[whatsmytalentagain]

[He raises an eyebrow.]

What's taurich and zarich?

[He probably misspelled the names.]

[swordsinternally]

They're a pair of twin swords that I owned as Angra Mainyu.

[whatsmytalentagain]

... Hm.

Lemme guess, too big to fit in the quiver?

[swordsinternally]

Quivers were only made to fit archery stuff to begin with, so it's honestly not that big.

[ And his swords are a pretty strange shape. ]

[whatsmytalentagain]

Mn.

[Okay, nod. That makes sense.]

[buriedearth]

Yeah...I have to wonder if they did this on purpose.

[ He might sound a little bitter, and...vaguely irritated, but that's probably not surprising.

Anyway, he's here too, if only because he saw the set up of things and wanted to see what was going on with that. ]

[swordsinternally]

Probably. But the fact that nobody's supervising is definitely... kind of strange.

[buriedearth]

Kind of, yeah. Whenever something like this has been set up, at least someone's been here. [ ... ] Or actually, usually just...Han.

[swordsinternally]

Do you think Han might have had this set up in advance?

[buriedearth]

...He might've.

[ ... ]

If that's the case, then this wasn't done to send a message or...or anything.

[swordsinternally]

To be honest, after what happened on Monday... I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to teach us self defense to protect ourselves.

[buriedearth]

Right, with Connor, and...

[ That thing. ]

He wasn't wrong to be worried about it. I'd wondered how many of the others would be able to really defend themselves if it came to it.

[swordsinternally]

Yeah... I'm no good with hand to hand combat, but I can use a pair of swords and a bow and arrow fairly well.

[buriedearth]

That's not bad.

[ There's still a but in his tone, however. ]

...Want me to teach you some hand-to-hand? As a just in case it doesn't work out with either of those weapons. It'd be better than probably just listening to only a screen.

[swordsinternally]

[ Tsukasa easily catches that tone, but it's not necessarily a bad thing, in his opinion. ]

It might be helpful for the future, so I'd appreciate it a lot. I probably learn better by doing than watching, anyway.

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Nobody is here to supervise the activity.

Anything goes.

Rantaro's gonna watch the videos and go investigate the room instead of actually sparring. Ya know, since Rantaro isn't an impulsive fight guy.]
