Diana was feeling bratty, so archery it was. She might have been playing with the probabilities to make her shots spell out letters on the targets.

Chloe was looking at everything with careful interest and decided archery had the least likelihood of her hurting someone accidentally.

Naomi had never done archery before, so she decided to give it a try. Her shots weren't exactly perfect but they managed to get near where they were supposed to go.

Fiona liked bows and arrows. Anything with a string was usually a good bet with her.

And she was good at it.

Any Other Activity [AiL: Class Two]

[demon_cupid]

Whatever Robin Hood-related hijinks you can think of that won't cause excessive damage to the school, yourself, or others.

Didi went over to a row of horses and started fussing over them, wondering if there was enough space to take one out for a trot. It had been a while since she'd ridden.
