Like the last time they covered this topic, a handwavy e-mail was sent round letting the students know to wear clothes they wouldn't mind getting messy. Also like last time, there's a table out by the dear God not lit campfire -- but it's not covered with cream pies. Instead, there's plastic laundry tubs full of multicolored balloons

Talk to Xander

[soldtoarmenians]

Or splat him with a balloon. Whatever.

"Oh, by shield you mean 'shield from Xander," he said, shaking his head. "And yet, the bribe part still works." He put down the balloon he was holding like a trusting fool.

"What other kind would I have meant?" Willow asked.

Re: Talk to Xander

[soldtoarmenians]

"One that Xanders could use to shield themselves from non-Xanders?" he answered.

Re: Talk to Xander

[willbedone]

"Yeah right," Willow said. She opened the bag and took out a cookie to munch. "See, this is the sort of thing I'm learning thanks to my sword lessons. You attack, but you also parry. It's an entire concept."

Re: Talk to Xander

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander reached for an Oreo. "I'm guessing parrying with cookies doesn't work real well in an actual swordfight, though."

Re: Talk to Xander

[willbedone]

"Could if you were fighting against those little stick pretzels," Willow pointed out.

Re: Talk to Xander

[soldtoarmenians]

"Ooh, or french fries!" Not that he'd ever had entire french fry duels with anyone, no.

Re: Talk to Xander

[willbedone]

"There it could depend on the fry," Willow said. "Because if we're talking fast food, then yes. But if it's one of those huge steak-cut kind? Could be problematic."

Re: Talk to Xander

[soldtoarmenians]

"Yeah, those get pretty soggy. They might just completely drench your shield in grease."

Bridge came to class totally prepared: wearing the swimming-gloves, and armed with a water balloon or two of his own.

Of course, the combination of *boyfriend* + water ballon = Bridge stands there with a "guh!" expression on his face for a few seconds before he remembers what he was supposed to be doing and hurls a water balloon at Xander.

Re: Talk to Xander

[soldtoarmenians]

It's entirely possible Xander isn't dodging them very hard, since getting hit is actually more fun than not, in this weather.

That's not stopping him from grabbing a balloon and hurling it back at Bridge's head, though.

Re: Talk to Xander

[bridge_carson]

"Eep!" Bridge says, and doesn't manage to duck in time to avoid getting hit.

Re: Talk to Xander

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander suspects there's something unprofessional about staring at your soaking-wet boyfriend in class when you should be trying to hit him with another balloon. So he multi-tasks.

Re: Talk to Xander

[bridge_carson]

Bridge laughs as the balloon hits him and sends two more flying back in Xander's direction.
