Behind the Dorms, Tuesday Afternoon

"Alright!" When the Reserves crew assembled today, they'd be greeted by Zack, holding up... Half a sword! The last two feet of the length of his blade were nowhere to be seen, and what survived was the hilt, and a length of metal that had definitely seen better days. "Broken weapons! They happen! I know some of you think your blades are all but ( Read more... )

Your weapon is broken! What do you do? Is it possible to make use of the weapon you have, if it shatters, stops working, or is otherwise damaged? What might you find in your general vicinity on the island that you can use as its stead?

And remember, there is no shame in running for your life, if you're overpowered and unarmed.

Useful. She might need to see her in action one of these days. Azula only nodded, giving nothing away. "Poison?"

"Some," she said, "be damn stupid to ignore something as useful as that."

"Yes, it would be." She glanced at her again, "You also know Triela?"

"Mmm, yeah." Ino tugged at her hair and wished she had the power to draw more cookies over to her. "We're friends, I guess."

Azula supposed it was only natural. Like called to like. "That's good."

"Any particular reason it's good?" Ino asked, quirking an eyebrow at her.

Azula shrugged. "Not really. I was making conversation. It seemed like the thing to say."

Azula and normal small talk should never mix.

Oddly, that bit of honesty had Ino liking her a tiny bit more.

Funny that.

"If you're going to try for regular conversation," Ino commented, "you're going to have to learn to at the very least, fake interest."

"How kind of you to give advice," Azula said ever so sweetly.

Nice Azula, you were trying to be nice.

Ino's eyes were darkly amused.

"You're a warrior," Ino pointed out. "I'm the spy. I'm not telling you how to do your job out in the field, so kindly respect that I might know what I'm talking 'bout when it comes to the fine art of conversation."

She had a point and Azula acknowledged this with a bow of her head. Yes, she was arrogant and haughty and thought 90% of the population were beneath her but she wouldn't be where she was if she didn't acknowledge instruction where needed.

"I concede your point."

"I've had my Fang taked from me before," she really, really did not look pleased at the reminder of that particular incident. "I find, in this case, fists work well. Teeth, too, against enemy who is not Beast."

She grinned, then, "And to speak of such- have not yet met any who could take Blind Seer's fangs or claws. He not be pleased with anyone who take my Fang from me." Blind Seer gave a nicely-timed yawn just then, showing off an impressive array of very sharp teeth.

"Use the broken pieces. Pick up something else."

She was also a bit sheepish considering her talent.

"I can use pretty much anything if I have to."

"I think I've got sort of an ace in the hole with this one," Turtle said with a grin, "especially since the weapon is just there so I can save the shin kick for the right moment."

"And if the shinkick is my broken weapon? I've got loads of worse problems."

Mat smiled. "The nice thing about learning the quarterstaff is as long as you have a tree branch, you have a weapon," he said. "The ashandarei I use is Power-wrought, which means that if it shatters, my luck has definitely run out and another weapon really isn't going to help me escape my head on a chopping block."
