The Haling High kids I met on Saturday wanted to know if we play sports.

I just told them no but now I want a decoy sport that we can say we're secret champions at in case this issue comes up again.
Someone join my ragtag imaginary fencing team or come up with a better idea.

That's because it's hardly even a lie. I see archery and fencing at this school all the time, 'cept we usually call that last one "swordfighting" and instead of somebody in a silly outfit, there's a Shadow at the pointy end.

But no one's got to know we're practicing for Training and not for some competition.

Covert Olympic training grounds. You're ON to something.

I sure like to think so, although it sounds like not everybody agrees.

[vanghost]

That's ok.
There's room for both medals and blood sports around here.

I don't want to clean up anybody's missing arms, all right? So if y'all lose a limb or two during the fight club, you'd better mop up after yourselves.

[vanghost]

No real limbs lost.

That's what they always say, and then two months later, I'm helping someone strap on their plastic foot.

[vanghost]

How often has that happened to you exactly.
