Another season, another large training session with her students.
A few have already gathered, and Hotaru has ordered them to begin stretching to prepare for physical activity. The room is large and empty, with no barriers or items to be seen, and Hotaru stands in the middle watching the small gaggle grow, noting how each person performs their own stretches and considering future changes to physical education.
When all have gathered, Hotaru takes from her hip a collection of long strips of fabric - and she creates a few more with a bit of magic when she re-counts all the available heads. [say]"Everyone please line up before me."[/say] Her voice calls an end to the warmup session, and as her students obey she begins walking down the line, handing fabric to each student in turn as she begins her lesson. [say]"Each of you will tie this around your eyes, ensuring you cannot see. There will be repercussions for any visual cheating."[/say] Other cheating techniques were entirely fair game in the melee that would ensue.
[say]"We will be playing a seemingly simple game of tag based on all senses aside from your eyes."[/say] Given she has no hybrid students, she doesn't feel the need to clarify no Attuned half-shifts were allowed either. [say]"You can tag and be tagged multiple times, as I will be keeping track of scores. I want you to think about how your magic is best utilized here; offensively, defensively? Can you misdirect, rebuff, or otherwise trick your fellows to avoid being tagged?"[/say] The goal is for them to think of these things themselves in time, but Hotaru knows some learn at a slower pace, and it is her job to get the wheels turning. [say]"Will you aim to tag as many as you can, or play evasively until the end?"[/say]
Stepping to the sidelines once she has reached the end of the row, Hotaru commands them to mill about - smiling slightly as a few inevitably bump into each other as the room fills, a few students already heading for certain areas in hopes of improving their chances. [say]"Begin!"[/say] And let the chaos ensue.
