He looked over at Selena. Pfftt. What did girls know about battle armor anyways? "I look dashing," he told her matter of factly.

He picked up a French rolling pin. He looked at it and tested its weight balance. Good weapon. He held it aloof. "I name thee Anaklusmos!" He brandished the rolling pin. "Together we shall slay monsters in the name of the Gods!" This was going to be so much fun. He was dressed in traditional Scottish battle armor naming his sword after the sword Hercules himself carried. He got a wild look in his eye as he picked up a pizza pan. "With my sword Anaklusmos and my shield which shall be named Aegis. All shall tremble before me!" He declared. Yeah this was going to get epic...and dangerous.


Diggy smiled at William. It took a real man to know when another man looked good. "Why thank you kind sir," Diggy knew he looked good in his kilt. Good thing he remember to put lotion on his skinny legs. That would have been embarrassing.

He looked over at his friend as he ran around looking for her armor and battle gear. He nodded in approval. "Oh Spock is a good choice." He wasn't a big Star Trek fan but liked the new movie. It was awesome. His brother loved it. "Will you fight by my side?" Diggy asked Will seriously. He knew that it battles every General had a lieutenant. And Dillon being the shorter of the two knew he was just going to get to be the General.

Mehhrrr.

Xylon was totally not in the mood for this. The seventh year picked up a pot and wondered how it looked on his head. Then he grabbed a frying pan and wandered over to Gold. Who it seemed was talking to a pan.

"Dragnipur?" He smirked. "That isn't even classy." He waved a spoon in her face. "Hywelbane, now that's a name."

He was totally calling the frying pan that.

Smirrrkkk.


OOC: From the The Warlord Chronicles.

Completely oblivious to Marie and Carter at the moment, Evelyn stared wide eyed at her friend. Her suggestion was terrible!

Bang their heads together and risk a big ol' bruise on her head? No thanks!

"No, I'm good." she declined kindly before picking up the small pot she had grabbed and putting it on her head anyways. Who knew if Destiny was going to bang her head against hers anyways. She didn't want a bruise. The Slytherin was just finally getting rid of the ones she had.

Clearing her throat, and overhearing a few people ask about strapping the different pans and pots to their body, Evelyn smiled before leaning against the counter. She had already went through a list of spells in her mind that may have done exactly that, but there might have been one she didn't know that the Professor did.

Could be useful.

Ellie looked around....

She found a serving tray and strung a spoon through the handles. Shield.

She found a pot. Helmet.

She found a spatula... the pancake kind. Sword.... Wait? Sword? Or.... Wand? Confused.

"Professor, are we using our wands?" Now that was a dumb question. But smart. Oh well.

Now she needed some sort of mail shirt, armor....

Off to battle?!?!
Glllllllll...............

Patroclus heard “SUIT UP!” and in honor of his name’s sake, he did just that!

With a colander as a helmet, he attached a muffin tray to his chest as a breast plate! Next he slipped onto his wrist a couple of egg rings as ………… bangles?
With a whisk in one hand and a ladle in the other he cried “En Gard!”

HEHEHE.

Okay, Gold hadn't been able to help the grin that broke across her face, the moment she saw Xylon. The thing was, she was almost always annoyed to see him. Their meetings had, up till now, only resulted in a punch, a broken nose, extreme anger, a scene involving Dylan, a fake boyfriend, and -- well, the list could go on and on and on.

BUT! Right now, he just looked plain funny. Cute, yes, but funny. With a pot on his head, and a frying pan in his hand.

Then he spoke, and the grin had been wiped off her face.

"It's a perfectly lovely name," Gold frowned, pushing the spoon away as she grabbed a frying pan. "And this -" She eyed the new frying pan. "Is Iceflame, sworn enemy of Hywelbane." She stuck her tongue out at him, grinned slightly, and held on to both cake- and frying pan.

Best lesson in a long while, this.

BEST.

"Arm ourselves?" Rafe questioned as he began to look around. Rafe took a pasta strainer and made it his helmet. He took a human-sized cooking pot, probably used to make mass quantity of soup or something, and took out his wand and used the "Diffindo!" spell to cut out the button for his head to stick through, then two smaller holes for his arms to stick through on the side. He then took the lids of the pots and shrunk them down and attached to his arms and legs; four for each arm and then seven for each leg. He looked like some sort of tin man.

Mina looked up as she heard some noise. Bitting her lip to stop her giggles, one slipped through as she saw Patroclus. He was having much more luck with his armour than she was for sure.

"Looking good there Patraclus," she whistled before turning back to find something to use as her own armour.

Selena rolled her eyes. "Rip Tide?" Selena said. She was pretty sure that was what it meant. "You do know that sword was cursed right?" Selena said. It had a tragic story behind it. But Aegis... "Aegis... that's a pretty good choice..." Selena murmured.

It was a good thing he'd learned his share of charms. Raiden was going about, attaching things to his person with a quick tap of his wand. Cookie sheets on his chest and back (one for each seemed to cover enough of his rail-thin body to make him comfortable), and he'd managed to find several flat graters to put over his upper arms. Elbows would be a weak point, but... oh well. Some kind of... silicone spatulas, he'd placed on his arms to cover the spots not protected by the graters.

He'd covered his forearms with three flat metal spatulas each, sticking them on easily. The handles for the ones on the back of his arms jutted out awkwardly when he bent his elbows, but otherwise it was pretty good. A pot on top of his head (they all mostly matched Lainey now, didn't they) mostly finished off his armour; he'd kinda put a few other items here and there, to protect his legs (but who would be aiming at his legs??), but pretty much, he was done. Or so he hoped.

...Sabel was such a nerd.

So now his FRYING pan had a sworn enemy? Xylon smirked again, this time without actually realizing it. Yes he usually smirked on purpose. Especially when around Gold who he knew couldn't smirk to save her life.

"Iceflame. That's an oxymoron." Then again, so was Prefect Laksh. That was honestly the best oxymoron out there. Xylon smirked at the thought but regretted having done so, that moment he had. Now Gold would want to know why he had smirked this time round. If he refused to explain, she was going to be cold. If he explained, she was still going to be cold.

Ivory was excited! So excited in fact that she forgot the tune she'd been du-duming and had begun the all important job of humming the 1812 Overture as she rooted around for proper 'war' attire.

Hmm a strainer. turning it this way and that, she decided it would do for a helmet. It was light since it had holes so it had good ventilation but it still protected the noggin.

Nodding affirmatively she plopped it down on her head, and began the search for the rest of her armor.

Double eyebrow raise.

This was either going to be really fun or end in disaster. But Aaron went to go get suited up. He put a colander over his face with a pot on top of his head to keep the colander in place. Let's see... There was a two burner skillet so Aaron put that over his chest and wrapped it in aluminum foil. He then put small bowls over his knees and elbows and wrapped them in aluminum foil. He looked back up at the professor and at everyone else. They all looked ridiculous.

Now Aaron needed a weapon. Knifes... Naah. Don't want to hurt anyone. Ah ha!. Pizza spatula. he picked up the spatula and held it in front of him, ready for a battle.

Eh?

"It is meant to be named that," Gold said. She was thinking, not of the frying pan she held, but of the actual Iceflame. The sword she had read of. Shrugging, she skipped over to another drawer, and began to sift through its contents. Because of which she missed Xylon's smirk.

That was a good thing.

Otherwise, she might have ended up snappish.

She found a couple of hard, flat trays, with slightly rounded edges, which she decided would make excellent armour. It required a bit of charm-work, yes, but she managed to use one to cover the front of her torso; and the other, her back. Then she picked up several fish-slices, and stuck them on to cover her forearms, and shoulders.

There. Now, what else could she possibly arm herself with? She had an enlarged frying pan for a shield, but that was not enough. AND she needed to find some 'armour' for her legs and elbows.

Elbows, especially.

ESPECIALLY.

Frying pan (aka Excalibur).....spaghetti strainer as a helmet...cookie sheets lashed together with some twine used for tying chicken legs together or roast beef...a few tea strainers for projectiles...and...A TEAPOT!

With an ever increasing grin, Sabel hoped awkwardly over to another counter and whisked up the red teapot. "And glorious teapot you shall lead the victory for this fine nation....oh...fine China...errr..." He tenderly put the pot back on the counter. Probably best not to play with something so fragile. But that didn't mean he couldn't use...A SPOON!

With renewed, childish excitment, he snatched the wooden ladel off the counter and held it up with his frying pan. "And you shall be called Nazby! From the Great Gasby, only....Nazby!" Now he just needed Horus to complete his ridiculous set of armor and weaponry.

Kellen looked up at Sabel with a roll of his eyes, "It's Gatsby." And hmm, Sabel had a point about his ribs. Kellen rummaged through the cupboard and pulled out some small cutting boards, fastening them into place with a sticking charm. There. Ribs protected.

For the helmet, he chose an apple-sauce strainer, and from there added a cookie tray for a breastplate. This would be a lot easier if he knew what they were going to be attacking each other with.

“Oh my friend you need some help” Patroclus laughed at Mina, as he attached a muffin tray to her back and forced star cookie cutters onto her wrists!
Much better, he smiled steeping back looking at his modified warrior princess

Mina let another giggle out as she looked down at herself. It did look kind of silly, but she kind of liked it. "Why thank you, my dear friend." she smiled as she pulled a baking sheet out to attach as a breastplate. Pulling out a spatula, she raised it in the air. "I do think, we just might be getting somewhere with this."

She probably needed some headgear, she thought as she glanced around for something.

William face dropped, no emotions present in his eyes. time to get into characters he thought. "It's only logical." he said in a serious tone, wishing he knew the spell to transfigure his ears to a more pointy way. Of and change his hair to black. But as it was he couldn't do that and stood by Diggy's side, his phaser at the ready. "I am ready." he said before a huge grin overcame his face. Yeah he was too hyper to be stoic, right now at least he thought.

Looking at professor Lainey he waited for further instructions.

Just look at her! Xylon shook his head as Gold came back, arrayed with trays, spatulas and God-knows-what-else.

"You're losing your fashion sense," he said, smirking slightly because he knew that could very well annoy her. He didn't mean to bother her, it was like it was natural for him to say stuff that annoyed her.

"What are you going to do now?" He asked. "Name everything else you've chosen as your 'armour'?"

But he needed some armour too. Not because he wanted it but because he was here and that seemed like the best thing to do. It would also give him something to focus on. Anything that he could focus on was welcome. It ensured that he did not have to think of Rae unncessarily.

Xylon attached a cutting board to his chest to protect his ribs. Then he used a sheet for his back and picked up a large spoon in favour of the old much smaller one he had been messing around with without any real aim. That, he placed in a half-empty drawer.

"I look way better than you."

Smirrrkk.

Arya was having a BLAST suiting herself up with everything she could find. She had a thin layer of aluminum foil wraped around her legs, arms and chest. Since she didn't know any sticking charms, she had two muffin pans draped over her chest and back, connected by the small chains she cut from a three-tiered fruit hanging basket. The biggest of the baskets was on her head, not much protection but it would work. In her robe pockets she had a few random cooking utensils stuffed in them. She hadn't named any of them yet, there would be more time for that later. Now she needed to find more armor.

Abbi was terrified, not only because she came across a bunch of weird creatures, but but but they had a class in the kitchen. She never had a class in a Kitchen before! And they had to wear kitchen uhhh accessories as clothes? This sounded like a fun class!

She looked around the classroom in search if students she knew, but ... ohh.. there was Xylon, that friendly old guy from her house that helped her out in Defense against the Dark arts. Being small and a first year she had to push her way between the older ones to collect herself a helmet first, she didn't care what happened to her body as long as her head was protected! Then she was stuck on the body parts... so she watched the older kids in hopes if learning on what to put what where...

Looking at his and Mina's appearence Patroclus laughed, looked silly, but in an awesomely cool way!
"What would be even extra awesome", Patroclus went to suggest, would be some war paint! Or cool straps of leather, to make us look like real fighters!"
Patroclus could easily admit, he was getting quite carried away with this lesson so far.

Crud...

That seemed like a short trip to the kitchen which meant now Marie had to let go of Carter's hand. Well at least she wouldn't have to listen to Destiny grumble about it anymore... until next time.

"Hey, do you have to try and get so far away from me? Did you forget that we are attached here?" she said raising her hand up to Destiny. Geez, Destiny was acting like she couldn't get far enough away from Marie... like it was her fault they were in this stupid situatioin.

Whatever!

Let her be with Evelyn, she would battle with Carter... again. Only this time she wouldn't be able to leave Destiny behind. Nope, she would always be there, not more that six feet away from her.

She turned back to Carter when he asked what she thought. Honestly, she thought he looked pretty darn silly, but she wouldn't say that to him. "You look... rather handsome all dressed up in your... err... Sunday cookware." she said trying not to laugh.

Now for her to find something for protection. Finding a pot with a handle on it...(that she could totally use as a strap to keep it from falling off) she put it on her head like a helmet. Now to find a shield of some sort. Looking around some more she found a flat looking pan with a handle that could totally be used as a shield.

She now felt like a total idiot with a pot on her head and a rope tied to her wrist a rope that she could use to trip anyone that got in her way. "So what else do you think we will need?" she asked Carter as she continued to look through some drawers. "Think we can use this or this," She asked holding up the two items that looked like they could really hurt someone like Destiny if she tried any funny business.

Sidney follows her students into the kitchen. She's never been down there- unusual considering the Hufflepuff Common Room is so close to it. Sidney can't help but notice the house elves give Professor Lainey a wide berth. They appear to be afraid of the teacher, and she doesn't act like she likes them too much too. Sidney decides the best thing to do is humor the looney teacher. Don't want to end up in the Hospital Wing after all Lainey is talking about battles. Seriously if we're going to study inportant battles in Magical History, couldn't we do that just as easily in class where we have quills, ink, and lots of parchment. History of Magic is usually a sleep fest. Why do we we need makeshift armour to learn about battles that happened centuries ago. There is definitely something strange about Professor Lainey. She's crazy as a loon. I knew I shouldn't trust Headmaster Tate. First Professor Duskurk and his Cruciatus Curses, now Lefay and her fire charms, what's this mad HOM professor going to do? Have us fight dark wizards that only exist in her demented imagination? Sidney's first instinct is to get out of here as fast as she can and warn Headmaster Tate. On the other hand I don't know what Lainey will do if I try to leave. I mean this is a class. The professor might turn me into a bouncing ferret if I leave without permission. Sidney decides it's best to humor the teacher while she makes sure there aren't any sharp knives within easy reach. Sidney goes over to the stove and finds a pot. She puts it on her head and then watches as Lainey examines a cookie sheet. I guess it would make a good breast plate although the professor is built like a brick house. Why would we need metal plating? Wouldn't a shield charm work better?
