Training Log 3: Revelations

[crypddyd]

As we have more newcomers again, I will be holding another training session. It will be the same place as before- the part in Limbo. There will be refreshments as well, so even if you do not wish to spar please feel free to come and observe!

[It's that time again! Lion has his little (now a bit beat up since he keeps using the same space) claimed track of land in Limbo set up- wide spaces for people to pair off, a fold-out table with snacks and chairs for sitting and chatting. And of course himself off to the side with his lance in hand- willing to take all challengers and give tips and advice to anyone that comes to him!

He does though, go seeking someone specific out during all this: Chiron]

My friend, may I speak with you in private for a moment?

[There is no feeling of dread here that's just your imagination!]

((ooc: As usual this is a mixer post, so feel free to toss up starters as desired! I will have one for Lion as well if anyone wants to poke him in specific- but use this as a chance to show off- I mean try out new powers you've gained since last time!))

I don't think that's necessarily true. I now recall...using magic of some sort. [He holds out a hand, stares at it, concentrating. And then drops it.] But I cannot for the life of me seem to conjure such a thing. It seems likely we may regain powers that we once had, though how and when and why are a mystery.

Still. So long as you don't think of strength the way Sword does, I think you'll do just fine.

[phantasmagorial]

I just want to be able to protect everyone, if it comes to it. That's all.

[ She nods, more to herself than Chiron, but when she turns her expression up towards him, she looks a great deal more sure of herself than Rei usually does. ]

So I'm going to do my best with everything and anything I can learn.

[schardynfreude]

That's very noble of you. [He won't point out how it's not realistic. Just noble.] I'll try and teach you what I know. I seem to be quite capable with kicking more than, say, punching, but I'll do what I can! [listen he's tol he got them leggies]

[phantasmagorial]

[ A pause as Rei very visibly considers the difference in relative effectiveness between Chiron's leggies and her own.

Oh well. She's committed now!! ]

Okay...! Just tell me where to start and I'll try my best.

[schardynfreude]

Now, be mindful that, to my memory, I've never taught fighting to anyone before. Some might suggest power is the biggest deciding factor, but that's hardly true. Physics plays quite a large role in a fight. Why, with the right skills, you could likely get me on my knees or flat on my face.

But we'll start small. ...No pun intended. This time.

[phantasmagorial]

Only so long as you promise me that if I can manage to get you flat on your face then we have to go show everyone else, too.

[schardynfreude]

They'll be terribly proud of your progress. [AND ALSO LAUGH THEIR ASSES OFF AT HIM but obviously her progress would be way more important]

Let's start with throwing a proper punch without breaking your hand, and then we'll move on to some kicks, and then we'll--

[hold on this is an idea he's having]

Well, we'll still start with basics, but, perhaps as well we might find some videos with some basic martial arts...

[phantasmagorial]

Oh! Do people really upload those kinds of things?

[ For a fourteen year old girl, it's kind of wild how much she seems like a grandma trying to figure out Facebook right now. ]

That's so useful... I never would've thought to look up that kind of thing online.

[schardynfreude]

Ah--actually, I was thinking from a video store, but yes, that's certainly the kind of thing that would be on the internet.

The deadternet. [don't think too hard about how this works honey]

[phantasmagorial]

Maybe we could try both? If we're going to research this kind of thing, I bet there'd be books in the library, too.

[ You can just See whatever energy that made her go ham on researching idol stuff starting to rear its head again. ]

If I'm going to do this then I definitely want to make sure I do it right.
