[ Video; Seelie Locked ]

[ Lancelot looks tired, dishevelled, but determined. He's at least free of injury now, and making an attempt to look some degree of... serious, collected. In control. He's also in the company of John Grimm, who while not exactly looking pleased probably looks a few degrees less wrecked. Lancelot takes a deep breath, and manages to force a small smile. Behind them appears to be the training yard of Caer Glaem, which is being slowly set up by a few soldiers milling around.

Lancelot's tone is quiet as he speaks, quieter than perhaps people who know him may be used to, but it is measured and firm still. Controlled.

For those who do not know me, my name is Lancelot. I am Field Marshal here in Caer Glaem. Those of you that do, however, may recall I ran a training session a month previous. John Grimm --

[ -- and Lancelot glances sideways to the man with him. ]

-- and I have been asked to run them as a regular effort henceforth.

[ Your go, John. ]

The both of us have experience fighting both at home and in the Drabwurld, if you’re worried about qualifications. If you don’t know how to fight, even to simply defend yourself, then we ask that you absolutely come. If you do know how to fight, we ask that you come anyway; if nothing else, this is a good chance to practice your skills and maybe learn a few new ones. The same applies if you use magic.

[ A pause and, though it looks like saying this pains him, John adds: ]

Though we do ask that you not use lethal force. Training weapons will be provided as needed, and we will have healers standing by at each session.


[ Lancelot hesitates, nods approval finally as he tries to work out other things they need to cover. Right. Be encouraging, sound like you know what you’re talking about Lancelot. You just declared yourself supposedly in charge. Try to seem like you deserve that. ]

The training yard here will be set up to allow any who wish it to come and go as they please. We will try to attend every day but if we are not on hand some of the soldiers will always be here. Even the strongest of soldiers can benefit, fighting styles are different here in the Drabwurld. The shard that sits inside your chest can be used to amplify your strength and speed, and I will happily pass on the art to any who ask. As much as that, you are of course welcome to help us train if you have the experience. We will not turn away help.

We know that many of you do not want to take part in this war. That’s fine. But the Drabwurld is dangerous, and it’s not just the war that makes it that way. We can help you learn how to keep yourself alive in the event that something happens.

[ A pause, and he glances sideways at Lancelot, then nods slightly to himself. ]


[ Lancelot offers John a tiny smile, than turns back to the locket and inclines his head a little. ]

Thank you for your time.

[ Will that do? That’ll do. ]

[ OOC; Log if anyone wants to play out training! ]

[ Yes, very. ]

Yeah, that'd be a little counter-productive.
chromosomes: (headset.)

[personal profile] chromosomes 2014-10-05 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, of course. We'll be here.

It could; it's supposed to help you move with purpose, that sort of thing.

Brave? [ John certainly hasn't thought of it that way. ]

The monarchs will give people boons if you help them, their court, or the world sometimes. My first one, I asked for a way to help other people -- they gave me the ability to heal.

[ He could already heal himself, but at least now he can try to keep others from dying after they've taken a blow without relying on technology that simply doesn't exist here. ]

Hermione's very good. [ There's no small amount of pride in his voice for her; she's like a daughter to him. ]

Something to that effect.

It's rather poetic.
parallels: (WINCE ★ now that's awkward)

And now you've gone and dashed all my expectations.

No. It doesn't actually exist, where I'm from.

I'm sure there are several girls who will be attending who might prefer to learn from another. If not- well, teaching guys isn't that different.

And if they give you any shit, hit them.

[ sound advice right ]
chromosomes: (smile.)

[personal profile] chromosomes 2014-10-05 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Like Lancelot said- as long as it takes. If one of us can't teach, someone else will.
chromosomes: (talk.)

[personal profile] chromosomes 2014-10-05 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
You're going to have to tell me what that means, you know.
chromosomes: (puppy.)

You can trust that we'll try to be. Everyone's got different opinions.

You are going to have to learn to understand its meaning on your own.

You have my thanks. I will see you in a few hours.

[ a scuff. ] I'll punch them in the gut if I have too. After all, I bet they'd take me seriously. [ Not that she already didn't have a serious look to her. ]

And if they don't, punch them again.

Sounds like a good plan to me! I'll be there.

[Oh, right]

Oh, and thanks.

Oh.

....That's a bad thing?

If you're not trying to do it or if it's where someone's house is, yes, it's a bad thing.

How about I just send a bolt of electricity over to them. I think that'd get their attention.
chromosomes: (tilt.)

As long as it doesn't kill them.

Of course, that won't work on everyone.

[personal profile] astrapi 2014-10-05 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
I can control my power enough not to kill them. [ Just enough to teach them a quick lesson. ]

Really, it might be a smart idea to keep idiots who prefer to mess around way from me. Otherwise they might get her. [ Not that she's actually going to admit she has a temper but shhh. ]

If I knew who they were, I would. If you think you can't keep yourself from hurting them, though, let me know.

[ He'll take care of them. He's a Marine, he knows how to terrify people via yelling. ]

Brave. [ A firm nod. ] You're like our teacher, right? For this sort of stuff. So that means you're putting yourself on the line for all of us. Even if it's just reputation.

So... You're brave! I think so, anyway.
