[ 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! ]

Um--hey!

[ She's sheepish, that's for sure. Kelsi's a tiny thing, barely 5'00", and not exactly muscular. Hell, she's a music student in University, that's not exactly athlete material. ]

What would you recommend if you've never fought before, but you're not even sure you can even lift a sword? Fighting doesn't really come as a second-nature where I come from. It's more jazz-hands and harmonies.
playmakings: (started from the public houses)

Bow! Bow is good. I don't have to get up close, right? I'm sorta clumsy.

[ Truth be told, this whole thing was still a little far fetched. She's figuring if she just rolls with it she'll wake up one day, back safe and home at Julliard. ]

Thanks! Maybe something like a dagger.. I'm pretty dextrous; I play piano a lot.

Uh. Do you know what a piano is? [ This sounds so weird. ]
playmakings: (By the way what he say?)

[personal profile] playmakings 2014-10-07 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! It's okay, I mean, I don't know anything about fighting so you don't have to know what a piano is, I was just curious. But if you ever want to learn a musical instrument, let me know, okay?

[ That sounds...So stupid in comparison. So stupid. Ah well. ]
playmakings: (And if she ain't tryna give it up)

Great! I'll try to learn as quickly as I can, I understand--but thank you. For this, I mean.

In addition to what Lancelot said, there are also ways to fight without weapons. Martial arts, you know.

I'm nnnnnot so sure that's a good idea. I trip on my own shadow. Oh, but maybe that'll help me? [ Kelsi please stop thinking out loud. ]

Thanks for offering this, too, by the way. It's brave of you.
chromosomes: (uncertain.)

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. ]

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.
chromosomes: (smile.)

Oh. [ Well, when she puts it like that, he guesses he can see what she means. ]

Well. Thank you, then.

You're welcome. It's okay to be humble, but you really are doing something important here.

If it can help even one person, I'll be happy.

That's the spirit! I'll see you in training.
