[ 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! ]

[Flora dips her head courteously, and waves with a kind smile.]

Hello, Sir, I don't believe we've been introduced. My name is Flora, it's nice to meet you. Thank you so much for running this.

[ John gives the most awkward wave back. ]

Not a problem. I just hope it helps.

please forgive me :c

Would you mind telling me some of your experience or your specialties, please? I'm always looking to learn, and I'm pretty adaptable, but there might be styles of fighting that aren't compatible with me.

[HE'S A VERY IMPORTANT MAN, SHE'S SURE OF IT. SHE DOESN'T WANT TO WASTE HS TIME.]

Or I might find exactly what I'm looking for.

I'm a Marine- uh, do you know what that is? [ HE'S NEVER SURE... ]

Firearms don't apply here, really, but I'm trained in martial arts and have taken up archery here. I use a warhammer in combat here as well, though I've worked with a few other weapons.

Well, unless you're an aquatic being--which isn't entirely a joke if you knew where I come from--I'm going to assume you're the type of soldier who's trained to serve at land and either sea or space, if not all of the above.

[If you guys are that far with space.

But she perks up.]


That is quite the list of skills. I have to be pretty light on my feet as a matter of course, but my hand-to-hand combat is borderline nonexistent. I could stand to learn my way around some blades, but archery sounds very useful--I tend to fight at more mid and long ranges, myself.

I've met Kaldur; not entirely a joke around here, either. [ He wishes... ] But yeah, your assumption is correct.

[ Not super far, but they had a portal to Mars. John blew it up, but... it was for a good reason? ]

We can focus on the hand-to-hand and archery then, if you'd like. I think those two are going to be popular options so you shouldn't have a shortage of practice partners.

He's pretty great! But have you had any run-ins with water-dwellers, sir? And does that mean you've been out to space, then?

[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero

Also sorry, she's a little curious]


I would very much like, thank you. Though, I have a question that's just a little off-topic: do people ever fill out mission reports?

Not just yet, no. And I've been to Mars.

[ Look it was that or horrible monsters killing everyone. ]

Um. Yeah, sometimes.
