[ 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! ]

Well, I can't complain about that. Perhaps people here actually know how to go about things properly.

[maybe no one will BLOW UP HIS HOTEL.]

That's... really quite some time. I hope they're making arrangements for us, if we're going to be stuck here that long...
chromosomes: (swag.)

I'd say that depends on your definition.

[ well apparently zelos left a crater where someone's house was so... ]

I'm sure you could ask, at the next audience.
enjoymyatelier: maybe he should check the foundations, come to think of it. (red car. good point.)

...well, I will admit, it's a bit of a complicated definition for those who are unfamiliar.

[FIGHTING DIRTY IN AN ACCEPTABLE WAY]

And oh, of course. I have every intention of doing so, though I was hoping to be able to do so at the feast itself... are the monarchs usually absent?
chromosomes: (follow me.)

[personal profile] chromosomes 2014-10-17 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
It usually is.

Yeah. [ John sighs a little, rubs at the back of his neck. ] My very basic understanding is that the queens of each court are usually taking part in some sort of- psychic battle with each other.
enjoymyatelier: no seriously what are you doing (uhhhhhhhh....)

[video]

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2014-10-20 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
So I see. That would be a distraction, I'm sure.

[...he seems only slightly phased by that.]

It doesn't seem terribly hospitable, but... well, they're royalty. They do what they like, and they have more important duties than the rest of us, I suppose.
chromosomes: (disassemble.)

The war's been going on for hundreds of years, and they make time at the audiences. I guess in the grand scheme of things... well, it's what they can do.

[ He shrugs. ]

Besides, it's probably a pain in the ass to try and eat when everyone wants to talk to you.

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2014-10-23 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
...well, when you put it like that... yes, I completely understand. You can hardly get a bite in edgewise.

Besides, well, they may as well do what they like regardless...
chromosomes: (talk.)

Who knows? Might be they don't want to take away from the welcome. Seems like something High-Queen Solais would say, anyway.

I'll likely have to judge that for myself at the audiences, but I suppose that makes sense enough. When are the audiences, anyway?

There should be one this month; they've always been the same month new arrivals show up.
enjoymyatelier: actually, it totally will. (aha! a plan that will not end in failure)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2014-11-10 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, so the welcome's just a bit belated? Well, I'll be absolutely certain to make an appearance, then. Hopefully I'll have accomplished something by then, at least.
