[ 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! ]

I think my sister would like it here, once she got over how... different it all is.

[ And sadly enough, it might actually be safer than home after everything that had happened. ]
wroughtsteel: (To mind the children.)

Is it? May I ask, perhaps, that you tell me how your world is?
chromosomes: (adjust.)

No magic. No elves or dwarves. Horses aren't as common; they're mostly for the rich now, actually.
wroughtsteel: (And yet I know not.)

Then quite different from this one, or my own as well. [ She smiles a little. ] But how do people travel over long distances, if not by way of horse?
chromosomes: (disassemble.)

There are machines -- cars, or trains, or airplanes. They travel on the road or on tracks specially made for them. Planes, though, they fly.
wroughtsteel: (Let me stand at your side.)

-- fly?

[ She looks perplexed, and that is a mild way to put it. When she continues, her voice turns incredulous. ]

Beg your pardon, as I must not be understanding this well, but... people are on the machines as they fly?
chromosomes: (talk.)

Yeah. Or, well- they're in them.

Think of them like... big, hollow metal birds.
wroughtsteel: (Those without swords.)

[ It sounds madder the more he explains it, and the look of bewilderment doesn't leave her face. ]

Then how do they fly, if they are not real birds?

It's complicated.

[ He is the worst at explaining these things, and John makes a bit of an awkward face at having to use his words as he tries to explain in ways that I frankly cannot even begin to try to type. I don't even have my driver's license much less know how engines work. ]

If you go to the Station, you can see smaller versions in person.
wroughtsteel: (The people are to follow your rule.)

video; oh god this tag made me laugh sdfksjkf.

[ She nods only, not pressing for more questions when it's clear that the man doesn't know how to put it to words himself. Perhaps it is something for her to try and learn about later, though at the moment it is no pressing matter. ]

Very well, then I will keep it in mind, should I ever visit the Station one day. [ She tilts her head in a nod. ] In the meantime, I shall meet you soon, once I arrive at the Court.

Looking forward to it. Travel safely.
