So we got a buncha old fashioned guys who are used to swinging around swords all the time and stuff, right? It seems like it, I can't go 20 feet without tripping over someone that's never seen a minipad before. God, would it kill that rift stuff to start taking more people from the modern era?

Anyway, point is I need one of you guys — or, hell, a buncha you guys — to start teaching. I've got some students in mind, foremost being me, because the training room here doesn't cut it if you've never even seen a fucking sword before. And if anyone else sucks at medieval stuff too lemme know, we'll make it a whole party.

Achilles and Koltira, you guys are my top medieval guys that know what you're doing, don't you fucking ignore this.

[ a beat ]

Also, I've got this little super strength issue where I might break any weapons I try and use, so... there's that, too. Still working on that obstacle. Any ideas, lemme know.


[ ooc: here's a planning post for teaching stuff!! ]

I do not think that is a good reason to continue a bad habit.

(Manners matter. She purses her lips.)

I believe it was you who began that discussion. I could tell you of my world, though I fear it would bore you.

[ here's the sound of a verbal shrug. it's done her pretty good so far. ]

Yeah, it might, but let's give it a shot. What's the most exciting thing your world's got?

[stonebird]

We once had dragons and direwolves. The latter is not entirely extinct and I have heard tales that neither is the former, yet I have seen no proof with my eyes.

There is a great Wall that must be guarded in the North. I believe there are far more frightening and perhaps unknown beasts beyond it.

[heavyhitter]

Wolves and dragons, not bad, except we got dragons here. Can't be too impressed if I've seen that big black one flapping around already.

What about the wall stuff? Do you know what kinda unknown beasts?

[stonebird]

(Wait.) Where did you see this dragon? (Her brow furrows, fear entering her blue eyes.)

I...have heard of the dead walking again on the other side. They are called the "Others" or "White Walkers".

[heavyhitter]

We got dead walking here, too. He's called Koltira.

And I dunno, around. You haven't seen it?

[stonebird]

I have not encountered someone by that name nor have I seen a dragon.

(She would surely remember!)

How...does he walk if he is truly - ? How large is the dragon?

[heavyhitter]

Wow, okay, one thing at a time. Dead guy or dragon?

[stonebird]

I suppose...the dragon. That seems the most dangerous.

[heavyhitter]

Okay, don't know too much about the big black one. I'm pretty sure some lady owns it, like it's her pet or something. It does fire breath, it's pretty cool.

And the other one's Laedo, apparently he just looks like a dragon. He's alright.
