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!! ]

Oh — are you making a list, Ramir? Is there any room on it...

[ actually, now that she thinks about it— ]

Is this only for sword-fighting?

[heavyhitter]

Hell yeah, come on in, we'll all flail around and cut off some limbs together.

It's for whatever fighting, I guess. Whatever our great volunteer teachers wanna teach.

I'd.. like to avoid that, if possible... [ ramir your humor is too much for her!!

... ] Though I guess it might give me a chance to practice more of my healing—

[ wait focus! ]

I mean... I'd like to learn how to fight with my body, too! If.. If that's possible.

[heavyhitter]

Learn how to fight with your body, damn, way to make it sound kinky. I mean, I guess we could do lessons on that.

[winces]

[ ramir??? pls?????? ]

Th-That wasn't what I meant...!

[ she just felt silly saying "fight with my fists" since her fists are so.. smol... ]

[heavyhitter]

I'm just saying, it's an option. But I still wanna learn to fight, too, so maybe we do both.

[winces]

[ don't make her heart a-flutter, ramir... ]

It can't hurt to ask..! I haven't seen Koltira fight without using his magic, but he definitely has that giant sword so I'm sure there's plenty to learn from him. And Achilles [ ah, is that a blush ] I mean Achilles is a great warrior, so I'm sure he knows plenty about all kinds of combat! Has anyone else signed on to help?

[heavyhitter]

[ oh gurl she basically hears that blush, there is no hiding from ramir's sexy detector ]

Yeah, Achilles is pretty good. And damn, what a fuckin' looker.

[ sorry did olivia want to discuss useful things, they're on this topic now ]

[winces]

[ no... don't do this to her.................. ]

U-Um.. yes. He is very handsome... [ QUICK! DEFLECT! ] A-And talented! Did you know he plays the lyre?

[heavyhitter]

Oh, yeah? Does he do it shirtless?

[winces]

Um... I guess he could, if you asked him?

[heavyhitter]

No, does he. It's better if you just find it out in the wild.

[winces]

—oh. Um... [ nervously glances around. ]

I'm sure he does... at least sometimes? He certainly is not ashamed of his body.

[heavyhitter]

I know, right? And rightfully so. It should probably be illegal for bodies like that to have shirts on 'em.

[winces]

[ she can't help but blush even further at that. how can she even argue, tbh... ]

H-He is lovely to look at, yes...
