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!! ]

[sololoquy]

And what did "Finn" tell you about himself?

[You can almost hear the air quotes.]

[heavyhitter]

Oh, loads. We had a sleepover and did each other's nails, we chatted the whole time.

So where is he?

[sololoquy]

You are being sarcastic.

[See, he can almost have normal conversations.]

Gone.

[And he does not sound happy about it.]

[heavyhitter]

Gone where? [ usually that means 'transferred', but she'd rather not make that assumption here ]

[sololoquy]

I do not know. FN-2187 has been gone from my range since before the last mission.

[heavyhitter]

[ there's a pause here, thoughtful and considering. she knows better than to just trust him, after what she'd heard, but she doubts a lie would sound quite like that. ]

Gone from your range, wow, that doesn't sound ominous. More sarcasm there, by the way, since I know you're into spotting it.

[sololoquy]

[Dryly:]

I am Force-sensitive. I have the ability to track life through its flow. He is not here.

[heavyhitter]

[ oh, that's

actually useful ]

What about, uh... [ shit what his was name ] Poe?

[sololoquy]

Similar circumstance.

[And just as mad about it, too.]

Any more off-topic questions?

[heavyhitter]

[ yeah, she wants his side of it, too. she can hardly even imagine what it'd look like, but all the more reason to want to hear it.

later, though. ]

Nope, tapped out for now. What better ways did you have in mind?

[sololoquy]

That depends. Are you still interested in a teacher?

[Someone's a little salty.]

[heavyhitter]

Sure, yeah, if you're still willing to teach.

[sololoquy]

[That's not the answer he expected, and his sharpness dulls ever so slightly.]

Weilding a lightsaber is considerably less combersome than using steel. And far more effective -- even for someone like yourself.

You will not be deterred by more modern weaponry with a blade that has the capability of deflecting blaster-fire.

[heavyhitter]

[ she was just gonna go with it and see what happened, but now she's actually interested. shit. ]

Hold up, what's a lightsaber?

[sololoquy]

It is a weapon powered by a kyber crystal, which is naturally attuned with the Force.

[But--since people don't know what the heck the Force is around here FOR SOME REASON???]

In simplier terms, it is a plasma-powered blade.

[heavyhitter]

Okay, sounds kinda fucking awesome. Got any spares lying around?

[sololoquy]

No. Only my own. Or Anakin Skywalker, if you believe yourself capable of persuading him.

[He almost sounds amused at the idea. He might be hoping she'll try.]

[heavyhitter]

Anakin, guy who's never heard of Earth? Yeah, I think I could work on him.

[sololoquy]

[He...has also never heard of Earth. But he's not going to say that now.]

I look forward to your results.
