[Pearl was a little apprehensive at first to go ahead about this. But when she thought about it, this would be beneficial to many people here. Especially for people who were not used to missions, or even fighting for that matter.

Swallowing hard, Pearl lifts her head and sets her 'communicator' on a rock in the outskirts of the city. Out of harm's way. Once it was perfect, she starts.]

Greetings everyone of ALASTAIR. My name is Pearl, and I wanted to offer my assistance.

[In her hand, it looks to be a sword, held confidently. She bows in greeting to the jewel, shifting awkwardly. This was so different than what she's used to. Heck, she didn't know if it was even working.

Behind her, another 'Pearl' comes up behind her, with a sword as well, about to strike her over the head with it. But in one swift movement, the opposing Pearl falls to the ground, flickering. Pearl lowers her arm, the sword having penetrated the hologram, which fizzles out of existence altogether.]

I have experience when it comes to swordsmanship, and as well as experience with the use of a spear. I wanted to gather if there would be any interest for some training. We all come from many different backgrounds, myself included. I want to make sure everyone has a chance to defend themselves.

For now, I'm gauging interest. Also, if anyone else is interested in hosting some training as well. I don't... mean to be the 'head' of any group. I merely wish to help where I can. This would help immensely for what might be on the horizon for us.

If anyone has any questions, please let me know. And if you wish to speak to me in person, I'm just on the outskirts here.

That depends on how you look at it. It would have been a good way to test the mettle of ALASTAIR's new recruits, wouldn't it?

[beyourrock]

That's true, but what if people shattered-- I mean, perished? If they passed on, they would have never seen home again!

[onblackwings]

That's probably going to happen either way.

[beyourrock]

Then I'll do what I can to prevent such an occurance.

[onblackwings]

Singlehandedly? That would be impressive.

[beyourrock]

[She bristles a little.]

I'd hope others would do the same as well!

[onblackwings]

It's not like you can prevent every would-be death — and neither can anyone else. That would be ridiculous.

[beyourrock]

Right, of course. [She rubs at her forehead.]

I'm just trying to come up with alternatives for people to defend themselves with.

[onblackwings]

Do you know all of the people here?

[beyourrock]

No I don't I...

I'm just trying to help, that's all.

[onblackwings]

Why? What do you care?

[beyourrock]

Perhaps it's my morals. My ideals carried onto this world.

I swore to protect Earth and all it's living creatures. Why shouldn't the same be upheld here?

[onblackwings]

Oh.

[ well now she understands, at least, but she looks like Pearl has described stepping in something disgusting. ]

That sounds... time consuming. I would have thought there would a few better ways to spend your time, is all.

[beyourrock]

What other way would you expect one to spend their time here?

[She tilts her head.]

What do you plan to do?

[onblackwings]

Sharpen my skills. For myself, though.

[beyourrock]

Self improvement is never a bad thing.

What kind of skills do you hope to enhance upon?
