[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.

Great!

My goodness, I'm seeing so much interest thus far, this is better than what I expected!

[bodyscarred]

They may have pulled a variety of people, some of whom aren't that used to combat yet. It's a valid offer, miss.

Or we just have some people who want to shed some stress through fun and violent combat methods.

[beyourrock]

Oh please, you can call me Pearl. And who might you be?

This is true. Nothing like a good sparring match here or there to relieve some stress.

[bodyscarred]

Obi works. Nice to meet you, Miss Pearl.

[ Yeah, the 'Miss' is gonna stay. ] And just from the looks of it, a lot of us need the stress relief anyway.

[beyourrock]

A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Obi.

[Pearl nods as she looks behind her at the torches. Just beyond them, she could barely make out goblin houses.]

This whole sun ordeal has us all worn thin. Humans. Goblins. What happened in the past... I don't know if either side can truly move on from it.

[bodyscarred]

Isn't it a little early to say for sure? I mean, that's why I figure we're here.

[ Please let's not destroy another world, he'd have trouble sleeping at night. ]
