It's occurred to me that since our membership shifts and our backgrounds vary so much, it might be good to compare what we're capable of. More to the point, I was thinking we might be able to help each other pick up relevant skills, if not hone the ones we already have.

If people are looking to train or think they could help others, why don't we discuss that here? I know at least a few of us don't have backgrounds in combat, for example. On our first day here I met someone who wasn't familiar with firearms but might get good use out of the skill, for another.

In my case, I have experience training others and can help with hand-to-hand combat. I can work with people ranging from average human strength to well above it. I've got some skill with swords and knives, but I wouldn't compare that to someone who specializes in them, and that's something I'd like to work on. In terms of non-combative skills, if someone wants to work on something like cooking, I'm reasonably helpful there.

Let's see how we can help each other improve.

[ooc: Please feel free to thread-hop/jack here, that's what this is for!]

If we don't wear each other out on the hand to hand, I'd like to see what you can do with weapons. I had some rudimentary training, but any pointers you could offer would only help.

[tolight]

Of course—! It'd be a pleasure. What are you wielding at the moment? [ Weapons talk, her favorite. ]

[racking]

Whatever's close at hand.

[ har har ]

Right now I'm not using any weapons at all, unless it's something I grab in the heat of the moment.

[tolight]

I see.

[ Hm... this takes some thinking, but — ] If you're open to keeping a... more permanent weapon, you could train with my rapier.

[racking]

A permanent weapon? You mean, you'd lend me your rapier?

[tolight]

Certainly. If you're open to learning how to use it.

It deserves a better owner, who would use it to its full potential. [ She'll never let of the Falchion, having an extra one is excessive anyway. . . ]

[racking]

Thank you. I'll try to live up to that.

Of course I'm open to learning. Whatever you can teach me would be appreciated. And in return, I'll show you what I know in physical combat.

[tolight]

I'm happy to help.

I normally train in the mornings, if you're open to joining me then.

[racking]

I am. I tend to rise early myself. Should we meet after breakfast?

[tolight]

Certainly.

I'll see you tomorrow morning... [ A pause as she looks for his username: ] Shirogane.

[racking]

Shiro. You can call me Shiro, Lucina.

[ lucina?? ]

[tolight]

Ah.

Shiro it is, then. [ She figures her not commenting on her name is enough of an indication that it's the correct one... Hopefully. ]

[racking]

Alright. I'll see you soon.
