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.

[ wow indeed. Arima is just shaking his head inwardly right now. This guy reminds him of Taishi back when he met the other in highschool. ]

I don't mind teaching anyone who is serious about the endeavor. If you're truly serious about learning, then I'm more then willing to teach you.

[ Arima is hardcore, just fyi. But he's willing to teach whoever wishes to learn. ]

[upshur]

Are you serious because I'm definitely serious. I could really fuck someone's day up if I went at them with a weapon.

[ TEACH HIM SENSEI he has a vengeful streak and this is the perfect thing ]

Anyways. Practically everyone on this team has superpowers, I have to keep up somehow.

[prodigism]

I wouldn't have offered if I wasn't. [ Arima is too serious for this, but he will teach the other if he really plans on sticking with Arima's...training regiment. ]

It does seem like many people have the capacity for magic or otherworldly powers here. It's all new to me as well.

[ Even if ghouls are strange to others, his world is lacking in magic and supernatural powers. ]

[upshur]

[ in his world, conspiracy theories are real and he's basically living the painful consequences of messing with one 8( ]

Soooooooooooooo what sort of expectations do you have for a student, eh?

[prodigism]

[ What expectations doesn't he have. Arima is a really hardcore teacher, unfortunately, so the question has him pausing. Of course he's dealt with people like Miles before, literally everyone in the ccg was normal, give or take a few due to circumstances, and he treated them all fairly equally. ]

I expect those I train not be afraid of pushing their limits.

[ He might give Miles a break because he's a normal human, but don't count on it lasting long. ]

Being able to take commands and initiate them perfectly is something else that I expect as well.

[upshur]

[ Pushing one's limits is not where the challenge lies. He's pushed his own limits for years and years. ]

What's your definition of perfection - because let me tell you, to be human is to be hellishly fallible.

I can promise that I'm good with challenges, and I'm willing to listen. 'Perfection' might be beyond me, though.

[ arima pls not everyone was literally born for this ]

[prodigism]

Perfection is being able to preform duties and attacks with precision and ease.

[ There's a pause. ]

But I don't expect that of someone who has never wielded a blade before. [ That is sorta rude but it's Arima. ]

We'll see how training goes and work from there. If you're willing to challenge yourself, then that will be a good start.

[upshur]

Well then, I'm here for it.

[ he's so tired of not being able to fight back. this'll help, it has to help. ]

Just tell me when and where.

[prodigism]

If you like we can start as early as next week. Unless you'd like to learn after the mission concludes. There's not much of a reason to delay our sessions, if it can be helped. And it would be best to get started while we still have some peace.

[upshur]

We can start next week. I hate wasting time.

[ miles no............ you're not even patched together properly yet. ]

I'm ready for this, okay? I'll take whatever you've got to throw at me.

[prodigism]

[ Miles please /sweats ]

Very well. Meet me outside the church around noon, we can start then.

Basic form and stance for now then we'll proceed to learning attacks.

[ He doesn't want to kill the other man outright or anything. He will try to go easy on you Miles...whatever easy is. ]
