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.

[ Tell that to the ten year old who remembers having to fight for the right to live. This is much kinder in that respect... and much more isolating as well. ]

Then how about Friday? That gives me time to try and find the right paper.

[agrizzlysin]

[If only King knew.]

Friday then. In the meantime, I'll look for paper too.

[onethousen]

[ Stories to be shared offhand at almost appropriate times in the future, tbh... ]

Where do you want to meet up? Oh, I'm Chihiro!

[ it's the introduction thing and also realising if she's planning to meet someone that requires a location and not just the intent to meet them on an afternoon come Friday. ]

[agrizzlysin]

I'm King. Nice to meet you, Chihiro.

How about that church? It should be quiet there in the afternoon.

[onethousen]

It's nice to meet you too, King-san!

Oh, yeah, that would be good. I help out around there anyway, so I can be working on chores in the church until you get there.

[agrizzlysin]

[There's that "san" thing again. Sakura was doing that too. Maybe it's similar to the way Lady Elizabeth calls him Lord King.]

You help out at the church?

[Happy accident!]

I'll see you there then! Maybe I can help you with those chores as payment.

[onethousen]

[ He's not wrong... she smiles, on the other hand. ]

Mm! I stay with the Reverend. And if you want to help, I'd be glad for the extra hands. It makes things go faster working as a team. Not that you need to, this is what I do to earn my keep.

[agrizzlysin]

Well, I'm sort of freeloading at the moment, so the least I can do is earn someone else's keep.

[onethousen]

How'd you manage that?

[agrizzlysin]

[-Urk.]

I didn't. It's... a long story.

[Involving one of his partners throwing him into a sack and passing him off as luggage.]

[onethousen]

Maybe you can tell me while we're working? On the origami cranes or any of the other stuff.

[agrizzlysin]

Maybe.

[Boy is he glad she can't see him blushing like an idiot. It's way too embarrassing.]

[onethousen]

[ Upside, even if she had, she'd still shrug it off since she's ten and embarrassing is half of life still at this stage, before puberty makes it Really Horrible. ]

Only if you want to! But um, yeah. I look forward to meeting you in person!

[agrizzlysin]

Yeah. Same. 'Til Friday.
