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.

Exactly. I like to be prepared for any eventuality.

[and that comes with a price of course- the price of leaving other people in the dark. he understands ALASTAIR in a way he isn't comfortable with. they remind him far too much of himself, and since he knows himself better than anyone, he knows not to trust any of this.]

And that means making sure no one knows what move you're likely to make. It might not sit well with some of our teammates, but they'll be thankful for it if it helps us survive this.

Besides most of us don't really have special skills or abilities we can teach others anyway.

[ he gets it -- sometimes, not trusting others means you have to keep secrets, to do things those more trusting will disapprove of... but in the end, it's still worth it. because at least that way when someone turns out to be less than trustworthy, they've already been there, waiting for it. ]

hey, you won't hear complaints from me

anyway-- nice to meet someone else who doesn't just blindly trust anyone and everyone. i'm stiles, stiles stilinski.

Urahara Kisuke. The pleasure's all mine, Stiles-san. Pragmatism is a rare trait.

[for good reason, he knows, but that doesn't change the fact that he's not usually standing in an ocean of them at any given point, and it can be frustrating.]

iiit's a wrap?

[figureitout]

urahara, got it. and i could say the same, man.

[ ah.... he gets it, how he gets it. his best friend is an eternal optimist who trusts everyone, and so Stiles trusts no one-- because someone has to be the pragmatic one.

it's a nice feeling, to know someone's in his corner with this particular subject. ]
