I've been thinking about weapons practice for a while now, especially after the epsilon group got added. (For you guys in epsilon group, if you're still feeling lost about things, read this. Or just ask someone in alpha or beta. We've been there.)

Anyway. For those who weren't on the app yet, weapons practice was started by Dante (who is no longer on the app himself) as a way for people to learn how to fight. With weapons, obviously. A lot of people were getting weapons sent to them by Retrospec and had no idea how to use them. And when I say weapons, I mean non-firearms. Swords. Spears. Magic staffs. Battle axes.

If you want to learn hand-to-hand in this city, there are several places you can do that. If you want to learn how to use a firearm, there are places for that too. But a sword? A spear? Daggers? Ax? That's a little trickier.

So Dante started the weapons practice group, in order for us to pool our resources. People remembering how to fight with a weapon could help teach other people. People being sent weapons could learn how to use them. Or if you just want to learn how to use a weapon, you can come too!

I'd like to start this again. Especially with Retrospec's recent announcement about manual debugging. Same time and place as it used to be. Utsuki Dojo in Tisse, Sunday nights from 6pm to midnight. First meeting will be this Sunday.

You don't have to stay the whole time or even come right at the beginning, though we'll make general introductions at 6. Practice weapons will be provided, though you are welcome to bring your own.

As this is to help people learn physical techniques and increase skill level, magic techniques are not allowed. Magic weapons are only allowed if you can use them sans magic. The dojo is not equipped for that kind of stuff. Please do not burn my master's dojo down. Additionally, no firearms, lasers, fighting robots. Again, the dojo is not equipped for that kind of stuff. Please do not destroy my master's dojo.

Also, I'm looking for healers. I would like to have multiple healers involved, if only so we don't have one healer having to cover the whole six hours. If you are interested shoot me a message.


[OOC: IDK if we'll even manage to hold one this month :'D b/c Tatsuo is part of the initial infection group. Depending on how quickly that group manifests symptoms, we might be able to IC-ly have the first meeting on the 7th. Otherwise, the first meeting might have to wait until next month.]

Oh yeah, I didn't expect you to just happen to have one that big around...

I would have questions...and concerns.

That will probably be a while before I try to tackle that. I'm happy to practice knife fighting.

In other news, I'm pretty sure my world is something off Alladin.

Hell, I know a kid there named Alladin...No where near what Disney portrayed him as.

Seriously? Sounds like a giant pain in the ass to me. Even if you're strong enough to use it, carrying it around has got to suck.

1000 Arabian Nights and Wikipedia doesn't say much about it. But my name there is Alibaba and a blue hair kid with some magic flute is Alladin.

So I'm going to the library to try to find that book to see if I can get more information. Apparently, Alibaba had 40 thieves, if the start of "never had a friend like me" is to be believed.

Please, no T-Rexes. One T-Rex while trying to go to the library once is bad enough.

I hope so! OH! This might be useful, the entire "their sight is based on movement" completly bull. They see you just fine if you stand still.

Take it from a guy who was covered in T-Rex snot
