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.]

Yes, there's a lot of interest in learning how to use a sword, so I'm definitely trying to find people who are comfortable teaching that. Either way, you'll have lots of people to practice with from the response I've had so far. While I don't discount running as a perfectly sensible response to danger, if you want to learn how to fight, I'd like to support you.

I would be happy, honestly, just keeping on running, but - but I feel like my other self was connected to these swords. He did things with them. He fought with them. I think I can learn more about him if I do this. And I won't be a burden to others. I can defend myself.
no subject
There's that aspect of the memories, too. So yes, practicing the sword could very well help you remember more about him. And weapons practice is here for that too.
no subject
Okay. Okay good. I want to at least try. Um - I know my other self uses two swords. But I guess trying with any style at this point would be a good start, right?
no subject
Dual wielding huh? That's probably really versatile. And yes, in theory any sword style could help cause memories, as well as provided a foundation for other styles.
no subject
Seems so. I have a memory on him fighting monsters and protecting someone, but that's about all. But I think I myself had better start with the basics. I can do flips all day, but holding a sword? Nope.
no subject
Sometimes I wonder just how many peoples' past lives involved fighting monsters. Anyway, we can definitely get you set up with the basics.
no subject
Great that would be amazing! Um, should I just privately send you my contact info? Or I guess how is this supposed to work?
no subject
That's alright. I can PM you through the app. Provided nothing goes weird this month, I'll send everyone a message Saturday afternoon and the first meeting will be on Sunday evening.
[except it won't because ... Tatsuo comes down with a bad case of the merzomharpy]

Oh that sounds great! I'm looking forward to it! Um, I guess just bring me and maybe something to take notes?
