training sessions -
November
i. introductions
Just before six, Tatsuo opens the doors of the building. The layout is fairly straight forward. Mens' and womens' locker rooms to the left, office and storage room to the right, and the dojo itself straight ahead. A small hallway leads off to the right to some smaller practice rooms, but those won't be in use tonight. Once those that need to change into more comfortable clothes have had a chance to do so, and everyone is assembled in the dojo itself, Tatsuo steps to the front of the group.
"I'd like to thank everyone for coming tonight. As you might have heard, this is Weapons Practice. It was started last year by Dante, who is no longer on the app, because many of us either received weapons from Retrospec or have gotten memories of fighting or battles. As some of the newcomers have already learned, you might find yourself in a situation where you want those kind of skills."
"However, just because you've gotten a memory of fighting doesn't mean you are instantly a master. It takes some time for those skills to settle in, so to say. Weapons Practice can provide you the space needed to work on those skills and people to practice them with. This can also very well cause more memories to surface, so be prepared for that. Or maybe you haven't gotten a weapon or memory and just want to learn how to fight. We're here for that too."
"I will reiterate the rules at this time. There is to be no use of magic, with the exception of healing, should that be required. If you have enhanced physical abilities, please rein it in for those of us that do not. No live blades unless you have gotten clearance from me to do so. No firearms or other non-inert weapons, unless they can be used in a strictly inert form. If you have questions whether your weapon is allowed, please see me."
"You may not spar or even lift a weapon until after you sign the legal waiver. All spars must be supervised, so please grab me or someone who has identified themselves as a referee if you wish to spar. If you are here to go all out and run wild, leave. We are here to practice, not beat each other to a pulp. If anyone does get injured, stop the bout immediately and call for Elliot."
ii. pick your weapon and find a partner
There are a number of practice weapons available for people to use. Wooden swords of various lengths and styles. There are also some metal ones, ranging from fencing foils to short swords to katanas, all blunt and tipped for safety. Staves and other polearms (ie spears, glaives, naginata, halberd) lean against a stand. There's even some wooden axes and knives, along with wooden and metal sheilds. And for those with an interest in close-range non-bladed weapons, there are short staffs of varying lengths.
Don't see a weapon that intrests you? Just ask Tatsuo. Depending what your request is, he might be able to get you something by the following week.
Once you've selected your weapon, it's time to find a partner. There are a few old-timers who can help teach, but maybe you want to just jump right in? That's okay too. Or are you someone with a little experience under your belt and want to pass on a little knowledge? Weapons not really your thing? You can learn some hand-to-hand here as well. If you're wanting to test your skills with a little sparring, don't forget to grab a ref. And if you aren't sure where you want to start and just want to watch for a while, grab a chair. Just watch out for the occasional flying weapon.
iii. cool down and mingle
Right at 9 PM, Tatsuo lets out a loud wistle. With only one healer on deck, the weapons portion of the practices are only going to last for three hours. But people are free to stick around for an hour or two to get to know their fellow Weapons Practice attendees. Compare weapons or fighting memories. Or just compliment someone you saw having a good spar. Maybe someone was nice and brought cookies?

Re: 3
[Ever since he found out magic is now a legit thing, he basically jumps at the chance for basically anything magic related. This might derail the conversation into one about magic.]
Re: 3
[ The barrage of questions catches him off guard, but that might just help with having him answer as well. Like a pop quiz! ]
I... I don't know? Maybe? I don't remember a whole lot it just yet about my world. The only one creature is this cute little um... well, it kind of looks like a weird mix of a rabbit, a gerbil, a bird, and unicorn? Maybe a baby goat? He's a bit hard to describe.
Re: 3
I have a memory with pink bunny mages without a face. Some sort of song made them berserk and...
Their head's opened up, kinda like the Demogorgon from Stranger Things, big eyeball in the middle of their mouth.
Re: 3
[ He blanched at that thought. Ew, no, why would you do that to bunnies? ]
Um, yes I think he does? I don't have memories of him changing.
Oh! But! I do remember these little bunnies and little sheep that went around in top hats and coats like magicians! They were adorable!
Re: 3
Those sound adorable! Did the hats have holes for the ears?
Re: 3
Hehe, yup! And they can talk! Though all I've heard them say is things like "welcome home".
Re: 3
How the hell do they talk without a mouth though I don't know. But they are also flying on black cubes, so why not.
I like your bunnies better.
Re: 3
Flying on black cubes? Like a witch on a broomstick?
Re: 3
Apparently, we figured out that the singing was making..." dungeon creatures go berserk". Whatever that means.
Re: 3
Well that doesn't sound very nice at all! I bet those bunnies weren't very mean before that Zagan peson.
Re: 3
I just know that we apparently ran into a bear that might have gone berserk?
Dungeon makes me think that someone has to be the end boss of a video game or something.
Re: 3
Oh, I was thinking like someplace you throw someone to be in prison. But that's another way to look at it. Either way, this Zagan sounds very mean!
[ He frowned, like that was the worst thing a person could be. ]
Is that why you came to these lessons? Because of that memory?
Re: 3
[Al shakes his head]
Oh no, memories didn't make me come here...All the monsters and whatnot I've had to fight did that. I have magic, but it kills me if I overuse it without rest.
How about you? What made you come to fight club, I mean Dojo Club?
Re: 3
Are you sure it was a dungeon? That sounds like a palace!
[ Because otherwise it sounded really nice didn't it? Dungeons aren't supposed to be nice, are they? ]
Because of the memories. I think my other self is a really amazing swordsman, so I thought that maybe learning swordsmanship here would help unlock more memories of him.
Re: 3
I think I am a prince...or a leader of thieves, possibly both? So I might actually see a legit palace. There is a nice courtyard I was in, but no idea if that was a palace.
[Al nodded]
Ah, that makes sense. Do you have magic?
Re: 3
Me? No, no I don't. But maybe my other self does. It would be so cool if he did!
[ He looked over at the weapons for a moment. ]
I think he's a good guy, at least. He was protecting people. I think that's what I really want to find out. Is if he was so good at fighting for a good reason.
Re: 3
Last month I blew up a pumpkin while trying to use my fire magic.
And almost died once so...yeah.
[Al looks at the weapons, his eyes dart to a giant sword]
Well so far he sounds like a swell guy, what else do you know about him?
Re: 3
[ He giggled at the thought of the other blowing up a pumpkin. ]
Well, maybe at least you toasted the seeds? Those are always good - silver linings?
[ Yogi eyed a narrower, rapier like weapon compared to the broader sort. ]
Not much, really. He has friends, and he lives somewhere with sheep and rabbits, I think. It's all been just these little pieces. There isn't much to really say about him yet.
Re: 3
It was a good pie.
[Al nods slowly]
Make sense, I can't really tell you much about anyone or anything. My most recent memory was a girl using her magic to bring down a tsunami on an island I was on. But nooooo context
no subject
Wait, the pumpkin slapped you? How did a pumpkin slap you?
[ He paled at that particular story. ]
That sounds really scary! Why would anyone do that?!
no subject
Then, well...A hand kinda came out of nowhere, smacked me and shoved a pie to my face.
[Al shrugs]
Some guy, who I think is my teacher, asked to see her "extreme magic", she said it would be dangerous...he insisted, she brings a freaking tsunami and I am obviously freaking out having a front row seat to this freaking tsunami!
