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?

It's okay, none of us really had full control of how we were as monsters.
no subject
[Derek lets out a sigh.]
I burn plenty of bridges on my own just fine. I didn't need any sort of assistance.
no subject
Did you try talking to them and apologizing?
[That's what he did! though he is admittedly a much...softer boy than Derek...]
no subject
Eventually. They kept running away from me for a few days, so I had to bite the bullet and apologize through text. Texting an apology isn't exactly my style, not as personal. But when you are left with no other choice...
[He lets out a small sigh.]
The person told me not to talk to them for a while. So, I'm just waiting really. Hoping that they will talk to me again.
no subject
[Poor Derek. He hasn't encountered anyone that held that kind of grudge, so it must've been extra bad...]
Well, I hope they come around eventually. I get being upset, but you weren't really at fault for what happened....
[Says the guy that completely blamed himself for everything. Hypocrisy, thy name is Elliot ]
no subject
[Derek shifts around to better face Elliot.]
So, how does your healing magic work anyway? I know you used it on me and all, but I wasn't in any condition to really pay attention.
no subject
[boy is this always a question he doesn't know how to answer]
It's....magic?
no subject
Obviously it's magic. But my magic appears to be different than your magic. I don't have a staff, I have a wand. So I guess what I'm asking is, what is the theory behind your magic?
no subject
[???? ??? ??? ]
I...don't know? My memories are still pretty vague about that...and I'm more a musician than a scholar...
no subject
Derek lets out a small sigh.]
OK, let me try a more specific question: Do you always have to sing when you perform magic? And is it always with your staff?
no subject
No? It depends on the spell. The staff really just makes it easier to boost the power, but I don't need it to cast.
no subject
So, is magic common in the world your other self is from?
no subject
[Sure, some of his spell requires his ARCUS but...it just has to be on his body. No one has to know it's there]
Yeah, very common. My skills aren't actually anything noteworthy in that world, I think.
no subject
no subject
Not...exactly? [he rubs the back of his head] My other self was learning it, but he was at a military academy.
no subject
no subject
no subject
What kind of school did your other self go to?
no subject
Um...a military academy....?
no subject
[Sorry Elliot. Magic+ military academy does not equal any logical sense in Derek's head.]
no subject
no subject
Sorry, I'm just trying to wrap my head around your world and it's a challenge.
no subject
Magical things is pretty common in that world, I'm not anyone special for having it from the sound of it. So if magic's that common, of course it's going to be taught are different type of schools. Military School is just one type I guess...
no subject
[Derek pinches the bridge of his nose for a moment before looking over at Elliot again.]
No one seems to have magic like mine. So, I'm just trying to understand. Trying to make some kind of connection. Being the only one like me here is damn lonely.
no subject
[Yeah, he does get that. He bites his lip a little]
...Yeah, I know that loneliness. Sorry I'm not more help. I really don't know much about how magic works.
