[beknight]

My name is Alan, originally from 21st century Earth.

I'm looking for sparring partners. I'm familiar with a wide variety of martial arts, unarmed and weapon-based. If you're keen, you can find me here.

​​​​[ Enclosed are directions to a dojo in Olympia; he'll be there all day. ]

If there's enough of us, I'd like to start a regular group. ​​​​[ we're all in this together.mp3 ] We can learn a lot from each other.

​​​​[ eta: here is a log for direct action needs. you are also welcome to jump to action directly in the post. ]

Comments

[exonerated]

archery and spear fighting.
useful when riding on horseback.

[ also ruling and leading, but those would need more prompting. ]

[beknight]

[ there's time for that later. ]

Out of curiosity, are you familiar with a printing press?

[ bc ed bro u sound medieval. he can work with that. ]

[exonerated]

[ BUT ACTUALLY... ]

of course.
useful for bulk printing.

[beknight]

[ Gives him a preliminary idea. He can form the rest once he meets Edmund. ]

The environment here is familiar to you?

[exonerated]

parts of it.

[ he's not even being intentionally vague, that's just... the answer to his question. ]

i suppose 21st century earth is vastly different.

[beknight]

Parts of it. [ The echo is wry, it might not translate over text. ] Always an adjustment going somewhere new.

[exonerated]

you learn it in time.

[ speaking from experience. ]

where were you living, back in earth?

[beknight]

Gotham City. What about you?

[exonerated]

london, kind of.

[ can't say he's heard of gotham, but its a big place, that earth. and to be fair, he doesn't remember much beside the war, anyway.. ]

[beknight]

Travel a lot?

[exonerated]

a fair amount, if needed. i like seeing new places, especially when they like seeing me.

[ lol calormen. ]

though i always preferred being at home. there's something to be said about surrounding yourself with things familiar to you, isn't there?

[beknight]

Nothing like home.

[ His roots are Gotham, as old as the stone. Bruce doesn't take to drifting well. ]

At any rate, the locals don't seem too unhappy about us.

[exonerated]

for now, at least.

[ And there's plenty of time to figure that out later. If this place is anything like Narnia, he would be okay with it. If not... well, it's a brave new world. ]

will you still be at the dojo later today?

[beknight]

Yes. Will you be coming later?

[exonerated]

yes. i'll see you then.
