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. ]

i think you saw from experience im not really a sparring kind of guy

( and, well, it would be hard to fake being a beginner when there were senses and reflexes Peter had a hard time hiding at the best of times. )

[ He's thinking about that. ]

Offer's open if you change your mind. It never hurts to know how to defend yourself.

[ He's a patient man. But he's also not hunting. ]

thanks, ill keep it in mind
we will see how far i can make it on brains alone. if i need some tips i know who to go to.

you do this for a living or something? sparring & stuff, i mean

[beknight]

I do. I used to teach.

[ Two. And now he's adding to that number. It's like his book club. ]

yeah? ( Peter can be pretty trusting to say the least, but he can see that. Mr. Foster had managed to teach him a few things, surprisingly, considering he's supposed to be the guy with superpowers. ) seems like a handy skill to have around here.

me, i was a photographer, somehow i doubt there is a daily bugle replacement just waiting for me to show up... gonna have to up my game

( since they're all expected to work, and Peter know pretty well by now that vigilantism doesn't pay the bills. )

I have a friend here who was a journalist. Maybe you two can start a paper for the refugees.

whats his name?

( it's... not a bad idea, actually. it could help a lot of people, in fact... though maybe it still wouldn't be helping on the financial front. )

[beknight]

Clark Kent.

[ too bad neither of them can just cash in cheques from Wayne Enterprises. ]

huh... could be a good idea, mr foster
i will see if i can track him down.

( imagine a thumbs up emoji here, please. )

[beknight]

No problem, Mr. Parker.

[webdesigned]

peter is cool. mr parker was my dad, or when i got super in trouble at school

( either way, not a positive association. )

[beknight]

Peter, then. Call me Alan.

[webdesigned]

ok... i can do that

( shhh don't mind the fact that he hasn't actually done it. he will. HE CAN DO THAT. mr. foster alan seems like a nice guy, so no need to be intimidated... right? )
