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. ]

Sounds like fun. I'm a little out of practice these days, it would be good to brush up.

[beknight]

Come over when you're free. I'm already here, there's plenty of space and private rooms.

Will there be slabs of meat and an impressive training montage?

[He could've made a quick RSVP, but Keith's decided to look over the attached directions and head directly to the dojo. The invite seemed innocuous enough, but he's already poised to get jumped when he steps onto the property...

So far so good. He'll knock at the front rather than barge right in.]

Hello? [There's a pause, then he's testing the door.] I'm here for training...

[ action! ]

[ Not one to expend much energy on further conversation over the network, especially with Alan’s offer so plainly stated, Aranea jumps at the opportunity to get out from the confines of her cramped quarters.

Drawing open the door to the dojo, her eyes sweep over the entirely foreign architecture and layout. Nevertheless, there remains a few key points for her to discern which areas are for what — a shooting range out back, different areas for a multitude of sparring partners.

Careening the volume of her voice above whatever noise might be going around her, she’s quick to ask for where her sparring partner may be. ]

Might any of you be ‘Alan from 21st century Earth’?

I think getting a group together is a perfect idea considering this past week.

Perhaps there should also be regular training sessions for newcomers as well for those unfamiliar with combat.

[gonna just. hop on this with her Type A Leader Personality when it comes to training. don't mind her.]

[ As much as Jyn enjoys sparring, she doesn't want to join a club or anything like it. Not right now. Not after Eadu. ]

I prefer freelance to regular groupings. Is that a problem?

[ that is to say: if they're having a zen fight club where they schedule practice and partners and all get froyo after, she isn't interested. ]

Think it's kinda clear I don't have a choice.
You there all day?

Sparring partners? Your hobbies keep growing.

un: mad-dog

[hannya]

you found an open dojo already? I can barely find a goddamn convenience store

un: stormborn

[ex_jelmazmo599]

Ah, we meet again. If you are indeed the man I met that day by the stasis pods.

It is good to see you have arrived safely, ser.

[beknight]

And you are?

[beknight]

Not at all.

There are plenty of private rooms available.

[beknight]

Find out.

[beknight]

I like to keep busy.

Are you interested in learning?

[beknight]

Agreed. We got a taste of it with the monsters out there in the forest.

What time should I expect you?

[motivation]

tempting
but who's to say i'd not be wasting my time

[beknight]

You're a special case. I'll see you soon.

& batcrypted.

[beknight]

We should meet independently of training with Diana. I have a different approach from her.

[ Two teachers are better than one. ]

Come tomorrow morning.

[beknight]

There's several around. The locals are happy to give directions.

[beknight]

There are a few programs here, open to students of all levels.

Did you have something in mind?

[beknight]

And you, Your Grace.

How're you settling in?
