( Here it is, in the evening after platform is now behind them, and Wei Wuxian is... reaching out. To all y'all. )

To those who offered to help with running illusion training, I've drafted a schedule to run through for a first session. Miss Spider, I'm more than happy to come to you! Curufin Fëanorion, Young Hero Casper, Caleb Widogast, Zewu-jun, Wen Sizhui, you make up the rest if you'd like to come to me, though Casper I know we're still seeing how it'd work.

( Then he claps his hands and smiles at the camera. )

To everyone else, we'll be using half the training gym on Merriment Three from morning to mid-day for people wanting to continue or begin training in illusion recognition and breakthrough. It's about time for another mission to end up falling into our laps, so best prepare as we can, ah?

( Lowering his hands, he only pauses to again shake a finger at the screen: )

There are also eleven extra pendants in illusion resistance I had made from people's donated extra crystals! If you'd like to borrow one for training purposes or mission, ask myself or your Team Lead. No promises on effectiveness as of yet, but they may help.

( Cheery wave and then off goes the camera!

ooc: Given how much will be going on wrt mission coming up, at present I'm not planning to put this particular training log up and would say handwave it: this is likely to be ongoing if Wei Wuxian has his way, so future sessions (probably in non-mission months OOCly) will have logs! )

Comments

[weifinder]

I look forward to your commentary!

( Which he does, really, he's curious. )

Mah, a handful have said as much here, we'll see who wanders by then; I'm not so concerned, and maybe after whatever hits us next things will feel more or less necessary.

( ... maybe attendance will be up after... mission... he's guessing? But also not worried about how many show up. He figures most aren't going to speak up on ICP. )

[achickenformylove]

Of course. I will make sure it is thorough.

[At least when someone asked WangJi for an opinion, it wasn't just a fluff opinion... though they might get more than they wanted]

A handful is still a good figure. There will likely be some who just come because it is happening or because they heard your message and are curious.

[weifinder]

... Ahahaha, you... you would... be kind, at least a little bit, Lan Zhan, I'm years out of practise...

( As any sort of teacher beyond "congratulations, you're poisoned." Said laughingly, but with the sudden remembrance of exactly how thorough Lan Zhan always has been. Gulp. )

Yes! So I was thinking, and really, no need for more than a handful anyway—we're not united by sect or anything of the sort here. Volunteers are all I'd want to see.

[achickenformylove]

Constructive. [Not cruel]

That is true. In an actual mission, having just one able to break an illusion might be able to assist others. So there is no need to have everyone on the train be an expert at it.

[weifinder]

Exactly! Just as with any group, people have different strengths and weaknesses. Having a handful who work hard and can resist or navigate these kinds of challenges is like having any other group focussed and targeted on this or that skill. You know, like Night Hunts could be run when people weren't, ah, caught up on the particulars. Particularly.

[achickenformylove]

Of course. More efficient to have one person a master at something than have a lot of people who are novices. Besides, I think those with some magical or ability to cultivate energy would have an easier time of it.

[weifinder]

Yes, that's about what I thought too... at the same time, people's untapped potentials, there's no one to discount simply for not having a background we recognise for its training or gifts.

( Here he's simply curious and thinking on what may or may not matter the most for facing future situations where senses of the standard kind may entirely lie. )

Regardless, we'll be getting an idea of it all soon enough.

[achickenformylove]

Of course. There are many here who have their own gifts even if they wouldn't be the best at illusion breaking.

Yes, we will. I will see you then.
