Video; Action for Gym Car; Fiddlesticks Day Two - Afternoon

[usestwohands]

[Having spoken to a few people over the network now, Drizzt has gotten better about exactly how to use the comm devices in every car, at least to the point that he was able to do a train-wide broadcast, and after taking inventory of what was provided in the gym car, as well as what had been collected by the other passengers who'd donated to the cause, they needed a concerted effort.]

Good afternoon. I am new here, embarking only yesterday, but I want to applaud Tobias Rieper for his efforts in organizing those who would learn the ways of combat and giving them a means by which to learn. I am Drizzt Do'Urden, and if you have a desire to train in hand-to-hand or melee weapons, it would be my honor to teach you.

[To spite his odd coloring, violet eyes and white hair, he also looks to be no older than 16, his pointed ears hidden beneath the hood of the purple hoodie he wears.]

In that, though, we require aid. We have a few weapons here others have collected and have seen fit to donate to the cause, but we have use of craftsmen. I mean not blacksmiths, we have no facilities befitting a forge, but training weapons, tools, shields, these we have a use for.

[He inclines his head.]

You have my thanks.

[And the feed ends.]

If you manage to get supplies, I can craft more weapons for practice. More wooden practice weapons could be easily created if you want. Metal working would...take more time and patience than advisory without a proper forge to shape larger pieces, but we can wield metal items with ease.

There are...other methods as well. Certain people with special abilities could help you.

[He needed a sign in the gym for this, didn't he.]

If you're looking for a personal weapon, pick your poison.

If you're looking to supply the whole train... that might take a bit longer.

[laurefindil]

I can supply bamboo for making practice weapons.

Re: [ Video ]

[usestwohands]

Welcome news! The train, however, seems an unwelcome source of quality wood. None of the trees in the Greenhouse are large enough to supply the demand.

[But hang on just a moment.]

What sorts of abilities?

Re: [ Video ]

[usestwohands]

I would be interested in acquiring personal weapons, yes, but for the moment, I require more consistent training tools for novices.

[That being said-]

Do you know where I could acquire a pair of scimitars?

[usestwohands]

That would be a boon, to be sure. Thank you.

[ Video ]

[shutupnail]

Hmm. I guess there's not much of a range of weapons to chose from right now. I could make a few more to help I guess.

[He doesn't really get it. He'd much rather just fist fight. But that wasn't the only fighting style out there and he knew it. Might as well make himself useful.]

I can make you a pair right now if you want.

I'm not an expert these types of abilities, but I've seen people use various forms of magic, supernatural skills, and physical feats uncommon in my own world.

For example, there is a lady on board the train that can instantly grow plant species at will. [Thus negating any worry about a supply of wood. If she was willing.]

[marriedanidiot]

You should see if my husband or son could aid you there - both of them are craftsmen of surpassing ability, and you would be surprised what they have been able to create!

[ Video ]

[usestwohands]

...really? [He looks beyond surprised. Rieper mentioned there were others with abilities who could, but-]

I would be in your debt.

Re: [ Video ]

[usestwohands]

I've seen wizard spells capable of conjuring spectral weapons, but nothing physical.

[He pauses a moment, allowing that to sink in.]

No wonder the plants in the greenhouse are so vibrant.

[usestwohands]

I shall do so, thank you. Who am I seeking?

[ Video ]

[shutupnail]

Yes, really.

I don't really do debt. If this is something that will help I see no reason not to do it.

[laurefindil]

Do you have any skills in crafting practice weapons, by any chance? I would not mind the help, if so.

[marriedanidiot]

My husband is Feanaro, Feanor, most call him here - he's most often found with young Tony Stark, who is another one who is quite good at this! And my son is Curufin. I do believe my nephew Fingon has made his own bow, also - you could ask him where he got the materials, perhaps!

[rieper]

I don't know much about magic. [Which may peeve him a bit.] But I have seen weapons produced from what appears to be magic.

She has been kind enough to supply the flowers in each of the carriages. [In the garden boxes 47 made.] As well as tend to some of the greenhouse plants. She has also been thoughtful enough to allow some to grow at a natural pace to give the many gardeners a hobby to keep at while stuck here.

Re: [ Video ]

[usestwohands]

[It would seem Miss was right, after all. There were a surprising number of those collected here willing to help.]

Perhaps we could meet and I can provide more detail?

[ Video ]

[shutupnail]

That would help. [Just seeing the guy will help him get the balance better at least. Plus the whole giving it to him thing.] We could see if the quiet coach has a room available or meet in the standard coach if you prefer an open space.

[usestwohands]

[He shook his head.]

I have not, but I am willing to learn and a quick study.

[usestwohands]

Ah, I've met your husband, then. He was very curious about my heritage.

[Something that makes Drizzt only very slightly uncomfortable.]

I will do so, thank you. You are a gifted artisan in your own right.

Re: [ Video ]

[usestwohands]

I'll admit, at first glance I mistrusted the lot of you, but perhaps it is as I've been told: we all work together for the greater good.

[laurefindil]

Ah. I have....a LOT of bamboo now, so we can afford to practice. Please come see me in the Greenhouse when you have some spare time?

[marriedanidiot]

[ She sighs in the fashion of all spouses everywhere ]

Oh dear... I hope he did not bother you unduly! He means well, truly... but my Feanaro has ever been ... extremely curious. ABout everything."

She smiles. "Thank you! But stone is my gift, unlike my husband and son."

[ Video ]

[usestwohands]

An open space may be preferable, if you require demonstration.

[usestwohands]

[As much as he's doing his best to contain it, it's plane to note he's excited about the opportunity.]

Most of my time is spare. When should I meet you?
