[ Video ] Fiddlesticks Day Sixteen (Fight Club)

[rieper]

[It's 47 in his signature suit once more, this time in the new gym. As promised he's here to make the announcement for training again now that the new passengers have had a few days to adjust.]

Your attention, please.

My name is Tobias Rieper, and I would like to inform the passengers today that all the former training equipment in the original gym has been transferred to the new training gym. Sessions for training and sparring are still ongoing, they have simply been moved to the appropriate gym for the foreseeable future.

[Most people have probably already figured that out or been informed by any trainers that they've moved but 47 wanted to make it clear. The important part was to inform the new passengers what and where it was being done anyway.]

To all new passengers: there is training for combat available to anyone seeking to learn held daily in the training gym. Training is available for beginners to advanced level with various types of combat on hand to suit one's needs. Martial arts, archery, swordsmanship, and other skills are currently on offer by many individuals. [Enough that one-on-one training was probably easily obtained, truth be told.]

If you need help in finding a sparring partner or trainer you may contact me for help finding one or come to the training gym to ask around.

Thank you for your time.

[The announcement ends and 47 stands nearby the terminal to field any questions if there are any this time.]

[[Meanwhile, ooc nonsense: here is the first ooc announcement of "Fight Club", please feel free to add any characters willing to or already participating in learning or teaching if not already listed. This can help us keep track of who is teaching what in case anyone has any recommendations for new characters when they arrive. And last but certainly not least is the open catch-all log for the Month of Fiddlesticks. Next ic month I'll start a new one if interest continues!
Oh, yeah. Characters such as Drizzt and Glorfindel have individual catch-alls if you prefer as well. Happy training guys!]]

...It's never come up, no.

[That seemed fair enough. 47 thought back to the Snow Mission again.]

I take it you don't use stealth as a means. What then?

[theirondragon]

Deflection. You don't square off against mages without shields.

[He paused for a moment, crossing his arms, thoughtful.]

I don't take you for a guy who uses one often.

[rieper]

And that works for all magics?

[Or perhaps all the magic types from this person's world. Still, it was worth considering.]

They're no longer considered common gear for fighting forces in my world.

[theirondragon]

Easy now. It works for a lot of kinds of magic, the direct kind. You know, the kind where there's a fireball in your face and you need something in the way. The weird shit that messes with your head? Nah. Nothing's good for that, except the Templars, but I forgot to put one of those in my pocket.

That's a shame. You never know when somebody's going to throw acid at your face.

[rieper]

How do the Templars counter magic with no physical aspect? Do they also possess magic?

I prefer not to give them the chance.

[theirondragon]

You want an answer to that one, you're going to have to ask a Templar.  Far as I know, it's not magic, but a technique, takes the spells apart sort of like unraveling fabric, but that's only from watching them work.

[He really has no idea.]

Sometimes that's not an option.

[rieper]

If one arrives on the train, let me know.

[He'll keep that in mind because that sounds very interesting indeed. If he met a Templar from the Iron Bull's world one day 47 would most definitely ask about such techniques.]

It may not be but it is the first option. Second would be to be quicker. [And put a bullet between their eyes but that might have sounded a little too aggressive for the ICP chatter.]
