I. text

Sparring partners wanted. Your choice of melee weapon. Meet by the forest, anytime this afternoon.

II. action

[ Cullen waits by the forest, near where the lizard's watery tail disappears between the trees. Half an armory is propped against a fallen trunk, lest any potential sparring partners did not think to bring their own. He trains alone as he waits, sword in hand, practicing stances. Very rarely he remembers to glance at his communication device, to see if any messages require a response. ]

No, but there is a shortage of organised training times. So far this gets faster results.

Ok but what results are you really looking for here
Practical training don't make up for experience

Wonderland will give people experience, whether they want it or not. Anyone who gets a chance to prepare for that in training ought to take it.

[boonie]

Staying in peak physical condition ain't always gonna be your saving grace
It puts you ahead of the curve but how far will that really get you in a place like this ?

[morework]

Further than doing nothing at all. Or do you have a better suggestion?

[boonie]

since we cant plan for what happens or where we end up
maybe basic maneuvers and a set of ground rules would be more helpful
something that can apply to anything and adapt to everything

[ Cullen arches his brow at the message. This. Is one of those cross-universe differences, isn't it? ]

What do you think training is, if not that?

[boonie]

It definitely ain't basic
But if you're running drills I wouldn't pass on the opportunity for participation points

[morework]

Good. Come to the forest, near where it meets the river. You can tell me more about the maneuvers and ground rules you had in mind.
