hey so, i know everyone is feeling uh
sketchy across the board about all the shit that's been happening with the null and the hosts
and i think maybe the whole invasion last thing is sticking with everyone, along with those fucked up experiments
or maybe that's just me

whatever
my point is, i know a few of us are willing to teach magic and self defense and stuff like that, but most of us have been offering it randomly on the network
there's nothing organized, as far as i know
other than lance's directory, but i'm thinking something a little more dojo-y
so i'm thinking to make everyone feel safer, maybe you can all officially offer your services here
and set up some kind of official meet up or class time, if enough people are into it
oh, but if you're going to charge or demand favors in exchange or whatever, get out of here with that crap
no extorting people who are scared and/or looking to protect the city
that's lame

long story short, me and harlan are willing to teach people magic
if anyone else wants to play mr. miyagi or the karate kid, let's hear it

[She grins. Good enough.]

Yep. What's up?

[freewilling]

[ she seems casual enough and a part of him just about goes for matching the attitude - but the occasion is still official, so he opts for his proper name. ]

My name is James Barnes, I'm interested in your lessons. If you got guns or any use for hand-to-hand, I'm happy to train others, as well.

Nice to meet you, James. I don't have any guns, and I kind of suck at using them, but I know there's an armory and stuff, so there's definitely some around for you to use.

[freewilling]

You as well, Kyna. Thank you, I'll be sure to check that out.

[ definitely useful intel already, he's glad to have braved the strange phone ]

Can I get a little more information on your lessons? When you say 'magic' - what do you mean, practically?

[evocation]

Uh... It kind of depends on what you want to know. I specialize in evocation—the fireball throwing kind of magic. Other people are really good at healing or defensive magic or transformation or whatever.

[freewilling]

It's a completely new subject to me, to be quite honest I didn't think it was real, so I'm starting from zero. What's a good place to start?

[ healing and defensive are both obviously appealing but fireball throwing is definitely a kind of defense! ]

[evocation]

We can start with a little bit of everything, if you want.

[freewilling]

That sounds great. Just tell me the where and when, and I'm there.
