Training at Sunrise

[buildyourworld]

Who: Tieria and YOU
When: May 9th, a day AFTER Intro Log
Where: Caissa, Coastal District
What: Tieria organized a mass training session, hideous ensues?
Rating: Violence, language, more violence




If you made your way to the location, you're already one step closer upon completing your training because this part of the beach is the furthest away from any settlement or port and also the hardest to find. You probably found it by following other heroes' trail, or you're those who stumbles around until you found it or you're actually one of those who went scouting before the actual day.

Either way, congratulation for making it this far ( puns completely intended ). Surrounding the rocky beach is an even rockier cliff. Be careful not to stumble or you will find yourself in need of healing. Thankfully, there are Kings ready to make a guinea pig out of your healing needs around. Your training will be held on the round rock-carved deck overlooking the beautiful sea or on the less rocky stretch of the beach, depending on your Trainer's choice. If you're lucky, your Trainer might even have you hike up that rocky cliff. You may even treat yourself to Caissa's fantastic sunset if you made it up there in time!

In any case, once you've arrived at sunrise ( or rather when the sun has risen sufficiently over the horizon because you're that bad with direction or has no sense of time ) and is done catching your breath, you will come to a notice pinned on the tall fences that tells you to tie a ribbon ( in the buckets, also tied to the fence ) corresponding to the training you wish to partake in on your arm.

Stamina ( GREEN ) ✽ Endurance ( ORANGE ) ✽ Weapons ( BLUE ) ✽ Magic ( PURPLE )

The notice will also instructs those who volunteers to be Trainers to tie a different set of ribbons, with black stripe over the four corresponding colors, on their arm to help differentiate them and the course(s) they're instructing. Of course, if you turn out to be a terrible Trainer, Tieria will rip that ribbon off you and very possibly shoves you into the sea.

There are no training weapon available because you're supposed to bring your own magic weapon.
If you forgot, you can either run back for it or pick a different course.

There's also a clause in very bold red letters that forbid killing. Break it and you will be broken in return.

Are you done tying those ribbons? Then what are you waiting? Get moving!





(( OOC: Please indicate in your top level if your character is a Trainer (which course are they instructing?) or Trainee.
eg.: Harry Potter | TRAINER - MAGIC
eg.: Severus Potter | TRAINEE - EVERYTHING PLEASE

Feel free to mingle around! Make friends, frenemies and even better, rivals! ))

Tieria Erde | TRAINER - ALL ( except Healing )

[buildyourworld]

[ He's the earliest to arrive, for obvious reason. If you're among those who arrived at sunrise, he will greet all of you with a nod and introduce himself as the organizer. If you're late, you get no introduction because he's likely engaged in training.

Feel free to approach him, be it for training or simply to ask question or to strike up a conversation ( but why would you even want to have a conversation with him? ).

No matter what your reason for approaching him is, he pauses whatever he's doing to give you his full attention. ]

What is it?

[1523]

[ Coming to his aid(?) is none other than Ichigo Hitofuri, with his two katanas sheathed neatly by his side. Originally, he was here to offer his assistance in sword training, but after watching a lot of other trainers around, he's more than happy to be mere students again-- As long as he's getting new experiences that could help the country.

Worry not, he's not here for anything that's even borderline stupid for Tieria's standard. ]

Forgive me, I didn't mean to interrupt your concentration. [ He makes a halt when he's close enough, giving a small formal nod. ] You chose the best spot to train, Sir Tieria.

[buildyourworld]

[ Sir? Why is he suddenly a sir? Sheathing Forseti back into it's cane form, he nods to Ichigo. ] Just Tieria will do. [ He's not used to honorifics and honestly couldn't care for any to begin with.

Ichigo is someone he's familiar with, both from the strange dream and their interactions around the dormitories so he relaxes in his presence. ]

Is everything alright? You're training others right?

you know what i seek

[praises]

[ As the suns have risen in the sky and the training wears on, Allelujah finds himself in between trainees, and instead seeks out a different kind of routine. A familiar one. Tieria isn't hard to find among the other Heroes, and Allelujah smiles a bit on approach, heartened by the weight that seems to have been lifted from him by this endeavor, by his better understanding of how his own mana works. ]

If you aren't busy at the moment, would you take a minute to spar with me?

and I shall grant~

[buildyourworld]

[ He looks up from where he's currently leaning on, because his partner is a giant of a man, and smiles. ]

Sure. With or without weapon?

[ To be honest, for Allelujah, he would make time even if he's busy. ]

[praises]

With, if you don't mind.

[ Allelujah lifts his arm, sporting an interlocking gauntlet of tightly woven leather and intricate machinery. It's obvious this is from the armory, and not simply a purchased weapon. He flexes his hand into a fist around the mechanism, and the blade ejects along the line of his arm, edges bright in the sunlight. ]

Our regimen around the Hall hasn't included them, so far.

[ And now's the time to change it up, he feels. ]

magic!

[babbylon]

You know what.

[So Gilgamesh was a little late to the party. That didn't matter at all, because he's here, and he's going to make it clear to Tieria just where he could take his oversight and shove it. Between the run-in at his business and at the bulletin board, Gilgamesh has had it with this man.

...what he presumes to be a man. He still hasn't quite figured that out for certain yet, but regardless, he's more than ready for a fight.]

As I said before, I am challenging you. On a field of battle familiar to us both, as Queens: magic.

[buildyourworld]

[ He's actually expecting Gilgamesh, if he's to be entirely honest because from what he knows of Gilgamesh, there's no way he will miss this chance to assert his presence.

Gilgamesh, you have to be deft if you can't tell he's a man by now. Seriously. ]

This is a training session, in case you missed the memo.

[ That's not to say he will refuse Gilgamesh because Tieria is pretty sure he'll have to deal with him even more if he says no. ]

[babbylon]

[Daft or not...]

Spars qualify as training.

[...he's got a point. And Tieria's right, he'll keep hammering home that point as much as he has to until the man submits to him.]

tbvf i thought tieria was a woman at first too

[accordance]

[ Lord Light kinda cheated on the cliff by flying straight up it.

But he's here anyway, earlier than a lot of the others, so if Tieria needs help setting up he'll be here to lend a hand. If not, he'll seek out the Innovade still. ]

Are you occupied? We can train if you are not.

lmao it's a canon reaction...

[buildyourworld]

[ He never said you can't fly and since you have to use mana for that, there's that too.

There's nothing much to set up to be honest, since most the training wouldn't require anything but their own magical weapons. He has just finished tying up the bucket for ribbons when the deity approached him. ]

Sure. What do you have in mind?

[accordance]

[ He considers this for a moment - he knows his weakness, but it doesn't really file into the categories that were outlined above. ]

I lack speed in battle, that is one thing. And it may be more useful if we practice magic, I seem to have a higher affinity for it.

[oneirism]

[Even if trying to get here was a bit... painful, she still manages to make it in the end. And right now she's more eager to train than anything, which is why she doesn't hesitate to approach Tieria, her usual lineface showing a hint of determination.]

... I would like to train with you, Tieria.

[buildyourworld]

[ Tieria expects no less from Lapis to be honest. Others might see her as innocent but Tieria knows from their interaction that she has more depth than many others. Innocence or gentleness that radiates from her usual demeanor are nothing more than a useful facade of show she is. ]

Magic or physical?

[oneirism]

[And this is part of the reason why Lapis likes Tieria so much - he knows that there's more to her than she initially appears. It's annoying sometimes when people think she's someone completely, totally innocent.]

... Physical. I want to keep improving my stamina and endurance.

[twosidedsword]

[Shin-Ah...has no idea what is going on. Honestly he just followed the picture to come to this place but he really has no idea what all the colors and people are here for. Though he assumes people are training since they are moving about and practicing things. Still, he can't be sure that is what is happening because people do weird things in this place.

So his approach isn't really an approach. It's more like...he's just happened to wander in Tieria's direction. When he's spoken to, he pauses and blinks. What is it? Ah. Mm...

He gives a quizzical little tilt of his head. It's supposed to mean "what is happening here? do you have an answer?"

But...Shin-Ah forgot to...vocalize that part.]

[buildyourworld]

[ Again with the silent communication. Lucky for Shin-Ah, Tieria is actually rather accomplished in the art of understanding silent protagonist. ]

Are you here for the training or you're lost?

[ He points at the notice tied to the tall fence surrounding the rock arena, just a short distance away for Shin-Ah's reading. ]

[twosidedsword]

...I'm not lost...

[But based on the confusion he didn't come here for the training either. Honestly he's been coming here each day since he saw the notice on the bulletin board and he's finally come across people.

Looking at the notice, he pauses then looks back at Tieria to shake his head. Sorry, he can't read that.]

MAGIC

[burnmydread]

[ Do they really need an introduction, though? After all, they've already been through so much together...not all of it good, mind you, but still.

In actuality, Minato isn't late. He worked with Setsuna first thing and then had to take a nap. One can't expect him to really continue with this training course on low mana, right? He figures that he should shift his efforts from something a little less physical. He's supposed to be a Queen now or something, anyway. He's still waiting on the crown.

But, to answer a blunt question with a blunt answer: ]

Magic.

[ Yeah he still looks a little tired. ]

[buildyourworld]

[ He can definitely see that Minato is still tired but instead of asking him to rest, Tieria will simply nods and lead him to the magic training area. Minato could do with endurance training too. ]

Do you want to start or should I?

[ He'll be nice since he's the trainer. The content of his training however, is not as nice. ]

[burnmydread]

[ The sad part is that he's already had his endurance training. But he endured, so that's half the battle, isn't it? The fact that he made it out of bed this morning is a feat in and of itself. He should be rewarded. With more naps.

Thankfully Minato's work ethic isn't actually completely dismal. His Academics wouldn't be maxed if he didn't have the fortitude to eat a bunch of donburi at a local cafe to raise his stats. When is Tieria going to cook for him? ]

You can start. [ He rolls his shoulders. ] I've only got two new spells I'm learning right now, though.

[avantguard]

[ Sunrise is a little, uh, ambitious for any normal person but Asuna is there on time. She hides a yawn behind her fist as she arrives, joining the rest of the Heroes who have made their appearance at the crack of dawn.

After introductions and realizing that Tieria is the one behind organizing this, she does approach when she gets the chance. She's holding a green ribbon in both of her small hands. ]

Tieria-sa... Mr. Tieria, I was wondering if you plan on making this a one-time event or something that occurs more regularly.

[buildyourworld]

[ He recognizes her, Setsuna's little apprentice. Not that they've spoken to each other until now, there hasn't been any need to since Setsuna could handle her training well enough on his own. But the green ribbon she's holding intrigues him. Did Setsuna not trained her stamina? ]

Just Tieria is sufficient. [ He doesn't care for honorifics much. Her question however has him pausing for a moment to consider. ]

For now, it's a one time thing.

[theskyenceguy]

[somehow, Ema had managed to drag her butt all the way out here at sunrise. she might be a bit out of breath from the walk, but she's here, and that's the important thing. never let it be said that she wouldn't put her all into something when she was determined!]

So you're. . . Mr. Erde, right?

If you're organizing this training session, you must have a lot of combat experience.

[buildyourworld]

Tieria. [ Not one to care for honorifics, he simply states his name instead before addressing her question. He notices of course, that she definitely needs to work on her stamina and likely endurance... most likely everything to be honest. ]

Yes. [ That's all to it to his answer, he's not going to elaborate. ]

What's your name?
