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! ))

I (but also a little II) hi i'm late

[praises]

I believe I'm a little past basics, thanks to you.

[ A babystep or two past, mind, but it's more than he would have accomplished on his own without turning his surroundings into a devastating gravity snowball. Still, he approaches once asked, never one to allow an opportunity to pass him by. ]

But if you don't mind one more, I thought that we could train against one another's specialties, and see where that puts us.

[hymnals]

[ Adra draws his rapier, though it's not with much confidence. He's been reading, but his practical experience with melee weapons is close to nonexistent. They've been a largely ceremonial part of his life, kept for their enchantments and last-ditch self-defense.

So, he might be a little nervous, right now. ]

Let's go, then.

[ He takes up a stance--formal, stiff, right from the book. A spell-reflecting barrier pops up around him, shimmering and translucent. ]

Don't hold back.

[praises]

Understood.

[ For Allelujah, it's a succinct answer, poignant as it is ingrained. In comparison, the stance he assumes is liquid, kinetic. He hits the mechanism for his push-dagger and it shoots out along the line of his forearm — he'll have to watch himself, knowing he can't wield it as dynamically as Adra might his rapier. His aura rears, eyes sharpening in an unspoken go.

Gravity gleams at either of his ankles, making him lighter. His lunge forward is fast and precise, culminating in a straightforward drive of his blade towards Adra. ]

weeps i thought i had replied to this

[hymnals]

[ In point of fact, Adrasteius can barely wield his rapier at all. This is made plain when he tries, ineffectually, to parry Alle's strike; he tries to slash at Alle as though he's using a dagger or a broadsword, rather than the jabbing weapon a rapier is meant to be. Consequently, the rapier's thin blade whooshes right past Alle's entire body, leaving him free to stab directly at Adra's barrier.

(Or Adra himself, had the barrier not been in place.) ]

Damn --

[ Well, this is a magic training, too, right? So Adra flicks his wrist and hisses out an incantation. The Light binds you. Repent, and reflect. The blessing negatively manipulates mana, meant to slow Alle to a complete stop. ]
