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! ))

[ Maybe Minato expects Setsuna to take pity on him because the balloon makes direct contact with his leg. Minato stumbles and falls forward--only to be caught by one of the fish. That seriously happened.

This is going to be some disney princess shit going on right here.

--or maybe it just wants to eat the pudding on him? Either way, it's enough to keep Minato from going down entirely and he's able to use the fish to hop onto the next platform and start his run back towards the shore. ]

[ Setsuna knows that Minato has charisma. It's not particularly hard to see. But what he didn't expect is that how it extends to overwhelming levels. Or maybe that's a side effect of the Queen Rank...? Intentional or not, it's quite useful in this situation.

And whether it's because of his Rank or the pudding all over him, Minato still made it through. But how long will that luck last? A new flock of balloons are after the boy again, continuing the prevention against recovery.

It's a little distracting to have the cheering fish chase Minato all over the platforms. They're circling around with him, mouths open as they constantly attempt to eat pudding particles that manage to land towards them.

Hey, now... Is this really a training session? ]

[ Is this a side effect of his rank or just his insurmountable swag? It's hard to tell. But Minato wasn't really looking for an audience in sea life. First the mermaids, and now this. Why does this keep happening?

Or are they really just hungry?

Well, this is going to be a problem either way, because they're starting to get less like little platforms he can use and more like giant fish who keep trying to knock him off them, accidentally or otherwise.

This time, Minato stands his ground and let's a few of the balloons hit him. Gross.. He's knocked over on the platform, but takes the opportunity to just...wipe a bunch of the excess off and try to feed it to the fish.

Before going back to running.

...Yet, they're in pursuit.

Seriously, they're following him en mass like a siege of hungry koi on a growing tidal wave. That's getting closer to the shore, and subsequently, to Setsuna. ]
