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! ))

It's dead silent.

[She offers a little shrug, her hands clasped in front of her. She's not surprised at his reaction; it's almost typical.]

And it is awkward when you're expected to act a certain way. React to something with pleasure. Anger. Sadness. Don't even get me started on love or affection.

At least with pain or suffering, I can feel something.

[hymnals]

And you've been this way since birth?

[ His tone is less judging, and more--clinical. Like a doctor assessing a patient. ]

[showsnopiety]

Oh yes.

I didn't get my first stigma until I was ten years old. After that, I was used for demon detection.

But I've lost that since I arrived. I miss the bandages.

[hymnals]

[ fucking hell caren ]

You need to consider your approach carefully. Maybe it's easier for you to imagine taking the pain into yourself, but if you suffer so much each time, your work won't be particularly efficient.

[ Also: suffering is terrible and should be avoided. But Adra can hardly judge her on that count, so he won't. ]

[showsnopiety]

[CAN'T A GIRL MISS HER BANDAGES]

That would depend on how the pain was taken in, and what kind of pain. But, I suppose if I am to heal on a rapid basis it would be less effective.

[This takes a second to consider. Hm.]

Minor healing perhaps. I'll simply have to visualize differently for other times of injuries and illnesses.

[hymnals]

[ the light does not judge

adra only judges a little ]

What about spells outside of healing? Have you done much there?

[showsnopiety]

[A little?

Uh huh]

Just flinging light, mostly as a distraction tactic. Like throwing dust in ones eye.

[hymnals]

[ a smidge ]

Hmm. Let's try something else.

[ A gesture; an incantation. A barrier pops up around Adra, translucent and shimmering. ]

Think of what you just did--taking that pain into yourself. Now take that feeling and convert it into force. Channel it through light: what soothes can also burn. Direct it at me.

[showsnopiety]

[What a great priest.]

Take the pain and make it into force...?

[Oh. She liked this idea. She liked this idea a lot. There wasn't any attempt for grand gestures or for verses enacted; instead her hand came up, palm flat and facing the ground, fingers pointing towards Adra's shield. At Adra.]

Burn.

[Pain, hot and angry, leapt from her fingers in the form of firey light. Maybe it was more of a poison then a fire ball. But hey! She aimed for him, and the spell worked.]

[hymnals]

[ FORTUNATELY FOR ADRA his shield is quite robust, and it absorbs her magic handily. He just looks deadpan at the result. ]

Well done. Unsurprisingly.

[showsnopiety]

[Good thing she's a pawn, ain't that right. Her hand drops, and she offers him a frown.]

Unsurprisingly?

[hymnals]

Your whole face lit up. Clearly you were made for offensive magic.

[showsnopiety]

It did?

[She touches her face. She doesn't remember smiling. Huh.]

How particular. I'm used to being the one taking the damage, not causing it.

[hymnals]

[ He wouldn't call it a smile. A smile implied something nice. He'd call it intensity. Which normally attracted him; interested him. He frowns. ]

Which would you prefer to focus on?

[showsnopiety]

[And she was not normally so intense, about anything. Or so it seemed.]

...I would be more comfortable with taking damage. It's what I know.

[hymnals]

[ Hmm. ]

As you like. You know what to practice.

[showsnopiety]

Yes.

[She takes a moment to curtsy, even in the ridiculously short skirt she's been issued.]

Thank you very much for your instruction.

[hymnals]

[ Charming AND slightly improper! His favorite combination. ]

Come back to me again after a time, and we'll move forward.

[showsnopiety]

[So does that mean Adra likes skirts that barely go over the booty?]

Yes sir. I look forward to the next set of lessons.

[She knows she'll need it. Especially if...when she ranks up. She'll need all the weapons she can get her hands on for...

...well.]
