Training: The Gammon edition
Who: Caren and you!
When: Gladia 10th (aka August 10th)
Where: Kickdton, Gammon
What: Caren organized a mass training session. This can only go well.
Rating: PG-13 for possible language and certainly violence. Train on!

It's not a difficult place to find, considering the directions: all heroes had to do was find Kickin' Kiwi park, and head straight for the river. There would be all sorts of helpful signs which hero worshippers may have helped set up. Watch out for the kiwi birds though, they're everywhere! In the distance, there's the Royal Foccer Fellowship Stadium. So in case one wishes to go watch some foccer practice instead, that's always an option.
But that's not what you heroes are here for, is it? You're here in the middle of a truly beautiful park for some training! There's a notice (and possibly a fan or two hovering around) stuck to a clean pile of rocks, saying for trainnees must tie a ribbon (which are in buckets, and also somehow stuck to the rocks?) to their arm, corresponding to the training they wish to take. The categories are as follow:
Healing (BLUE) Weapons (RED) Magic (PURPLE) Endurance (GREEN) Sparring (ORANGE)

Trainers are instructed to take the armbands (also found in the buckets!) of the corresponding colours of their course so not to confuse the students. However, if it turns out you are a terrible trainer, Caren will happily take away your armband and give you your own special lesson. (What that lesson is, no one wants to find out).
Don't forget to bring your heroic weapons, because training weapons are not provided. Though maybe you'll get lucky, and someone will want to teach hand to hand combat!
It's also highlighted in BOLD RED LETTERS THAT KILLING IS FORBIDDEN. Try to break this rule, and Caren will break you. Slowly.
Have your ribbon on? It's time to start that training montage!
((OOC: EVERYONE IS WELCOME! Make friends, learn a few things, and have fun!
Also please incidate in your top level if you are a trainee or a trainer!
eg The Doctor | Trainer -Magic
Donna Noble | Trainee - EVERYTHING PLEASE
Jack Harkness | Trainer - Endurance + trainee -magic))

[ She found herself reaffirming it again; white hair or not, Caren was nothing like her. She was human, she was sure of it. Humans had it easier to the Nephilim, as far as she was concerned. While all of that grooming and manipulation that other Nephilim placed on her, it was a little hard to let go of that resentment of humans. She spent majority of her life in hiding or on edge thanks to humans.
It was hard not to be resnentful of them. ]
When I say dangerous for my kind, it also could endanger you.
[ Caren didn't need to know the details of it. She imagined revival was a pain; in a way, after being thrust back into the mortal world from Danu, it was a revival. Or rather, a smack of reality to her. ]
I would much rather not see; if I wanted to see a good scar all I would have to do is look at my face. I'm happy to take your word, to an extent, at least. As much as I can with a human. We're on cordial terms, let's keep it that way.
no subject
Like pride.]
It would be difficult to harm me. I don't mean that as a brag. It's a part of my current rank. I'm made to endure.
[Really, if she wants to try something, she can go right ahead. Caren can take it. Pawns, not so much. But her lips curve into a small smile, and she nods.]
I have no reason to try to antagonize you. I'd rather ensure your survival. If you don't trust that, let's just try to be cordial and use each other agreeably.
no subject
Needless to say, it does hit a nerve with her; she's already more insecure about herself than she lets on. Having humans and strangers stronger than her is simply unacceptable. ]
How fortunate for you that you have that. [ "And I'm not at my fullest stature." She almost slips, but she bites her tongue. She can easily slip on a false smile and act gently if the need serves it. Still, it's a pain to try and incorporate 13 years of education again into another system; it feels like she's let down her teacher. ]
I trust that you would be able to help. [ Not really. ] So you have nothing to worry about.
[ So help her if she loses control and kills anyone around her, starting with Caren. ]
no subject
But that smile is...ah. Heh.
So Caren smiles back, charmingly insincere. It hurts her mouth, so she doesn't do it for long.]
Oh, nothing at all. I'll do all I can to finish what I start.

[ On the other hand, she can hold it, just a bit longer because outside of her pride, she's dedicated to her pursuit of strength and knowledge. What good of a druid would she be if she didn't pursue knowledge? Outside of her inward struggle, Regina didn't want to hurt Caren; she couldn't bring herself to hurt another woman. ]
So do I.
[ She would bury it, she could manage it. She had no other choice to control herself. It didn't matter, Regina had already absolved in climbing ranks. ]
Regardless of limitations, they will not stop me from learning more.
no subject
No, she'll let the matter rest. In time, Regina will learn from her mistake, or not. It doesn't matter to her, so long as she doesn't get in her way. She has no problem in hurting women or children. They're just people and everyone suffers so nicely.]
It's a good attitude to have. But as well-I should warn you that magic, while it is guided by intention, is best utilized when one has an understanding of how the world works.
Does that make sense to you?
