pawnstorm | 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!

"Nor did I! It's a bit of a surprise, but a good one. At least as much as it can be, away from home and what we know!"

He had to smile. This was definitely the girl he knew, although he had never known her well. He was a bit surprised how much that fact comforted him. Not being able to sense her was as much a strange and discomforting thing to him as it was to her...and on that note!

"Ahhh, yes, this place is slightly strange in that none of the powers we have in our homes get to travel with us. I've lost my reiatsu, you see! Therefore, I wasn't able to sense you when you arrived."

The explanation of the leek had him chuckling, genuine laughter for once!

"Hmmm, I'd hope it's not too ancient a relic! Freshness is important, after all! Did they tell you what its powers are?"

"Oh..." Well, that that is good to know. She was worried, but if someone as powerful as him had lost his abilities as well, maybe then it was a common thing around this place. But there's something else about it that doesn't make sense."That's so strange...they brought us to this place to fight in a war but take away our abilities to do so?"

Freshness is definitely important for produce. "Well...it doesn't smell like it's spoiled! It must really be magic, in that case."

Imagine the recipes one could make with this! If they didn't want to use it in battle. Which she does, probably.

"They said something about influence over other vegetables, but I'm not really sure what that's supposed to mean. Maybe none of them will spoil?"

"Influence over other vegetables, eh? Is the leek a master of onions?"

He was chuckling, since the idea was so preposterous. But it wasn't exactly out of place in Blanc, either.

"Hmmm, I'm not sure! I haven't dealt with vegetable weapons as yet, but it would make sense that they should last! I doubt they'd assign you something that would spoil before it could be used against the enemy!

And ahhh, yes, I know it sounds ridiculous, but our powers from home disappear upon arrival. We gain different ones native to this place as time goes on, though! It's strange, but it seems to work."

For as fantastical as her imagination could be, even she was a little surprised by it. But, well, in a place where magic is the name of the game, why not? She's more concerned that she won't be able to wield it properly, which is why she came to train in the first place.

"I guess so! I'll have to try and see. Maybe it can talk to the other onions and form a united front?"

She's actually not far off. But that's for a later time.

"Was it difficult...? I know that you have so many more abilities than I do."
