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's under the assumption that "dick" was another word to describe someone abrasive. Terms like that don't really exist in her time. Still- ]
We are not all knowledgeable as we think ourselves to be, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. For one, we're all here to learn how to better combatants, aren't we?
[ Regina gestures to her armband. ]
So you seek to learn more magic. If you like, I can assist you with what I know, from my world. I think the better question is, what do you want to master?

Well, if we're starting with magic, there's really one thing that I want to master. The basicest of the basics--'cast a spell.'
Probably something that can heal, or maybe that can stop someone dead in their tracks. Either-or.
tl;dr i am making this up as i go
"Basicest"?
[ Hey, if it works, it works. It's actually kind of cute. ]
At the moment, I fear that I am limited to help you cast spells, however, you certainly don't always need magic to stop someone dead in their tracks.
[ But she's looking to help with magic, something basic, basicest as she said. ]
So, in that case... Where I come from, all magic is rooted in the world around us. My people believe that everything has energy, life in it. But, in order to use any of that magic, we must be open to that energy around us. I've always been taught the most effective way of spell casting was, of course, concentration, and to focus on your being and eliminate distractions around you.
[ Giving instruction makes her feel... a little nervous. She doesn't say that despite her upbringing and schooling, a proper druid is taught for twenty years and... she's been learning these things for thirteen years. She just hopes that she's explaining this perfectly to a stranger. ]
The "mana" or whatever it's called seems similar to it, doesn't it? It's energy around us. So, then-
[ She holds her palm out, closing her eye softly to ground herself in the lands around her. ]
We're standing on earth, that's a good start. Let's see you now -- can you concentrate on that? If you can, clear your mind, feel the world and the energy around you. See with that energy if you can make the earth move. That's a basic spell- no, it is the roots of casting a spell. Connection and concentration. Open yourself.
