Public Channel - Day 146

Uh, hello. This is Marinette. I know everyone's still recovering from the weird other world stuff that happened and all.

I guess I was just wondering if anyone here knew how to use a sword? Like, a real sword, for battle.

[She knows that a really weird thing to ask, but explaining it would just take so much time...]

So... Let me know!

I know how to fight with a blade. Are you seeking to learn for the sake of defending yourself, or...? [Well, if the defense team was as small as it appeared to be, Syrlya assumes there's no need to train anyone as soldiers.]

[Marinette? Rita remembers her...]

You're looking to practice sword-fighting?

[Come to think of it, she was using a sword when they first met... but then, that wasn't really the same Marinette.]

I've had some training with 'real blades', but my focus hasn't exactly been on a normal sword.
tacosgay: (oh you mean barry???)

Uh, kind of? I mean... yeah, I can use a sword, but it's not exactly a specialty of mine or anything. What the hell are you up to over there, huh?
anti_nonsense: (how unexpected!)

[personal profile] anti_nonsense 2017-08-18 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? I thought you were...

[...already pretty good at it, because she's mixing this Marinette up with the other one. She has to remind herself that this is technically a different person, even if they're similar.]

...Never mind. So those few weeks inspired you to pick it up, or something?
tacosgay: (grin)

Yeah, okay, that's fair enough. Well, I may not be a swordplay master or anything, but if you ever wanna give magic a shot, hit me up, maybe I can give you some sage advice.

[Depending how bad it could be, it probably wouldn't matter if she forgave herself or not. He doesn't say that, though.]

If that's the case, I would be willing to teach you to the best of my ability. I have never had a tutor before, but it is largely about memorizing movement and strength.

[A pause.] I assume if there is a training course there is training equipment...?

My blade isn't a bar of sharpened metal, so a lot of things have to be different.

I don't but I guarantee I can fake it well enough to help you learn for real!

I presume that is something handled by the Nightrider or Warden, so if I do not see any by the area I will ask one of them.

Otherwise, there is enough forest to find a couple very big sticks. [Whatever works, honestly.] Do you have any combat experience as it is? Even a tendency to find yourself in scuffles.

[Sometimes you have to improvise. A lot.

A pause while he considers that.]
If they did not exist, then I will say that is a 'no'. No matter! It would be best to start with basic form and strength building, anyway.

[Syrlya really only knows how to do one of those things.]

[personal profile] tacosgay 2017-08-22 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah, that's how I got into it. I mean, it's not easy, it's fuckin' magic, but you can definitely learn some cantrips, at least, if you want to.
tacosgay: (yeahhh no uh)

[personal profile] tacosgay 2017-08-22 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
It's, uhhh... it's kinda hard to explain, if you've never tried it. You've got to be able to kind of... feel it out, and focus to kind of shape it how you need, you know?
