training ♔ monday morning

[nepotism]

WHO || Fredrick Jr., Luthir, Dovan, entirely open
WHAT || Weapons training
WHERE || Knights HQ, Training Room / Armory / Firing Range / Gym, Dragon's Hide wing, 2nd floor
WHEN || Monday, March 11th from 10am onwards
HOW || Actionspam

It's that time again. New squires would have heard the word come 'round that there would be open weapons orientation this Monday - which is also open to anyone who just wants to come spar with the newbies as well. As before, at the top of the main staircase is the entrance to an incredibly spacious room, that has gym and weight training equipment on the wall near the door, and then lots of old school training dummies and more at the far end. A glass door enters into a firing range, and another pair of large doors on the farthest wall lead to the armory.

Sir Luthir stands off to one side, all impassive elf, armored in his light, beautifully worked metal, and carrying a sword. Red-headed Sir Ironsides hefts an axe over his shoulder and offers a boisterous greeting to those approaching, and Fred helps round people up to the middle of the room.

Some of the squires' mentor Knights will have accompanied them - others will have left them to their own devices. Everyone's welcome to tag into threads or make their own!

Still don't like the things me-self, but I can see the benefits, I suppose. Plenty o' time for ye to practice up, at least.

[notaroundme]

I'm more comfortable with something like this usually, too.

[Because vampires. Guns didn't work on them, unless you had wooden bullets, and those weren't exactly a common thing.]

Would you recommend something small for close range too? Just in case?

[ironsides]

Well, depends on how small yer talkin'. Knives are good for th' element of surprise, but if ye don't know how to make 'em deadly, they're likely to get you killed at that range.

Anythin' bigger's a wee bit more difficult t'hide, but a short sword's easiest, if ye wear a long coat. [ he scans the racks and pulls out this one ] What about her? She's a beaut.

[notaroundme]

[She takes a look at it, finding it not as intimidating as the majority of the other bladed weapons.]

I think I might be able to handle that. With practice, of course.

[ironsides]

Plenty of time for that! Go ahead and give it a swing at the dummy, if ye want!
