training ♔ friday 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 || Friday, March 17th 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 Friday - 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!

[ fred's a very normal looking guy, other than being pretty tall... and a 17+ spot check might notice that his dark eyes flash silver when the light hits them just right. ] Alright, so usual spiel. The armory's located through those back doors, and you can use your key card to get in there at anytime. Same for the firing range, through there. We've got almost anything you can imagine by way of arms or armor, and you can take what you want, and either claim it as your own or swap in and out for particular mission needs. Firearms are different: you've been issued an Excalibur, and it's yours to use up here on the range until one of us gives you the gold star to be field certified. Until then, don't go out packing on a mission.

This room is always open, and considering the Dragon's Hide is the biggest sect in the castle, there's almost always someone up here willing to spar or offer pointers. If you have any serious questions, you can go hunt down Dovan Ironsides, the section leader, in the Hide wing, which is down the back hall to the right when you get up the steps.

Accidents happen, even when we're all looking sharp, which I suggest you do since things can get pretty dicey up here when the pros are going at it, so the Med Center and Cleric wing are straight out across the hallway.

Questions?

[Alec doesn't like the sound of the arms spiel at all. Soon as Fred is done there's a short nod from him and his hand rests in the pocket closest to his gun out of habit.]

How do we get one of these gold stars.

[nepotism]

Easiest route comes if you already have some kind of government certified training. Show us the certificate and we can hand one over.

[fallencrest]

And.. if we don't have any government certified training, what would we do then?

[He hesitates to even ask because unlicensed guns are a bit risky to admit to, but he's certainly not going to try forgery with the knights. That's just asking for trouble.]

[nepotism]

Well, if you're familiar with guns already, you can demonstrate you know how to use one and answer some safety questions. If you don't know what you're doing, we'll give you some lessons and then put you through the tests.

[fallencrest]

I'm familiar.

[Very familiar.

At least it sounded like he wouldn't have to go to the government. That was a relief because the less he had to deal with them was probably for the better.]

And when or where should I go about doing something like that?

[nepotism]

Right now, if you're down for it.

[fallencrest]

I'm always down for it.

[There is gunpowder in this boy's blood.]

[nepotism]

Well, alright then. Why don't you show me how it's done?
