Fight Club Open Log! (Catch-All For the Month of Imagination)

[rieper]

Who: Open to anyone! Make your own toplevel style~
Where: Training gym
When: Throughout the month of Imagination
What: Training in the gym. Unofficially known as "Fight Club". 47 absolutely does not call it that. But I do!
Warnings: It's a Fight Club! Sorta. Expect (hopefully friendly) violence, maybe some cursing, and whatever else. Free feel to add cw in your toplevels if needed.

Early in the month of Imagination, 47 makes an announcement on the ICP.

From: Training Gym
To: All Carriages

[It's the bald man in a suit again and if you've guessed what he's going to say before he starts talking you've been on the train for far too long like the rest of them.]

Another mission should be coming within the week. Anyone unprepared should consider the efforts ongoing in the training gym to learn new skills for survival, combat, and defensive measures. Those who have such skills already are welcome to participate in sparring and exercise sessions as well if they have not already done so within the group setting. [Or come help train.]

There are multiple people to chose from for training or sparring needs. Simply make your way to the training gym whenever possible. My name is Tobias Rieper--you'll find me there most days and if you need help with anything I'm available.

[That's all he has to say this time. Short, sweet, to the point. The end. He'll be in the training gym for Q&A for the rest of the day and probably most of the week or until the next mission comes (at least). This is typical for him anyway.]

Make toplevels to your heart's content and tag around to each other freely. Whether your character is offering to teach or wanders in looking for someone to get them involved (or just to watch), this is a post for you! You may use this for any sort of open or even private threads if you so wish.

This log is for anyone who wants to participate in exercising, training, sparring, and teaching lessons. Some of the "classes" also involve things like yoga, meditation, and easier self defense mechanisms for anyone to learn. Magic users also use the facilities to practice their spells! Everyone get use to that crazy lightning storm going off around them as they fight the big bad monster of a training dummy! It's going to happen at some point out in the field, guaranteed!

Basically, if you want to learn new skills that could be useful on missions, come take a peek!

For a basic set-up consider this: the new training gym has all sorts of useful equipment for physical fitness such as mats, soft hand held pads for training with, training dummies, some balancing beams and even a springboard. There are large blocks for making obstacle courses or creating a unique battlefield, and two climbing apparatus next to the wall. Many people are found here daily training, maintaining physical fitness, and teaching others how to handle combat in one fashion or another. Others come and go more sporadically but all are welcome and everyone (typically) shares everything with relative ease. Many of the usual suspects will help accommodate whoever asks for help. Generally, there is just a lot of activity and a busy but fluid schedule around all the equipment and space provided.

[[ooc note: The typical Fight Club open log post has returned! Now condensed into one post with the ic announcement for convenience of yours truly. Here is the original ooc info post which may or may not one day get an update, and here is a list of training/trainers offered up. Feel free to continue to update either post with new character info! Or ask questions if you have 'em!]]

"I spent just over fifty years as a soldier," he agreed, "Many would call that a strength." His eyes were distant as his attention turned fully back to 47, and he took a moment to think about it before giving an answer. What did he need?

"Passing familiarity with otherworldly weapons would be a good start, but I wouldn't turn down learning skills with more utility." How useless, really. He smiled, acknowledging how little he was answering the man's questions. "If I could narrow it down, I would not need to seek advice!"

[rieper]

47 nodded in acknowledgement of the answer to his questions anyway. It was a broad scope but it was a place to start anyway. And 47 couldn't fault anyone for simply wanting a bit of knowledge in everything. He was a well-rounded jack-of-all-trades himself, frankly.

"I can teach you firearms, demolitions, and basic mechanics and electronics if we can find the materials to work with. Useful skills based on modern technologies from my own world and of similar ones to it." A beat of time. "If you're looking for other abilities, supernatural or magic, I'll point you to other trainers here for such skills."

[eyeslikeblood]

"Mechanics and electronics..." he repeated the words, thoughtful. "That would suit. Would you be willing to teach Taiki at the same time? He has more familiarity with your modern technologies, and learns quickly."

[rieper]

47's eyes roamed the carriage looking for the topic of discussion and stopped on Taiki if he were in the carriage. Then returned to Gyousou. "Yes. I can teach you both at the same time."
