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!]]

Eight nodded. The principle was sound, and she got that far. Only...

"This is what we are usually trained, yes." But... "The problem is the difference is too severe. It is like trying to direct..." What's big and heavy thing that this man would be able to understand...?

"A car. Do you know what those are?"

[rieper]

"Yes."

They were definitely something in his world and he got the analogy fine with the usage. He was silent for a thoughtful moment.

It seemed a little bit of an extreme but then he didn't have plasma as a body structure. Sure, he was made mostly of water but that water was supported by a nice, strong bone frame and lean muscles kept in peak form. She just seemed to be a gelatin all throughout that somehow kept the shape of a body. However that worked.

"I can show you more techniques, perhaps ones you haven't learned before. You may already know some if you've been trained in many forms of martial arts. But I suggest supplementing them with a tool then. It doesn't take much to break a bone. A simple piece of wood will suffice. I'll show you techniques for it." They had plenty of wood on board the train, it wouldn't be hard to make a baton for her to use. If it were lost then she would have to revert back to the unarmed techniques he would show her. Hopefully, a little of both 'worlds' would work effectively.

[consider8]

"Something can do that?" Well, it made sense, in hind sight. It's not as though she was unfamiliar with the use of weapons, merely it's purpose and application. In her world, the objective as to cause so much foreign liquid into the body's of the opponent's that they explode. The principle of causing bodily harm to an opponent's internal structure directly was...

...huh...

"What sort of tool did you have in mind? A..." Hmn... "...ballistic?"

[rieper]

"It you prefer," he replied. A gun most definitely would foil just about any enemy's efforts when applied right.

"A gun will stop most enemies in their tracks if you hit them. A baton will break bones or daze opponents when applied properly. A knife will cause severe damage if used correctly as well."

Honestly, anything was an efficient weapon as far as 47 was concerned. Even a piece of string could be used to choke someone to death.

[consider8]

"That is what I usually use. My usual method uses an ink-based projectile that uses my own stored ink as ammunition." She sighed. "Unfortunately the only weapon I found that works is a train slosher, and I don't have a ink tank to store ink."

"Perhaps I should consider a baton or a knife." For now, so that she isn't completely unarmed if she ever needed it.

[rieper]

47's brow furrowed ever so slightly at the information she told him. How the projectile weapon from her world worked... it seemed strange to him. But he wouldn't question it. It probably fit with the rest of her somehow. Maybe he would ask how that worked as a weapon later.

"Either would be relatively easy to procure here. The bamboo supplies could be crafted into such weapons with little effort."
