Let's Train in 100 Times Gravity
Who: Anyone who wants to come by! Tag in, thread with Yuka, thread with each other, whatever you want.
What: Combat training/practice.
When: Sunset, each night for a week minimum.
Where: East end of Islet 1.
Warnings: Possible blood if things get out of hand, implied 80s training montage songs
Yuka chose this location because the ground was level, there was enough space for people to move around, and nobody was really using it for anything else. No wild beasts, no fish people to disturb, no strange psychological effects... the ideal place for people to gather for an hour or two and get some good-natured fighting in. The snow on the ground wasn't ideal, she supposed, but that stuff was everywhere, so they'd just have to make do. It'd probably be snowing during the invasion, anyway.
Each evening, as the sun inched towards the horizon, Yuka set her other tasks aside to come out and wait. Jug of wassail sitting at the edge of the space, bundled in warm clothes and scarves, Yuka paced, wondering if this was really going to be worth the time. Are there people willing to spend that much time to train others when there's so much else that needs doing? Can someone even learn enough to make a difference in this little time? For that matter, are these shadow monsters something you can even fight with your fists? If nothing else, it would be good to do some physical activity in just to get her mind to stop going in circles.
For those who arrived early, there would be less to do, but even just talking through what different fighting skills people had would be useful for later on. Once more people arrived, those who use similar weapons could work together, and those with more combat experience could work with those with less. Or, people who know each other or are curious about each other's abilities could seek each other out for a sparring match.
So: Fight, teach, learn, take breaks, drink, chat. Bring your own wassail if you can - Yuka's can only stretch so far.

ota!
Last time she was in a proper fight, she'd still been in her fake body at the Tower. Her fake, two-and-a-half-years-older body. Would muscle memory even carry over? Not to mention she still isn't sure how this place has limited her powers, though she's sure it has. Better to find out now, than in an actual fight.
She's one of the earlier people to arrive, and the later people to leave. Her weapons of choice? Her Keyblade, her magic, and the hand-to-hand combat that Reno has taught her. She's willing and able to talk about and try to share what she's learned. But she's about as anxious about being a teacher as she is about being a leader.]
no subject
Xion was keep guard back at Camp Solheim, right? So it makes sense that she'd be a fighter.]
Xion! Thanks for coming.
What kind of fighting are you good at? I'm trying to keep track of who can do what in case someone wants to practice specific skills later.
no subject
[She summons her Keyblade, planting it "point" down in the ground.]
This is what I'm most used to. It's called a Keyblade, but... it works most like a sword, so it'll probably be easiest to think of it like that. I know some offensive magic too, and my dad taught me how to fight hand-to-hand.
no subject
It doesn't look like it has much of a blade...
I don't know how to use anything like that, and my magic is no good one-on-one, so I guess all we have in common is the hand-to-hand fighting. Sorry if this is a weird question, but are you stronger than an ordinary human?
no subject
[There were ways in which a Keyblade wielder tended to be... able to do more than just an ordinary person. Augmenting their innate abilities with magic, probably.
That being said.]
It still may be worth it to try? At least after we've warmed up a bit. Our enemies probably aren't going to be a match for our specialties.
[Goodness knew both the Heartless and the Tower monsters weren't.]
no subject
Honestly, I barely have any experience fighting other people. I've only really ever fought against monsters...
[With one exception, but she'd prefer not to talk about that.]
no subject
So instead she smiles, a bit wistfully.]
Well, it was... kind of part of my job, back where I came from. And I learned plenty at the Tower too, so... I can try to help teach you some of the things I know.
[The smile turns into a thoughtful frown.]
It's going to be tricky, because we don't know what these monsters will all be capable of. So we have to be ready for anything... but that's one of the harder things to be ready for.

[That gasp of amazement comes when Xion summons her Keyblade. It's the most amazing sword he's ever seen... and there's something oddly familiar about it.]
What kind of sword is that?
no subject
It's called a Keyblade.
no subject
no subject
[Xion gives it a few experimental swings to sort of show it off, getting used to the feel of it again.]
no subject
no subject
It's not a thing to go handing out to people lightly. She hugs it to her chest, clearly a bit uncomfortable.]
I... I'm not sure. It's kind of... connected to me.
no subject
Okay! If you don't want to, you don't have to. I just like seeing different kinds of blades, is all. My world just has the one.
grabs you
Care for one more?
[HEY LET'S DO THIS against an opponent whose style you sort of know? sort of?]
no subject
I guess not. Sword practice?
[Or Keyblade in her case, though it pretty much amounts to the same thing.]
no subject
So here, indeed, is him drawing his sword and settling into a familiar stance. After a moment, he gives her a small smile.]
You have the advantage of knowledge, so - you first.
no subject
My body also kind of... went back in time two years, when I got here. So just don't assume I have all the advantages.
[Fair warning, before she darts forward to strike with her Keyblade, wielding it two-handed, for now.]
no subject
And then they're at it, her blunt weapon against the edge of his sword, sending off a few sparks. He grins.]
Don't hold back.
