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.

I don't... think so? [She hesitates.] I don't have like... super strength or anything.

[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.]

[And now she... feels a bit like a jerk, honestly. Not everybody came from her kind of background, or environment. ... she needed to remember that, more.

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.
