touchscreens | 001 ⚔ The first rule of Fight Club is INVITE EVERYONE

--ing working right yet? Gawds.

[Severa peers one eye far too close to the terminal camera before pulling away and- upon realizing that it's recording- makes a slight, frustrated noise before huffing out a 'finally!' and crossing her arms.]

Okay look, I'm not going to waste any time. Not everybody here is the touchy-feely type and frankly, it's a little obnoxious to try and make us be anyway. But a lot of us here don't mind a fight, right? And some kinds of fighting require a lot of touching- usually between fists and faces but hey. Occupational hazard, right?

[She shrugs, gnawing on her lip slightly. She's going to continue of course, but part of her is still afraid that her suggestion will seem stupid. But it's the best she's got and better to get out with it than just think it to death.]

So why not keep ourselves sharp and fill up on the touching quota by having a big sparring practice in the mornings or something? It's sure more productive than complaining about how you don't want to hug anyone, and it's good for getting frustration out.

Any takers?

I would be glad to help. Where would you like to meet beforehand?

[If anything is going to happen, here or at home, people need to work together. Even if she personally fails, if there's someone there to help her get to her feet, maybe things can change...]

Then I will look forward to sparring with you, that we might hone our skills and learn from each other.

Outside if building two works for me.

[Severa is more looking for a distraction than anything else at this point, though the fact that doing this might help keep her sharp enough to fight in a war when she gets home is definitely a bonus.]

Yeah, me too I guess.

Alright, I will meet you there. With the both of us, we should be able to find somewhere suitable before long.

[Freya can reach some pretty good vantage points, after all. It's not like Severa knows about the whole Dragon Knight jumping 20 feet in the air deal just yet, but. She'll find out soon enough.]

Great. I'll head out now, in that case.

[Severa will be impressed- even taguel and manaketes have to transform to do anything like that. Someone who just does it will be impressive.]

[Freya soon stands outside the second building, wearing her usual red jacket. She's thankful the city doesn't appear to be dangerous enough to require a weapon, but leaving her lance behind still makes her feel something is missing. She'd like to carry it around, but at the same time, she's noticed it makes some of the natives uncomfortable, so she typically keeps it in her apartment, as she has today.]

[Unlike Freya, Severa is less considerate about how the sword strapped along her hips makes the natives feel. So long as she's not sure how much she trusts the place, she's never leaving her assigned apartment without her weapon and her items from home. She steps out of the building and spots Freya almost immediately-- it's hard not to when she's nearly six feet tall and wearing bright red. But Severa's never been one to let her intimidation show outright, so she raises a hand in greeting and makes her way over with a quick, brisk stride.]

Hey. Any idea which direction we should head in first?

[Freya bows her head in greeting.] Hello.

I thought we might search the southern part of the second district first. There are not typically many people walking about, and it is closer to the hospital, in case anyone is injured by accident.

[She wasn't about to hesitate in her sparring, but it was always good to be cautious. It wouldn't help them to try to train only to end up hurt and be stuck in bed healing for the next week.]
