[He thought a good night’s sleep would cure him from this weariness, but when he woke up in the room he remembered seeing in his dream well that was more than enough information to let him know this was real. It’s not the giant turtle that gets to him or even this sector with canals and fountains. No, it all reminds him of home. What gets him is him being drafted into some unknown war by some noble. That’s unreal. Maybe if he were a knight, it’d be different, but he discarded that idea some time ago.

Playing with the console he was taught how to use, he figured he may as well see if he can really transmit a message. If he was fooled, well, it’ll make him look like an idiot to anyone within an earshot of him. If he wasn’t, then this would be a good way to find some useful information.]

So, we’ve been brought here to fight a war, right? I’m sure that’s a question you’ve all heard lots of time from newbies like me. I get that, really, but shouldn’t I get some say in whether I want to fight? [His voice sounds weary, still tired from all this despite getting sleep. More or less finding displeasure in this situation.] Whatever, I’m stuck here, aren’t I? May as well do what I can. [Not that he sounds enthusiastic about this.]

Is there some sort of training facility around? I mean, if they want us to fight, we gotta keep up with our skills, right? If not, I’d love to have a sparring partner or two. [He grins at this point, excited at the thought of fighting otherworldy people. Are they strong? Can they actually put a scratch on him? If they can kick his ass then that’s even better. It’ll help Yuri get stronger.]

Also, I was told I needed to ‘find a job’. [He almost scoffs at this statement. The only jobs he’s had are guild jobs. Oh, and being a knight, but that didn’t go well.] I’m pretty handy with a sword and a spatula, so there’s my resume. [Cooking is even better because that gets him close to sweets to satiate his sweet tooth. He’d call that pretty even pay.]

Well, hope this went through. If not, then I probably made myself sound like an idiot trying. [He gives a lopsided grin, chuckling at the end as he’s trying to figure out how to send this and turn it off. After a few seconds of fumbling, he finally gets it.]

[ It probably goes without saying that the spatula comment is in reference to cooking, but in this place, making assumptions can be dangerous. ]

Does handy with a spatula refer to cooking where you're from? Or is it some kind weapons... thing?

That sounds like a solid enough resume. Cooking and fighting....do you really need anything else?

[Sarcastic? You bet he is. More of the joking variety really.]

No training facilities around here, but I'm just one of the new guys too. Take that for what you will. I'll spar with you sometime though. Don't want to get rusty.

You don't need to know how to fight to be useful here in this... war. Personally, I haven't seen much of the war part anyway, but that's probably just me.

Don't see it as being forced to fight a war. Try thinking of it as a vacation that you had no choice in and could possibly get you killed instead.

[soulstoker]

A sparring partner, huh? Well, you can count me in! It's been a bit of a while since I got in some decent exercise. [Excited for a bit of fighting as usual... But hey at least she's grown out of "surprise sparring".]

[The voice is an old man's, rough and grinning.] What, don't people make friends through kidnapping where you come from? It's all the rage back home; nothing says 'I want you to get emotionally invested in my personal problems' like going after people while they sleep. Really shows your dedication to your cause.

And, you know, that you have no respect for others havin' their own shit to deal with, but hey. Can't win 'em all!

[Good-naturedly,]

I see you've already spoken with Stark, so there goes my job offer. But as to a training facility - if you speak with Avatar Korra, she should be able to direct you to a dojo. She's been after me to go for weeks, but I'm not particularly interested in the martial disciplines.

[A bit of a shrug, there. Of course it's the Biggest Damn Lie Ever, but it's all part of his charm.]
