[ Mandorallen is dressed in plainclothes, but he's holding his broadsword in view of the camera, stepped back a bit so that most of his body is in frame. ]

The recent calamity that hath befallen this place was a mortally dangerous one, as we all are keenly aware. And methinks it will not be the last -- it doth go without saying that there is something decidedly strange about this place, and none of us could pretend to understand its ways or those of the strange people who reside here. But one thing hath become clear: this place, friendly and idyllic though it may often be, can pose great danger to us. And not all unfortunate souls here are well-equipped to defend themselves.

So, fellow foreigners, I have a proposition for thee. I am well skilled in the arts of war; any man or woman who doth wish to receive instruction so that they may better defend themselves, and live to serve or fight another day, should do so as to contact me. I can offer lessons in swordplay and, though it is not my forté, hand-to-hand fighting. These lessons will come free of charge to those who might seek to learn, for I am loathe to rob thee of money for something so important.

[Alcuin is very pleased with this idea.] I had some lessons in the art of the sword before my arrival, messire, but I had not thought to be able to continue them here. I would gladly learn from you.

You can count me in that number, Mandy. [BECAUSE SERIOUSLY, ZOMBIES.]

[Somewhere in the background My Heart Will Go On can be heard playing. Percy is doing his best to pretend like it's not there]

Hey, uh - I don't need lessons, but I could use some practice? Sparring on your own can only go so far. [For some reason, he's got a ball point pen in his hands.]

[superoverachiever]

Me! [Ava's excited, noticeable even through her mask.] What kind of training?

[Well... one never knows when he'll find himself without sunlight again, right? And he's trained a lot hand-to-hand, but swords seemed a little too... deadly to him, like most weapons so he never really bothered. It's not like he has anything better to do, is there?

He pushes his glasses up and smiles a bit at the camera] I'd- I'd like to sign up for those lessons. The swordplay ones, I mean- as long as you don't mind me being a beginner?

[He really only has one thing to say to this.]

Doth?

And what discipline, might this instruction be based in?

[littlecousin]

Oh gosh, I totally forgot I was going to do this!

[Actually, the player got swamped.]

I've got a bunch of training swords in one of my closets. You can have them if you want. Or I could give you a hand. I'm good with a sword.

I've been attempting to learn how to use a sword properly since arriving, given a short supply of my usual weapon of choice. A little extra practice or lessons might not hurt.
