Well... now that the draft is over, I think it's a good time to do this. Because of all the fighting we have do while we're here, either by choice or by force, it's a good idea to have some understanding of combat in case of an emergency. From what I heard about this last battle, even the people who took refuge weren't able to stay out of the fight

Major appreciation on the shout out, Suki.

[ she has only mad love for you and your promotion of warrior girl groups. it's a tough gig -- turning teenage girls into fighters. she can only respect someone else who does this same job. ]

[sokkafangirl]

Well, you deserve it! The fighting school has been around a lot longer than me.

[slaying]

Yeah, but it's pretty casual at best. We're like match-makers, but for trainers and students. Your operation, though? [ a low whistle. ] Good luck.

[sokkafangirl]

I'm pretty sure I'll need it. I'm hoping to at least get a few people interested. Even just thinking about it would be enough.

[Sokka had said that Suki was the better teacher. Maybe she should consider it. ...But while she is thinking about it:]

...So, do you really teach how to fight with fans, or was that just for that week?

[sokkafangirl]

I do, yes. You'd be amazed at how versatile a combat fan can be. [Multi-purpose! And hey, she can gloat that her warriors took down the Avatar. Way back when, anyway.]

[xelhes]

I would be. [...That was probably a bit insulting, whoops. Um. Time to backtrack.] I mean, I just haven't heard of -- I'm not really very --

Sokka said you're a good teacher. [Yeah, she's just going to abandon that attempt before she sticks her foot too far into her mouth.]

[sokkafangirl]

[It's okay, Fenimore. This is awkward, she understands.]

I do my best- he'd know better about me as teacher than I would. But I taught him the basics.

[cutefiancee]

I'm a martial artist but I wouldn't mind being part of the group.

[sokkafangirl]

Sounds great! I was hoping to get a few experienced girls involved. What's your name?

[cutefiancee]

Ukyo Kuonji, the best okonomiyaki chef in the world!

[Proud of her skills? You bet!]

[sokkafangirl]

...Okonomiyaki? [Suki is confused. Is that... somehow relevant to her combat skills? Because what.]

[realityanchor]

[Sh'yeah. Marica knows well that the girls can dish it out just as well as the boys with the right training.]

Is this a hand-to-hand kind of style?

[sokkafangirl]

It is, and more than that! We use hand-to-hand, combat fans, and katanas, mostly. I like to think that the best way to survive is to be prepared for anything.

[realityanchor]

Fans too, huh? I admit that I'm not the strongest in those areas, but maybe I'll come check it out.

[sokkafangirl]

Feel free. I'll be working in the battle dome this afternoon, so if you want a demonstration, I can show you.

[This is hard and part of her isn't convinced but... She has been thinking this for a while already, hasn't she? Without Ciel here she can't keep just playing princess... No, even if he was she shouldn't play princess so much, even if it meant him seeing her uncute form, this place wasn't a vacation resort after all and she's finally starting to realize it completely.]

I... I have experience with fencing, would that be acceptable?

[Voice]

[sokkafangirl]

I know more about katanas, but I think any sword would mesh pretty well with the Kyoshi style. That'd be fine!

[Voice]

[cheerhimup]

I have never used katanas, but I use rapiers. Uhm... Is there a test or something we have to pass?

[Voice]

[sokkafangirl]

No, no test! I'm keeping the membership open to any girl who wants to try. I can't expect everyone to know how to fight right from the start, after all.
