[Locked to Wanderers and allies]

Hi guys! A while back we'd been talking about building an army of sorts. Teaming up to help each other in different ways. Those who were experts at fighting could train others to prepare them for combat, or just self-defense if you're more a lover than a fighter

I am absolutely interested. Just let me know where and when.

I can teach people some basic alchemy if they want to learn how to make healing elixirs, potions for strength... I can think of lots of simple things like that that would be useful. It would... take a while for people to learn the principles, and I don't know that everyone can do it, but if anyone is interested in magic, then even picking up basic recipes like that would get us somewhere.

I'm not a physical fighter, but... there was other magic that I used to be able to use, that could have helped. But I need a Mana to partner with, for that. They're like elemental beings. If you know where I could find one who was willing to pact with me, I'd be able to do a few more things.

I'm willing to learn anything you think could be useful. I don't want to hurt people, but... other than that.

...Do we officially have a name?

[OOC: Iris, like any GUST character worth her (sophic) salt, is interested in the names of things. :P]

Hi again! :) I feel like the sooner the better. If everyone's okay with this weekend it could start this weekend. I mean, I'd have to run around to get permission for rooms and weights and other stuff we'd need but I can do that between today and tomorrow.

Oh, wow! That would be totally awesome. You can do that? I'd be interested in that for sure.

There are supernatural humans called Elementals. They have power over one of the elements, and because of the Rift's radiation the elements some of them have control over just keep originating! Hopefully one of them would be up to the task. :)

We don't want to hurt other people, either. This is more to be prepared to defend yourself. If you're under attack, you can't really just let someone keep striking, you know? Self-defense is important, but again, it's your choice!

...We don't! We totes should. Any ideas? We need something awesome.

[[OOC: XD Awesome! Because Harry and Hermione are here, Phoebe can't outwardly call it Dumbledore's Army. SHE IS DYING TOO, though. :P]]

This weekend is good for me. I'm not... really doing anything else, right now, and even if I were, this would be more important.

I'd be happy to teach you! Oh, and, just to note... I'm also willing to provide elixirs to anyone who needs them. It doesn't matter if they're fighting or not, I can help anyone out if they're hurt. I'm actually going to put a sign out on my door saying that, so... if anyone needs me, they can come by.

And wonderful! If there are Mana here, or someone similar, then... then there's a lot I can do, if they're willing.

You are right, about self-defence. I used to be a Raider... someone who went on sort of odd-job missions and tracked down things for people. I had to be able to handle myself a little, but it's not my strength. I could do with brushing up a little, maybe.

Hm... the Guardians of Order comes to mind, maybe?

[OOC: ...th-that is such a shame. IT WOULD BE EPIC. But yeah, characters in her series have LONG DEBATES over what things should be named. XD]

[thehighestwing]

That's what I'm thinking. We'd been planning on building this army for a while, but there was a tornado and before that, a lot of Rift mucking so we never got the chance. With this last event we just can't keep holding it off.

That's a really good idea and it's so awesome you can do that. The elixirs could be carried around in little bottles, maybe around people's necks, right? Something to always keep in reach just in case they're needed. I'd also help make them, if there's anyway I can help, even if it's just helping you get the ingredients you'd need.

I'll add that to the entry, asking specifically for elementals!

It could just be the basics of self-defense. I was trained for it and for a little more, and I'd also be very happy to teach you.

I really love that name! Once we all get together we can throw around ideas and see what everyone likes best?

[[ooc: IT WOULD BE. She has been so tempted. XD Baww, Iris, all my characters so far (Rafe and Phoebe) love her so. I'm curious about her series now! <3]]

[sophicsulphur]

I agree. I don't know what it was like before, but when I saw those images... that isn't something we can just stand by and let happen, at all. I was almost about to just go and try and find them, myself... I'm so glad everyone is gathering together. I'm so glad we have this strength.

Yes, that's right, you can just keep them in bottles, in a bag or on your belt or around your neck or anywhere. They're small and light, you only need a little for a wound. And yes, I could definitely use help in getting ingredients. But I'll try to teach you everything else too!

Thank you! That's going to be really useful. And thank you again, for the offer of teaching. I guess we can teach each other our strengths, here.

And that sounds good! I'm excited to see what anyone else comes up with, hee.

[OOC: ...d'aww, and she loves all your peeps so much too! They have been SO NICE to her. <3 <3]

[thehighestwing]

I know a lot of people wanted to do that but as good as it is to want to do something, we also need to be smart about it, you know? TRUST ME, a while back I'd have been one of the first going off on my own just because I was so angry. But if we want to win, we have to be smarter than them!

Yay! Okay, you can make me a list of everything that you'd need and I'd start on finding all the stuff right away.

We can! That's also the point of this army thing. It's like being brothers in arms. We use all our strengths together, and we'll totes be unbeatable.

Sounds like a plan! :D

[sophicsulphur]

You're right. And I realised that... even back when I was trying to do so much to help my world, before, I wasn't alone. I had people by my side with different skills who complemented me. If I die again, then... it's just one less person around to help out, so I want to be smart.

Okay! Believe it or not, the actual type of herb isn't too important as long as I can get it fresh. It's the inherent life force in the plant that matters more. I was using some green herbs I found in the kitchen, actually, I don't know what they're called, but I'll need more than they have there. I'll also need alcohol, grape wine if you can.

I have faith in this. Thank you, so much, for helping to make this possible.
