[Phone - Not at all filtered; he just figured out how this phone thing worked recently]

I hope I'm using this right...

Hello, my name is Arslan, and I was wondering, is anyone here good with blades? Mostly, knives and daggers?

Since I don't have my sword, all I can use is what I find it this place, but I'm still learning and can only do so much on my ( Read more... )

So you wish to learn how to use a sword? You have come to the right person.

arslansenki January 3 2011, 04:54:01 UTC

[Oh great, that guy... Arslan will try to keep any 'oh god why you' out of his tone]

Dagger or knife, whichever you want to call it. My sword was taken away when I arrived.

kinpika January 3 2011, 04:55:39 UTC

Use a stick.

arslansenki January 3 2011, 04:59:13 UTC

What good will it do me when I only have knives available here at the present time?

I can use a sword, but not really well enough to teach.

But if you ever want to learn the bow, I'd be happy to help.

arslansenki January 3 2011, 08:19:15 UTC

I see. You're an archer, then?

sceptered_isle January 4 2011, 06:06:01 UTC

Yes. I'm much better with that than with a blade. And a bow is easier to get anyway.

arslansenki January 4 2011, 06:37:39 UTC

Maybe. I have always been trained with a blade though.

I won't teach.

But I will spar.

arslansenki January 3 2011, 23:00:44 UTC

Even that would be helpful. Training by oneself is only so effective.

diaf_askeladd January 3 2011, 23:14:55 UTC

Yeah. Not enough people here know how to use a blade.

Let me know when you want to fight.

arslansenki January 3 2011, 23:18:44 UTC

It seems like it.

At present, I only have a knife I took from the kitchen, but I'll be looking into getting a sword. Whenever you have time is good, but I have to attend this school thing.

....I don't pretend to be good enough to teach, and I also lack my blade, but I will do what I can to help, sir Arslan. This place could always use more experienced warriors. My name is Jeanne d'Arc; would you like to meet somewhere?

arslansenki January 4 2011, 01:40:39 UTC

Any help is appreciated. I would like to meet if you do not feel it would be troublesome to do so, Miss Jeanne.

theguided January 5 2011, 03:43:15 UTC

There's no need to call me "miss", good sir. Just Jeanne. Will your house be all right, to start? Better that than wandering about in the park or some such until we find each other....

arslansenki January 5 2011, 04:24:19 UTC

That should be okay.

[There's a short pause]

Though I should warn you about my... Well, the guy who's been assigned as my Father. He's Death. As in the old legend versions, full skeleton and all.

[Better to warn her than Bill to answer the door and scare her, especially as he has no idea if Jeanne's met Death at all.]
