[Xena looks very tired.]How do you people do it? Sleep in a place with so much noise? Never see the stars? Ugh, I haven't managed it hardly at all in the week since I got here. Here's to hoping I'll get used to the din soon. And this place - the MAC, was it? It's so closed in. Sleeping indoors is almost a foreign concept with all the travelling I' ( Read more... )

What the hell, when did I miss Xena?

You know me too?

I'm apparently very popular in other worlds. Lucky me.

[voice forever] stuckfingers May 18 2009, 15:51:28 UTC

Yeah, lucky you. You get to sleep in a real bed for once.

atoningforsin May 18 2009, 15:53:13 UTC

These real beds aren't as nice as you'd think. I can't sleep in them.

Too used to the road and outdoors, I suppose. But you already know that, I'm guessing.

You know my name. What's yours?

From my experience, swordplay is not in high demand here.

[Video forever] atoningforsin May 18 2009, 15:48:13 UTC

So I've noticed. Unfortunately.

Re: [Video back then!] spiderdefying May 18 2009, 15:50:36 UTC

What are sorts of things can you do?

atoningforsin May 18 2009, 15:56:40 UTC

[Pauses for a moment, studying him thoughtfully. Hmm.]

Swords, staves, daggers, axes, bows, pikes, spears, clubs, darts, and other weapons. I pick them up quickly.

Had to learn field surgery. I can embroider, dance, sing, cook, and other house-ly things also.

Maybe you could teach defense classes? People might need our help less if they can help themselves.

As for living in a noisy city... well, eventually you get used to it. You sort of learn to filter it out and focus on the stuff that matters. But maybe you could eventually get a house or some property in the suburban area or countryside, where you'd definitely be able to see the stars.

atoningforsin May 18 2009, 16:00:23 UTC

I think that I'd very much enjoy teaching defense classes, but I'd have to find a space to do it in and weapons to work with.

reformedrogue May 18 2009, 18:08:52 UTC

Some places might be hiring for defense teachers, but I'm not sure about the weapons. Maybe they'd also have their own weapons. Unarmed defense is also pretty popular.

atoningforsin May 18 2009, 18:12:19 UTC

I'm pretty good at that, too.

Thanks.

Shoulda' come out on the camping trip, chere. It was a nice break from all the hustle n' bustle goin' on here.

'sides, I'm sure there's a place that'd be a bit more homey for ya outside of the city.

[Video forever~] atoningforsin May 18 2009, 17:22:01 UTC

Camping...? I didn't know there was a camping trip, otherwise I would have asked to come along.

daragincajun May 18 2009, 22:30:58 UTC

Yeah, chere. A group of us all wanted to get outta' the local sing along for a few days. Mind you, if ya ever wanna go take a trip out in the mean ol' wilderness sometime, I would be happy to accompany ya.

atoningforsin May 18 2009, 22:50:55 UTC

I'll keep that in mind, thank you.

It looks like I'll be able to get some good workouts in soon. Hopefully that'll help me sleep.

Did you enjoy the camping?

Unfortunately, it's difficult to get living quarters further away from the noise of the city, at least without considerable funds. But as for acquiring those, well, maybe this will help.

[Have a list of suitable job vacancies marked on a map, including a few at self-defense places looking for teachers.]

[Video forever] She's gonna end up teachin ladies how to beat the shit outta would-be rapists! :D atoningforsin May 18 2009, 18:07:00 UTC

I'll just have to get used to it for now.

And thank you.
