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 ( Read more... )

Hey, I believe you can be both a lover and a fighter.

But, uh. Count me in.

You can! I love throwing punches and getting some loving, but some are either/or. I'M JUST SAYING, I AM NOT JUDGING ANYONE FOR THEIR PREFERENCE AND EVERYONE'S INVITED.

Awesomesauce. What's your area of expertise, Mr. Dean Winchester?

I don't like to limit myself.

I'm good with guns and knives and all that kind of shit. Not too shabby with hand-to-hand combat, either.

It's no fun when you do.

Even better! Unless someone's got a problem with it, the first session's gonna be this weekend. The sooner, the better.

Gotta have people learn how to kick these fothermockers in the crotch.

Hey Phoebe! :)

I'd like to sign up.

After recent events... well. I don't like to fight. But.

I need to learn.

Hiya Cassie!

Signing you up now.

Yeah, I know. But it is necessary. :(

We'll teach you the best we can! Pinky promise.

I can help. Just let me know where to be & when, I'll be there.

Help is good. Does this weekend work for you?

And are you okies?

monsterinstinct July 29 2010, 23:00:05 UTC
Yeah! I'm not busy or anything.

And I guess so. I was fighting in a war back home that was almost kinda like this, only a lot bigger & prolly not as violent (from what I remember). But it's like these people feel like they need to make a point & draw attention to themselves by being so horrible, and that wasn't how it was back home because everyone knew what was going on.

Anyway, I can summon animals. Maybe we can trample them with some rhinos or something? :P

Yay! This weekend it is.

Yeah, there's always a war going on here, in some way or another. The CLF's been around for a while, but I feel like what happened recently was waaay different from their usual MO. Not that their kind of horribleness and hate makes sense either way, but who knows.

Dude, wouldn't that be amazing? I've seen what you can do and it's awesome stuff. A rhino or bulls! They'd deserve all the bulls charging toward them. :P

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]

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]]

I am a skilled combatant and I am not easy to kill. I'm not sure what kind of assistance you will need in this ... army ... but I have been a soldier my whole life.

thehighestwing July 29 2010, 23:29:55 UTC
We need all kinds of assistance, sir! A lot of people don't know the basics of self-defense, and if you're a soldier you can help us teach others how to fight if you're up for it!
