Happy New Year, according to the calendar in use in Exsilium. May the next year bring glad tidings.

To anyone interested in learning basic self defense, I've spoken with Police Commissioner Sorenstam and will be starting classes through the station for any willing to attend. It's open to everyone, which means rubbing elbows with the exiles who live here, and provided cost free.

Classes will be running Mondays and Wednesdays at 0800, 1000, and 1600, starting the 21st.

[Sup roomie. This is like right up her alley.]

This is open to anyone?
Even if we're beginners?

Will you be looking for assistant instructors if the class has a lot of interest?

If you are, I know someone who can help you.

[encourage]

It's open to anyone, like I said, especially if you're beginners. I'll be starting from there and helping people improve at their own rates.

[encourage]

Have they taught before, or just practiced in different martial arts fields?

[oncearanger]

They've taught, and they have practical experience too. We come from a rough place.

[encourage]

Then you're welcome to direct them to attend any of the classes on the 21st and speak with me. I'd appreciate the assistance, as long as it's willing and they're flexible with scheduling.

[oncearanger]

Great! He's great, I promise. I hope your class goes well.

[encourage]

Does "he" have a name, or should I be on the watch for someone going by Oh Great One?

[oncearanger]

I bet he'd love to be called that.

But his name's Adam. Adam Park.

[encourage]

You're sure you're recommending him as an instructor?

I'll keep an ear out for anyone calling themselves Adam. Thanks.

[oncearanger]

It was a joke. I'm absolutely sure of it.

[encourage]

I'm taking your word on him! Planning to hang around yourself?

[oncearanger]

I don't see why not. My skills could use some improvement.

[encourage]

In that case, I look forward to seeing you there, too. You mentioned your world was a monster festival, week after week. Started training about the time you had to help with disaster control, or were you training from before that in preparpation?

[oncearanger]

After it started. No one knew the invasion was coming, there were no signs of it. The military didn't intervene either. It was mostly the vigilante heroes and some stray police helping at all the disaster scenes.

I thought I should train because the attacks could be anywhere at any time.

[not here] I HAD TO

[kungfublackfrog]

[Why is he getting a sudden chill?]

[voice]

[futurarex]

And is it these police that oversee the training?

This should be interesting.

I've done capoeira before, but it's been such a long time. Either way, I could definitely learn more self-defense!

[direhit]

Then I'm in!

I've never really done something like this before, but I've done some stunts in movies before. Dunno if that counts as relevant experience though.

How many attendees are you anticipating?

[encourage]

Anywhere at anytime leaves a lot up to guesswork. What got you to where you needed to be on time?

[voice forever]

[encourage]

Considering I'm working through the department, technically yes. If you mean will constables be standing watch over the proceedings, than I'm sorry if it disappoints you when I say no, they aren't.

( She's not sorry at all. )

[encourage]

Care to expound on that statement?

[encourage]

Capoeira is nice and high energy. I'm glad to work with you more one on one if you find the classes are going over what you already know, as a future note, and in the meanwhile I'm glad to have you show up to whenever works best for you.

Learning is a process we never stop going through. It's good exercise for the mind as well as the body.
