[April looks a lot more happier than she did the last time she made a post on the network, though instead she just seems very hesitant about something. And people may notice that she has a Bullfairy being held in her arms for some reason...]

Ah, um... I-I'm just wondering if anyone would be willing to give me combat lessons, m-mainly with sword fighting or just hand-to-hand combat. I promise I will pay you back in some way and... I, um, a-appreciate any help...

[She glances away for a moment, awkwardly clearing her throat, before she remembers something.]

O-oh, and Amalia, I'm still up for giving you those tech lessons if you still want them. And if anyone else would want tech lessons, I would be glad to help. Or, um, if you want any tech made, I can help with that too... Well, when the workshop is repaired.

[There's a slightly pause after that, almost as if she was gonna say something else, but she seems to change her mind.]

Tech lessons?
What kind of tech lessons exactly?
I would offer to help with combat, but I am afraid my expertise lies in polehammers, not swords. And as far as hand-to-hand goes, I have no formal training.
But if you ever need someone to practice against, I could help with that.
Once I fix my hammer, at least.

[technologic]

Either basic 'how things work', or I can do more advanced lessons centered around how specific programming works and how to build things and so on. It really depends on what you would want to learn.

And it's alright, and thank you. Though what's wrong with your hammer?

[grislytragedian]

I only dabble in programming from time to time myself, so I know some of the basics at least.
But it might not be a half bad idea to improve those skills somewhat.

It was broken into several pieces when I arrive. I can only guess that it's because it wouldn't fit into the trunk otherwise.
Fortunately, one piece of it is still usable as a sledgehammer as opposed to a polehammer.
Did you say there was a workshop here though? Is it just a tech workshop or would it have a forge?

[technologic]

Well, I would be happy to help with that if you want.

I think it might have a forge, though thanks to the attack of the giant sky whale, it's pretty much unusable right now. I've been trying to clean it up, but most of the equipment there is completely broken.

[grislytragedian]

I might have to take you up on that offer.

Isn't that just my luck?

[technologic]

Then I'll do my best to be a good teacher.

Hmm... What's your hammer made of, if you don't mind me asking?

[grislytragedian]

Some kind of metal. Iron maybe? Can't say I know a whole lot about that sort of thing so I really don't know for sure.
I just know that it's solid metal through and through, which is why it was a little disconcerting to find it in such a state.

[technologic]

Well, if it's metal, I should be able to help fix it, since one of my powers allows me to manipulate metal.

[grislytragedian]

Really?
You would be willing to do that for me?

[technologic]

Yeah, of course! I would be happy to help.

...i really hate it when DW doesn't post a comment and you don't notice for a few days :|

[grislytragedian]

But I don't even know your name or anything.
Don't misunderstand though, I really do appreciate it! I am just not sure how to repay you for something like that...

xC /punts DW

[technologic]

Whoops, sorry, my name is April.

And you don't need to repay me, I would be more than happy to help.

it's so rude.

[grislytragedian]

It's nice to meet you April, my name is John Lalonde.

But I do! One day I will make it up to you, somehow.

the rudest

[technologic]

It's nice to meet you too, John.

And it's fine, you don't have to. Being able to help is enough for me.

[grislytragedian]

Well I am still going to make an attempt.

[Sorry April, he is a stubborn butt of a kid. Someday when you least expect it, he will find a way to do something useful. He is determined.]

Where should I meet you?

[technologic]

Well, if you're sure.

And does floor 3 sound okay?

[grislytragedian]

Positive.

Floor three sounds fine. Though I realize I probably should have asked if now was even a good time for you. Sorry.
I just got a little excited.

[technologic]

It's fine, and we can meet up now, if you want.

[grislytragedian]

Alright then, floor three it is. I will be on my way in a minute.

[technologic]

Okay, I'll see you soon.

[And she'll be waiting at one of the tables on that floor and playing with the Bullfairy who is sitting on the table.]

[grislytragedian]

[It takes him a decent chunk of time since the trek from the dorms all the way down to the library isn't really a short one on foot. But eventually he walks into the library, a bag full of metal pieces in hand. One quick glance around the library and he's headed to the right table.]

[And then he reaches it and realizes that he has no idea how to restart the conversation. Oops.]

Nice er...bull...fairyyyy? No okay, I give up. What is that thing?

[Clearly we are dealing with a conversational master here.]

[technologic]

[April blinks over at him, before giving him a small smile while the Bullfairy stares up at him.]

A Bullfairy. I guess you could say I adopted him. [Then she looks down and nods her head towards the bag.] That the pieces of your hammer?

[grislytragedian]

[John briefly entertains a staring contest with the Bullfairy. He hadn't actually seen one before now, at least not so close that he realized what it was.]

[He snaps out of it once she addresses the bag.]

Huh wha-- oh! Yes. It is. [He empties the bag's contents onto the table with a thud.]

[technologic]

[She stands up from her seat and looks over the pieces, 'hmm'-ing to herself before nodding.]

Okay, this shouldn't take too long... [She places a hand over the pieces of the blade, her eyes starting to glow pale green as electrcity flickers from her hand and around the pieces. It isn't long until the pieces of metal start to move into the right places, and the metal soon starts to connect together as the electricity flares more brightly.]

[grislytragedian]

[John's eyes widen as he stares quietly. He's not sure what he was expecting but...this is kinda neat.]
