6th pokeball [mass mailbox notes + text]

[ghostytrainer]

[John isn't typically one for waking up early in the morning, but with as much as he needs to do today he needs as early a start as he can get. His first stop is the mail room, where he sets about putting the following note into the mailbox for every tower resident. Because this seems like a much safer option than the network.]

[Once all the letters have been delivered and breakfast devoured, he heads to the library to take care of TDL item number 2: finding a fighting mentor.]

somehow i get the feeling that this sort of thing isn't an uncommon request around here but whatever, i need some help.
i need to learn how to fight.
i was lucky enough to get one of my hammers back today, but it's been over two years since i've used it and the rust shows.
especially since i never had any real training with the thing in the first place.
i am pretty sure i have sparring partners covered, so what i really need help with here are the fundamentals of hammer and/or fist fighting.
in return, i can offer...uh
something.
idk what exactly, but we can figure something out.

((ooc: For those who don't know, John managed to get a video recording of the soul extraction process during the Something Unexpected event. And like hell is he not going to share it after all that. I really didn't want to copypasta the same note onto a billion mailbox posts so I figured this would be easier. I'll be tossing up a log to actually thread out the tape showings either later on today or tomorrow. If you want your character to run into him in the mailroom on this post though, that's a-ok with me.))

[Close enough, really.]

really? sweet! :D
two for one! tbh i was a little worried there wouldn't be anybody here who knows their way around a hammer.
i'd really appreciate it if you would be up for that.

Well uh, I usually hit monsters with chairs and desks. I just swing them like a giant hammer, but that should be a similar process, right?

[ghostytrainer]

oh.
well yeah, same basic principle. swing big heavy things, knock out monsters, rinse and repeat.
i'm not going to split hairs about it.

still text

[get_bent]

Not like we got much of a choice around here, anyway. I know there was another Persona user guy that wielded axes, but I haven't seen him around lately.

[ghostytrainer]

persona?

[He feels like he's heard that term somewhere before...maybe in one of Rose's psychology books? Or maybe it came up at some point with Yu in the elevator who knows.]

[get_bent]

Oh yeah uh...man, Senpai or Naoto would be way better then me for explaining it...it's a part of me that comes out to fight physically in my place.

[ghostytrainer]

...
is it by any chance a brain-monster summon sort of thing?
like say, a giant golden dragon or a little blonde girl?

[get_bent]

...wait you know 'bout those?

[And he only knows one person with those specific Persona.]

You meet Senpai then. Yu, right?

[ghostytrainer]

yeah!
i just figured he was a summoner or something.

[get_bent2]

A summoner?

...I guess in a way we kinda are.

[He does not understand your videogame jargon, he just thinks his is a perfectly acceptable word.]

[ghostytrainer]

yeah, like in a video game or something.
only not a video game, obviously.
since magic is pretty damn real, which i'm guessing you already knew.
