6th pokeball [mass mailbox notes + text]
[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.))

since we aren't restricted to specific kind abstratuses anymore.
still, i'm just more comfortable with hammers at this point. even if i haven't used them in a while.
and i think you underestimate how dangerous smashing power can be.
things don't have to be sharp to do damage.
[In other words: John is all brute force and no finesse.]

But thiing2 wiith edge2 do more damage wiith le22 effort, 2o unle22 you want to wa2te all of your energy bangiing on thiing2 and makiing your2elf an ea2iier kiill you miight want to get 2omethiing 2harp.
Or put 2piikes on your hammer.

or do trolls have some other of system/weaponry management?
but wouldn't putting spikes on my hammer still have the same energy wasting problem? i mean i'd still have to swing it the same.
no subject
II haven't u2ed anythiing called that iin my liife.
You don't really get what II mean, do you? IIt miight take more energy to 2wiing a 2piiked hammer compared to a kniife, BUT iit wiill 2till requiire fewer 2wiing2 to cau2e fatal damage, becau2e the 2piike2 would driive iinto your enemiie2 fle2h and damage viital organ2 or 2ever blood ve22el2.
[duh]
