2nd Contract | [Video]

[fusedstars]

[Hei appears on the network again, his face looking slightly brighter than it did two weeks ago. Cooking in the kitchen and wandering the tower had done wonders for his spirit, though not a whole lot. He could at least think better again, and recent activity around the tower had managed to remind him of a few things.

 If the festivities are done for now, I would like to call attention back to the tower and the threats it provides regarding certain creatures here. While I hear that death has not much consequence, it is still something I am sure all of you wish to avoid regardless. [And he'll avoid going into detail as to why death should have been a big concern, mainly for mental reasons.]

Therefore, I wish to offer my services as a trainer, to those that are interested. It won't be easy, but within a few weeks, you'll be far more prepared for a fight here than you normally would. For those interested, simply contact me.

I will also be at the cafeteria regularly during lunch and dinner hours to make meals. If you wish to avoid making a hazardous meal and desire for something more edible, you can contact me.

[Always the best ways to gain information, or throw himself in danger. Either way, info of some kind could be gained.]

That is all.

[Services as a trainer? And he was offering services as a cook? Interesting. He weighed his options... but there weren't many options regarding the Tower. Only temporary solutions until something happened.

Besides. He wanted training. He had his strength but it wasn't enough to be strong if he didn't know how to control himself.]

Where do I sign up?

[There's a brief sign of surprise when Hei sees Rin of all people.]

Rin--[He quickly shakes his head.] Right, you're not the same one...

[holyshitwhatfuckeryisthis - suddenly on high alert!]

Who the hell are you?

Re: [video]

[fusedstars]

I take it you didn't see the last network post explaining myself?

[video]

[pinnedbangs]

[...Not the answer he expected. He calms down - somewhat.]

Why would I? I don't look through all those posts!

Re: [video]

[fusedstars]

[This suddenly explained the lack of responses and questions.]

You should; it's informative regarding those in the tower that do have the courage to speak.

[video]

[pinnedbangs]

[...Did he just call Rin a coward.]

No one's talking about anything important. 'Cept you apparently. I'd rather speak in person!

*Enoch hesitates before responding, finger hovering over the button that would open up a reply link. He'd had so many plans, to experiment with food flavors with Armaros and come up with things, new combinations for a gathering.

He almost moves on without reply. It feels for a moment that it isn't worth it. That it's too transient and so is everything. But...Armaros isn't gone. Meridian may well be, but Sola sent everyone away. Maybe he's safe. Waiting for him. That won't happen if he goes mad here.

He sits down and opens up a reply.*

I've been wondering about the ingredients there. Can you teach me what you know about them?

Re: [video]

[fusedstars]

A simple enough task. That I can do.

Re: [video]

[warriorscribe]

When is a good time to meet, then?

Re: [video]

[fusedstars]

Any time in the afternoon is fine with me.

[Considering he did his hunting early in the morning, and scoured the tower mostly at night for training and Intel, afternoons were his only free time.]

[video] -> [action]

[warriorscribe]

I'll meet you then. Thank you.

*It isn't very far past noon when Enoch comes down to the cafeteria, as expected. He makes his way past anyone who may still be eating and heads for what he assumes is the kitchen, considering there isn't much else it could be.*

[action]

[fusedstars]

[He should have been more specific, but at any rate, no choice in this anymore. Hei soon enough comes into the kitchen, and meets Enoch there. Hopefully this would be a quick lesson.]

I'm here.

What kind of things do you train in?

Re: [Video]

[fusedstars]

[Ryoji? Maybe this one was the Arisato one the other Ryoji told him about.]

You are Ryoji Arisato, correct?

At any rate, I specialize in training in hand-to-hand combat, as well as finding openings so others can flee from fights they cannot win. Considering what I have seen of these monsters within this tower, both are necessities.

[Video]

[thanabro]

Huh? Yeah, that's right.

Ah. Hm... I... don't really know how to fight, aside from using my Persona. Do you think you could teach me something? Anything would be better than nothing, really.

Re: [Video]

[fusedstars]

[Not questioning Persona, considering he saw what Minako could do.]

I can do that for you, Ryoji. Though I must warn you now, the lessons will not be easy. [Meaning expect to be hit. A lot.]

Re: [Video]

[thanabro]

I kind of figured they wouldn't be.

Re: [Video]

[fusedstars]

[Not a bad answer. It did help figure out that they were more determined for this.]

Tomorrow, I'll set-up a schedule for those that are training. Be ready by tomorrow afternoon.

[turkleader]

What sort of fighting do you teach?

Re: [video]

[fusedstars]

Hand-to-hand.

[video]

[turkleader]

What if we don't need training, but we wouldn't object to brushing up?

Re: [video]

[fusedstars]

Like sparring? I won't object to that.

[video]

[turkleader]

I'm finding that it has been too long since I've been able to work out, and if you're agreeable, I am looking for a sparring partner.

Re: [video]

[fusedstars]

[It would be wise to keep up one's strength as well, and doing it with the monsters would not be a wise task.]

I accept the offer.

[A month with that bastard Jason did not bode well for his body.]
