[training mingle] - I wanna be the very best

Who: The Chosen of Aldrip
Where: The X-mansion
What: The Chosen of Aldrip are invited to yet another training montage
Warnings: General violence. Please mark any other potential warnings on the thread titles!



At the dawn on January 5th the tents for the training grounds raise up again. However, unlike the last time the training camp does not take place in the empty fields of the outskirts but instead they are set on the property of X-Mansion. Courtesy of X-men, who have agreed to let their home to be utilized for common good.

Each tent marks a post for a different activity while ome of them work as a simplified armories. There are sets of blades (from knives to long swords), axes, armors, firearms, bows and arrows and what have you. Feel free to pick your poison, so to speak! However, Richard keeps a keen list on who borrows and what, marking down immediately if something goes missing. So! be sure to return what you take unless you want him to come after you. And just like the always, the chosen are more than welcomed to use their own weapons.

And if the Chosen gets tired of running around in the cold and snow they can go and grab lunch at the mansion's kitchen/dining area! This time it is provided by the inn which, yes, means there's different kind of poultry dishes are being served. As for the dessert there is hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows available for the chosen.

For those who seek out more challenge and advanced training methods they are given access to Danger Room, a holographic combat simulator tucked deep down in one of the basements. In case someone needs help with setting up a perfect training scenario for their needs Morph is there to answer any questions.

Swords (instructors: a2, Mitsuru Kirijo)

I've got some other powers, so yeah, it's a power thing.

[He's been coming to terms with who he is and what he can do, though he doesn't like to use any of them for brute force if he can help it.]

I'm a Kryptonian, so we can all do that. Or, well, I assume we can. I'm one of the only ones left.

[Kryponian doesn't mean a damn thing to Vi, but she nods anyway. telling people that she's from Zaun, the Lanes, or even Runeterra doesn't mean shit to anyone, either.]

Makes sense. Do you have any experience with form, or do you just usually knock people's heads off in a fight?

[she's just asking.]

I try not to knock people's heads off at all, if I can help it. [Thankfully that hasn't actually happened, but sometimes he worries about it.]

...to be honest, I don't really like to fight that much. If someone's threatening people, I'll deal with them, but I mainly want to keep them from harming anyone else.

[Which is why he'll let an opponent wail on him if it means they won't cause more damage elsewhere.]

Well, sometimes we do what we don't want to.

[a gentle giant type, huh? the boy's big, but... she can't really blame him. people harming others was usually got her into action, too.]

It's always good to know though, especially here. Sometimes people lose their strength or powers, and sometimes they don't know what to do without them.

...yeah. That's a universal truth, I guess.

[There have been instances where he's had no choice but to fight, and he's rarely felt good about it. Brainiac was an exception, because that robot was a jerk, to put it lightly.]

I've lost my powers before, but it's always been temporary. [At least artificial red sunlight can be turned off.] Is that something that happens often here?

[Vi shrugs.]

I'm just a normal human, so I can't say for sure how much it actually happens. But sometimes shit like that happens, and who knows when it's gonna pop up. That's why I figure it's a good idea for you guys to be prepared for it.

[she remembers the way Jinx couldn't even do anything slightly violent for that month...]
