[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.
The activities include:
Archery (instructor: Richard)
Horseback riding (instructor: Richard)
Swords (instructors: a2, Mitsuru Kirijo)
Magic + Superpower guidance(instructors: Morrigan, Fauna)
Firearms (instructors: Caitlyn, Levi)

[ooc: There is going to be a top-level for each activity/category. But feel free to make your own wildcard options outside of them, too. o/]

I do admire your dedication, [he begins.] And you're right that it's dangerous here, and we'll inevitably have to worry about our safety.
[She probably suspects there's a but coming by now, and he's not going to prove that wrong.]
There's only so much we're mentally and physically capable of, Ms. Kiramman. I think it's important to strive for improvement as long as we're capable, but there comes a point where... unrealistic expectations are more of a detriment than a help.
[Ask him how he knows—or don't, because it's unlikely for anyone to get a real answer out of him about that.]
Accepting your limits allows you to better prepare, I think. If you recognize where you can and can't change, you can direct your efforts towards methods with better results—like asking for help to cover for those limits.
[Perhaps it sounds too much like a lecture, but he's trying to turn his tone towards something more like tentative advice—and anyway, it's become almost second nature for him to try to guide others, especially younger sorts, so he's not about to let Caitlyn's statements pass without proper comment.]
