Now that things seem to be settling down, I've got a little announcement to make.

Some of you might remember way back when we used to have a "training school" here. For those of you who weren't around back then, it was made to help people learn to fight, learn new fighting styles, or just get better at defending themselves. Pretty straightforward. Anyway, since it's been inactive for a long time now - and because things are never totally peaceful around here - Brave Vesperia has decided to get it started up again.

I'm still in the process of figuring out how to actually run this thing, but there's a few things I know we definitely need - teachers, and anyone willing to set some time aside to spar with those who need the practice. You don't need to be a member of the guild to get involved, either. That goes for any of the past teachers who want to get back into this, too. As for guild members ... while I'd like you guys to help out, I'm not gonna force you to. I'll leave it up to you to get involved in this or not.

So ... let me know if you're interested in giving us a hand with this. We sure could use it.

[ ... ]

... Oh, right. Just 'cause Brave Vesperia's doing this doesn't mean we're not taking jobs anymore. So if there's something you need from us, we're still around for that too.

[... That was totally not a "little announcement". Oh well. He's also keeping quiet about the fact that BV doesn't have full control of things just yet, but ... well, he doesn't see that as anyone's business anyway.]

[Once the evening comes around, Yuri will be heading to Good Spirits for a few drinks, taking a seat on one of the corner stools by the bar while he's there. He usually doesn't drop by the place very often, but all this responsibility he's been taking on with the guild is really wearing him out. Heck, even though he's trying to keep a neutral front, some of the more "keen-eyed" types might be able to pick out that he's actually pretty damn tired.

Even though he's entirely content to drink in silence right about now, feel free to bug him while he's there. He could probably use it.]

Guess you gotta take what you can get in this place. Is that how the school was last time?

I can't remember too much about how this worked back then, but I'm pretty sure at least half the people involved were new to teaching things. I don't remember there being very many teachers either, though.

Too bad. Did you teach anything?

Me? Nah, I had other things to take care of when it first came up.

[It's nicer than saying "Nah, the one person I hate more than anything was in charge back then", anyway.]

[He's tempted to ask what kind of stuff that would be--he's had a difficult time finding much to do in Luceti--but it's none of his business.]

You gonna be doin' it this time?

[Might as well try and find out who he might end up teaching with.]

Not as often as others, but yeah. Because of that, I'll be working with people who use one-handed swords and already have at least some idea of what they're doing with them already. Total beginners wouldn't do too well with a guy who's not gonna be around a lot.

I get what ya mean. So if somebody winds up with beginners it'll be an every day thing, right?

Maybe not every day, but they'd definitely need to come by often.

Not every day? They're gonna have it easy, huh? I think the guys who taught me woulda' called that slackin' off.

Well, I'm not gonna be setting any schedules for anyone, honestly. If you want to make it an every day thing on your end, that's up to you.

Eh, guess I'll see what I wind up with first. You got any idea when this'll all be sorted out?

[He's not going to make a move to volunteer help on the administrative end. Keeping the accounts at home is bad enough.]

With any luck, by the beginning of next month. I can't see things taking much longer than that to get rolling.

Alright, I'll be keepin' an eye out.
