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.]

I guess that's alright as long as we don't find you out. You know, when you start laughing hysterically and setting things on fire.

[trueknight]

I think I can keep my hysterical laughing and pyromania under control for now. Somewhere down the road, though ... I'm not making any promises there.

[wingenvy]

That's okay, we'll just stock up on fire extinguishers and earplugs until then.

[trueknight]

So if I go crazy, you're just going to ignore me? Huh. I see how it is.

[wingenvy]

Would you prefer a date with my Buster sword? Because I'm not good for much else when it comes to crazy.

[It's a sad fact, and making light of it doesn't necessarily help, but...]

[trueknight]

... Good point. Just pretend I don't exist until I get bored with the insanity act. Given how everything else works here, I'd probably be done with it in a week, anyway.

[wingenvy]

It's kinda sad when insanity has become part of the norm, isn't it.

[trueknight]

It's a little more than just "kinda sad", honestly. I don't ignore it or anything, but I just ... try not to think too much about it. We all have enough problems being here without needing to depress ourselves on top of it all.

[wingenvy]

I guess. [He's not sure he buys the "don't ignore it" bit, considering Yuri's penchant for doing exactly that, but he won't argue about it right now.] Well, getting back on topic, you can definitely count me in with the training school. Anything you need me to do, just name if and I'm there. I'm looking forward to getting involved.

[trueknight]

[Hey now, he subscribes to the theory of "Never Saying Anything Ever" thank you very much B( But he's very okay with moving the topic to something else, even if it's technically work-related. It's Zack, so he doesn't care.]

You plan on helping out with that too, huh? [Heh.] What would you want to help out with? Teaching, or something else?

[wingenvy]

That depends. What else do you need besides teaching? I'm not that great with organization, but I can lift heavy stuff.

[trueknight]

Aside from teaching ... I guess people who'd stick around for spars. Y'know, for the guys who are just looking to improve, not learn new things. I'm sure there's something other than those two things, but hell if I can think of what they might be right now.

[wingenvy]

I can do that, sure. Chances are we'll be learning as we go, too, so we can only get better at the teaching gig over time, right?

[trueknight]

Yeah, maybe. I'm not really the teaching type myself, but I guess anyone can get at least decent at something if they do it enough times.

[wingenvy]

Yeah, same. I had a good teacher, I was thinking I'd just lead by example.

[And not turn evil and get his students to kill him THAT WOULD BE BAD]
