03 - Video / Action at Freya

[Unlike in previous video posts, there are no bandages on Maya's right shoulder, no sling, and her nodachi isn't in the bag she usually keeps it in. No, the beautiful sword with the swirling dragon about the sheath is resting on her shoulder as she stands before the Freya Welcome House.]

I know it's been a couple weeks since I started at the Citadel, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Natsume Maya, and I'm one of the Citadel's instructors. I teach the sword and meditation techniques. Unlike the other sword instructors, my specialty is the Japanese style of sword. For those of you from non-Earth worlds, if the sword's blade is single-edged and has a curve to it, I can teach it. I offer lessons three times a week for sword, twice a week for meditation. If you're interested, come to the Citadel and sign up.

Now, the Citadel has a code for chivalrous behavior always within it and while taking classes there. If chivalry isn't your thing and you still want to learn, contact me privately. I do give lessons of a less than chivalrous nature on my own time, but understand that they are not easy.

On another note, my fellow Freya members, I would like to start a little house camaraderie here in the form of a martial arts club. If you are a member of Freya and know martial arts, come down to the common room. [She gives a cocky smirk.] The best fighters don't always end up in Thor.

[Shiki wasn't interested in joining a club and Maya already knew that. But he also preferred talking face to face and since this was close by, there was no harm done.]

Yo.

You mentioned meditation... what varieties?

[She definitely had her share of reasons. Lots of them, but she wasn't entirely sure how effective it would be. Still, there was no reason not to try. It had worked before, when she was young.]

What does it mean, exactly -- "less than chivalrous?"

There is more to fighting prowess than strength. The house of Thor seems woefully lacking in that regard.

[Action because that's how I roll]

[Pretty sure that's a pair of feet at eye level coming up next to you, Maya.

Cerebella's walking on her hands. Girl's gotta practice.]


Startin' that club you were talking about a while back?

You teach blade without honour?

[ still really protective of his sister, sorry Maya. ]

What do you mean by the words: 'If chivalry is not your thing?'.

You have to let me join. I'm one of the best fighters period.
