[This is another network post from the worst video personality imaginable. Kieran is on one of the fields at the arena, and there's several bags and a large pile of … something..? behind him. It could be easels or barricades or anything like that. He glances off camera for a moment, then speaks, and anyone who knows him will recognize that he's doing his 'I'm totally not scary' thing.]

We just got a big wake up call about powers not working outside the city. Not everyone can do hand to hand or blades but everyone should be able to fight.

I'm giving shooting lessons at the arena. One on one or small groups for now. You pay for your ammo, unless you want to practice resisting body control. Then it's on me.

[He says this as if it's a favor to you rather than the other way around, that he's a body controller looking for people to practice on. Kieran glances offscreen again, and the feed cuts out.

At least he doesn't waste words.]

[it is a surprise to exactly nobody that ash is here. depending on how well one knows ash, it may or may not be a surprise that he's there to practice, although at the moment he's just fussing with gun maintenance]

I wonder how many you'll catch.

Re: [action]

[felttheburn]

Hopefully some. I got more than we thought last time, even being shitty bait.

[let's face it, he's not the most approachable person. he picks up one of the handguns and spins it. equius did good work -- sometimes only one person is enough, see, ashes?]

[action]

[bulletwithmyname]

And now they've got more reason to care.

[he watches kieran spin the gun, smiling slightly. his agreement is obvious through the bond]

Sometimes only one person is enough. But it'd be good if a few more were smart enough to show.

[tongue3y3s]

[She leans her chin on her hand and examines the video feed for a second, then grins.] How about I trade you for sword lessons?

[felttheburn]

[Kieran looks pretty disinterested.]

I didn't say 'or best offer,' trollgirl.

[tongue3y3s]

No shit! I'm blind, not deaf.

But if you don't accept, who knows how long it'll be before you find out anything more about troll fighting styles? There's a lot more adults showing up in Asgard. [Her claws drum against her cheek.]

I can donate ammo for people who can't afford it. I don't mind.

[ A pause. And then - ]

.. and I need to learn how to resist body control.

Re: [video]

[felttheburn]

[well. he remembers jade. you could even say that she's the reason he decided to learn his power in the first place, though you wouldn't because that would be suggesting kieran listened to a little girl. he gives her image a long look, then:]

You train with me, two people get free ammo.

[nukeoleptic]

[ She grins a little lopsidedly, nodding at him. ]

'Kay. Sounds good to me. You said you're in the arena, right?

[kuramaless]

[It's not that he can't fight. Far from it, really. He's trained a lot recently to try and get better at hand to hand stuff as well as other stuff...

Shooting though, that sounds interesting.

For all of five seconds until he hears the terms.

Of course, even that has a bright side. Well, at least that he can make out.]

You're sayin' if someone tries to-- resist the thing, you'll let 'em shoot stuff for free?

[felttheburn]

You get lessons where you shoot a target. But yeah.

Don't think of it as free, it's a trade.

[kuramaless]

Yeah yeah, that's what I said. [Nope.]

A trade then!

I never thought of practicin' like-- with the body thing!

Excellent. You are moving forward with this project. I am pleased to see this. How have preparations proceeded?

Re: Audio

[felttheburn]

It's ready to go, if people show up.

Re: Audio

[alternia_strength]

Excellent. Keep me apprised. I am finding myself increasingly disinclined to participate in my previous project at the moment, which increases my ability to produce arms.

[video]

[getinthechariot]

Shooting, eh?

I'd like to watch this, if you don't mind.

[New forms of combat? Sign him up!]

Re: [video]

[felttheburn]

In my experience, beginners don't like audiences.

[getinthechariot]

Fair enough.

Is there then an experienced shooter who could give a demonstration?

[airborn]

Shooting...with bows?

[They're more of Katniss' thing, but if someone's doing some target practice, she could go watch. Maybe play around with her slingshot, too.]

Re: video

[felttheburn]

Guns.

[ffffff it's a little girl]

video

[airborn]

[Long pauuuuuse.] Are they those really loud things?

[video]

[ghani]

Resisting body control?

[ Yes, that does sound like something she wants to find out how hard it is to do here. Under normal circumstances she would consider herself very difficult to control, but who knows what the case might be here? ]

Re: [video]

[felttheburn]

I need the practice.

[Voice]

[hadbadays]

[ Oh, what the heck. ]

I don't need shooting lessons, but I can help teaching, if you'd like that.

Re: [Voice]

[felttheburn]

Don't really have enough students right now for a second teacher.
