paradisa | 039 Points

[Good morning, Paradisa! Would you look at that gorgeous spring sunrise over the horizon? Wake up, sleepyheads. When you do, the journal displays a rather large and eye-catching handwritten notice done in clear, strong print. Alleyne is in the kitchen, swirling a cup of coffee in one hand and writing in her journal with the other, sipping as she works.]

[Filtered away from First Gens, their allies, and anyone who would reveal their location for the purposes of sabotage]

To those that wish to test or hone their survival and combat skills.

To those that wish to gain such skills, even if you've never so much picked up a wooden sword before.

To those that want to learn how to cope without powers when out on expeditions.

Meet up in the lobby tomorrow morning at sunrise, carrying only one pack full of what you think you'd need. We will be camping a week in the forest just outside the border of the Dead Zone. Those that think they can hack it can do harder work out there, but those that cannot for whatever reason can stay on the powered side. I will judge what you brought when we get there.

Expect no mercy. Expect hard work. But expect guaranteed results.

If you have any questions or concerns, now's the time before you decide to sign up. Once you go, there's no taking it back; I'll be holding you to this and grading you.

-Alleyne

I probably could use more of your excellent training... would you mind if I came along?

[She notes back, not wanting to speak with her mouth full]

Not at all. Anyone is welcome, so long as they think they can hack it. After all, nature spares nobody, why should I?

Thank you so much! I promise to do my absolute very best!

[Excuse the newbie.]

What do you mean, without powers?

the dead zone renders most technology and supernatural abilities useless
anyone who crosses the border into it will have no powers until they return

[Oh? Hello.]

Hmm. Thanks...

Everybody here's got powers of some sort?

I see Aradia already got to you, but what she said is true. There's an area not terribly far from the castle that, once entered, all technology and magic goes dead. It extends for quite some range, so not everyone can go there, let alone function well if they do.

I myself have never been adept at things like magic; all my skills are through my own hard work and training. While I have no benefits that come with such knowledge, I also lose nothing going out there. I can help others adapt.

Is that all you're trying to achieve?

Can I make white flags for this trip? White flags for everyone!

White flags? Whatever would we need those for? In case we get lost?

[Someone doesn't get it]

[Forgive him. Even if he was at war.]

To surrender obviously. If anyone wants to capture us, we use our white flash to show we give up!

[Ohohoho, now this has some possibility to be entertaining]

[Suddenly, Alleyne feels her left ear burn and itch a bit, digging in it as she takes a sip of coffee. Is someone thinking or talking about her? Better not be anything terrible, hrmph.]

ooh! count me in
this sounds like really good practice for the expedition

[I'm sure she'll remember her schedule conflict in a minute or two...]

Good to see you're coming along; I expect no less of you by now. I'd have to pull you along by one of your horns if you didn't.

[That's her way of saying she likes you and is glad you're coming with]

I'm sure there will be plenty for you to dig into and inspect out there. Bring some papers to note with.

oh noooooooooo not the horns
hehe
and dont worry ill come prepared

[hi bb you should probably recognize this fancy handwriting]

What if we simply wish to get out of the castle for awhile? This will make for a nice distraction.

[Iyaaan blushu and such, kouhai elfu chan]

Please, by all means, you're always more than welcome to tag along. I'm sure your skills will come in most handy there.

[alleyne-chan doki doki]

Very well. I look forward to it. Let me know if you need any help.

If you don't mind having another sign up, I-I'd like to go too, Alleyne-sensei. It feels like it has been too long since I trained.

You didn't strike me as the sporty kind of girl.

[Excuse him, but the it's the sound of her voice and the word training what quite don't match together.]

I-I don't? [Suddenly sad. She had spent years trying to get people to believe she could be and handle training.]

That's... I actually really enjoy it, so...

[Get dunked, Izzy

She writes '3 points' and 'To whom do I owe the honor of having this grace my morning?' on the drawing, tapping her pen angrily against the paper.]
