paradisa | 070. South Bound Saurez

[Brock sounds a little miffed, which isn't that unusual, so probably don't mention it.]

Okay, so... if everybody's done yelling about eggs or whatever. I shoulda done this earlier, but, y'know, plans tend to fall by the wayside when physics stop being a thing.

So. If anybody new's shown up since I mentioned this last: Hey, my name's Brock. I'm trying to organize some kind of buddy system where we can help each other out, training on our weaknesses and stuff like that.

*you should all learn this, no question, just do it

[And, back to dictating!]

You're under no obligation to follow through with any of this, by the way. If your trainer is a jerk or if you don't like your student, just say see ya later, bro, and I'll match you up with somebody else. Filter me, stop by the cabin, whatever. I'm around.

If you wanna help out or if you wanna learn something, let me know. Or just hit up one of the people I listed. Pretty easy.

[ooc. for organization's sake, i would also appreciate it if you would fill out a thing here if you want to do this thing! yeah!!!]

[In a tone like she thinks Brock is slow:]

Katniss is useless. Ben isn't training under her.

Are you his mom, Tess?

I don't have to be.

So what's the big deal? She a moron or something?

She's the kind that only acts when she's pushed beyond her comfort zone, but is otherwise willing to tolerate far too much. People who only struggle out of obligation are pretty useless, good survival skills come out of being proactive.

[He is going to keep his mouth shut about people who only act under certain circumstances! Tess!!!]

I mean, she's teaching him archery. Not survival.

I don't care. I don't want her near anyone in my circle, she's got a bad attitude.

Your 'circle.'

I'm not in the mood, Brock. Just humor me.

Alright, whatever. Only other archers are, uh... [Shuffles papers...] And elf and a blind guy. Choose your poison.

[Jesus.]

Whichever will put his nose to the grindstone more.

[Vereesa, then. He makes the correction!]

Okay.

Good.

You know, you should help out, too. Competency isn't a super common trait in this place.

You know, as true as that is, I'm low on patience for spoiled people. I'm not a nice person.

If I were only looking for nice people, this whole list'd be full of skills like 'kitten petting' and 'cloud watching.' C'mon.

[Tess, please. ]

She seems pretty okay to me.

I don't trust your judge of character.

Oh, thanks. But I should still get a say in who trains me. [No you don't Ben, sit down and shut up. ]

Why, exactly?

You mean other than because it's my training?

That doesn't even matter.

Uh, pretty sure it does. Free will is a thing, you know.

And other people can stop you from "free willing" your way into bad choices.

People keep telling me I need to learn to deal with my own shit, but how am I supposed to do that when everybody's making my choices for me?
