[The video starts at the Weapon Training HQ, well outside it. Shadow adjusts his tie as he speaks. It's a nice sunny day in Sunwaning, of course. Isn't it always?]

My name is Shadow the Hedgehog, for those who do not know me. I am a combat teacher here at the Weapon Training HQ in Sunwaning. I have openings for new students at this time. I specialize in unarmed combat and improvised weapons. I also have experience in power control. I can assist with learning to control and better manipulate ones abilities that perhaps run more rampant.

If you are interested, respond to this message.

I am also seeking others to spar against. I have a dedicated sparring partner though that is the same person. Sparring with new people allow me to learn new techniques and fighting styles. If you are looking for someone new to spar with as well, respond to this message.

That is all.

[Locked to Sonic and Maria.]

Sunwaning has a number of larger houses with yards. I want to see if you both would like to look at them with me. I thought we could find one that works for all three of us. Though Sonic says he doesn't care, all three of us doing so together would be a good idea.

[Reading between the lines, he wants to spend time with them both at the same time. Shhhh.]

I wouldn't mind having another sparring partner -- I have a pretty varied skill set which might help with practicing some scenarios and fighting someone new would do me some good.

Re: video; UN: Intergalactic Baseballer

[shatteredprison]

[He nods.]

That would be helpful. Do you have a preferred sparing location? I use the Coliseum in Dayrise primarily.

[starwill]

Not really. I can head there, actually--oh, but it'll have to be off working hours.

[shatteredprison]

Yes. We can schedule something. When does your work day end?

[spinsandneedles]

I'm good whenever you two are!

Gotta admit though, house hunting still feels really weird.

Re: Video - UN: gottagofast

[shatteredprison]

After we can get chilidogs if that will help. And book an appointment for getting my ears pierced.

[Hint hint, nudge nudge.]

[spinsandneedles]

Oh? Feel like gettin' all fancy, huh?

[Nope it goes right over his head sorry Shadow.]

I'm not about to turn down chilidogs, but I'm not sayin' that lookin' for a house is a bad thing, just so you know.

Wow, really? That sounds fun ♪ Neechan's a pretty tough trainer, so I bet I could manage it! Or at least it'd be fun to try, and that's the most important thing!

Re: un:happyaround

[shatteredprison]

If you want, we can spar. I know Evangeline has trained you well. I am curious how she's taught you to fight.

[roundandaround]

Then it's settled! I'll do my best, okay? Besides, there's a big expedition coming up, this is technically training for it! I think, anyway.

[A small, sweater-and-glasses-wearing blue being is staring intently at the camera, as if thinking hard.]

I want to learn how to control the abilities I have. Does that mean I should spar? I don't think I'd be very good at fighting, though...

Re: video | un: sadness

[shatteredprison]

[Shadow waits for the small blue person to speak. He thinks his answer over.]

That depends on your abilities. If they could be useful for combat, sparring is possible. If not, I can still help you learn control. What abilities do you possess?

[isadrag]

Well... [She's deep in thought again.] I can manipulate water. And I can still summon clouds to ride on, like I could back home. I think I can create some water too...

[theshadowturnedhero]

[Wait someone ACTUALLY named their kid Shadow???]

What kinda power control?

Improvised weapons could be fun. I got trained early enough that never really had to learn with something decided in the moment.

Re: voice un:shadowlink

[shatteredprison]

Learning to sharpen ones skills when utilizing their powers. Sharpening their control further than they currently have. Or, if control is not the issue, assisting them unleash their power if that is the issue.

It is a good skill. Your chosen weapon can be stolen, disarmed, or destroyed. Being able to use anything in your surroundings as a weapon makes you an even greater threat.

Re: voice un:shadowlink

[theshadowturnedhero]

Huh. I don't really have much problem with control, though unleashing...






Actually, what do you know about magic items that are temperamental?

It would be good to know when powers get taken away. I'm never disarmed when I have magic, but there has been times its been stripped, which is highly inconvenient when one makes their own weapons.

[Round 2...?]

I'm fine with sparring when you've got the chance.

Re: Video; un: shoto

[shatteredprison]

[Round 2.]

I do. I want to see how your control has improved since our last match. The Coliseum again, yes?

[Action]

[itsmypower]

[The coliseum.]

Got it.

[Living nearby, it takes him—maybe—5 minutes to arrive, and maybe Shadow can sense he's calmed considerably in these last few months. His aura's peace, and when he spots his "opponent", he brightens a little before he's trotting right up.

He's gained a spark.]

Ready?

[dreams_of_earth]

Ooo, that sounds like a good idea! Although honestly, I'm just fine with whatever you two like. I don't mind!

[ She's not picky. She's just happy to be able to spend time with you two. ]

Re: video; un: auroras

[shatteredprison]

Sonic said the same thing.

[Shadow slowly blinks.]

Would you not want a room to your liking or a yard for flowers?

[dreams_of_earth]

Of course I would, silly. But being with the two of you is what's important to.le. so, I'm fine with whatever you like.

[Dick stares at this for a long LONG time before finally leaving a message.]

How do you think you can handle someone who was forced to teach themselves how to fight so probably has a bunch of crap they have to unlearn first?

Re: Video, UN:Sourpuss

[shatteredprison]

I would be willing to train someone like that. Self-taught skills, perhaps there are things they need to unlearn. But it would mean they have a natural talent and a foundation to build upon.

Re: Video, UN:Sourpuss

[luckynumber13]

Well I don't know about natural talent, but since you're willing. We could try it and see if you can find that foundation?

My name's Dick.
