Hey, everyone! This is Ruby Rose! Listen, I had a rather... odd idea. I don't know how it's gonna pan out and all, but hear me out!

I know they gave us all this super-cool magic and all that, but not all of us can really fight. So, I was thinking that maybe I could try to fix that! I saw we can start businesses and I was thinking maybe I can start up a place so combat lessons can be given!

Now, I know that I'm not the best fighter here - my sister Yang was the one who used her fists and my other friends had swords and I use a large scythe and I REALLY hate using my own fists - but I wanna give everyone a chance not to be completely helpless. Give a few pointers, show them how to make weapons - it was totally a thing back home - the works!

But... am I doing too much? Thinking too hard? I wanna help out others who can't fight yet...

You aren't the only one who has considered this, certainly. For one thing having powers is rather useless unless you know how to use them effectively, just as you said.

I've been trying to work alongside the government to ensure a support group or network can be formed, so if you do continue this line of thought please let me know. It would be rather helpful to establish a connection between the two.

{ it is also good to hear that he won't have to do all the work himself if other people look into other areas of training people. }

[silver_eyes_rose]

Oh, I'm so glad you think so! The more, the merrier, right? I'll certainly let you know if I keep going! I just might!

[acquirement]

Indeed, it would be rather foolish of us all not to work together when we're all in the same predicament.

Feel free to contact me if you require any assistance, I may be able to help.

Greetings, Ruby Rose. My name is Kamisato Ayaka.

In a case like this, I do not think there is something as "too much". We all have much to learn, and if you are able to help those who are interested in learning more? Then I see nothing wrong with it.

I imagine you already have quite a lot of topics to start with. The basics of combat is simple enough, but making weapons is quite challenging!

What is it that you do where you are from?

[silver_eyes_rose]

Hi, Ayaka! Call I call you "Ayaka"? You can just call me "Ruby".

I'm glad you think what I'm planning is good. I really do think we need all the help we can get here. And weapon making is something we're taught when we're beginning our training!

I'm a Huntress. We're meant to protect our world from creatures known as Grimm.

[mistsplitter]

Yes, of course. I shall call you Ruby, then.

It is taught to you from the beginning? Then, how long would it take to finish making a weapon? And is everyone in your profession required to make their own?

Hehe. I have more questions underway.

[silver_eyes_rose]

Oh, I would say a couple of days for a simple weapon. Most weapons where I come from are a combination of both close and long range. Usually with guns. And, yes, they are. They’re an extension of ourselves!

Oh, if you have more questions, ask away!

[mistsplitter]

I do know a thing or two about blacksmithing, but I cannot imagine making my own weapon. Huntresses must be so talented! It is such a difficult feat!

Now, what exactly are these creatures of Grimm?

[silver_eyes_rose]

Oh, boy. Grimm.

They’re soulless creatures that feed off on negative emotions. They can sense those emotions and head towards them if they’re strong enough.

[mistsplitter]

I see... Then all the more that peace must be obtained all areas, no?

[silver_eyes_rose]

Oh, very much so, yes.

[mistsplitter]

Are there many of you? Huntresses?

Nah, you got a point. You got a good head on your shoulders for considering the ones with zero combat experience. I think everyone deserves to have a chance to fight for themselves, you know? You never know what will happen tomorrow so it's good to be prepared.

Name's Gregor. I can help teach some self defense to beginners if you ever get a program started.

[silver_eyes_rose]

Thank you, Gregor! The more help, the merrier!

I had the thought because of some things my roommate had said, that they knew some thing about fighting but not a lot. I was a little worried that others would be in that situation or even worse.

[roached]

I don't blame you for being worried. The unexpected can always happen and when it gets rough, having some skills and an idea for a plan can increase your survival odds by a lot.

I don't have a resume prepared or anything, but I can say that I got experience fighting both humans and monsters back at home.

On the contrary, such a service would prove beneficial for those who do not know how to fight. Or, in the case of those who have been given powers unfamiliar to what they are used to, it could be nice to have another helping them through an unknown ability. Such collaboration would enable us to unlock our fullest potential while we are here.

[goodboygonebad]

I'm someone who comes from a place where fighting isn't really a thing, much less against monsters.

I know I'd really appreciate some kinda beginner course if it were available.

[badsunrising]

Your announcement is contradictory. Are you looking to instruct or are you seeking instructors? Saying you're not the best fighter isn't much of a sales pitch.

[silver_eyes_rose]

I WANT to instruct, but I know I'm not the best instructor. I could really use help on that front.

To be honest, it was kind of spur of the moment...

[badsunrising]

Spur of the moment?

It sounds like you could use some support with this.
Rather than criticise your intentions I would propose offering you that support. I have training with several different weapons and experience in conducting training drills.

[silver_eyes_rose]

Aha, thanks. It was spur of the moment, really, and I know others might have ideas to help expand on this.

[phoenixblessed]

I wouldn't even think to take over your idea myself.
But if you think you could find use in any guidance from me I'd be willing to assist you.

un: junjun

[takehold]

That would probably be a good idea.

All my fighting knowledge is for doing on as a show, on stage.

[silver_eyes_rose]

You fight on stage? Like a play?

[takehold]

Yes! I'm a trained actress and I'm pursuing the stage as my career.

[silver_eyes_rose]

Oh, wow, that’s so cool!

It might be a tad difficult to move from play to actual, but it might actually help you with both!

[takehold]

Maybe. I'd be a little concerned that developing certain instincts might translate poorly to the stage, but I'm willing to give a try.

[silver_eyes_rose]

Makes sense!

Maybe we can train you in something that doesn’t interfere with your own.

[takehold]

I do have some experience in archery.

[silver_eyes_rose]

Oh, that'll work perfectly!
