journal 🌸 dreamotion training!

[indolentaxe]

Hello everyone! Hilda here. ♥

After all of the craziness with the dream thing from last month and everything, I was wondering if there are other people who were surprised to find their dreamotion abilities kind of... lacking.

[Someone slacked off a bit too much, she's realizing!]

Would people be interested in getting together and practicing? I'm not thinking anything violent like fighting. Maybe we could create something cute and practical or something.

Those of you who are in, let me know.

[Wise course of action, he would have told her to stop and ignored most of it until they could better hash out things.]

I'm more well versed in military-esque training regimens, but the general organization shouldn't be too different.

Just let me know once you've determined a more definite list, and I can also help give advice or suggestions on what's possible or not. The focus is on something more...relaxed, practical, and creative, correct?

[indolentaxe]

That's right. Although a lot of people are asking for fight training, so maybe we should set up a station for that too.

[SHE GUESSES.]

I actually attend a military academy back home, so I'm thinking I'll at least be able to follow where you're coming from with all that.

[flamekthunder]

It wouldn't be a bad idea, however we'd need to ensure there is a controlled environment in case things get out of hand.

But you say you were in the military academy... So still a student?

[indolentaxe]

[Controlled environment, huh? That makes sense--like the training grounds back at the Academy.]

I guess so. Is that something you know how to set up?

And I am! We're scheduled to graduate soon, though, and hopefully I can forget all about having to fight battles and stuff. It's exhausting!

[That will not be happening. Joke's on her!]

[flamekthunder]

Hm... It'll be a little more difficult as everyone's abilities are likely more unpredictable, but I can think of a few ideas, including having it separated at a distance so should the worst happen it will just affect the one area. It'll allow me to practice creating some barriers as well.

What are you specializing in?

[indolentaxe]

I guess that sounds like it would work.

[She actually isn't following very closely and is just deferring to his expertise at this point. This is why she has a low Authority value.]

As much as I want to say that I'm specializing in "avoiding practice," I guess you're looking for an actual answer. Right now I'm training as a warrior. Put on some armor, swing my axe, take down the bad guys. That kind of thing.

[flamekthunder]

[It's fine, he can work with that.]

It sounds like you don't actually want to be part of the academy. If so, why are you there?

[indolentaxe]

You would be right.

But my family sent me, since it's kind of important that all noble families send their children to get the best education in leadership and tactics or whatever. It's tradition, and important to the Church besides. So I'm at the academy whether I like it or not.

At least I like most of my classmates.

[flamekthunder]

I see. Although I was never in an academy, there are a few in my world and it sounds similar to them.

What do you plan to do when you graduate?

[indolentaxe]

Get married, I guess? I'm not in line to inherit House Goneril--thank the goddess--so finding a good husband is probably the last obligation I've got.

Or maybe my family can be talked out of the whole 'you need to find a man' thing and I can travel Fódlan and do what I want. That'd be really nice.

[flamekthunder]

[He's from a world where that kind of scenario is common so he's not so surprised...though it's still not something he expects to hear about. But it is confirmed she's of some kind of aristocratic or noble lineage.]

Is traveling what you really want to do?

[indolentaxe]

It is! I think it would be fun, getting to see new places and eat delicious foods and see what they have in their markets.

Do you like to travel?

[flamekthunder]

Rather than like... It's more routine for me to travel to different places, so I don't really think too much of it.
