Morning Training Coordination

[spandexisyouth]

Morning Training happens every day in the city, and most days get handwaved. Once a month a log goes up to play out interactions and teaching. It happens from 6 am to 9 am, and I'll be putting it up sometime on March 2nd or 3rd, whichever is the daychange, real time.

If you want your character to work on something, drop them in! If you want them to teach, please, please let me know. Training could use more teachers and you never know what CR you'll end up with out of this! Partner training is especially needed as Tassadar is out of the city at this time. Are there any interested pairs?

The current lineup is under the cut, let me know if I messed up anywhere, please.



Breakfast: Provided by the combined efforts of Katakura Kojuro, Cinderella, Saya Tagaki.

Batch 1: Beginners under the age of fifteen. Taught by Prussia, Fakir, Auron, Steve Rogers.

Batch 2: Adult beginners. Under Saber, Kaoru Kamiya, Lightning Farron, Maito Gai, Tifa Lockhart.

Partner training: How to Work Together as Partners. Tassadar and Nataku. Maka and Soul.

Previously, when Morning Training went up, there was a partnership log that went up. With the drops and re-arranging, I'm not sure if this is still happening/organized?

Feel free to ask any questions you have as well as use this post for coordinating what you'd like to do!

Hi, I actually have been looking for you. I need to know about Fire Candy for possible plotting, please see this post.

[lionborn]

Hi! Sure thing, just ask away! (Which is probably easier than letting me ramble since I have a penchant for tl;dr-ing to hell and back. |D;; ) Do you want to know about the drug or the series as a whole?

/Clicks the shiny link!

[megitsune]

The drug!!! I just brought in this doctor who was kept captive for 3 years and forced to make opium that was so addictive it killed people. After she gets out of it her friends don't mind poking a little fun at her having a dark past, etc. The government also tried to hold it over her head by reminding her what she'd done to put pressure on a friend of hers. It's a bitter memory for her but it'd be interesting to have an excuse for her to think about what her drugs did to people who didn't die.

tl;dr if it were dropped over the network that there's somebody who's good at making drugs would it be a reason for CR?

[lionborn]

OHOHO ABSOLUTELY!!

Those three would probably fight right away over what to do with her. XD Ryoki and Haru would want her for the drugs and see no problem with anything of that while Leo... Well, he stopped taking the Fire Candy by himself because he got disgusted of what it made of him and his friends (he's chain-smoking now). He doesn't seem to judge others for taking it but he gets mad at it when he finds his best friend completely overdosed on Candy later in the series which is why I headcanon that he has developed a strong aversion to any stronger drugs as the substances themselves. (It's a bit complicated. ^^; He doesn't blame the junkies nor the dealers to an extend, but he hates that it's come that far with them and considers them fair goals for any mugging and the like.)

Tl;Dr: I think their CR could go both ways, friend or foe? He would be very much against her making drugs, especially if she doesn't want to and might even end up helping or empathizing with her. On the other hand he'd also have no qualms threatening or even attacking her if he thinks that the circumstances are different. (Like if there were a reason to think that she's trying to recreate the Candy. Leo is trying to get used to the idea to having to fight and kill in order to survive in this world and a drug dealer would be a perfect goal for him for 'practice'.)

Let me quickly go and find the pages that describe the Candy so that I can give you canon examples about it and what it does!^^

[lionborn]

Okay, short explanation about Fire Candy!

It’s a liquid drug that has been introduced about ten years prior to the canon point where the series starts. At first it was legal and even advertised as ‘safe’ but then people started dying and they quickly found out that it was 100% lethal instead and it got banned.

Taking Fire Candy gives you a real good high and it seems to be highly addictive, but it's side effect is that it makes anybody who has taken it die by spontaneous human combustion – at first their tongue melts and then they have still a few moments till minutes of consciously burning inside out before their body is turned into a bloody mess by a fiery explosion. The reason why it happens is unknown, but it affects humans and Halfs alike and can happen any time without any warnings, either right away or after years. The only sure thing about the Fire Candy is that it WILL make you burn and that taking it even just once is enough to make it happen without a chance for a cure.

There is currently going a gang war on in the series about which gang gets to control the distribution of Fire Candy.

/SCREAMING I love CR that could go either way!

Megumi HATES that she made lethal drugs and was responsible for deaths, even though she was forced to. She tried suicide and running away many times but was unsuccessful. Completely sure that she needed to die for what she'd done, she was advised by her hero and new friends that if she lived her life to heal others, it would make better penance than simply dying.

So that brings her to this situation-- how do you heal a drug addict who's doomed to die eventually? If she met Ryoki, she'd want to help heal him. However, she'd wholeheartedly approve of Leo's choice to stop taking the drug, even if that choice was to smoke instead, because that'd remind her of her own life. I really like the potential for her to be torn as to what's the Hippocratic thing to do, here. I think it all depends on how they treat her and who gives her a better explanation.

Is Leo against fighting also? That would give him major approval from Megumi as well. FIGHTING AND KILLING IS VERY BAD in her post-Bakumatsu world and she tends to think that these men who keep getting in stupid fights for no good reason are idiots.

[lionborn]

YAY BECAUSE SO DO I \o/

Her trying to kill herself would make any meeting with Leo kind of ironic since he tried to suicide less than a week ago in the game after reaching a particularly deep point and not having anything to live for or will to keep trying left.

Leo's pretty bitter so he'd probably laugh at her approving any of his choices or her idea of atoning to make things better, but he'd at the same time agree that one needs a reason to keep going and that one shouldn't throw their life away as long as one doesn't really want to die for sure.

Does Leo dislike fighting? The answer to that is yes and no. He enjoys it, both as a way to prove his strength against others and as a way to keep himself from thinking about things he'd rather forget. He also thinks that it's a necessary part of life - if you don't hit back people will keep picking on you, it's a simply reality of the world he comes from. However, I think it's safe to say that he dislikes hurting others. Does that work for her as well?

[forhispeople]

Geez it's weird how much these two might one day have to talk about. You wouldn't think they'd have anything in common to look at their canons.

It totally works. Kenshin and Sano (her two idiot heroes) are always stuck fighting but it's to protect others, or to get stronger, not because they gets off on hurting people. That's generally necessary in her world, which is a pretty dangerous place-- even though Megumi thinks it's rather sad or stupid as the case may be, it's reality. You can't just claim you're a pacifist and do nothing while others are suffering.

[lionborn]

Hehe true.^__^ She'd have to get him to talk first, tho, since he's pretty careful despite acting like an idiot most of the time. He'll readily give what he considers common facts, but past that he's going to be careful, especially after L tried to sound him out about Haru's past.

c: They sound like a good match like that! Finally somebody who doesn't think that he's a freak for not enjoying it too much!\o/
