TRAINING ORGANISATION

[manmaker]

Hello everyone! So, Shang and Ping/Mulan are heading one of the training groups, and I figured I'd make things easier by doing up a list of who's in their particular training group. We're hoping to do more with this CR wise in the future because it's practically the only way Ping/Mulan and Shang will get it, and it would just be easier if we had some ooc info on the group available.

...and also I have realised that I'm really fuzzy on who's supposed to be IN said group. So uh, it would be REALLY helpful if all the guys who are meant to be training with them tag the post I've made. For you guys who are new and all - basically, Shang and Mulan train the teenagers and adults who are complete beginners or very inexperienced in fighting. It's something that Germany organised, not Shibusen, so it's definitely not obligatory or anything.

Anyways, said post is here, in Shang's journal (so if you want to find it in the future, just head there. I'll put up a link to it on his profile too). I've got a little form thing on the post too, just to help us remember pertinent details about the trainees, so if you're in it please go and full it out. (You too, Moony! Even though I...kinda half filled out Ash's for you orz)




(Also, because I am really fuzzy on this too - I know that while Adachi plot/insane weather/whatever has been going on they've been training in Shibusen's gym, but doesn't anyone know where are they meant to train normally? I vaguely recall some mention of training fields, but where they are I have no idea. And they train at dawn each day for about an hour, yes?)

o/ I'm just waiting for a day where I know there won't be any events (or events looming in the horizon) before I drop another training post on people, but you're right ashdkas it's taking me a while.

They are all supposed to be training in the obstacle course that Jake Clawson built (somewhere around the outer pink and outer yellow area, I reckon), but because of the Adachi threat, they've all been herded indoors. Hmm. And they train about two to three hours, I think? Since these guys sometimes eat breakfast, too.

*nodnod* Yeah, makes sense. Me and Eme were talking though, and we're kinda hoping to do some more smaller log posts / threads / whatever with just their lot - mainly because for Shang and Mulan, training is going to be their main method of getting CR, so we want to devote a little extra time to it. And actually remember who's in their training group

Thanks, I'll add that info to out post! <3

(Actually, that reminds me. While we're here - I know we don't really have many kids at the moment and all, so that training group is moot. But I'm not sure whether I want to keep Armstrong as leading it. Partly because I kinda find it difficult to play two leader-character at the same time, especially when they're essentially doing the same things. And Shang kinda needs all my leader-focus. But it would also be IC for Armstrong to help out - maybe instead we could assume that he acts more as an assistant in the training? Like, he'll help out when Germany or someone else calls on him?)

[thebestandwurst]

It'd be great if you guys could do it! :'D In the mean time, I'll stick to the big ones, because those are primarily for the new people + batch four psychos.

(We can assume that he helps Germany with the programme and stuff? And watching the progress of the batch 3 and 4 folks.)

[manmaker]

Yeah, we're hoping it'll work! And you know. Someday, when the Adachi plot is finished and they can actually be outside again...well, Shang making people climb The Pole deserves it's own post XD. And having both the big post and a few little posts will get the best of both! \o/

(Awesome, sounds good!)

[thebestandwurst]

8D Lyn was looking up obstacle courses. She found one that is really funny lolol. We can prolly keep some of the courses and then add Shang's (because the Pole lmfao, and whatever else he likes) and then whatever else the other trainers want.

(huhuhu! These two blond Germans terrifying people with manry...)

[manmaker]

Shang's training is pretty much...well, exactly what you see in THE SONG. Smashing pots with staff-fighting, shooting arrows at flying red balls, having rocks thrown at you when you've got a pail of water on your head with only a staff for deflecting them, long treks while carrying sandbags, standard Chinese matrial arts/sword fighting, and of course: THE POLE.

(THEY WILL BE AN EPIC TEAM OF MANRINESS!!)

[thebestandwurst]

The pole is the best. Hehehehehehe. Oh god, you realize who I'm signing up for this?

(OUTMANNING ALL!)

[manmaker]

I look forward to seeing the people in SC despair at not being able to get to it MWA HA HA HA HAAAA zomg, Watson!

[stalwartcane]

8D It would be funny if someone used their teeth. This old man has some surprises up his sleeves yet.

[manmaker]

PERHAPS SOMEONE WILL I shall look forward to seeing them XD

So tempted to have Rae teleport for the pole, pffft. He doesn't know he can do that yet though, and I dunno that I have signed him up for training officially.

[manmaker]

If Rae's in Shang's group, he would A) be all "wtf?" and then B) tell him he wasn't allowed to teleport.

Later on I think we'll have more IC stuff on the training - after the Adachi plot, most likely - right now I'm just trying to get some preliminary organisation done. You can always have him join up later though!

[mock-me-vermin.livejournal.com]

Yeah, right. Rae probably wouldn't use it intentionally unless he really needed to. Except at first for practice.

Okay, sounds good!

If you want help in training, Gintoki can help with uhmm... the basic stretching warm-up exercises. ;3;

[manmaker]

I'm afraid Shang and Mulan are gonna be pretty on-top of the training, so they're not going to need any help. But they will be making Gintoki into...A MAN!

I APPROVE OF THIS!!!!
