... Hypothetically speaking, if someone were to look into finding somewhere to y'know. Spar. Train. Keep the rust off their fighting skills in case we get something worse than a sewer full of giant vines trying to swat us like flies for the hell of it. That kind of thing. Is there anywhere around here that would fit that kind of criteria?

What're the chances of half of those Knights they've got posted around here sticking their noses where they aren't wanted? Most of the Knightly types I've come across aren't the type to just nod and let a bunch of people waving weapons around get on with their day without throwing a tantrum.

And if that's the case and the chances are high... whereabouts here are they least likely to go snooping?

Or take the longest to get to. I'm not picky.

[ Hypothetically speaking, of course. ]

[ Watch him he's gonna do it. ]

Only if you get caught before you finish it.

We could ask, I guess, but.... if their response is to try and co-organise it with their Moon Knight system then that kills my interest immediately. I'm thinking less formal classes, more sparring to keep the skills already there sharp.

[badluckblues]

no.

don't fucking ask the government for anything. fastest way to get knights up your ass, guaranteed

[genrouzan]

Yeah, that's pretty much what I would expect. I want to avoid being generously offered the use of their training grounds, right under their noses.

And that's probably the exact sort of deal they'd end up suggesting.

[badluckblues]

exactly. they know enough about me, i don't need the lunar scientwhatever copying down everything about how i fight, too

collectively we have shitloads of chroma, don't we? seems like we could just buy up a place

[genrouzan]

Even if they do have "good reasons" in their eyes for making all those notes, it's gonna make people uncomfortable.

...

Hm. Probably? If it works and seems like something long term.

[badluckblues]

yeah, i still don't know if i trust them or not. it's just strange is what it is

why wouldn't it work

[genrouzan]

Depends on how many people show up as to whether or not it's worth dumping the coin into.

But I guess we could expand on things if we need more income. Drinks, food, that kind of thing.

[badluckblues]

seems to me like there's plenty interest

hey employ some of those healers so we can all wail on each other with impunity and you've got yourself a unique business model

[genrouzan]

There's already one person who's mentioned they can heal. That'd keep some of the people worrying about injuries happy, at least.

[schmisse]

I don't agree with Qrow all that often, but he has a point.

I think it would be best to have us represented in their society if they wish for us to stay here, however. A representative or two could work with the government as diplomats. That way, we retain our independence but also work with them for Chroma.

[genrouzan]

... Politics aren't really my thing. It's not a bad idea, but if you want to go ahead with that then I'll leave it in your hands.

I don't have the patience for negotiation, anyway.

[schmisse]

I can't very well volunteer to represent all of us who are stuck here. I think that there should be a vote.

[ Because she's a nerd. ]

That's an unsettling statement.

[genrouzan]

If you want. I'm all about keeping it fair.

It'd be more unsettling if I wasn't self aware. I'm not built to sit around discussing trade deals, or alliances.

[ He just steps in when people start using their political clout to do crime without consequences. I mean. What. ]
