... 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. ]

I imagine they wouldn't leave well enough alone, same as anything else.

The outskirts of the city might suit your purposes. I'd suggest less accessible rooftops, but their machinery could reach it just as well as someone like me could.

Knights have to train somewhere, so then wouldn't it make sense that there are proper training grounds where they wouldn't interrupt you?

In my experience the beach seems like a reasonable option. I don't think I've seen many of the knights there whenever I've gone there.

[ Also she and Invi had a spar that was more like an all out war and nothing happened. She can't imagine his training being anything more worrying than that. ]

I’ve actually been wondering about this myself, but I do doubt that it’s going to be that much of a problem to get something organized. Well, hopefully, anyway. Nothing has given me the impression that this is a particularly authoritarian state or that the government has revolutionary movements to be concerned about, so I’m honestly more concerned about space.

Those vines couldn't even put up a good fight. Dealing with it felt more like taking out the trash.

I'm not a gardener.

Hey if you want an opponent then I'm game.

[killful]

Seconding the beach. My fights tend to get a little intense!

Whatever you're trying to pull, I'm in!

Is this an indirect slight against me? I don't recall throwing a tantrum in your direction.

[ Not that he's a knight anymore, but he knows Yuri still lumps him with whatever knights troubled him in the past. ]

I was able to spar with Elric in the park just fine without being bothered.

And he’s a small sixteen year old boy and I’m an adult soldier so I would have completely understood if the Knights had decided to break up our sparring. But they didn’t.

Isn't that what a gym is for? Of course, it might be against a facility's rules to not use a training weapon. Which you should be doing anyway.

[schmisse]

I imagine any open or secluded area could be used for training or sparring sessions. I've yet to read any law that prohibits such activity or that such outings need a permit.

This is a very good inquiry, though. I've yet to begin considering an area for my own training, as I've mostly just been working out in my apartment.

[badluckblues]

sounds like you need to take a walk to buwan's place, kid. those guys have been evading the knights for ages

beach is great and all but i guess it would be nice to have a gym where you're not going to accidentally blast the head off some prismal going for a dip

Hello!

(So that's how that works. Okay, now that she's got that sorted out...)

If you are to be fighting a fair bit, spar or not, should you not also invest in befriending those who are gifted enough to alleviate your aches and pains?

(She doesn't sound half as annoying in text at least. She's got that going for her.)

[erranthero]

I've run through forms at the training portion of the arena and on the beach. I haven't, and can't, exactly spar with live weapons but I imagine those places would be fine.

suspicious.

knights are bad?

I don't see why fighting would be a problem as long as all parties knew you were fighting in a proper duel.

[Says the girl from some weird chivalric land where there are duels and shit but no knights. Just the police.]
