second solo mission

[hellofist]

Who: Cassandra Cain and YOU!!
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: the planet yo
When: pre-dragon excitement

So, uh... month's almost over. We'll leave soon. There's lots of... weapons for sale, here. Thought I'd offer lessons, if people... want to learn new skills. If you bought something, or have something... you want to buy, can help you learn it.

Last chance, before we go, to... get new things. Should take advantage, while you can. Waiting by job board. Can teach anything, so just... bring your weapon, and we'll start.

Can teach hand to hand, too. If that's... more your style.

Okay, That's all.

[Private to Stephanie Brown.]

[Or almost all. There's one more thing to say.]

You should come. Even if there's nothing... you want to learn. Want to see you.

Sooo, I've been training with that knife throwing. If you put a target on a wall, i could hit inside it about 95% of the time now.

[i'm still slow as HELL though]

[LOCKED] video

[hellofist]

[Her face is the PROUDEST FACE EVER.]

That's really good! How big... is the target?

[LOCKED] video

[everydayhero]

Paper plate-sized?

[he's actually been using the target.]

[hellofist]

That's good, after a tree. Told you you'd be... very fast learner. Ready for new lessons?

[mysunnydisposition]

[ Bright grin. She is so here for this. As much for spending time with Cass as any actual training they get done. ] I'm already on my way.

And if you don't teaching me again... I'd like that. We haven't been able to train together since... before I was Robin. Geez. It feels like forever.

[hellofist]

We'll fix it. You're probably... pretty rusty, huh?

[mysunnydisposition]

[ Snort. ] Not that rusty. I was still training with Batman until recently...

[ Batman's not up to Cass' level - no one is - but he pushed her. Hard. She's better now than she was the last time she and Cass played... she's pretty sure. ]

Give me half an hour and I'll be there, okay?

[ clearly the girl with the broken nose wants to be in on this. Six feet tall if she's an inch, and she definitely moves like someone who's pretty confident in her ability to hold her own in a fight.

But hey, she saw this and had to go check it out. ]

Hey. You're uh... the training girl, right? Get any takers yet?

[hellofist]

That's me. Have gotten a few, but there's... room for more. If you're interested.

[whereivebeen]

Yeah, I mean, I've had a lot of training for as long as I can remember, but if nothing else, I never turn down a good spar.

If you're up for it.

[ She hasn't discounted Cass entirely as a potential threat, of course - smaller people tend to be pretty speedy, and even with her enhanced speed, she's pretty big and they can give her a run for her money sometimes. Plus she's still only 17, still not a match for even her youngest cousins (at 45).

But realistically, she thinks she can probably take this girl. ]

[detectivewonder]

Need someone to demonstrate your throws and holds on?

[hellofist]

Hadn't really planned... to do demonstrations. Just one on one. Can throw you around, though. If you're bored.

[detectivewonder]

Well... there's only so much I can do practicing on my own.

[treasureling]

You're a warrior?

[hellofist]

Something like that. It's a little... more complicated, but warrior fits. Want to learn something?

[treasureling]

Oh, no, not me.

[forsometimenow]

I have very little combat experience, but if you'd be willing to spar, I need to sharpen my skills.

[hellofist]

[This may be the best thing to have possibly said, because Cass beams when she hears it.]

Happy to teach you. Everyone should know... something, to keep them safe.

[forsometimenow]

[Jennifer smiles back.]

I agree. You're probably going to kick my butt a lot, but I don't want to slack and let whatever abilities I do have grow rusty here.

[not having any idea that the person receiving this might have a problem with understanding it, he responds to the broadcast he's listening to with text.]

What about practice?

text - I'm sorry

[hellofist]

???????

text......

[mortalcoil]

Only lessons or also practice?

[catamite]

[and someone finally told Nel to go make some money if he wanted to buy stuff so badly, so... here he is, wandering over to the job board. he's planning on staring at it long enough to feel like he's made an effort, and then heading off to take a nap or something.

however, he spots the crewmate that he's honestly a little frightened of... which slows his approach, a little.

but he waves! and manages to put on a pretty good smile as he gets close--and it would be an effective defense to anyone who isn't watching closely.]

Oh... hey!

action

[hellofist]

[She's used to people being afraid of her, less willing to approach, but that doesn't mean Cass actually likes that. When she's Batgirl it's different, she likes to scare the people who deserve it, but when it's just her? It feels bad man.

So she smiles as Nel approaches, is genuinely pleased to see him.]

Hello. Weird place, huh?

[catamite]

[he nods! looking perfectly friendly, but still not wandering any closer. just a touch more space between them than he gives most people.]

Oh yeah, super weird.

I mean... I guess some parts of it are nice? But still pretty weird.

And I miss all of my... [and he just kind of gestures vaguely to his own face, where his piercings and pointed ears are being hidden by the modulator's effects]
