[She's smiling. And, for once, she looks happy. It's a far cry from her last few network posts, where the smiles, if she bothered with them at all, were forced. Hell, she's practically a little ray of sunshine.]
And here I thought I'd never be so happy to see the cold stretch of space, but I prefer it to the cannibals. So here we are. [It's only a part of why she's so happy, but that's not for this post.] A concern I had back there - amongst many others - was the well being of those here in the fleet who do not know how to fight or are unable to. Many have offered lessons in the past, but I am not sure if those people are still here and if lessons are still being offered. If people are, please let us know here. Rather than having to scour the network, people can just go to this post to find out.
That being said, I'm willing to offer lessons to those interested. I strongly recommend people know a means of fighting. Using the guns the armories provide is all well and good, but if you can't access one or lose it, or if a fight turns to close quarters, having a means to fight back can mean the difference between life and death. I can offer lessons in basic hand to hand. And also in sword fighting, which I'm a fair bit more proficient at. I'd need to acquire training swords. Preferably wooden ones, but blunted metal blades would work, too.
Probably would hold them on the Iskaulit, in the black box theater. Place isn't seeing much use. And if people want to just come by and watch how a lesson goes, there's seating in there.
Thank you for your time. Here's to hoping the next stop is a tad quieter.
Private to the DA cast
So. Thanks to cannibal shenanigans, we missed Satinalia. [The horror!] If the calendar they use here more or less matches up to ours, at any rate. Rather a shame, but it is what it is. But perhaps something can be done.
Here's what I'm thinking. New Year's is coming up. And Wintersend is after that. Now, the three holidays are too far apart to get away with throwing one party for all three, but we could probably get away with throwing one for two of them. Either for Satinalia and New Year's, or New Year's and Wintersend. [Or perhaps one party for just one of them, but where's the fun in that?] I'll leave it up to you lot. A combined New Year/Satinalia one would likely be for later this month, while a New Year's/Wintersend one would be for later next month.
Oh, and this won't be anything huge. I'm not unused to throwing big parties, but... frankly I don't want to. Maybe just us dozen, with everyone able to bring a friend or two along if they'd like. With how well some of us get along, we should probably have a buffer in there anyway. [There's a wry smile. She knows how you all operate.] Let me know.

At least you're not Orlesian. You don't have to play the Game every moment of your life.
