Who: Sora
Broadcast: Open
Action: Blameless
When: After he wakes up.

[Sora has been asleep for the last few weeks and while others might be worried or upset at missing time, he appears on the broadcast and just seems kind of tired. He yawns and scratches his head.]

So... I guess I've been pretty out of it lately, huh? What'd I miss?

[Lucina has gotten more comfortable with the network the longer she's been on the ships, so she notices this broadcast pretty quickly.]

We assisted the people of Yaugar system with their problem and have now arrived to a new system. It's rather busy, but I would suggest that talk to your ship's crew before you head down.

[keythatconnects]

Thanks!

I know I should probably do that now but I guess I'm still a bit out of it.

Is that normal for this place?

[lacyprincess]

You're welcome.

And no, that isn't normal for the Fleet, from what I can tell, but this system seems to have an overabundance of pirates and if your ship has a Communications officer, you will have access to safer routes between the space stations.

Also, there's no air on the planet, so it's been advised to wear suits with helmets before you head down.

[keythatconnects]

[That was probably meant as a warning, but Sora seems to brighten a bit.]

Wait. Pirates?? Really??

[lacyprincess]

[Congratulations, Sora, you've been regulated to easily excitable like Morgan and Cynthia. AKA, you might become a younger sibling.]

Yes. There were pirates in the last system as well. These seem to be rather more violent though.

[keythatconnects]

The last time I fought pirates they turned to skeletons in the moonlight. Any sign of that happening?

[lacyprincess]

No, as far as I'm aware, these pirates are 100% alive. No skeletons outside of the ones they might possess inside their bodies.

[Sora, what sort of shit have you been fighting?]

[keythatconnects]

So fighting them might end up being easier than I thought!

[lacyprincess]

I believe that that is a personal opinion. I find it easier to fight the undead because I don't have to worry about taking their lives.

[She's all for subduing and injuring humanoids, but she is reluctant to kill them. It's all part and parcel of being a survivor of the Apocalypse. Or something.]

[keythatconnects]

Oh... yeah.

[He is a bit more somber for a moment, but then he gets determined again.]

Still, if they are hurting people they have to be stopped.

[lacyprincess]

[Lucina doesn't want to make him feel bad, but she's definitely a realist and she wants him to take into account what they are facing.]

I agree that we should stop them from hurting innocent people. We have the ability to do so and the people of this system need our assistance. However, going into it rashly is asking to be hurt ourselves. I would like to avoid that where possible.

[keythatconnects]

It's good that someone around here likes to plan, then.

[lacyprincess]

Oh, I'm not the planner. That's someone else's job, but I also know how to make sure to do enough in a fight to disable and incapacitate instead of killing.

[keythatconnects]

Do you think you could teach me some of that? Most of the things I fought back home were these monsters who came from the darkness called the Heartless, or Nobodies, so... Well, you don't worry so much about that with them.

If I'm going to fight real people though...

[That really is something he should learn.]

[lacyprincess]

Of course I can.

Back on my world, I fight both the undead and regular pirates and bandits. The undead we kill, the bandits we arrest.

Any time that you're up to some instruction, I live on the Heron and I'm sure that I can enlist my brother in some assistance. But before I do that, a name might be helpful.

[keythatconnects]

I'm Sora.

Thank you for being willing to teach me.

[lacyprincess]

Well, Sora, I'm Lucina.

And feel free to come to the Heron whenever you want. Or we can meet in the dojo on the Iskaulit.

[keythatconnects]

What's a... do-jo?

[lacyprincess]

A facility that is specifically set aside for the purpose of teaching fighting in all of its forms. It will probably be better suited for what we want to do, without risking being in anyone's way.

[keythatconnects]

Oh! Yeah! That's exactly what we would need! I'd like to visit there sometime soon. No telling when those pirates might be an issue.

[lacyprincess]

Let me know when you're available. I doubt that it will be just a day's worth of training, so the sooner we start, the better.

[keythatconnects]

What about tomorrow?

[lacyprincess]

That can be arranged. Is noon good for you? Or would you prefer something sooner?

[keythatconnects]

Noon is great! Much better than early in the morning.

[lacyprincess]

I have to remind myself that not everyone is able to function on around four hours of sleep a night and ready to practice fighting at the drop of a pegasus feather.
