Winter Training Camp v. 1.0 - Week Three
WHO: Winter Schnee, Hamusuke, Young Link, Navi, Ted Satchel, Mael Radec, Eleanor Hume
WHAT: Week three begins! Once a day, recruits are expected to spar with each additional recruit for a minimum of fifteen minutes. More time for sparring is allowed, but recruits may not retire for the evening until all other recruits have completed their drills. Use of additional powers and abilities are prohibited at this time; use only the weapons provided to you to complete your sparring sessions. Throughout this week, Captain Schnee will spend half an hour per day with each recruit between sparring sessions to critique and improve form, technique, footwork, and other necessary components to successful combat. Drills will continue on a daily basis for the rest of the training regiment, albeit at a lesser degree to focus on other necessary tasks.
WHEN: November 18th - 23rd, 2017
WHERE: Fayren
Winter had given the men and women in her group quite a bit of freedom the previous week. So long as they followed their instructions, she saw no need to monitor each and every one of them, but she did occasionally stroll through town to ensure that people were doing what they were told and not using the time granted to them for frivolous purposes.
Apparently some had failed to resist that temptation, because bright and early on Saturday morning, there were two fewer tents in the camp, with no explanation as to their absence. They'd been lectured severely and dismissed with no illusions that they might someday return to try again. If Winter couldn't trust her people to take responsibility for themselves when they weren't under direct supervision, then they could not be trusted to perform their duties seriously.
After the drills, she went from recruit to recruit to hear their reports and evaluate the information they'd gathered. She scarcely expected to learn anything new, but it would be interesting to know which guardians had been accommodating, and which ones could not be depended on under any circumstances to lend aid when it was needed.
It was mid-afternoon when everyone was called to assemble in the center of camp, and told to fetch the weapons they'd been assigned. Once everyone was in formation, Winter got straight to the point. "This week will focus on the basics of combat. Most of you have at least a rudimentary understanding and some level of experience, else you would not be here in the first place. You will be assigned a partner. For at least fifteen minutes you are expected to spar with this person, regardless of any disparity between your skill levels, before you rotate to the next. Once you have completed combat with every recruit at least once, you may spar with anyone you please for the rest of the day."
She clasped her hands behind her back, pacing before them. The particularly astute might notice that Winter seemed slightly more agitated and restless, but as for the reasons, she gave none.
"Each of you will also be allowed time with me for a personal evaluation. I will tell you your strengths, as well as list your shortcomings. Work to improve. And remember," she narrowed her eyes, "the use of abilities, powers, and skills possessed beyond the mundane level are prohibited. You must focus instead on your footwork and grow accustomed to the ordinary rigors of battle. If you have questions or a need for clarification, ask now."
[OOC: Everyone make a top level, and then tag other people's to initiate a spar with them. Other non-sparring threads are fine too!]

The flying fairy seemed nimble and quick with her wings but she didn't seem like she could hold a weapon.
There was the red-head female who seemed keen on observing him. He was observing his M-23 combat knife calmly. He looked back up at her, saying nothing. She seemed likea capable fighter in her own right, but the fighters seemed largely female.
Then there was the smaller kid Link who tried to lighten things up in a way. He seemed like a carefree boy, but looks could be deceiving as all things would be revealed in time.
And there was Ted, the man who had come up to him. His own enthusiasm to learn mirrored his own .. in a way. However, Radec could never admit it.
Then there was the fuzzy animal, Hamusuke. He eyed the claws of the creature and nodded. Looks can be deceiving. ]
