Video ❄ Waterdrop II

[watercharm]

[The screen blinks before a smiling blue haired girl appears on the phone.]

Hello, if we haven't met I'm Aqua.

I'm thinking of opening a training ground but I wanted to see who might be interested. I've worked with others before and I have a few who's expressed the desire to teach. I'm a master in my own right though I can't claim to know every style of fighting.

[Her smile softens.]

I know a lot of things have happened here and I hope this might help. There is almost much more to fighting than swinging a weapon around.

There is the strength of your heart and the light that it possess.

You're a fighter? You don't look like one.

[watercharm]

Really?

[It's true that she doesn't completely look the part, she isn't overly muscular and she doesn't flaunt her abilities but she's in shape and she moves with a graceful ease.]

Why is that?

Video

[kyoken]

You just don't look strong. [But looks could always be deciding.]

What can you do?

Want

[youfool]

"Thinking? You dreadful tease. Here I was hoping you'd completed it by now. Well, of course I'm interested, especially at that bit of mysticism near the end. My current...what's the word for a teacher of swords anyway? Mentor? Sensei?"

Okay!

[watercharm]

[Her own teaching is in the pursuit of fighting darkness though she knows that not many would see it as the entity it was.]

I haven't forgotten.

[She flashes a confident grin.]

I've asked David if I can use his training space in Nova City to start lessons. If enough people are interested I'll build a training arena in Genessia.

[That's the current plan.]

My official title is Master Aqua.

[youfool]

"Ah, Master! That's it; it's a good one. David has a thing like that? First I've heard of it, and I'm in Gestalt. Oh well; just between you and me, your enterprise sounds more fun. As before, keep me abreast of any developments. It'd be incredible if I was the only one who wished to know a sword, heart and all."

Of course he was already practicing under Ike, but you can't have too much of a good thing.

It also depends on if you have the skill to use certain weapons, because not ever weapon can suit every person.

[Sure he had practice when he learnt how to use his own weapons, but he did have to learn which ones just did not suit him.]

[watercharm]

I know some weapons, I hope to take on other teachers as well though I should be able to walk people through the basics of combat.

[She pauses with a smile.]

It really depends if they've ever fought before. Those will some experience might find these things dull or would be ready to move to something more advanced.

I believe in finding the right skills for each person. We all have things that we are talented at.

[behindthefakesmile]

Everyone does have a talent. Sadly though not everyone will have a talent at using a weapon, mostly because of there personality.

[He always figured Sakura wouldn't be good at certain weapons and in all honesty he always thought her for someone who wouldn't hurt a fly.]

But I could be wrong about that.

[firefandance]

That's an interesting way to think about fighting, I will admit.

video;

[watercharm]

How do you think about fighting?

[It's what she's been taught so it's what she knows.]

video;

[firefandance]

I don't know. I just think about what I am fighting more when I actually have to. The reason might seem different every time but the basics were always the same.

[Even though Belle figured she was better at reading books than being a true hero, didn't mean that she wasn't going to not ever try. This seemed like the best way as well.]

I might be interested, if that is okay of course?

video;

[watercharm]

Of course.

Have you ever been trained before?

[She's hoping to start at basics for most considering her skills were meant to tame the heart and the body.]

video;

[namemeansbeauty]

Not at all, so my skill in such areas are zero to none. My skills are learnt through reading, but as we know that is not the same.

[beauty_burns_gold]

[Have a yellow haired girl smiling back.]

Hey there! I'm Yang.

A training ground sounds interesting. Especially if you're going to be able to help. What kind of styles do you know though? I'm more of an up and at 'em kinda girl with Ember Celica.

[A hand and forearm appears in the screen before the gold band around her wrist unfolds into a golden gauntlet.]

[watercharm]

[Aqua smiles, she likes the fire she sees in this girls eyes.]

I know a few styles, my own is one that suits me and it's a mixture of attack and healing. I hope to help those new find their styles and help those who already have a way of fighting seek to perfect it.

My methods aren't as hands on but I can safely say that they are effective. I also hope to bring on other teachers.

[If someone wants a teacher in something she's determined to find it.]

Its also good to know when to fight besides just knowing how.

[strawberrypenguin]

Aqua-chan.

[Just the person he needed to speak to really. He wasn't sure when the best chance would be, but now seemed better than any.]

Is it okay if I talk to you for a bit? I... need to say something.

video;

[watercharm]

Of course. Would you like to meet?

[She doesn't know what he needs to talk about but if it's important they should speak face to face.]

[reluctantaccessory]

...Fighting? (Marie frowns.) I mean, I don't really want to learn how to fight but...would you be able to teach me a few things?

For defending myself? (Then no one would have to protect her all the time.)

[watercharm]

[Aqua smiles at the screen.]

I can teach you how to defend but is it alright if I ask you a few questions.

[It's just to get an idea of what kind of person she is.]

To start, what is it that you would like to know? I can teach blocking techniques or healing if you have a predisposition to magic. [Aqua doesn't know what sort of world she comes from.] Or simply the best way to escape.

[iambourne]

[Jason is interested.]

What sort of training ground?

audio;

[watercharm]

I don't have all the details for the one I'm thinking of opening. It depends who shows interest since the grounds would be designed for those who are interested and would cater to the skills they wish to improve.

[It also means that people can train without her being there.]

Right now I'm using an area in Nova City, they have a holographic sort of training facility.

[Aqua's grounds are more likely to be outside since it's what's she's used too.]

[the_heroine]

[She's a master? Just being good at fighting is intimidating, but being on that high a level...

No, he wants to be prepared and get stronger. If this was like a video game, he wouldn't get flustered by talking to her. He can't look like an idiot, so he speaks to her the only way he knows how.]

Are you sure you're ready to see my skills? If you want to that badly, I guess I could see if you're worth practicing against... I hope you're prepared to go up against a true master, Aqua-san.

[Why did he say that? He's never even talked to her before! He blushes and looks down and he can't ever show his face on that training ground and whatever comes next is going to eat everyone he knows now.]

[watercharm]

[Aqua only seems to smile at the young man. She's not about to discount him but she has her suspicions about his boasting.]

I would be honored to see it.

What sort of skills have you studied?
