ATTN: Crew

[windyellow]

Hey guys. It looks like we've gotten some new crew and I would like to get straight to the point. There's a lot of people here who don't know how to defend themselves whether they be kids, teens, or adults, but I think you guys could stand to learn some moves curtesy of the Wind Ninja Academy and one of their former students so anyone who wants to get involved with this let me know.

Rangers, even though this isn't mandatory I'd still like you five to at least watch a class or two.

Let the weak die.

Sorry about her. She apparently doesn't recall that people aren't born knowing how to fight effectively and actually have to learn how to do that that crap at some point.

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

Or we could not waste our time and focus on the people who actually know what the fuck they're doing.

[windyellow]

Dude, what's your problem?

Everyone here has different skills than fighting. Which is why we should teach those who can't fight and defend themselves, so if they get in trouble during missions they have something to fall back to instead of relying on others. Don't get me wrong, having others is great but if we start thinking like that, we're doomed already.

You seem to think making them slightly less incompetent will actually help.

[andyallgrownup.livejournal.com]

Why wouldn't we be going?

[windyellow]

Well... I don't like to waste anyone's time and make these things mandatory. I always found that it's better if people choose to go to Ninja Class rather than forced. But it's your choice.

[andyallgrownup.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll be there.

If its all right with you, I'd like to direct some of my Outsiders to your academy. I'm going to go too: I could always stand to learn some more training and I've always meant to collaborate with the Rangers.

Also ignore the person above. I SO don't believe in letting the "weak" die.

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

Don't come crying to me when your recruit slows you down.

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

If you're a good at training them you won't have to: they'll learn to adapt to you. They have to start somewhere.

And trust me, I'm not going to go crying to anyone.

[windyellow]

Cool, thanks!

Everyone has skills that can contribute to fighting the Ohm, the trick is finding out what they're good at and utilizing it. Hey, don't worry about it. There's no 'weak' people here. Sure maybe not all of us will make it, but that's why we do things like this. To make sure that we have the greatest possible chance to save as many as we can.

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

I believe the same thing. I just need to realize that some people prefer the "focus on those with skills" thing.

I'm hoping to get more people from The Outsiders involved in this. Any of them with a want to be better should have that chance.

[cow-abunga.livejournal.com]

Not really my thing, considering I'm not even remotely built for it, but I'll see about suggesting it to some people I know.

[windyellow]

Thanks dude! The more people that get involved with this, the better.

[potentialmonkey.livejournal.com]

I'll come, but fair warning, I'm only good at the Monkey Fu. Not so much at any other style. And I can't really teach it to anyone, mostly cuz it's all kinda instinctive.

[windyellow]

We'll see, dude.

In either case, glad to have you on board.

[farfrom-tree.livejournal.com]

Ninjas, really?

[windyellow]

Yep. You're talking to one, dude. I'm Dustin. You interested in joining the class?

[farfrom-tree.livejournal.com]

Oh, totally!

...I only just started learning kung fu and other fighting. Is that going to be a problem?

[farfrom-tree.livejournal.com]

Sweet! My name's Devlin. And yeah, I definitely want to check it out!

[encourage]

What kind of moves are we discussing? Taijutsu?

[windyellow]

I'm not really sure on the word you said, but basically... We'll be mostly learning hand to hand combat both with and without weapons, as well as Earth style combat learning to fight underground among other things.

I'm Dustin.

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye, I'll go. Er...will ye be explaining more what it is ye do in this class, or just showing us those moves?

[windyellow]

A little bit of both actually. It isn't easy to learn the Wind Ninja style of combat and some people learn better than others, but I think we should be fine.
