Know your Place

[Action]

[Alexei is spending some time out over at the battle dome during the morning hours, in his usual cloak and mask disguise. He wasn't there to train though, he was there to visit the medical center. He stops at the entrance to take a look around the empty room. Hm...the flowers were still there. He'll probably be around the center for a little while longer to refill the vase with fresh water.

Once he finishes his business there, he'll make his way back to CB1, returning sometime mid-day. He decides to write up an entry once he was settled back in his room]

[Written]

Everyone returning to normal now? Anyone want to share any interesting stories for the week? If you were affected, what did you end up turning into?

[...It's been eerily quiet at House #29 lately. The quiet isn't something new to Alexei, or a bother, but it's just strange when you now share the place with someone else that wasn't there. He taps his pen, sitting at his desk and glancing at the blank page in the journal. He's been meaning to talk about something to the general public that he's been holding off for quite some time. Though, it's been a while since the first draft and there hasn't been another...hm.

He just leans back in his seat for a moment, out of the journal's view. People can probably hear several loud banging sounds and then some not so pleasant words being blurted out. Alexei comes back into view again, a hand pressed against his forehead. For a moment there he thought...]

...This is ridiculous. [After deciding that he probably shouldn't broadcast this through voice, he starts to write]

To the residents of Luceti. My name is Alexei and I know it's been some time since this was discussed, but while we have some downtime, I think this is an opportune time to re-establish the topic about teaching non-combantants how to fight. I know it's been some time since the first draft, however I don't think it will be the last.

The intent for this project was to ensure those with no knowledge of combat who are forced into the draft are able to at least defend themselves. This may also be beneficial in other areas besides the war, enemies within Luceti itself for example. Gaining this knowledge may not defeat the pursuer, yet it may offer time long enough for the right people to come and aid them.

The question now is, to the inexperienced, would any of you be interested in attending these sort of classes to learn the basics of combat and self defense?

To the people who had expressed interest to teach before, are you still interested? If anyone would like to teach in any form of combat, please bring it up with me and tell me your area of expertise. I have an ideal place in mind where classes can be held, but I rather further discuss it off journal. We can decide a time for all of us to meet and properly discuss this if there are people who want this to happen.

[Alexei has been...playing hermit for the past week, honestly not in the most talkative mood and trying to get his mind off of the things had gone down for the last two weeks. He figures it was probably a good time to check up on something]

Razette, how's your writing coming along?

[This is both voiced and written out. He seems to be expecting Razette to respond in a written format. If anyone else feels like bothering him, go ahead.]

[There are sounds of someone going through papers. It stops abruptly and then Alexei's voice could be heard]

A letter? [this would be the sounds of him about to read it, but instead there's a loud booming sound of his door being forced up and footsteps]

Who-...What is the meaning of this!? [there are more sounds of footsteps. Somewhere in there, Alexei's laughing could be heard] Oh, I see now... [it went quiet. No more voices will be heard besides the sounds of quick footsteps coming and leaving his room.]

[anyone who happens to be looking at the journal, someone's decided to start drawing in theirs. They're not simple doodles either. They were well thought out drawings of various roof designs, all over the same looking building. Notes and calculations were place in various spots and other drawings would end up being scratched out soon as they're drawn out. A list of various words were written in the corner and more were added or crossed off every once in a while.]

Water flows downward at an angle
openings in glass
Collected through the channel [arrows pointed to an area of a drawing]
Slanted roof so debris can easily fall off.
Durability check on windows.
Flat horizontal roof to collect water
Water collected through containers beneath glass
Release through a mechanic onto plants.

[Action-Durr, knew she forgot something]

[anyone who's out in the village will find Alexei sitting sitting under a sort of pavilion near the library. He was working rather diligently, writing or drawing something in his journal. Feel free to come by and see what he's doing and have some tea]
