Know your Place

[Alexei has been observing the oddity that has be-fallen onto the land of Luceti. This was...clearly another experiment, but he didn't seem to be effected by it this time. Quite fortunate for him.

It was also...very exploitable as well. So he decides to have a little fun with it. Perfectly harmless and might prove to be entertaining to see what happens. So he dons his old disguise, opening his journal and starts to write, carefully choosing his words.]

[Pretend filter to the entire community]

To the brave heroes and heroines of Luceti. My wife, son and daughter, have all been taken away from me by a dark warlord. I was much too weak to fight such a dangerous warlord and could do nothing, but watch helplessly as they were stolen from me. Even my face has been distorted by that horrible man.

I can do nothing but now ask for your help to get my family back. You will be rewarded graciously for your efforts, my son or daughter's hand in marriage for your heroic efforts. If that is not a suitable reward for you, I am willing to give you something else. Anything to see my family again.

If you wish to accept this daunting request, please contact me on a private filter. I do not wish for our conversation to be intruded on by unwanted eyes.

[ooc: You guys can reach him anytime, anyday during the rest of the event. :)b]

[...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.
