004 ⻰ THRILL OF THE FIGHT [TEXT]

[theimmortalweapon]

UN; DANNY RAND

Hi.

[He's so awkward and so bad at texting.]

I am turning the first floor of my house into a training space but I can't do it alone.

I need someone who can help work with wood or create training dummies, wooden practice swords, anything like that.
Also someone who can work with leather?
I am going to take a trip to collect sand for punching bags but I need the leather casing for them.
If anyone has training gear they want you can let me know.
We'll also be setting up targets and things at the back of the house.
If anyone knows fabrics enough to help me make matts?

Three of us live in the house so the place will be locked after sundown but others will be welcome to use the place to train or spar.
When it's done.

[Having a word limit is clearly messing Danny and his thoughts up.]

[oorah]

i've done all this before if you need anything.

( locked )

[theimmortalweapon]

You did wood stuff right?
You know what a practice dummy looks like?
Can you make one of those?

( locked )

[oorah]

yep
i've made punching bags and mats too

( locked )

[theimmortalweapon]

How the hell did you do that?
There isn't a lot of stuff here.

( locked )

[oorah]

there was even less where i came from
we can repurpose almost anything for fill

un: Earp

[unraisehell]

I have done none of these things, but can give you an extra set of hands and can get you animal skins for the leather if you find someone to work it.

un: Earp

[theimmortalweapon]

That will help, once I find someone to turn it into leather.

UN: Ty Rhodes

[succored]

I can help with the targets and possibly the training dummies, if you don't mind them being rough. How many do you want?

[theimmortalweapon]

I was thinking 2 or 3 of both.
Targets can be rough but the training dummies should be solid or they'll break.

[succored]

I'll try a few builds first and have you test them to see which ones are hold up the best. Are you only going to be using swords on them?

[theimmortalweapon]

No. Kung Fu.
I have a habit of breaking them.

[succored]

Awesome. Are you looking to train people too, or just open up a sparring space?

I'll make them as sturdy as possible then.

un: claire

[theluckygirl]

If it's anything like sewing people back together back home, I'll be there.

[theimmortalweapon]

It'll be less gross?

[Danny swooping in with the most ridiculous thing that can be said.]

[theluckygirl]

[ Somehow she expected him to say exactly that. ]

I've been training my whole life for this.

[ Sorry, Danny, she can't resist. ]

[theimmortalweapon]

I'll have to rely on you then.

[He might be joking, maybe.]

un: blake

[kingbellamy]

I could try and help. I don't have supplies but I learn quick.

[theimmortalweapon]

I have some supplies. Do you know anything now?
Maybe a place to start?

[kingbellamy]

Not really...

[theimmortalweapon]

We'll start with something easy then.

[Probably cleaning.]

When are you free to start?

[kingbellamy]

When do you need me? I haven't started doing anything yet.

un: Odair65, private

[fishermansweater]

I can weave mats out of fabric or grasses.

[ it's a few moments until the next message ]

I know a bit about making training equipment out of nothing.

un: Odair65, private

[theimmortalweapon]

Grass would be perfect. It'd be better than fabric.
What equipment are you used to making?

[fishermansweater]

[ There's a pause as Finnick considers his response. The message is theoretically private, but he doesn't trust that privacy, so he has to be careful what he says. ]

Different things. Obstacles, horses, dummies, targets. At home I had to improvise to train.

[theimmortalweapon]

Sounds like you're exactly the guy I need to talk too.

Want to do this in person?
