[ Here's a face you don't see on the network often. Steve looks a little nervous, his jaw set at an angle that doesn't suggest anger, tongue slipping out to wet his lips a couple of times before he starts. ]

Hi, my name is Steve. Many of you I know, some I don't. Normally, I'd made a speech about this, but I'm a little out of practice with those. So I'm just gonna be straight with you.

I'd like to learn how to fight.

With sticks, with staff, with a sword. I'd like to learn archery. Clint taught me the basics but he's not here and that's a skill I need to hone. Payment can be in trade - manual labor, I'm good enough with my hands, or some artistic if I can find some extra supplies.

I'm in House 18 if anyone would like to discuss it in person. Thanks.

I can teach you at the Dojo. I have hand to hand knowledge but I also know some weapons too.

I could use help copping wood for the winter as trade.

[ex_enlisted288]

What kind of hand to hand? And weapons?

Hi. My name is Nida and back where I'm from I'm a certified master with polearms and qualified for instruction. That more or less works out to I can teach you how to use a bo or quarter staff, depending on length preferences. I also use Tanbo, but I'm going to need time to make a few quality sets of those.

Really don't need paying I don't think. Would mostly do it for my own sake.

[ex_enlisted288]

I would be honored to learn from a polearms master. Frankly, I'm willing to learn whatever you'll teach.

Hawke’s an archer. She taught me, she’d prob’ly work with you, too.

[ex_enlisted288]

Then I'll go ask her. Thanks!

What did she teach you?

[ataashihunter]

I can teach you how to use a sword. Or an axe.

[ex_enlisted288]

[ Steve is about to agree to the sword, but then Bull offers a second option and his eyes light up. ]

Oh, wow. I'd really like to learn how to handle an axe. We're talking something bigger than a wood-chopping blade, right?

Good with your hands, you say?

[ex_enlisted288]

Yeah. I was an artist before I was a soldier.

How are you with hand to hand?

[ex_enlisted288]

Fairly proficient. Two of the other village inhabitants are largely responsible for my training. You could ask them.

Will stockings be hung by the chimney with care?

And will St Nick have been there?

Important details before I decide whether to get out of bed.

[ex_enlisted288]

No and no.

But I dare you to disappoint Liv.

[ also what is that un? ]

If we can whip up some training weapons I could offer some sword lessons. Where I'm from I'm a combat specialist with gunblade mastery, essentially a modified sword. The swordsmanship itself is more important than the gun part anyway. I also have some basic hand to hand knowledge, nothing extensive, enough to get out out in a pinch.

[ex_enlisted288]

What, exactly, is a gun sword? The mental images I'm envisioning are a little frightening.

Where can I file a complaint

[ex_enlisted288]

Kiss my ass, pal.

You can file a complaint at the nearest trash can :)

[paidforit]

I can show you the ropes with swords. Daggers too.

You know where to find some?

[ex_enlisted288]

I can probably ask around. There are a lot of people here armed with sharpy, pointy things.

Dear: Steve

I am most honored to have been invited! Thank you!

I will gladly be there, though I don't think I know what Christmas is. Is that like the holiday jól that the Vikings used to celebrate? Do I bring something? Should I bring a brain for Liv or do you think that rude?

Also, I am very happy we are here together! It has made my adjustment to the village much better than it could have been.

Fondly: Thor

[ex_enlisted288]

Thor,

You're welcome. I'm not sure what jól is, so you'll have to explain it. Christmas, for me, is celebrating the birth of my God. And I'd ask Liv about bringing food, since she's in charge of cooking.

Uh. Thanks. Me too.

[womanofvalue]

Nothing could stop me from being there, not even another Tesseract.

...we don't have to bring food, do we? I'd hate to disappoint our hosts with my sub-par talents.

[ex_enlisted288]

Oh good.

Not sure, I'd ask Liv if you're worried about that.
