finchwoodacademyThere're still some donuts left on the first floor of the dorms. And the slide ramps haven't quite fallen apart yet, if anyone still wants a go. It's fun. Safe. Squishy, mostly.

HeyI wasIs everyoneLet's talkdfjkhad
Yesterday was ugly. The thought of hurting one of you is basically my biggest nightmare, but that's what we're facing, now. Last night Icouldn't sldid as much reading as I could and tried to come up with some constructive thoughts:
- Athletics Club is switching up its calendar. They'll be doing self-defense and first aid training. I encourage everyone to attend these sessions, even if you aren't a member of the club.
- I want to get with each of you one-on-one to go over some basic dodging and non-lethal self-defense kicks. Even you, Marina. We don't know what could happen to a bewitched Support. We're all combat trained, but I feel like there're some specific techniques we can zero in on. A smart attacker trying to get into your space is going to be deterred by the threat of a solid kick to the chest. A stupid attacker is absolutely going to be deterred by a solid kick to the chest.
- We still don't know much, but it seems like it took a moment for the "charming" effect to kick in on those who were hit with it. I propose we come up with a safe word - something short that you can shout if you can at all sense that you're being targeted by [...] whatever that is. It can be something as dumb as 'Pickle'. Just [...] even if we have a few seconds notice, that could make all the difference.
- I wouldn't expect anything less from any of you, but remember to be understanding both to those who were injured by squadmates and the squadmates who were bewitched. They've been through something awful.
- No matter what, we'll get through this.

Date: 2019-01-29 02:10 am (UTC)It does. But, that's okay. [...] Because we're all improving, too.
Re: Squad 12
Date: 2019-01-29 02:16 am (UTC)Maybe we should [...] all pay more attention to each other's fighting styles. It'd help. Both against shadows and [...] in case.
Thank you, Liam. For all of this.

To learn
It'd be cool if we could like
Just see what it feels like
If they could do fake magic bewitching during training or whatever
Squad 12
Date: 2019-01-29 02:42 am (UTC)Neal can Charm.That's an interesting theory. Know what it feels like before it happens. There might be ways to try that out, but they could be against the rules. You know what, I'll [...] check with the faculty. See what they think.Squad 12
Date: 2019-01-29 02:47 am (UTC)I kinda wanna know how they react to those requests now that like [...] we know about everything from before
People probably asked other times but maybe now they'd say yes if they can do it

And then it actually happened to people this time kinda

Squad 12
Date: 2019-01-29 02:50 am (UTC)The circus [...] kind of coincided with the Apple Festival? The dunk tanks? And [...] I told Mason to watch out for rolling boulders before his squad went into the temple, and then they encountered one. Anything else anyone can think of?

Luckily none of my previous scans indicate any of you are inclined to be weak against charming effects.
I'll [...] do whatever you ask me to.
I'm still here.Squad 12
Date: 2019-01-29 02:19 am (UTC)It's [...] nothing. I want to help. We'll be okay.
Squad 12
Date: 2019-01-29 02:36 am (UTC)Ideally, we'll know how as much about each other as we do about our own fighting.
We'll be better than okay.
You and I should draw up a training plan. Tie all this in.
Squad 12
Date: 2019-01-29 02:41 am (UTC)Absolutely. I'm all yours. We can create a focused plan while this is an imminent threat, then pare it down into something less intense that we can roll into our normal regimen. Once this door's closed.
Squad 12
Date: 2019-01-29 02:43 am (UTC)The better we are, the faster we'll close the door.
