Alnair Girls

[sistershoggoth]

( Hey. So I was talking to this girl, she's new like us, was thinking you guys could do a meet and greet. Favor to me, she seems a little tetchy. )

[ergane]

( A meet and greet? What are we, five? )

[sistershoggoth]

( She's super pissy and she'll test your patience, but the bitch obviously needs some friends. Are we the kind of people who just fuck off when somebody's in need? Or what? I'm ten years older than the lot of you, there's shit in your life that it just helps to have some peers for. )

[futurewitness]

( Of course, I'd be glad to. )

[ Possibly a slight overstatement but hey, she's willing to roll with this and see what happens. ]

[sistershoggoth]

( I appreciate it. I know she's probably not gonna be the most fun to hang out with, but she straight up needs some socializing. I'll owe you a favor for later. )

Rec Wing

[sistershoggoth]

[ Annie directs them all to meet up in the rec wing, hoping maybe they'll do some normal kid shit like play ping pong or something, but her hopes aren't exactly up either. ]

I'm just here to do intros real quick, not gonna chaperone.

[futurewitness]

[ What's ping pong tho. ]

[redheadcarrier]

[ A miserable game, apparently. Asuka's not super thrilled to try it, but she's here anyway, arms folded and glaring at everyone from her good eye. ]

Wow, thanks, Annie. You're so helpful.

[ Sarcasm!

But really, thanks. ]

Alnair + Murphy/Bellamy

[sistershoggoth]

( Meet me in the training wing, I will come get you if you don't show up. Don't make me do that. )

[ The threat is like a million teeth looming overhead in the darkness. ]

[wrackful]

( Yeah, I think I'll pass. Thanks. )

[sistershoggoth]

( John Murphy! Loser number one! First on the hit list. )

[deployed]

( Why? )

[sistershoggoth]

( Want everybody to spend some time training together so we're more ready next time our fuckin' addle-brained friends decide to sandbag us during a mission. )

[ergane]

[ no worries here, annie; there's nothing but sharp-edged pleasure coming from this one. ]

( More than happy to. )

[sistershoggoth]

( Atta girl, I'm excited to see what you can do. )

[ Annabeth already has plenty of sass to spare, that's a perfect starting place. ]

[servitor]

( Couldn't wait for the follow-up match? )

[sistershoggoth]

( I like to keep busy. )

[ If you know what she means...... Uuuuuuugh. ]

[futurewitness]

( I'm on my way. )

[ All business, this one. ]

[sistershoggoth]

( Good work, Luci, looking forward to sparring with you. )

[ She wants to see what the girl's got, real bad. ]

Training Wing

[sistershoggoth]

Annie's Official Overview
Here's the deal. Some of you already got the skills I think you need, and some of you don't, but I'm not gonna split you up because this is the crew I find important and reliable as of that last bullshit mission.

We're doing the shit together.

If you already have what you need, help someone who doesn't. I care most about seeing stamina and agility improve, if you can run and dodge you can probably not get yourself killed. For those who want it, we'll get somebody to do strength and combat with you. If you don't want to fight, I'm not gonna make you, but I expect you to be around to actually see what everyone can and can't do.

[ She rattles this all off from on top of a stack of mats, looking down at them. ]

Anything you're inexperienced with, get someone to do with you. Don't fuckin' injure yourselves.

[ She jumps down. ]

I will personally come and wake your asses up for runs. Zero of you can hide from me, I will drag you by your ankles to this deck.

[ A big smile. ]

Let's go, today's gonna suck for some of you.

OOC
Threading out training is mostly boring. I'd highly suggest summarizing the action in the background and using this time to chat about other shit. How much they all hate Annie for this is a perfectly acceptable topic of conversation.

Part of the function here is to do some sparring threads, if you don't care for threading fights at great length but value that training, I suggest summarizing it up with the other player and moving on to whatever else you wanted out of the interaction.

Summarizing overall what your goals are for the character is also perfectly fine, we'll handwave that those are pursued going forward. Use this space for whatever you want to use it for. Don't thread any part you find boring, ok.

Annie Stuff

[sistershoggoth]

Motivational Insults
[ It's not a secret that Annie has an awful, endless mouth. But did you know she can curse your mother in like six different languages? Pick an exercise and I will find something horrifyingly colorful for Annie to say while harassing someone undeserving. ]

Sparring !
[ Annie will do either empty hand stuff, or she's also decided she likes the heft of a pair of swords, their hilts chained together. She loves to fight, maybe her excitement is just infectious. Note: I like threading fights, but I am also more than happy to compress it down to a more summarized place. ]

Talking
[ Want to share your true thoughts and feelings about being harangued into training you may or may not want?! Go for it. ]

Anything else
[ Bring it, do it. I am here to tag with you. ]

noct + nyx; magic talk, sparring

[somnifacient]

[When Nyx approaches, Noctis is the first to speak. While he'd like to say he's given this a lot of thought, in reality, it just seems like the natural thing to do with a Glaive now on the station. He has no reason not to grant the man his magic; after all, the more malleable in a fight, the better for the whole of the Nest, right?

Still, there are some things that need clarifying. And thus:]

Just so you know... my magic isn't as strong here. You might have to relearn your limitations, because I'm going to have to do the same.

[servitor]

[The loose white clothing from his first day has already been ignored. The Kingsglaive uniform is his work, his duty. He could move faster and easier in something like this. It's what he's used to.

Nyx sighs a little.]

I hadn't been using magic for a little while before I got here. Trust me, I've been relearning how to do everything.

[He doesn't wear the Ring, no reason for him to even have it on his person honestly. It's really not his.]

As far as I know? I'm just a Glaive without magic.

Bellamy + Murphy

[sistershoggoth]

[ She gives it a good college minute. Bellamy says cuntface is feeling bitchy and needs a minute to cool his jets. Fine. Annie can understand that, but patience isn't exactly one of her better virtues. Sooner or later she'll be back, and if Bells wants to come along and moderate-- Well, that's his own fucking prerogative. It's maybe even a better choice than Annie's backup plan of bringing Shep and Nyx along to drag the motherfucker out into the hallway. ]

Murphy. [ Irritating, sing-song. ] Oh Murphs. It's time to get the fuck up, sweetheart.

[deployed]

[ Bellamy is the better choice. Or he wants to be. Someone has to mitigate Annie's...general approach to this venture. He's the more sedate half of this equation, though just as unyielding. ]

So much for starting out on the right foot.

[ Annie will be Annie. Hopefully Murphy's had enough time to reconsider, because he's not sure what the alternative is in light of how determined Annie seems. He leans against the curve of the doorframe, arms crossed, content to let Annie vocalize their intent for the moment. ]
