we're getting a lot more inmates lately, now with some of us getting double bookings. seems like a really good time to start combat training/review. not sure who all has had even basic training, but i'd like to share what i know since fighting is one of the things i do best, and even on a simple level, self defense would be good. to avoid what happened with mr velvet. before he left us.

anyway, i've found and prepped a room down the hall from the pool. last door on the right. matted floors and walls. MWF at 8pm for an hour or so, based on the ship clock. we'll start with hand-to-hand and shift to simple weapons later on. if you've never fought before and aren't interested, i can separately prepare a defense-only regimen, but i'd have to know beforehand, so let me know.

best to wear your regular clothing too. yes, it's physical activity, and you'll definitely break a sweat, but i doubt the inmates are going to wait for you before attacking if they get the chance.


oh and if you're already familiar with fighting, then i could use a good sparring partner (or two). reading is fine, but i need my exercise.

[ ah, yes. The Hiding Spot. for Creeper Practice. ]

yes that would be okay :)
we'd have to find a time that Viktor isn't there though because he doesn't know me real well yet and i don't want to freak him out

okay i believe you
you have to tell me though if you ever do get mad at me because i want to do better
i can't improve if people don't tell me what's wrong
passive aggression doesn't work on me i am
VERY IMMUNE TO IT
