Video: Achtom 6th - Early Morning

[flawed_immortality]

[Cor was not intending, initially, to do this as a video. Such requests would certainly go better if someone has a face to go with the voice, can see the type of person they'd be working with. He's as stern as ever, even if there are subtle indicators that he's been exerting himself recently. The ever-present jacket discarded for once, sweat clinging to his face, breathing slightly elevated.]

I know I am not alone in being unused to such... quiet. I suspect many of you are from worlds where such unquestionable peace is not the norm. I am a soldier, as I have ever been, and there is familiarity in the discipline of body and mind.

[A noise off screen, an animal perhaps? Something dying? A lazy king snoring? The deepening scowl on Cor's face makes it apparent that whatever it is Cor isn't happy about it.]

If anyone would like to join me in the mornings for training routines perhaps we can teach one another of the fighting styles of different worlds.

[Again a noise, this time more like a chainsaw or motor boat than an animal and Cor takes a moment to wipe sweat from his brow, heave a sigh and his expression turns a touch apologetic.]

Also if anyone has access to a chess board or mahjong table they'd be willing to share I would greatly appreciate it.

A gun if I can, though if it's close, my knife. Especially if we don't want to draw extra attention.

[ Cor reminds him a bit of Daryl with how little they both dish out emotion. He knows better than a lot of people that it doesn't mean that they're assholes, just that they're a bit gruffer than others, and that's okay. ]

Guns are hardly my specialty. There's a young man here by the name of Prompto, one of my best students. He excels at marksmanship so he would be your best bet for practice on that front.

[Cor nods a little as he shifts the phone to his main hand holding it back so that when he drew kikuichimonji out of the armiger in a flash of blue light and shattering crystal sounds most of the length of the wakizashi would be visible. Even for a wakizashi it was still a good 18" long.]

This is the smaller of my blades but I have training with more traditional daggers as well.

[ Carl files that name in the back of his head for later. He'd have to pay Prompto a visit at some point. ]

....Whoa. That looks pretty big to me.

[flawed_immortality]

Yet only half as long as Kotetsu

[Which would be the JRPG sized katana that lives on his hip. You've seen that one before, Carl. Sorry, Lucians are Extra.]

[postocular]

We don't have weapons like that back home, really. My best friend wields a katana, but it's normal-sized.

[ Michonne was badass that way, but he'd never seen anyone else with a sword in the three years after the end of the world. ]

[flawed_immortality]

We have a large variety of weapons from the most simple sword and shield to far more advanced machinery. Again, you'd be best speaking with Prompto for guns or anything more technical. I'm perhaps a bit old fashioned, I prefer the simplicity and reliability of a good blade.

[postocular]

Talk to Prompto about guns, got it. I can't say I've ever really learned how to use a sword. Thought about it a few times, though. Didn't really get around to it.

[flawed_immortality]

Well we all seem to have an abundance of time to learn now, if you'd like.

[postocular]

Sure, I'd really like that.
