[ What's up, everybody? Zack hasn't been on the network much, but he is today! He looks very serious and businesslike, though he does spare a faint smile. ]

So...I know we've all got a lot on our minds right now, but since it looks like things are going to get hectic again pretty soon, I figured now's as good a time as any to mention training.

Non-lethal techniques, self-defense, wielding swords... If you'd like to learn or practice any of those, feel free to contact me.

I'm also on the lookout for sparring partners, but as a fair warning, I hit a bit harder than most people.

[ That's a bit of an understatement, but he's not about to broadcast everything he can do, you know. ]

Anyway, just let me know if you're interested. I'm Zack.

[ Zack has never seen Samuel before, either, but he hasn't met everyone in his court so... It's fine.

He laughs. ]

I can definitely promise not to put you through a wall.

[ That would defeat the purpose of sparring...! ]

Do you prefer hand-to-hand or using weapons of some kind?

( hey, he's from a world where supernatural creatures routinely show up to ruin one's day. putting people through walls is basically vampire foreplay (thanks, tino.) )

I can do both. I teach Hapkido in Chicago, where I'm from. It's a lot of grappling and striking techniques if you aren't familiar, but I can use your garden variety sharp-and-shinies too. I'll admit, I'm better bare-handed.

( he's had a lot more cause in his life to punch people than to carry a sword, so. the fairbairn-sykes knife in his boot is an exception to the rule, and he's only used it twice. )

[colorofthesky]

Honestly, I can't say I've heard of Hapkido or Chicago, but I think I know what you're talking about.

[ The way he describes it, anyway. ]

Swords are pretty much my specialty, but I would definitely be down for some hand-to-hand.

[pridecroweth]

Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. Different worlds seems to be the order of the day.

( he's honestly more weirded out by the sheer volume of people from earth, truth be told. you'd think the universe would be a little more... diverse. )

Sure. Where do you want to meet?

[colorofthesky]

[ Zack has never heard of any Earth before so it would be a new name to him! ]

I'm planning to be in Kyst sometime this week if that works for you?

[pridecroweth]

Sounds like a plan. Just shoot me a compass message when you're in town, we'll make it work.

( he knows the compass displays their names, but it still feels odd not to introduce himself, so: )

And it's Sam. ( there's a hint of a wry smile in his tone. ) Samuel's for those times I drink the last Coke or eat the last cookie in the jar or something.

[colorofthesky]

Sounds good. I'll let you know when I'm around.

[ To the other point, he laughs. ]

Nice to meet you, Sam. Zack works just fine for me.

[pridecroweth]

( it's audio only, but that doesn't stop old habits. sam waves his hand in a vague, two-fingered salute. )

You too, Zack. I'll see you around.
