I've been reviewing some of your running times. I'm not impressed. We need to get some serious training in if we want to be ready to perform. I'm working on a new regimen right now. I want to get everyone on it immediately.

I've noticed a lot of different styles of both swordplay and dance here in Union. Is anybody particularly proficient in either? I'd like to learn some of Union's techniques, if possible.

How... how do you breathe after all of that?

I've plenty of experience with the sword. Not one of Union's styles, however.

Eli, you're a slave driverrrrr.

[But she appreciates it, in her own way. She knows she's getting better when the other members kick her butt into working, she just... also likes to complain.]

[swanna_lake]

If you're breathing normally you aren't working hard enough.

[swanna_lake]

Rin's... on another level.

[As promised, Eli is there at 2:00 PM sharp, her rapier belted comfortably at her side. She makes some inquiries and makes her way to where Martin is]

[swanna_lake]

She might be unconsciously handicapping herself so you can keep up.

It's definitely a different weight. Are you an actor, then?

I may not look it but I have some proficiency with a blade.

You look a bit familiar, sir, are you with the Steel Battalion by any chance?

[swanna_lake]

I wouldn't have to be if you would keep up on your training.

[ricericebaby]

R-right...

[Being an idol is hard sometimes.]

I'll try harder.

[nicocism]

Yeah, so she doesn't count.

There's no way Maki would though.

Yep! [Right grins with pride.] Right Suzuki, member of the Divine Theater.

[cutiepanther]

There's definitely no way that's true! I'm faster than she is!

[ Maybe Nico just likes to run behind Maki.... ]

Do you work it into your dance, or were you just a very elegant fighter before you started performing?

Eli Ayase, nice to meet you. Do you plan on learning combat swordplay?

[swanna_lake]

I had a thought, are you maybe slowing down so she can keep up?

[swanna_lake]

Well, we can test that theory if you'd like.

[swanna_lake]

Good. I know you can do it~

[swanna_lake]

I was a dancer first, so using a sword as part of my dance just felt natural.

I'd really like to see that sometime. We had something similar back home, but it usually wound up just being a real swordfight.

As to your question, I don't know about Union techniques, but there's an Archipelago style that uses a long knife in each hand, if you're interested...

[nicocism]

What!? No way!

[Not that she's... aware of... but there's a lot of things Nico isn't always aware of herself doing...]

Re: Video

[swanna_lake]

Absolutely! I've looked into using two weapons before, it seems practical if you can master it.

[Martin is there, practicing with Boar. Since his evolution a few days ago, there's been a lot of figuring out how to spar with a Doublade and not a Honedge, but they're doing pretty good!

Martin "disarms" his Pokémon and looks up to see the girl]

Ah. Hello.
