[Amidst all the people pouring in to aid in Union's reconstruction, one more newcomer is pretty easy to overlook. So, Suika's entry into Union goes pretty smoothly. The next day is where things get fun.

First step, when she arrives as the sun is setting, is to find anyone who's having a good time and join in. This eventually leads to step two, getting into Teeter's, which takes some doing given her appearance but is far from impossible. Being in Teeter's quickly leads to step three, getting into her first meeting with the Swords for reasons pertaining to bar brawling. The rest is a blur.

Whatever happened from there, it ends the next morning (ish) with Suika at the front doors of Swords of the Savior headquarters, or at least the first Swords-related building she can find.]

It's me, the person from the bar! I'm here to talk to your strongest fighter, so who's that?

[[Accepting threads at any part of this adventure - entering the city, extreme Teeter's revelry, getting harassed by the Swords, harassing the Swords the following day.]]

...I thought as much.

[He was kind of hoping he was wrong]

I really doubt that the Swords would be interested in a fight with a random, uh, bar patron, but you might find someone interested. Or, like I said, with the Calderans.

[partyfog]

Why wouldn't they be interested in fighting? You don't stay good at something by not doing it.

[warriormouse]

They usually train against each other, not whoever walks in. They don't mind training against me, since I was one until I died.

[partyfog]

So they have lots of fighting skills, but they won't share them with anyone but each other? What a frustrating group.

[warriormouse]

The Swords are meant to protect. If they want to spar against whoever, they'll do it at a dojo or festival. Union's not very fond of violence.

[partyfog]

All right, if I don't have any luck here I'll go find this dojo. Thanks for the help!

[warriormouse]

Of course.

[Martin smiles]

If you want to try against a swordsman, once everything is more...repaired, I might have time for a spar.

[partyfog]

I'm no good with a sword, but I'll still fight you later if you want. Where will I be able to find you?

[warriormouse]

Redwall, the big redstone building in the housing district. I'm Martin.

[partyfog]

I'm Suika. You've probably figured it out by now, but I just showed up here yesterday.

I think I'll still try to challenge the Swords for now, but let's fight some time.

[warriormouse]

That'll be fun, I think, once everything is back to normal, more or less.
