In light of the fact that so many Equestrians have recently obtained foreign powers -- either from the dungeons, or from our very generous Guardian Angel -- I'd like to take a moment to offer some assistance to those that need it.

[There's nothing passive-aggressive or malicious about his tone. He's just calm and matter-of-fact.]

If you're struggling with your new powers, or if you just want to get a better grip on ones that you've had for a while, I'll be starting up a class teaching those that feel they could benefit from it.

We'll be going over everything from basic discipline to training in the battlefield. There will be problem-solving exercises, and even team building exercises, taught by Rainbow Dash. Individual tutoring is also available by request, if group classes aren't something you're comfortable with yet. Everyone should have a chance to train with what they have in a safe environment.

Of course, there will also be free food and drinks before every class to make sure everyone is at their best, as well as desserts afterward for a day well spent.

[You don't get to be Dante's brother without knowing that some people are motivated by food. Besides, he loves cooking and baking, so it's a nice bonus to be able to work that into something else he enjoys -- teaching.]

So if you're interested, feel free to respond. I've been helping Gwendy by teaching a few lessons at the dojo, so I'll be replacing a few of my regular classes with these, to balance it out. The first lesson will be Friday evening at 7.

I hope to see you there.

I don't have powers, I think, but Gwen's gonna teach me how to punch the sun again!

Re: 1/2

[sailorlaughter]

...except not for real. Punching the sun is baaaaaaaaaad.

[thefreedomreign]

[O-Oh dear.]

Well, if you feel like you could use lessons on how to control your ability to punch things, you're more than welcome to attend the class, too.

[sailorlaughter]

Can I bring snacks?

[She probably doesn't need to control her punching ability; she just likes going to things sometimes.]

[thefreedomreign]

You can, actually! You run Sugarcube Corner, don't you? I'm planning to offer something savory before classes, and desserts afterward. If you'd like to supply the sweets, that would be great.

[Haha, she may be bored by the class, then!]

[sailorlaughter]

Oh! I can totally do that! What kind were you thinking?

[If nothing else, she'll get to watch OTHER people show off their cool powers.]

[thefreedomreign]

I think cupcakes might be a good place to start. Depending on the turnout, we may want to switch it up for next week, but we can cross that bridge when we come to it.

[That's true! He's alright with spectators, as long as they aren't disruptive.]

[kuukai]

I think I can blow things up now.

It'd prob'ly be good ta figger out how to work that.

[thefreedomreign]

[Ummmm, yes. Yes it would.]

I should be able to help with that.

Is it a fire-based magic, or a skill you got after using a transformation item?

[kuukai]

It's, um. Hayate's. I guess I'm a "Sage"?

[ Shrug. ] She showed me a little.

[thefreedomreign]

That's definitely something I can work with.

[kuukai]

Okay. ... uh, I guess I'll see ya Friday?

[thefreedomreign]

I'll be there.

[misplacedxsheath]

I could benefit from an opportunity to put Reuben to the test against something other than simple training dummies.

[thefreedomreign]

You're more than welcome to attend, but be advised that the class isn't going to focus on sparring as much as discipline and control.

Now that event has calmed down...

[misplacedxsheath]

Given the nature of this weapon, such things are likely to be as important as physical skill. Tied to my will as he is, I may need to adjust my methods for mental discipline. Not to mention the benefits to my Persona.

Should it please you, I would join you. I have gained spell matrices to study from Hayate in lieu of gaining the affinity for it directly.

In addition, I would like to study the nature of otherworldly powers, and what energies they draw on.

("...And why they seem to burn out stars" remains unsaid.)

[thefreedomreign]

That can definitely be arranged.

Since so many of us seem to have stumbled across different powers, I wouldn't mind if people wanted to come in just to observe, either out of curiosity or in the interest of education. As long as the class isn't disrupted, you should be fine.
