Looking For Group, PST - Open

[nanaimo_bar]

[Once Nanamo had figured out the Mognet, it was childsplay. And the alphabet was close enough to her own that it was easy to write.

Mind you, it wasn't perfect, but she sent a message to the general public. In the way she knew how.]


LFG 2 Tutors in the sword and magical affairs. Must be competent healer and red mage. Teaching how to backflip is a must.

I am in need of a tutor in the martial ways. My dear friends from home are doing their best, but I could use a secondary assistance to the problem.

Required: Skill with the blade
Required: Skilled with curative magics and/or casting of them

Compensation will be discussed upon arranging a tutor.

Sincerely, Her Grace,
Nanamo Ul Namo

[There we go now to hit send.]

[Yeah. She gets that. Commiserates, even. It wasn't until she was about to lose everything when Makoto really start to understand what was important and what she would to for herself and others.]

You've thought a lot about this, haven't you Ul Nam-sa...

Ul Namo-sama.

[nanaimo_bar]

Mmm, I have. The old me, would have bullied on ahead and be damned the consequences.

The new me, the one tempered by time and experience tells me that learning new skills in order to further my abilities as a young ruler would be key in learning how to become a good ruler.

And please, call me Nanamo. T'would be ideal in such a situation we are in.

[studdedcouncilprez]

Nanamo, then.

I agree, but I would also suggest that you maintain the utmost caution. Real combat is not the same as sparring. Real combat is brutal, painful, and alarming. You will see your friends hurt and will bear witness to a frame of mind that would see the elimination of opponents.

I do not question your convictions or the merit of your goals. I speak only of my experiences and wish to convey to you the severity of what you are aspiring to do.

[nanaimo_bar]

Of course. It would not be good if were to fall in battle. Tis naught a sparring as you said. Which is why I seek to soothe the wounds of those who require it, rather than to attend to the front line. I am under no illusions that this will be a hard road ahead.

[studdedcouncilprez]

Indeed.

Well, I might have been hoping to prepare you a little too.

I'm glad to hear it was not necessary.

[nanaimo_bar]

I have had a brush with death once, tis naught a feeling I wish to repeat.

[studdedcouncilprez]

I'm... sorry to hear that.

[And she totally understands, though she wasn't about to start talking about that experience.]

...we'll just have to make sure that something like that never happens again.

[nanaimo_bar]

Of course. And thus for me to learn Esuna just in case.

[Cause no one wants a round two with poison. No one.]

[studdedcouncilprez]

Ah... remind me again what that does?

[Which is a bit of a trick. She didn't know what it was, but found that to be an excellent way to cover for her lack of knowledge.]

[nanaimo_bar]

It removes poisons, toxins and detrimental effects from a single target.

[studdedcouncilprez]

[Oh, so Amrita Drop.]

Yes, that is a very useful skill to have. Even a carefully made plan can be completely ineffectual when one person is afflicted with a negative status.

[And giving the matter some thought.] You may be right on the lack of healers. I used to be one, but the rules of this world did not allow me to have that power and keep my normal way of fighting.

Though eventually there may be ways around that.

[nanaimo_bar]

It seems to be in the base abilities of the White Mage. A lucky thing to have, considering the time spent utilizing it.

We will have to ensure then that whoever we party with will have means of sustaining themselves, as well as our own healing ability supplementing it.

[studdedcouncilprez]

Hmm... that's true.

Nanamo, I have a thought. Have you ever had the opportunity to work with another group as a party?

[Given her position, Makoto suspects not. Still, there may be a reason to in her world...?]

[nanaimo_bar]

Not in a group capacity. I have traveled many a malm, and yet I have to see combat for myself. I have recruited tutors in order to teach me how to fight in a real setting, but it is slow going.

[studdedcouncilprez]

I have a suggestion, then. I would recommend for your first outing you should be with people that have had past experience and may be able to protect you should the situation is dangerous.

If it is alright with you, I would not mind offering my services in this regard. I have had a few experiences in dungeons and am not too bad at a fight. While I may not be able to offer you much in your magic, I could do my best to make sure you are safe.

[nanaimo_bar]

I would accept this offer, thank you. Without a suitable aid, I would possibly end up face down in the mud due to some unforseen mechanic.

[studdedcouncilprez]

Excellent. I hope I will meet your expectations.

Though keeping our faces away from the mud is setting the bar quite low, I will do my best to make sure that does not happen.

[nanaimo_bar]

Of course! Shall we meet later to discuss training then? I am ready whenever you decide it is time.
