I know we're all upset by what's happened recently, but it isn't anything we haven't faced here before. The only difference is only the people with strange blood problems had to kill each other this time. Frankly, it seems a lot less dangerous than the Battle Royale. At least no one was required to kill each other this time.

Anyway: In light of the fact that fighting each other clearly isn't a one-off experience, I'd like to remind everyone that I'm willing to train people in fencing for a nominal fee. Free-style fighting might be effective with a bit of luck, but if you actually know what you're doing, you're going to stand a much better chance during events.

action: POOL, OPEN
[ Weiss stared at her communication device for a moment after she made her post. After everything that had happened, she didn't exactly.. feel good about it. But she couldn't stop and freak out every time someone in this place, self included, did something bad anymore. That wasn't a luxury that anyone who actually wanted to survive in one piece here had. And making money off of a desire to not die seemed just as bad, but if she could get enough people to agree there was a chance that she could up her income to a point that she wouldn't have to hurt other people too badly during events that she wasn't participating in just to survive. It was worth a stab in the dark to not have to stab people in the dark (as often).

Sighing, she put it away and stared out at the pool from the Lifeguard chair. It was still chilly and it seemed like the pool had low attendance for that reason, but every once in a while people came in. It was heated, after all, and this was certainly a less involved job than her previous position as a groundskeeper. Weiss played with one of the frills on her swimsuit to make sure it was aligned perfectly with the rest of them, then hopped down off of the chair to go put her feet in the water. No one was in there at the moment anyway, might as well get her feet wet while she waited. ]

If you take money, you don't get to laugh at someone being useless at it, am I getting that right?

I'm not going to go easy, but I won't laugh.

Sounds like a load of work

Not to laugh or to make sure anyone who pays me gets their money's worth?

Both tbh, especially with someone who's never fought in their lives

[ She may or may not be referring to herself here.... possibly. Vaguely. Maybe. ]

You've talked to me a couple of times before. You should know by now that I'm not prone to laughing very much anyway, especially not here. Anyone who undertakes training with me will need to be willing to work hard, but if they are, I can guarantee that you'll be able to defend yourself with at least basic techniques relatively well. How long it takes would depend on the person being trained.

Ugh this really doesn't sound like the kind of thing I normally would sign up for, but I want to die even less

Train me, strict master Weiss.

Does 25,000CP a week sound like a fair price? Considering it's possible to make up to 30,000CP a day, it shouldn't cut out of your budget too much.

For survival? Yeah. For everything else? Nope.

But since point A is in case here, yay for training.

[ Yay less money and more work - stupid death threat prison, really. ]

Well none of this entire situation is fair, but I think we all need to work within that if we want any hope of not being miserable for the rest of our lives.

[ Sorry Megumi. Weiss needs the extra money so she can stop having to completely destroy people and she figures survival skills in exchange for survival funds is a fair trade. ]

What are some good times for your lessons? We can work out a schedule that fits both our needs.
