[Edgeworth, always attentive to details, is quickly drawn to that notebook. She was not speaking. Hmm.]

Very well, then. My name is Miles Edgeworth, and you are...?

[scribes]

[She pulls out a pen from her pocket almost automatically, and flips the notebook open to write on it. She turns it around so that Edgeworth may see:]

I go by Disciple. It is good to m33t you, Miles Edgeworth.

[prosecutory]

[He reads it quickly, and nods again - this time, to indicate that he understood.

...3's instead of e's? Well, at least he could still decipher the text...and that was a matter best saved for later.]

Likewise, Miss...Disciple. [Edgeworth bows.]

Re: Sparring

[scatterflower]

*Chika blinked, looking over at the very familiar boy who was standing there ready to spar against people.*

What are you doing over here?

[pridefulness]

Looking for someone to fight.

[ Said very in a very matter-of-fact manner. Like beating people up and fighting it's a normal, every day occurrence. ]

Open - it's more like the Oracle of Delphi

[kill_some_time]

[Whoever had asked Hades to help out with the soul-gazing and predicting people's futures had either a sense for humor, was a sadist who wanted to see as many people as possible suffer, hadn't expected him to agree or all of those three things together.

No matter how it came to be, Hades is present, sitting on a small rock in his usual unusual glory (which includes the lack of any piece of fabric on his body with the exception of the string with bones around his neck) and waiting for anybody who is brave or desperate enough to seek his aid.]

[scribes]

[At least she has grown out of using cat emotes and puns. Oh boy.

Disciple seems a little surprised by the gesture, as by the 'Miss', but then politely returns the bow. One more she write on her notepad]

I am unfortunately entirely lost as to what abilities BREW might have granted me. I've heard tell that often it is related to something you possessed back home, but I cannot claim to have had any sort of power back in my world. If there is anything I can answer to make this process easier please do not hesitate to ask.

[kingofdisney]

*Mickey's watching Edgeworth go through his routine, concentrating on spotting any mistakes that he was making... and sure enough, he made one. That said, Edgeworth picked it up immediately, and was right back into the swing of things again. Which was definitely good, that's for sure. He'll wait for a lull in Edgeworth's movements before asking a question.*

You're pretty good at this. Who taught you?

[scatterflower]

*Chika just stares.*

And what exactly makes you think that you're capable of fighting people who are training to fight in a war?

OPEN

[pishirogane]

[One shooting instructor now present and accounted for. She doesn't want anyone fooling around or smartasses attempting to take these weapons again. Your jobs as trainees is to learn how to shoot ranged and moving targets. If you need help, she's available.]

[Neji's acquisitioned a fair amount of space for this lesson, and it's notably separated from the bulk of training. He stands at the front of a tree needlessly checking over his supplies one last time, and tries to recall the last time he actually taught a class anything. The students had been only children. But he's done this sort of work before, even if it was still unnerving to have the attention of more than a few people focused on him at once]

Meditation is a subtle technique requiring patience and diligence. It's something that few master in any short amount of time, that most struggle with to some degree in the beginning stages, and so those are the natural key lessons for anyone hoping to learn it.

As most of you are aware, meditation is generally used for various physical and mental health benefits, and is often viewed as a type of relaxing hobby. While those benefits remain, meditation also nurtures a soul's strength and stability here in Death City- allowing individuals better control over their abilities, bolstering resonance as well as aiding in the resistance of the Madness Wavelength.

[He pauses to let the information sink in and allows for a couple questions before trundling on with the exercise itself]

When you're ready, find a place to sit comfortably that isn't too close to anyone else and try to relax. Turn your focus inward and let go of wayward thoughts and distractions. For this, I find monitoring self-regulation is easiest- focus on breathing and relaxing muscles, or for those with particular sensitivity, your soul wavelength. But as those options may not work for everyone, some may need a more physical focus point to start. The flame of a candle is a well-known method available to anyone that finds themselves in need of it.

[Neji gestures to small white candles and simple white saucers to hold them]

Try focusing for small amounts of time at first, and remember that any progress is something to build off of. Once everyone's settled, relative silence is preferred for this exercise. If anyone is having trouble, signal in some way and I will come over to speak with you.

[[Napkin already tucked into his shirt collar, Bakura was happily filling a plate heavy with all sorts of breakfast foods. Never mind he had already had breakfast before heading out, after the mission the other day he had been packing away food like a 90s shoujo heroine, trying to replenish his reserves.

Of course, this wasn't that much different than his normal patterns... until you realized that this was Bakura's second plate.]]

[motherofthesun]

[As the overseer of sparring today, Amaterasu sits and watches the other Guests go at it. She could join when asked, but her own co-workers wouldn't be happy. The last mission, she had received a minor injury and running from stampeding yaks had only aggravated it. BREW didn't enjoy her usual insta-heal abilities, but it wasn't that deep. This bandage wasn't necessary over her chest. She felt silly.]

[... Oh what was she doing? Observing Guests as they spar. Right right right.]

Clint Barton | Weapon

[withinsights]

[Clint sits in the grass of an open space in the field, targets around him at varying distances with a small arsenal of long-range weaponry laid out in front of him, and a sign that reads: 'good aim only' because he has unapologetic standards for people that think they're going use him.

He doesn't really expect many bites- doesn't hope for many, even- as this is all very sudden and kind of unofficial in the sense that he isn't sure he even wants a Meister at all. But he's been told in no uncertain terms that he has to give it a try if he wants to even think of himself as useful, so here he is in phase 1 of Operation: weed out potential.

Apply at your own risk]

Bakura Ryou | Weapon

[shiromadoushi]

[[Riding the wave of optimism, Bakura is really hoping that this time he'll find someone he can work with that isn't his doppelganger. After all, with each batch of newcomers were more potential friends and partners, right?

Name tag properly affixed, he takes a deep breath before starting to scan the crowd for anyone that he thought might work. Come on, good luck!]]

[bloodinbloom]

[Excited and nervous, Rosalia is stationed with the medics, looking ready to teach a small morning seminar on first aid. After the last mission, it seemed like lots of the Guests could use some help learning the basics.]

[No stitching, but there's thick gauze pads, hydrogen peroxide, cotton balls, bandages, and other various first aid supplies. Well, she had to smile and do her best]

I know it's really early for some people, but let's do our best. Being able to utilize first aid correctly on a mission can really help when things get rough and you can't get to the medics immediately. This is my first time teaching, but I'll try not to stumble over my explanations.

Duke Pantarei | Weapon

[radiantwingedone]

[ Duke is .... lurking, for the lack of a better term, off to one edge of of an area that stood near dummies that could be used to practice close range fighting styles on.

He's not particularly comfortable with this - and it shows - but he's also not particularly happy with not trying this at least once. ]

[scatterflower]

*Chika's going to be here, paying as much attention to Neji as he speaks, before going off to get started with practicing after he was finished, sitting in the corner and trying to just focus on the breathing.

It's... a lot harder than it looks, and a frown on her face and a furrowed brow will be very visible to anyone who decided to look.*

[maskednanashi]

[Well, he was directed over here to learn about his Meister ability so here he is. Honestly, Trowa's still fairly new but he wants to gather all the information possible about this place. Of course, that does include learning about his own abilities. Thus far, he's been unable to determine anything which means it's time to consult someone better at this.

So, don't mind him as he patiently waits to be noticed. He can wait politely until the instructor in this area is ready.]

Time for some moral boosting

[second_star]

[ Well, here was a familiar face. ]

Hey, Duke. [ There was a smile on Yuri's face. It was obvious he was kind of happy to see Duke around in this neck of the woods. ] It's been a while.

... oh dear

[radiantwingedone]

.... True enough.

[ Although why Yuri was happy, Duke can't figure out. Unless its one of those 'always smiling' things that he seemed to do. ]

[second_star]

[ Talkative as ever. ] You find anyone you think you can work well with yet?

[radiantwingedone]

[ Expected some sudden chatting? ]

You are the first to talk to me here today. [ Which means.... he's not found anyone, period. ]

Takuto Tsunashi | Meister

[tauborn]

[Takuto's looking perhaps a little anxious in the crowd, like he's trying way too hard to seem like just another guy that needs a partner. Also he keeps looking a little longingly over towards the Watch area, like any second he's about to bolt away.

So if you want to try to resonate with the Galactic Pretty Boy, you'd better make your move pretty quickly.]

Open!

[seadweller]

[Still unable to transform, Feferi is hanging out in the training field trying to find someone to help her.

If this doesn't work, she's going to throw herself down the stairs after brunch]
