30 - [voice] Being responsible...?

[forged_anew]

[Click. A few seconds pass, along with some quiet, awkward throat-clearing]

Hey, everyone. So I guess people probably noticed, but my unc-- uh, Iroh's been taken home.

[paaause. He doesn't sound happy, but he continues in a more businesslike for Zuko tone]

I know he ran the martial arts school, and I figured since he's my uncle and everything, and because I know there were quite a few people who went there, I can take over.

I can't do it right away since I'm kind of in the hospital still but things will resume as usual once I get back. If the other instructors want to continue so classes don't have to be canceled, that'd be really appreciated.

Speaking of which...

Would you guys mind telling me exactly who teaches and who the students are? Uh, this might be more complicated than I thought. Oh, and if anyone new wants to teach or join, that would be good too. Just let me know.



((OOC: Basically, Zuko's taking over Iroh's martial arts school as soon as he's well enough to stand up, the idiot. Please refer to this OOC post for more details and comment both IC and OOC if you would, to help me keep things organized. If anyone wants to join the classes or teach a class, let me (and/or Zuko) know, and we'll set you up with something. Also, things aren't restricted to what's listed. If you have an awesome class you want to teach, that can be arranged. :|b ))

I'm going to teach or help teach general martial arts, kunai fighting/throwing, and Monster Avoidance! But you already knew that. I haven't had a chance to ask for students, but perhaps I could make a post for that?

Anyways, Naruto's going to be helping me teach, as he's my son and knows this stuff already. Angeal might agree to teach or help teach swordplay.

[forged_anew]

Okay, I can fit all that stuff into the schedule. There are beginning to advanced general martial arts classes, so you can just choose which you want to help at?

Maybe Monster Avoidance can be part of the beginner's class?

Well, Umi and I teach swordsmanship, but Angeal's welcome to come help too.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

I could probably help at both, actually.

And yes, that could work, too. It's just something I really want to get out there. Like how to stay downwind, how to tell when something's been by recently, and how to move quietly.

I think his style would be different, so he might better match some students than either of your styles. His sword's taller than Naruto.

I've been going to the beginning classes for a long time now.

[forged_anew]

Okay, thanks.

What's your name? I'm just trying to keep track of students and stuff.

Takato Matsuda. I'm staying in Latimir now.

[embracethewaves.livejournal.com]

So he's really gone, huh?

[...] I've been teaching there for...jeez, a while. Prydain and Haseo, too. We could look after things until you're out of the hospital, so don't worry about it.

[forged_anew]

Thanks, Umi.

You teach sword, right?

1/2

[embracethewaves.livejournal.com]

Hey, don't mention it. To tell the truth, I could use all the extra practice I can get lately. Yep! Fencing and basic swordfighting.

[embracethewaves.livejournal.com]

[...]

I'm sorry he's gone, though. I'm gonna miss him a lot, and I know I'm not the only one.

[whatthefactor.livejournal.com]

Hmm.

[forged_anew]

Hey. You interested?

[whatthefactor.livejournal.com]

Somewhat; however, it's unlikely with my addition that there'd be much teaching actually going on.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

So Iroh-sensei really isn't just being quiet, huh?

[...] Well... it's funny that you act that question.

Umi is a fencing champion, and has been teaching me how to improve on my swordplay. I was... am one of her students.

[forged_anew]

...His frequency is gone, and it's been gone a few days now. He's gone...

Yeah, I know Umi teaches the swordsmanship class, and I'll be taking over too.

So you're a student there?

[theforceoncrack.livejournal.com]

...Iroh's gone?

......damn.

[forged_anew]

[...]

Yeah... His frequency's been gone a few days. I just found out when I got back from the forest.

place holder for when school stops being mean ;_;

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

Um, I'm not sure exactly what kind of instructors you're looking for, but I'd be happy to teach some kind of martial arts class.

[forged_anew]

Well, anything really. What can you do?

Even some people to oversee sparring would be useful.

[asymmetriphobic.livejournal.com]

You're taking over the martial arts classes when you're out?

[forged_anew]

Yeah.

My uncle led them and I'd help out sometimes, so I figure I should just take over. I've been meaning to train some people in swordsmanship anyway, so this works out just as well.

[geassreceived.livejournal.com]

I'd be interested in joining, when I'm recovered, myself.

The open sparring sounds useful, and I wouldn't mind a sword class or two. I know kendo and Britannian arming sword form.

[forged_anew]

You're welcome to join whenever.

Okay. There are people from all sorts of styles, so that's fine. I haven't heard of that second style you mentioned though.

So what's your name?

[beatsupboys.livejournal.com]

Can I still do my gymnastics class?

[forged_anew]

Of course.
