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 ))

Okay.

Seems like you've gotten pretty far though, since you could apparently at least understand I was making an announcement about the gym.

[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.

[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?

I've been going to the classes for five months now, so I've gotten a lot better. I can usually pick out enough words now to tell what people are talking about. Unless they use words i haven't studied.

I'm still not very good at speaking it, though.

[beatsupboys.livejournal.com]

Can I still do my gymnastics class?

[forged_anew]

That makes sense.

It usually takes longer to learn how to speak a foreign language than to be able to understand some of it.

[asymmetriphobic.livejournal.com]

Ah... convenient. I hope it goes well for you.

[forged_anew]

Of course.

[forged_anew]

Thanks.

Are you interested?

[beatsupboys.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Well, my father actually had put me through training when I was younger, but it never hurts to improve. I'm not one for swords, however.

[forged_anew]

Yeah, I train pretty much every day when I'm not perpetually stuck in this dumb place. You're the guy who likes symmetry, right?

[he remembers your snowballs, man. Those were pretty symmetrical]

If you can find some weapons, I know double-sword style.

[forged_anew]

No problem.

I'm just taking over supervision and adding some stuff if people wanted, but I wasn't planning on taking anything away.

1/2 reeeeeeally hackable

[asymmetriphobic.livejournal.com]

My name is Kid. And you're Zuko, correct?

...this double-sword style sounds interesting. I'll see what I can do.

[beatsupboys.livejournal.com]

I didn't think so.

[forged_anew]

Yeah, I'm Zuko. And I remembered.

Thought you might like that. Sorry I don't have extra weapons to offer for training, but maybe if you dig around... Good luck.

I've been wanting a sparring partner in the same style.

[forged_anew]

Good.

See you there, Ty Lee. Whenever I can leave this stupid place. Why am I perpetually stuck here?</smalL.

[beatsupboys.livejournal.com]

Stuck?

... In the high school?

[asymmetriphobic.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'll look around; I might be able to find something.

Is that how you fight?

[forged_anew]

Sure, no problem.

Yeah, but it's usually not the only thing I use. With these dumb chips though... for now, all I have are my swords, but hopefully that'll be fixed soon.

Aw, html hates me :<

[forged_anew]

Uh... no.

[sigh]

In the hospital.

[theforceoncrack.livejournal.com]

Man, he's been here for forever. 'm sorry, kid.

[forged_anew]

Over a year, he told me. I guess it was high time he went home. He's safer there.

It's okay.
