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.

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

[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.

[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.

Hi, Takato.

I'm Zuko. And, um, I'm in Horton...?

[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.

[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.

[forged_anew]

Thanks, Umi.

You teach sword, right?

[whatthefactor.livejournal.com]

Hmm.

[forged_anew]

Hey. You interested?

[forged_anew]

Okay, thanks.

That does sound like a good idea. It's up to you when you want to do it. It can be a separate class if you want. Um, maybe we can come up with a revised gym schedule? My uncle had one but I think I'm going to change some things around.

Wow. Okay, I guess that works.

[whatthefactor.livejournal.com]

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

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

No problem!

I'm fairly certain I want it to be a separate class. People of all levels could benefit from it, so I'd be willing to revise the schedule if you're up to it!

Haha, it's actually nearly as tall as him and twice as wide as my upper arm. The scary part is that I think he could swing it with one hand...

[forged_anew]

That sounds fine. We can work on it together later this week if you want to come over again?

He sounds pretty strong.

[forged_anew]

You could help supervise sparring? Or just come to it. There's open floor and sparring in the afternoon.

Nice to meet you Zuko!

I used to stay in Horton, but I had to move out when Mr. Itoshiki disappeared.

[forged_anew]

Same here.

He's back now though. Is he your teacher too?

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me. It's not like you can keep me away, anyways!

He is. Very patient, too. He'd probably enjoy teaching.

Re: [text]

[gallantgoggles.livejournal.com]

No, not really. When guilmon disappeared he didn't want me to stay by myself, so I moved in with him and Amu.

[whatthefactor.livejournal.com]

I was speaking more in regards to the other digits.

[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.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

...

[whatthefactor.livejournal.com]

My point proven.

[forged_anew]

What? They won't want you teaching them or something?
