If I may have your attention for just a moment, please, I'd like to announce that the training center I've been working on is now open for business. If you ever need a place where you wish to practice your combat skills, you can come here.

[At this point, Ky gives the address, monthly subscription fee (with a special deal for those who sign up within the first month), and hours.]

I feel fortunate that I could open it at this time, considering what's been going on in the city as of late. We can never be too prepared for anything. Just please, exercise caution, and if you feel like you can't win, then withdraw. Lost pride can be restored; a lost life cannot.

Training center, you say? [ She laughs a bit. ] How kind of you to help the weak ones.

[stinglikeabat]

Some extra practice could come in handy.

[Ky dislikes the way that's worded.]

The strong have a moral obligation to protect those who cannot protect themselves from danger.

[ridethelightning]

Then feel free to stop by. I'll be here until closing time.

[alittleblackmagic]

What about the people who say they're already dead?

[Palom has no interest in training but strong interests in being contrary.]

[ridethelightning]

...I beg your pardon?

[alittleblackmagic]

((Sorry about that! Apologize to Lisa for me, too.))

Yeah! Like Danny! He's a ghost and he can do all of these cool ghosty things like turn fly and go through walls and stuff.

[ridethelightning]

...Oh, that's right. I had forgotten about him. However, he can still be harmed.

[alittleblackmagic]

Do you think he can die, though?

[ridethelightning]

It's possible. I wouldn't put it past something here to be able to kill a human soul.

[alittleblackmagic]

If he can go through things, maybe he can go through all attacks if he thought about it, too.

Anyway, that means you can still come back even after you die. Once, at least. If I'm ever a ghost, I'm gonna haunt Hiroshi and make him learn magic to get rid of me.

[ridethelightning]

...I'm not so sure. Did he die before or after coming to Sirocco?

[alittleblackmagic]

Probably before, right?

[ridethelightning]

That's what I think. And another world's rules on death might not be the same here.

[alittleblackmagic]

...Death has rules? I thought you just died and stuff happened the way it was supposed to happen.

[ridethelightning]

The world itself has rules. It's only natural that there would be rules governing death.

[dentistwannabe]

Congratulations! I think you'll be seeing a lot of me in the next couple of weeks... I'm still not too good at fighting, but a few tips'd never hurt in the long run.

[ridethelightning]

Well, you certainly have some unique abilities. I'm sure this facility can help you get familiarized with them again.

[stinglikeabat]

I'll see you there!

[dentistwannabe]

I hope so. To be honest, I didn't even know I could do all of that until then... it was kind of freaky.

[ridethelightning]

If I hadn't been high on adrenaline myself, I probably would have been taken aback from sheer confusion, to be honest.

[Shampoo's ready to sign up!]

Finally! Shampoo been waiting forever for this. This opened right on time with this monster news. They popping up in buildings I thought were safe and empty. They so ugly too...

[video]

[ridethelightning]

Indeed. Rest assured, they won't be coming into this building. Not on my watch.

[alittleblackmagic]

Rules are boring. They should just have things happen randomly when you die so it's more interesting that way. Then people wouldn't be scared of dying.

[ridethelightning]

Rules are also what allow us to advance as a species, you know. If the natural state of existence were chaos, we'd never be able to develop treatments for disease that work beyond individual cases, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
