Really, one was a dragon and the other could probably one of the toughest fighters in the class, but their ultimate weakness was a bit of snow and chilly wind? It made Dulga feel somewhat annoyed. [color=548b54]"All the more reason you two need to come. Didn't you just tell me you wanted to get stronger? First step is to deal with your weak points. It doesn't matter how powerful you can become if you have a critical weakness that your enemies will exploit."[/color] While Dulga was nice and friendly before (As nice and friendly as she sometimes is around her friends), she seemed much more stern this time. She didn't like the thought that these two were going to just [i]give up[/i] so easily. [color=548b54]"In fact it's not even a choice anymore. I'll drag both of you to Hokkaido if I have to. I'll make sure you train and practice in the snow so much you'll grow numb at anything less than subzero."[/color] Dulga's tone wasn't joking either, though this was also the tone she used for joking too. Whether Dulga was serious or not wouldn't been seen until the next weekend. There was some legitimate questions though, namely about transportation. She still had some of her mother's coins so she could easily secure transport from the station to her home and back. [color=548b54]"There is a bullet train that we can take from Hosu to Hokkaido, though it won't be a short trip. About ten hours or so, if the weather doesn't cause any problems. From the station to my home I can rent a shuttle for the weekend. As for who'll go... Honestly, I only planned this to be a girl's only trip."[/color] Dulga raised her hand and stuck out two fingers, and would raise a finger for each name. [color=548b54]"Yozakura and Kaida of course. Kishimoto if she can muster up the energy to actually train. Possibly Akasha if I think she won't be more trouble than it's worth. Kasuke could be worth training too."[/color] Those were the only ones that Dulga knew personally. The others Dulga has seen in class and through training, but never personally interacted with them. [color=548b54]"The others are free to come too, if they want. Mori, Fumika, Mamoru, and Maeda. Though I don't expect them to drop everything they're doing and come just because I ask. I'm sure they have plans for this weekend too."[/color] Thinking about this trip some more, Dulga was going to need to spend a bit of time to prep. If it was just herself, Dulga had more than enough supplies at her home to survive a weekend alone. But if she had to take care of even just two more people, she'll need more food, water, firewood, and other essentials to survive the nights. And that's not assuming their training doesn't end up leaving them stranded in the forest away from her house. It's a very real possibility what with the blizzards that could mislead them or treacherous terrain putting them off course. All the more reason Dulga needed to prepare ahead. [color=548b54]"Take essentials, but pack light. This isn't a vacation or a camping trip. Dress warmly and have spare clothes. Right now there's no running water or electricity at my house but there's going to be plenty enough space for everyone and it's built to stay warm in the winter. I should have some firewood left to heat up the stove and hearth too. Might need to bring your own food. I wouldn't rely on hunting and gathering except to supplement meals."[/color] Looking up Dulga tried to think of what else to add or say. Honestly aside from that she thinks she had everything covered, but before she finished she had one more thing to add. It was going to be very important for the girls. [color=548b54]"Leave the drama at school. You can't afford to be prissy and petty up north. I'm not taking you girls up north just so you can fight."[/color] [@Heartfillia][@Ryonara]
