@Raineh Daze The surname "White" is an Anglo-Saxon one, rather than being of Cornish or Welsh origin.

@Crimmy

I would like to introduce you to deed polls.

Oh yeah, @Raineh Daze, Cloacina's reference to Jen as a barbarian is perfectly accurate. She's an Anglo-Saxon, a descendant of the Germanic foederati that was subsidised by Rome to fight its wars. Roman Britain was a thing, of course, but it the Romano-Britons aren't the English, really. The Saxons only began to move into Britain after the decline of the Empire.

@Crimmy

... Except from the part where she's from Cornwall and therefore mostly not. >.>

Thought I put that in the bio but I apparently forgot.

The goddess's retaliation was directed entirely at thin air; the blonde had taken the teacher's immediate suggestion and left the room. Had she stayed to listen, the most pertinent point after working out that it was a Roman goddess that had gone and messed things up would have been that she wasn't a barbarian. It might have been years since she'd been in English history lessons but it wasn't like she had completely forgotten that Roman Britain was a thing--or that towards the end, everyone was a citizen. Unless the goddess was going to call even the people of Rome barbarians...

Nonetheless, Jen remained blissfully unaware of her mistaken nationality as she stepped past a student heading the other way and headed for the changing rooms. Back into uniform, go home and get changed again, then make dinner, probably. It wasn't like anyone was going to stop her if she stayed away from delinquents.

"I'm not sleepy, it's just the sun," Kaede explained, deciding that it really was too much of a bother to stay like this and sitting up only to lie down once more, with the sun behind rather than in her face. There probably wasn't too long she could stay before having to go home and help with her siblings, especially putting the smaller ones to bed. They seemed to find her enormous strength with those arms a challenge...

"Do you have any brothers or sisters, Makoto-kun?"

2nd person's a pretty solid perspective anyway. Criminally underused.

@Crimmy

It has good uses and bad uses, 'just for the sake of it' is a bad use. While I can see a few situations in a roleplay where briefly writing in second person would help, it's honestly out of place here.

As for the training room, I had no intention of keeping her there; just wanted to introduce her around some other characters rather than not.

@Caasicam

I suppose it helps that the students have mostly been told 'please leave' so they'll break up soon. Just... please use third person, or first if you really want to.

It seems logical that those seeking to prepare for the tournament would seek the location of the simulator rooms.

@Crimmy

Why this one, and why is nobody just closing the door and carrying on? At some point verisimilitude has to bow to the idea of making a scene too cluttered with players. xD

@Caasicam ... I'm drawing the line. Don't post in second person. This is neither a CYOA nor a literary contest.

You might want to choose some other place to go, too. Not everyone needs to pile into one room. >_>;

Jen accepted the tap on the head gracefully, because her normal reaction to someone's attempt to touch her hair had ended with her being accidentally tossed into a wall the last time she'd objected. Maybe she should have asked Ruriko to wait whilst she got a teacher, but how was she to know that someone that started off seeming irritated hadn't snapped under the pressure and decided on fights to the death?

That god, though, spouting off about their own power... sure, maybe she could have told actual trajectory of the weapons at that point. But it was obvious that they had no practice at this sort of thing if they thought there was any danger. If they weren't practised with these sorts of fights, then...

A now angry-again blonde stomped up to Minoru and kept waiting for an opening to speak that wouldn't get drowned out by the babble about hometowns. When none was forthcoming, she simply pointed a finger at the boy and started anyway. "Hey, god, I don't care if you think you're better than me: listen up!

"Stop being cocky! Nobody wants you to step in and mess things up. You don't even know how things work, idiot. Your stupid power would've been useless if I'd turned the cutting off and there's no way you would have been able to stop that in time. Watch some videos of the last tournament and see what we're supposed to be doing!

"You must be going senile if you think anyone would want to follow some shitty god like you... and I think Tsu would be mad if she heard you saying things like that about the students."

Rant finished, and feeling a bit better about it, the blonde girl crossed her arms and waited for permission to leave. It wasn't like she was going to be getting any training done in this room, so she may as well get changed and go home.

"The hard part would be convincing someone that maybe we should take advantage of all the training tech to make it less dangerous. We'd have to win to be listened to, but that means having to put up with the thing we need to change in the first place... politics is such a bore."

The redhead closed her eyes again, slightly irritated that the sun had sunken lower over the course of the conversation in such a way that it was now shining right at her face. Pity that she didn't have arms at the moment to shade them with. Well, she could just lie down the other way round if it got too annoying...

Working on a post but need to go get gardening stuff. Sigh. XD

In real life, people can respond in real time to things. It's rather hard to interrupt a roleplayed conversation. >.>

Academy Wars: Rituals and Technology in the Modern World, a Magitech School RP

@HereComesTheSnow@HereComesTheSnow Can we please not have entire conversations developing in front of multiple other characters whilst the players are asleep?

Well, I think Vita would have been awake for the first one, but...
