Current I think watching fight scenes can help in general terms with writing combat, since it can give you an idea of flow and choreography.

At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

Hermes' attention was briefly pulled from the Gorilla when the girl commented on him, saying he was cool and asking if he was a living weapon. After a moment's pause, the vehicle made his response, the perfect explanation that summed up everything and certainly fully explained why he could talk.

"I'm a motorrad," he said, simply. No-one else ever had asked for more explanation, after all.

Kino, however, was more distracted by the arrival of all the different... things. People would be the usual term, but not all of them were human or even human-like. The Gorilla, for one, was an animal, but it had the vague shape of a human and was in a way somewhat more identifiable then creatures that had less of a human-like appearance. The... small... pastel horse, on the other hand, was a strange, strange being that she had never quite seen anything like. For a moment she wondered if she had somehow eaten something that had caused her to have an incredibly unusual dream, but certainly this did not feel like a dream. Therefore, it was best to treat it as reality until proven otherwise. Taking a moment to collect herself in the face of all the perplexing individuals around her, she felt her right hand twitch slightly at the sight of an armed, masked man. She had heard him before, asking about getting stabbed. Did he perhaps come from a country where such a thing was customary?

For the moment there was nothing to be done about that.

Instead, Kino would introduce herself.

"My name is Kino," she began, before gesturing to her motorrad, "And this is Hermes."

"Hello!" added Hermes.
I... think it very much depends. I have seen it done horribly before(why would a character suddenly go into suicide mode from learning this?) but if it's just surprise at seeing the fictional character(and if they're told them just being "Uh okay sure weirdo") then it's okay.
I don't want people to think I'm neglecting this, but less and less people have been posting and I need more posts to do anything.
The first person to approach her appeared to be an ordinary girl, though Kino swore she saw... something unusual happening with her hair for a very brief moment as she was approaching. Of course, hair didn't act on its own, but this place was strange already... She turned fully away from Hermes, who fell silent for a moment at the approach of the girl. Kino was about to open her mouth when the girl spoke first, asking if she knew her. For a few moments, Kino was silent. No, she didn't recall ever meeting a girl who looked like this, not in any of the countries she had visited nor on the road. She shook her head, wordlessly, before finally speaking.

"I think you may have mistaken me for someone else," she said. Kino wasn't certain who, precisely, but it was the only possibility that she could figure out.

"Kino! There's a huge hairy man!" declared Hermes. Kino, of course, had heard another figure approaching, but as her eyes fell on him she was quite certain he was not a huge hairy man. Pausing for a moment in disbelief, Kino stared up at the massive gorilla for a few moments. She didn't exactly expect one, here, to simply stroll up like that. Then again, she didn't expect to wake up outside of a school when she had been sleeping in a nice, warm, cheap bed.

"... That's... a gorilla, Hermes," said Kino. She had never seen one before.
Also, have to mention Kino, while definitely a girl, can easily be mistaken for a small, slightly built boy. People tend to either not mention her gender or assume male, most of the time, though in a few cases people immediately figure out she's female.

Edit: Also making one post and then stopping until more people show up.

... And still wondering why Dio is speaking Japanese. ^^;
I'm kind of puzzled about Dio speaking Japanese. Isn't he British originally?

... Also for convenience's sake I'm assuming everyone just hears everything in the language they know, honestly.

Also, I could be misinterpreting posts, but Hermes isn't only audible to Kino. Anyone can hear his voice. He talks to other people multiple times in the anime.

... For some reason they don't ever seem too surprised by this.
"Kino, Kino!"

"Mmn... huh...?"

The ground beneath her was no longer a soft bed at remarkably cheap pricing. Beside her lay her jacket, her coat, her equipment, and, of course, the Cannon and the Woodsman, both in their holsters... But this was not the room she had purchased. This was not, in fact, a room at all. Rubbing one eye, the dark-haired girl slowly sat up. She was quick, snatching her jacket and coat up, putting them on swiftly as she grasped both of her guns, the Woodsman going behind her as the Cannon was quickly placed on her hip. Her surroundings had dramatically changed, and this did not feel like any kind of dream to her. Her eyes quickly snapped around to take in her surroundings. It was some kind of... schoolgrounds? This was nothing like the country she had gone to sleep in...

"Kino, do you think this could be some kind of custom that the country has?" asked Hermes. The motorrad sat nearby, his voice sounding more curious than frightened.

"I don't think any country could have a custom like this, Hermes," she replied, her hand hovering near her hip for a moment as she looked around. Surely, if someone had tried to move her while she slept, she would have noticed... and as she took in her surroundings, Kino began to realize that she was not alone in this place. She stood in silence for a moment, unsure of what to do. Even as a traveler, this was not something she was prepared for. What could take a person so quickly to someplace else, without their awareness, along with everything they owned?

There was one pressing question on Kino's mind, above all else.

Where was she?
To elaborate, Kino would be very compliant with the rules of a country unless they threaten her freedom or her life.

... But this isn't a country, it's some random person(potentially a nasty or weird person) attempting to claim leadership. She will have none of it.
Kino neither has any interest in leading or any interest in anyone claiming to be the leader.
Kino is going to be kind of confused by everything being so weird. Because it's weird in a different way then her own setting, really.

... Also her motorcycle will talk to people. No-one ever questions this at any point in Kino's Journey.
