warnings: none that I can think of! Will update if necessary



i. meditate (open to all)

[ Since putting his training offers out on the Quarantine network, John has been putting up dates and times and locations for 'classes' - he hates calling them as such, but if the shoe fits.

There's nothing special about the spot he's chosen - it's by the river, shadowed by some trees, pleasant and quiet. John's sitting straight on the ground, cross-legged, as he waits for any 'student' who might be interested in learning about meditation. He's prepared to fight stereotypes, remembering Lorna's reaction the first time she saw him practicing, how surprised she'd been, how long she'd teased him for it after.

John waits, until a few people are seated in front of him, before he says anything. ]

Before we start, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. The goal here is to get some tools for you to center yourself if you ever feel like control, or your sense of self is slipping. Meditation is what we make it out to be - contrary to popular belief, it isn't about sitting on a rock for days at a time, humming to yourself, although you're welcome to do that, if it works for you.

[ John smiles. This should be fun. ]

We're going to start much smaller, here.

ii. combat (open to all)

[ Come one, come all, whoever is interested in trying to test themselves against that mutant who can't get hurt. He'll take your punches and will try to give pointers wherever he can - he is, after all, an ex-Marine himself, and has seen combat situation more than once.

Depending on who's here to train and who's interested in helping, there are several stations set up in the Perimeter Guards training grounds - one, large and further away than the rest, for those who want to try out their powers but might struggle with control, or simply have a huge range. One for hand-to-hand combat, with dummies and training equipment strewn around. One for swordfighting - the weapons are blunt. John's walking around between the different stations, helping out wherever he can, and learning, himself - he's never held a sword before, after all.

Come and train, fight, help out, or whatever else you want to do! ]

iii. wildcard

[ Closed starters in comments! Find me at ellievolia if you want a specific starter, or just hmu with anything, I'm happy with basically anything. ]

Right.

[ Cisco doesn't push with his offer - he doesn't see the harm in a discount, personally, but incorrectly assumes that John's simply not comfortable accepting gifts or bargains from a near-stranger. Maybe, Cisco thinks, John's worried there will be some catch. Strings attached. Which is fair. If their positions were reversed, he'd definitely be wary. ]

I get why those'd be a total lifesaver and all, but I'm not gonna front with you, they sound nasty as hell.

[ There are plenty of places he could recommend; he doesn't waste any time, picking up a stray bit of scrap paper from one of the desks and starting to jot down the names of a few places, with little notes by them like CHEAP! and GOOD SPICY STUFF! and ROMANTIC ATMOSPHERE ;D ]

/happy for this to be a last tag!

They can be. But also incredibly useful.

[ John can't knock them. Some of them are even not as disgusting as they sound.

John grins at the notes Cisco hands over after a moment. ]

You are a lifesaver. Thank you so much!
