IronMaiden V

@@Marynote: Dad, fix this sometime

[00:12]	<[GM]Mary>	Last time, on IronMaiden
[00:12]	<[GM]Mary>	Nothing of importance!
[00:13]	<[GM]Mary>	This time, on IronMaiden
[00:15]	<[GM]Mary>	Nothing of importance! The crew finish breakfast and return for combat training. Unfortunately, Lieutenant Crowley had to attend a meeting. Surely she'll be back later!
[00:17]	* CaptainFarina	puts on some fingerless punching gloves. Less out of necessity and more because they came with the training dress.
[00:18]	* [Zem]R1N4	returns for training as well. However, she seems to have her pants off and her leg open, and is futzing with something inside there.
[00:19]	* CaptainFarina	tries to ignore Rina and continues.
[00:20]	<CaptainFarina>	...Alright, ladies. How many of you pokes have had any combat experience or training?
[00:20]	* [huh]Freya	raises her hand.
[00:20]	* [Ru]Andrea	raises her hand.
[00:21]	* [Zem]R1N4	shakes her head.
[00:22]	* CaptainFarina	narrows her eyes at Freya.
[00:22]	<CaptainFarina>	Minus street fighting...?
[00:23]	* [huh]Freya	puts her hand down, abashed.
[00:24]	* [Zem]R1N4	finishes, closes up her leg, and puts her shorts on.
[00:26]	* [Ru]Andrea	, though somewhat concerned, refrains from asking R1N4 anything, and remains at attention with her hand still raised.
[00:27]	<CaptainFarina>	Right. That being said, we're not above fighting "dirty". As killers, you should take whatever chances you have to get the upper hand on your opponent, lest you meet your end before they.
[00:28]	<[Nom]Locke>	"Well, since we'll be stomping mutants first and foremost there's no need to show human compassion or dignity."
[00:29]	* [Nom]Locke	is only partly sarcastic
[00:30]	<[Ru]Andrea>	...
[00:31]	<CaptainFarina>	It's not a joke, Locke. While there are strict guidelines against harming non-coms, they are still only guidelines. Remember kids, they don't love us up north and down south like they do here. Even in the city, you're wearing a bullseye on your back with that armor, and you must be ready to fight at any time.
[00:34]	* [Ru]Andrea	lowers her hand. For an instant, her impassive face flickers, but quickly returns.
[00:38]	* [huh]Freya	nods, her face resolute.
[00:38]	<CaptainFarina>	Anyhow, we'll start with the basics. Bare hands.
[00:38]	* [Zem]R1N4	looks a bit worried.
[00:40]	<CaptainFarina>	Right now you're having it easy. In a bright, wide, soft room with a full stomach and rest, no iron on and a corpsmaiden standing by just in case I hit you too hard. Enjoy it while you can; soon, you will have none of these luxuries.
[00:42]	<[Nom]Locke>	"Imagine, there'll be a time when you'll miss getting slugged in the gut."
[00:44]	<CaptainFarina>	Delarouge. You showed a hand. Why don't you take the soapbox for a minute and show us what you know?
[00:45]	* [Ru]Andrea	nods and steps forward. "What should I do, Captain?"
[00:45]	* [Zem]R1N4	stands at attention as Andrea steps forward. "Recording..."
[00:45]	<CaptainFarina>	Whatever comes natural. You're teaching us, now.
[00:46]	<CaptainFarina>	One thing I'll take the chance to remind everybody: You're all students, and you're all mentors. I expect you to teach your skills to your comrades and learn theirs in return.
[00:48]	* [Ru]Andrea	seems slightly nervous. "R-right. Teach... well, first, let's start with stance and posturing."
[00:50]	* [Ru]Andrea	takes a step back with one leg, angling her body. She raises her fists up to chin level, with knuckles roughly aligned with the sides of her face.
[00:51]	* [Zem]R1N4	takes up the same kind of stance in the line behind them.
[00:52]	<[Nom]Locke>	"Er, do I need to do this too, Capt'n?"
[00:52]	<[Ru]Andrea>	... Relax your lower body, but stand wide enough to provide balance. You should sink your center of gravity slightly. Feet at about a forty-five degree angle. Keep your arms tight and coiled, and hands protecting the chin.
[00:53]	* CaptainFarina	just shakes her head slightly, listening to Andrea.
[00:54]	* [huh]Freya	watches intently.
[00:55]	* [Ru]Andrea	sees Farina out of the corner of her eye. She swallows.
[00:56]	<[Ru]Andrea>	... But, for the time being, we should focus more on footwork. That's fundamental.
[00:59]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Keep your facing when possible. Angled footing, to protect the groin. Advance and recover with your front leg, and use the back for power and stability. Don't worry about crossing over when stepping or altering weight distribution just yet.
[01:00]	* [Ru]Andrea	demonstrates with a few forward and backwards steps.
[01:01]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Ok, you try. Move with me.
[01:03]	* CaptainFarina	has a sadist streak.
[01:03]	<CaptainFarina>	You heard the woman, Locke. Move her. And not with your poetry.
[01:04]	* [Nom]Locke	raises an eyebrow
[01:05]	<[Nom]Locke>	"You don't usually joke during training, do you?"
[01:05]	<CaptainFarina>	I'm not joking. You got ten seconds to do it.
[01:06]	* [Nom]Locke	sighs
[01:06]	* [huh]Freya	tries to imitate Andrea's motions.
[01:07]	<[Nom]Locke>	"Miss Delarouge? Will you please move?"
[01:12]	* [Ru]Andrea	continues the exercise, moving forward to the end of the room and back a few times, then the same with sideways and diagonal steps.
[01:12]	<[Nom]Locke>	"Wasn't that easy?"
[01:15]	* CaptainFarina	has a feeling of stupid come over her. Must be the insulation. Doesn't have that crispy metal smell to the room.
[01:15]	<[Nom]Locke>	"Another mission well done!"
[01:16]	* [Nom]Locke	means 'pay rises are in order'
[01:19]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Should I continue, Captain?
[01:21]	<CaptainFarina>	No. That was pretty good, you look like you were taught somewhere around here. But that's the simple stuff.
[01:21]	<CaptainFarina>	Esther. I don't need you to make a demonstration, but share with us, what has the streets of Dis taught you about fighting?
[01:35]	<[huh]Freya>	Well, I certaily took you speech about fighting dirty to heart, because the average person won't hesitate to return in kind, especially mutants and especially when their life is threatened.
[01:36]	<[huh]Freya>	As for specific stylings, I can't really give much more advice than "don't get hit".
[01:36]	<[Nom]Locke>	"That /is/ good advice."
[01:36]	<CaptainFarina>	That's not very good advice. You're gonna get hit.
[01:37]	* CaptainFarina	leers at Locke. Quit being a smartass.
[01:38]	<[Nom]Locke>	"Then if you do get hit, hit them harder. Combat 101."
[01:38]	<CaptainFarina>	That's more like it.
[01:38]	<CaptainFarina>	In any case, style is useless here. You're killers, not exhibitionists.
[01:38]	* [Nom]Locke	is truly a scholar of the martial arts
[01:38]	* [huh]Freya	is silenced by the Captain's words. She steps sown.
[01:39]	<[Ru]Andrea>	...If I may, Captain, I believe that in actual combat, it isn't enough to know that nothing is forbidden; you should put effort into consciously exploiting that.
[01:41]	<CaptainFarina>	Of course. Take all the chances you get, and leave your opponent none. Basic rule to all warfare.
[01:41]	<[Zem]R1N4>	Thus far, I haven't seen much. Could someone work on showing me how to do... things?
[01:42]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Certainly, Rina. With the Captain's permission, of course.
[01:44]	* [Zem]R1N4	glances at the Captain.
[01:44]	<CaptainFarina>	Ready to spar already? I reckon it won't be a bad start. Now, while I'm firm against pulling blows for all but the most dangerous maneuvers, if any of you fuck up my robot, you'll be buying the platoon a new one.
[01:46]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Not quite yet, Captain. Do we have a practice dummy or something of the sort?
[01:47]	<[Zem]R1N4>	If my core is undamaged, my self-repair processes will recover me from anything but the most grievous of injury.
[01:47]	<CaptainFarina>	We have a few punching bags. We do have a few dummies, but they're not as much fun without the LT.
[01:47]	<CaptainFarina>	Oh, good. You can be the dummy then.
[01:48]	<[huh]Freya>	Doesn't a human give infinitely more valuable experience than a sack, though?
[01:48]	<[Nom]Locke>	"Sacks are infinitely more disposable than a human."
[01:49]	<[huh]Freya>	We're not going to be trying to kill each other.
[01:50]	* [Ru]Andrea	smiles. Differently. Almost frighteningly.
[01:50]	<[Nom]Locke>	"...Maybe not on Day 1."
[01:50]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Perhaps I shouldn't demonstrate, then?
[01:51]	* [Zem]R1N4	stands in imitation of how Andrea stood.
[01:51]	<CaptainFarina>	It's all relative, Locke. Anyway, what Freya says holds true. Find yourselves a buddy near your level of experience and have someone above you supervise to correct your mistakes. Despite Locke's attitude, he'd rip all you in two, so ask him to help when you need it.
[01:52]	* [huh]Freya	casts a sharply skeptical look at Locke, but says nothing.
[01:54]	<[Nom]Locke>	"The Capt'n jests. Go easy on me."
[01:54]	* [Nom]Locke	steps aside, nonetheless
[01:55]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Hm. Well, I'll start with a few examples before we begin. Rina, shall we?
[01:55]	<[Zem]R1N4>	Certainly.
[01:56]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Sweep your arm like this.
[01:56]	<CaptainFarina>	If someone cries uncle or taps out, that's submission. While I don't care if you hurt each other, I'd rather not have everyone wrapped up at the end of this. Be mean, but mindful. Show your partner their mistakes firsthand, then guide them through overcoming it.
[01:56]	* [Ru]Andrea	makes a wide, hook punch, like the sort an untrained thug might use.
[02:00]	<[Ru]Andrea>	In your case, it would be most best to learn pure self defense maneuvers that accomplish their purpose with minimal time and effort. Do as I just did, and I'll show a counter.
[02:01]	* CaptainFarina	leaves those two alone, moving over beside Freya.
[02:01]	<CaptainFarina>	Guess that leaves you and me, Private.
[02:01]	<[huh]Freya>	Yes, Miss Captain.
[02:01]	<CaptainFarina>	Unless you'd rather tangle with the Big Man.
[02:01]	* CaptainFarina	gestures to Locke.
[02:02]	<[huh]Freya>	Is what you said true?
[02:02]	* [huh]Freya	lowers her voice slightly.
[02:02]	<CaptainFarina>	You want to find out?
[02:02]	* CaptainFarina	doesn't lower her voice at all.
[02:02]	* [huh]Freya	shakes her head.
[02:02]	<[huh]Freya>	If it was, my personal pride could not stand the blow.
[02:03]	<[Nom]Locke>	"Hello!"
[02:03]	* [Nom]Locke	waves in a friendly manner
[02:04]	* CaptainFarina	looks Freya up and down.
[02:04]	<CaptainFarina>	I don't think much of you could stand a blow.
[02:05]	* [Zem]R1N4	says to Andrea, "Show me how to block first, then show me how to punch?"
[02:06]	<[huh]Freya>	I'm a bit tougher than I look, Miss Captain.
[02:06]	<[huh]Freya>	Please, don't hold back on my behalf.
[02:07]	<[Ru]Andrea>	I am. The block is incorporated into this.
[02:07]	<CaptainFarina>	Hmph, right... Well, let's start simple. Try to hit me.
[02:08]	<[Ru]Andrea>	The Captain is right; better that I show you a more serious technique now, well before we end up in the field.
[02:09]	<[Zem]R1N4>	Very well.
[02:10]	* [huh]Freya	tries, she really does, but she's full of holes and much too predictable.
[02:10]	* [Zem]R1N4	's form isn't too bad. She seems to be mimicing it adequately.
[02:13]	* CaptainFarina	smiles a little. Looks like this squad is starting from the very bottom. Only way is up... She doesn't enter a form, but stands as if at a company conference and stops a few blows, correcting them.
[02:14]	<CaptainFarina>	No, no. Keep your fist flat. Hit someone like that, you'll break your hand. Try again.
[02:14]	<[Nom]Locke>	"Sock her a good one!"
[02:14]	<[Nom]Locke>	"...Respectfully, of course."
[02:16]	* [huh]Freya	nods and corrects her posture.
[02:16]	<CaptainFarina>	Shut up and go help the others. I'll call you when I feel like hurting someone.
[02:16]	* CaptainFarina	turns back to Freya.
[02:17]	<[Nom]Locke>	"A hook to the face would be character building."
[02:17]	* [Ru]Andrea	's entire demeanor suddenly changes. She moves her arm outwards to parry before R1N4 completes the punch, abruptly sinking her weight into R1N4's elbow. It appears as a simple takedown... until Andrea's hand then slides behind R1N4's back, grabbing hair and pulling down. As R1N4's head and spine incline backwards, Andrea drives her free-arm's elbow directly into R1N4's throat with sufficient...
[02:17]	* [Ru]Andrea	...force to crush a human being's wind pipe.
[02:18]	<CaptainFarina>	Alright. Another thing, you-...
[02:18]	<[Nom]Locke>	"Hey, you're pretty good."
[02:18]	* CaptainFarina	turns to the others.
[02:19]	* [Nom]Locke	is in behind Andrea, with a gentle hold on Andrea's shoulder
[02:20]	* CaptainFarina	steps over.
[02:20]	<CaptainFarina>	You alright, Rina?
[02:20]	<[Nom]Locke>	"I'm afraid for my paycheck. Even if she's supposed to be state of the art regenerative and all that."
[02:21]	* [Ru]Andrea	instantly turns to face Locke. Something in her eyes is... bestial. But it quickly fades, and she looks down.
[02:21]	* [Nom]Locke	smile warmly
[02:22]	* [Zem]R1N4	stands up. Her head hangs at an odd angle, but she brings it back up with a popping sound.
[02:24]	<[Nom]Locke>	"Oh, she unbroke."
[02:24]	* [Nom]Locke	steps back from the two
[02:25]	<[Ru]Andrea>	E-excuse me, Captain. I thought that, since Rina-- I mean, the corpsmaiden doesn't have vitals, I could-- it was reckless. I apologize.
[02:25]	<CaptainFarina>	Delarouge, I know you're trying to show the real deal, but please try not to kill our corpsmaiden. She's responsible for healing us, and with her out of commission, the rest of us face a greater danger.
[02:26]	<CaptainFarina>	Carry on.
[02:26]	* CaptainFarina	goes back to Freya.
[02:27]	<CaptainFarina>	Now, where was I...
[02:27]	<[Zem]R1N4>	Repairs complete. Voice operational.
[02:27]	* [Ru]Andrea	doesn't look up. "Yes, ma'am."
[02:27]	<[huh]Freya>	"Alright, another thing, you-"
[02:31]	<[Nom]Locke>	"You are obviously very skilled, Andrea. But despite what the Capt'n keeps saying, you must also learn to restraint. Not all mutants are monstrous, writhing fleshbags. And not all our opponents will be mutants. Harder than killing is the art of keeping your opponents alive."
[02:32]	<CaptainFarina>	-don't have any balance. You're not skilled enough to risk defense on offense, so keep your body ready to react. A lot of those swings were way over the top. Try me again.
[02:33]	* CaptainFarina	looks a little more serious this time.
[02:33]	<[Ru]Andrea>	...
[02:36]	* [huh]Freya	keeps the Captain's advice in mind, and manages a decent form.
[02:36]	<[Nom]Locke>	"Don't look like that. As a proficient killer, you're already at the top of the class!"
[02:37]	* [Nom]Locke	pats Andrea on the shoulder
[02:37]	<[Zem]R1N4>	And how do I fare?
[02:37]	* [Ru]Andrea	finally looks up, surprised.
[02:38]	* CaptainFarina	still avoids pretty easily, but nods at the improvement.
[02:38]	* CaptainFarina	stops a fist, holding it.
[02:39]	<[Nom]Locke>	"What? Don't you believe me?"
[02:39]	<CaptainFarina>	Good. You're looking better already. You could probably beat a single malnurished cave child... maybe two.
[02:39]	<[Ru]Andrea>	N-no, I do... Thank you, sir. And Rina, I'm sorry.
[02:40]	<[Nom]Locke>	"Pfft. Leave the 'sir's for the Capt'n. Locke will be fine."
[02:40]	<[Zem]R1N4>	No matter. I am the perfect training dummy, and even being beaten up repeatedly, I will improve.
[02:40]	* [huh]Freya	gives Farina a wry smile.
[02:40]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Ah, yes, of course you are.
[02:41]	* [Ru]Andrea	begins to smile uneasily.
[02:41]	<[Nom]Locke>	"Yeah, except that the Capt'n will have our hides if we even so much as scratch your multi-million dollar paint. You've got to look after yourself as well."
[02:41]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Heheh. Can do, sir.
[02:42]	* [Ru]Andrea	clears her throat.
[02:42]	<[Nom]Locke>	"There's the 'sir' again. Stop it. I'll get mad."
[02:44]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Perhaps I should continue, then, as the Captain would approve.
[02:44]	* [Ru]Andrea	says playfully.
[02:45]	* CaptainFarina	smiles back.
[02:45]	<[huh]Freya>	I'll take that as a compliment, Miss Captain.
[02:46]	<CaptainFarina>	You ready for ground techniques?
[02:46]	<[huh]Freya>	Ground techniques?
[02:46]	<[Nom]Locke>	"When I get mad I sulk in my room and waste the food budget. Don't do it."
[02:47]	* CaptainFarina	sidesteps Freya and sends her to the ground with a sweep in push, ready or not. She falls back with her and locks her arms, flipping Freya on her chest.
[02:47]	<[huh]Freya>	Uwah!
[02:47]	* [huh]Freya	lays for a moment.
[02:48]	<[huh]Freya>	Oh, I see. Ground techniques.
[02:48]	* [Zem]R1N4	starts trying a few punches.
[02:48]	* [Ru]Andrea	laughs. "I understand."
[02:50]	* [Zem]R1N4	isn't doing too badly.
[02:51]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Uh, Rina, what I meant for you to take from this is... well, being a medical practitioner, you know that there are multiple points on the body that can cause extreme pain or involuntary motion. And that not all of them require pinpoint precision to exploit. Face, groin, below the ribs, solar plexus, spine -- Oh, good punch. -- and so on. They are what you should aim for if it comes to it.
[02:52]	* CaptainFarina	gives Freya some space, but only enough to put her in a headlock. She's holding just tightly enough to make it difficult to breathe, but nothing enough to prevent.
[02:53]	* CaptainFarina	gets a little hot.
[02:53]	<[Zem]R1N4>	What about the mutants who don't have those points?
[02:54]	<CaptainFarina>	Yeah... ground techniques. Most fights end up on the ground, where you don't want to be. If you get there anyway, your best choice is to bring your opponent with you... egh... and subdue them there.
[02:54]	<[Nom]Locke>	"You won't be trying to kill those with your bare hands. If you do, just, er, pulp them or something."
[02:55]	<[Ru]Andrea>	If it's smaller than you, you should be fine. For things especially larger than you, you'd be best off escaping or finding a real weapon.
[02:55]	<[Zem]R1N4>	When I was sent here, I was given a machine gun, but not the training to use it.
[02:56]	<[Ru]Andrea>	That'll do it. But weapons training is later.
[02:57]	* CaptainFarina	to "better her position" she pushes Freya's body forth, breast-first.
[02:58]	<[Zem]R1N4>	Very well.
[02:59]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Oh, that reminds me. Grappling.
[02:59]	* [Ru]Andrea	takes hold of one of R1N4's wrists.
[03:00]	<[Ru]Andrea>	For something basic like this, just pull out between my index finger and thumb, then counterattack if appropriate.
[03:01]	* CaptainFarina	also locks her legs around Freya's, scooching herself on top of her buttocks. Purely for practical reasons.
[03:01]	* [huh]Freya	goes slightly red but says nothing on the subject.
[03:01]	* [Zem]R1N4	gives it a try.
[03:01]	* [huh]Freya	's ears give a small twitch.
[03:02]	<CaptainFarina>	Mmph... Okay, you ready?
[03:02]	<[huh]Freya>	Yeah.
[03:04]	* [Zem]R1N4	manages to escape, but she knows she wouldn't in a real situation.
[03:04]	<[Zem]R1N4>	You aren't doing any favors by letting me free like that.
[03:05]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Don't worry. If you hadn't been able to, I'd just have asked you to do it again. It's not like I can tell you to work on your physical strength. For now, just worry about what you -can- do.
[03:06]	<[huh]Freya>	What should I do from here?
[03:06]	<[Nom]Locke>	"Still, although the Capt'n believes in training growth through physical violence, I would have preferred we learnt some of the theory first. Oh well."
[03:08]	* [Ru]Andrea	steps behind R1N4. She places her arm around R1N4's neck in a mock chokehold.
[03:08]	<CaptainFarina>	I'm going to let go, but just for a moment. In that time, I want you to try to break out of the hold. I don't expect you to succeed your first time, but give it your all; each step forward is a step in the right direction.
[03:09]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Ok, this is a fairly common hold. Try to figure this one out. What are some ways you can escape?
[03:10]	<[huh]Freya>	Understood, Miss Captain.
[03:10]	<CaptainFarina>	Alright...
[03:11]	* CaptainFarina	reluctantly lets go.
[03:11]	<[Zem]R1N4>	I press downward on the wrists to break the grip.
[03:12]	* [Zem]R1N4	suits deeds to words and pushes down on them, breaking the grip.
[03:12]	* [huh]Freya	tries to break the hold.
[03:14]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Good job. You're a fast learner, though I guess I expected that.
[03:15]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Okay, once more. Try another method. Remember that nothing is forbidden on the battlefield.
[03:15]	* [Ru]Andrea	does the same grab. She seems to be enjoying herself.
[03:16]	* [Zem]R1N4	tries elbowing you in the gut to get you to loosen your hold.
[03:21]	* CaptainFarina	's hold is broken, and Freya would have been free, were it not for a nearby tail. She yoinks on it, reaching between Freya's legs to grab it and pull her back down. Somehow, she manages to feel around that area without suspicion. Satisfied, she rolls on her side and lets Freya go, next to her.
[03:22]	* [Nom]Locke	admires Beatrice's 'training'
[03:23]	* [Ru]Andrea	gives way with a faint "Kuh!" It hurt, but she tries to hide it for R1N4's sake.
[03:23]	<[Nom]Locke>	"I don't understand how for you that's training and for me that's assault."
[03:25]	<[Ru]Andrea>	"Ah, that surprised me! Very good, Rina!"
[03:25]	<[huh]Freya>	Nyah!
[03:25]	<[Zem]R1N4>	Are you okay?
[03:25]	* [huh]Freya	didn't expect her tail to be used against her...
[03:27]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Yes, I'm fine.
[03:27]	<CaptainFarina>	hah... That was good, Freya, but you're gonna have to figure something out about your tail. Also, this isn't assault for me?
[03:28]	<CaptainFarina>	Jeez...
[03:28]	* CaptainFarina	sits up, elbow on her knee.
[03:29]	<[huh]Freya>	This is training, Locke. If Miss Captain wasn't a little rough, there'd be no point.
[03:30]	<CaptainFarina>	If it weren't for the complaints recently about sexual assault, I wouldn't mind males practicing with females. If they don't like it, then they should toughen their shit up. We weren't segregated when I enlisted, if a guy was giving you a hard time, you gave him a shot right between the legs. Usually he'd stop bothering you, but some don't learn...
[03:31]	* CaptainFarina	looks distant, recalling a few certain incidents.
[03:31]	* [Nom]Locke	sighs
[03:32]	<[Nom]Locke>	"You'd think it'd be more fun being the only guy in female unit."
[03:34]	<[Zem]R1N4>	Now, shall we continue?
[03:34]	<CaptainFarina>	I could transfer you to an all male unit if it befits you, Sergeant.
[03:35]	* [Ru]Andrea	was distracted for a moment by Farina.
[03:35]	<[Nom]Locke>	"Never! I'm an integral part of this one."
[03:35]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Yes, let's move on.
[03:37]	<CaptainFarina>	Right...
[03:37]	* [Ru]Andrea	wraps her arms around R1N4 from behind, binding her arms and clasping her hands just below R1N4's bust.
[03:38]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Try this one.
[03:38]	<CaptainFarina>	You ready for more, Private?
[03:39]	<[huh]Freya>	Yes. Miss Captain.
[03:40]	<[Nom]Locke>	"...And she even wants more! There's no justice in this world."
[03:41]	<CaptainFarina>	...Locke, go supervise the others or something.
[03:42]	* CaptainFarina	doesn't need commentary on reconnaissance of Freya's legs
[03:42]	<[Nom]Locke>	"I did. Andrea is already proficient with unarmed techniques and R1N4 only needs self-defence basics."
[03:42]	* [Zem]R1N4	tries breaking the hold by pressing down on Andrea's elbows.
[03:44]	* [Zem]R1N4	cannot get free!
[03:45]	* [Ru]Andrea	keeps a tight hold. Being somewhat taller, her head rests approximately on R1N4's shoulder, the koo of her breath in her ear. She spaces out a bit.
[03:45]	<[Ru]Andrea>	... Ah.
[03:45]	<[Nom]Locke>	"Yeah, and now they just wrestle about. Kind of like what you're doing."
[03:47]	* [Ru]Andrea	releases the hold and eyes R1N4 affectionately. "Excuse me. It's just that you were really cute just now..."
[03:48]	* CaptainFarina	ignores Locke and continues with the exercises.
[03:49]	<[Zem]R1N4>	You think so?
[03:49]	* [Ru]Andrea	nods, grinning.
[03:49]	<CaptainFarina>	Alright. Esther, try using that lock from before on me.
[03:50]	* CaptainFarina	turns around, dhowing Freya her back.
[03:51]	<[Zem]R1N4>	Now let me try getting holds on you!
[03:51]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Alright, if you think you're ready.
[03:53]	* [huh]Freya	tries to recollect the hold and reproduce it on Farina.
[03:56]	* [Zem]R1N4	tries using the same hold Andrea used.
[03:57]	<[huh]Freya>	Is this how?
[03:58]	* [Zem]R1N4	misremembered the hold and has her hands around Andrea's breasts.
[03:58]	<CaptainFarina>	No, no, that's easy to break. Grab a little... lower, so I can't reach to bust you in the ribs.
[03:59]	* CaptainFarina	elbows Freya in the ribs, to demonstrate.
[03:59]	<[Zem]R1N4>	Is this it?
[03:59]	<[Ru]Andrea>	...Ah!
[04:01]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Th-that tickles, Rina!
[04:01]	* [huh]Freya	adjusts her position, sliding lower on the Captain's body.
[04:02]	<[huh]Freya>	Like this?
[04:02]	<[Zem]R1N4>	So does it not work?
[04:04]	<CaptainFarina>	No no, your grip. You want to trap your opponent's center of gravity, so keep yours over mine.
[04:04]	<[Nom]Locke>	"Hello, ladies."
[04:04]	* [Nom]Locke	watches over the squirming mass of Andrea and Rina
[04:04]	<[Nom]Locke>	"I'm supervising you."
[04:04]	<[huh]Freya>	So...
[04:05]	* [huh]Freya	returns to her original position, this time only putting her arms lower.
[04:05]	<[huh]Freya>	THis?
[04:05]	<CaptainFarina>	Y-yeah, that's good.
[04:05]	<[Ru]Andrea>	"That's not nece-- Oh! Ahahaha! Rina, that's--
[04:06]	<[Nom]Locke>	"...Are you alright?"
[04:07]	* [Ru]Andrea	can't speak properly while stifling laughter.
[04:07]	* CaptainFarina	wishes Freya would grab just a little lower. Ah well. Can't always get what you want.
[04:08]	<CaptainFarina>	Now... do you know else to do?
[04:08]	* [Ru]Andrea	loses her footing and falls back onto R1N4.
[04:09]	* [Zem]R1N4	attempts to hold Andrea up.
[04:09]	<[huh]Freya>	No, Miss Captain.
[04:15]	* [Zem]R1N4	manages to hold her up. "Was that a successful hold?"
[04:16]	<CaptainFarina>	Well, first, take me to the ground... lock up my legs... and put me to sleep. Try, at least.
[04:19]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Ahaha... yes. Yes, Rina, you were in full control.
[04:20]	* [Ru]Andrea	is catching her breath. She wipes the tears built up in the corners of her eyes.
[04:21]	* [huh]Freya	falls with Farina in tow, locking the Captain's legs as best she can, mimicking the movements she remembers.
[04:24]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Let's just.. take a break for a moment...
[04:24]	<[Zem]R1N4>	It's good that I'm learning.
[04:24]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Mhmm. You're pretty quick.
[04:28]	* CaptainFarina	isn't terribly restricted, but finds it to be productive of Freya's size, strength and weight. She submits to the hold.
[04:29]	<[Zem]R1N4>	It's my biomimetic programming.
[04:30]	<CaptainFarina>	Engh... y-Yeah, you got it.
[04:30]	<[Zem]R1N4>	Has my hold done any damage? I can heal it if you like.
[04:32]	<[huh]Freya>	Now just squeeze?
[04:32]	* [Ru]Andrea	stares at R1N4 for a moment before laughing again.
[04:32]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Come here.
[04:33]	* [Zem]R1N4	goes over.
[04:34]	<CaptainFarina>	...Yeah. Though really, you need more strength training if you expect to keep someone like me in a hold. Even with your weight and gravity against me, I could probably toss you off.
[04:34]	* [Ru]Andrea	drapes her arms over R1N4's shoulders and rests her chin atop R1N4's head.
[04:34]	<[Ru]Andrea>	... It's not a hold. Sit down.
[04:35]	* [Zem]R1N4	sits down with Andrea.
[04:35]	* [huh]Freya	sighs.
[04:36]	<[huh]Freya>	A long way to go, huh...
[04:37]	* CaptainFarina	pushes Freya off, pulling herself up.
[04:38]	<CaptainFarina>	Yep. I gotta be honest with you, Private, you're rock bottom. But on the bright side, you're moving up. And you don't have any bad habits - yet. You don't have any good habits either, but don't worry, we'll teach you those.
[04:38]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Hmmmmmmmm.....
[04:38]	* [Ru]Andrea	gives a long, humming purr.
[04:39]	<[huh]Freya>	Thank you for your support, Miss Captain.
[04:39]	<[Ru]Andrea>	... I don't know why I'm doing this. I just... wanted to.
[04:39]	<[Zem]R1N4>	Doing what, training here?
[04:39]	* [huh]Freya	gets to her feet and bows.
[04:39]	<[Ru]Andrea>	No. This.
[04:40]	* CaptainFarina	gets up and takes a seat on the bench. She grabs herself a towel and throws one to Freya.
[04:40]	* [Ru]Andrea	's attitude is a strong contrast to what it was earlier.
[04:42]	* CaptainFarina	notices Andrea's... whatever she's doing. Wait a second...
[04:43]	* [huh]Freya	towels herself off as best she can, and unties her hair.
[04:44]	<CaptainFarina>	uh... Delarouge, would you mind sharing what sort of hold that is?
[04:44]	<[Ru]Andrea>	Hm? Oh, Captain.
[04:44]	* [Ru]Andrea	stands.
[04:45]	<[Ru]Andrea>	We were just taking a short rest. I think she understands the fundamentals.
[04:47]	<[Zem]R1N4>	Why does being here make me feel so warm?
[04:49]	<CaptainFarina>	...Right. Right. Good work, everyone. Take a breather while I go hunt down our LT.
[04:50]	* [Zem]R1N4	also stands.
[04:53]	* CaptainFarina	towels off and makes her way out of the training room, grabbing her jacket before exiting.
[04:54]	* [Nom]Locke	hasn't really done much, so just stands around a bit more while people leave
[04:56]	* CaptainFarina	feels a little bad about taking advantage of the training situation. . o ( Screw it, I can't have this... thing getting in the way of making these peoples better warriors. I'll have Locke assist with exercises next time. )
