[ ooc; asgard: the citadel ]

[pratentious]

The Citadel

Whether or not you believe in the oncoming war of "Ragnarok" or the "gods"' plea for help, there is an undeniable threat upon the people of Asgard, native and Traveller alike. We were brought here against our will into a battle we never asked for - and are not prepared for. They gave us sorcery. We give you steel.

You have a right to defend yourselves and your loved ones, and we intend to teach you how. At the Citadel, you will learn not just strength of body, but strength of mind and strength of heart. If it's a war they want, it's a war they'll get - and we'll be ready for it when it comes.

It's time now to stand and fight, Asgard. We will not be defeated.

Pricing & Fees

There is no set fee for any one course (mostly because I'm lazy whoops) but their main priority is making sure people are capable of defending themselves, so payment can be worked out on a case-by-case basis by speaking with Arthur. For the most part though, I think I once said like 7 silver runes every other week for one course, so, you know. There's that?

---

Code of Conduct

1.) The first and foremost rule is that of courtesy - the knight's code will be adhered to strictly under penalty of banishment from the grounds.
2.) Absolutely under no circumstances are there to be unapproved or unsupervised spars or duels.
3.) At no point in time are automatic firearms allowed on the premises. ( rescinded as of Nov 2013. only took forever and a day!! )

Sample Student Application

[dragonspeak]

Name: Merlin
Age: 22
Courses: Whatever Arthur decides, most likely
Hours Available for Testing: Like I'm not around you most of the day anyway
Anything Else?: I'll be around if you need someone to look at your injuries! With Arthur as your instructor, you'll probably see a lot of me. Definitely.

[pratentious]

[ The ping from his bracelet catches his attention at once - the second coming before he's even had a chance to review the first and then -- ]

... -- Merlin!

[dragonspeak]

[Arthur might hear some laughter in the other room, followed by the unmistakable slam of a door. Someone knows better than to stick around after that.

Merlin, out.]

[auditor]

Name: Edita, Felix, Lilavati, Nadya, Piera, and Rose.
Age: Most are in their twenties. Piera is in her late thirties and pushing it, but these prostitutes are adults, okay.
Courses: Swordsmanship II for Edita. Swordsmanship I for Felix, Lilavati, Nadya, Piera, and Rose. Plus, courses for hand to hand combat.
Hours Available for Testing: Edita is available in the early morning, probably.
Anything Else? ALL PAID FOR BY CLAUDIA. Be good to her girls, and boy, Arthur!!

[pratentious]

[ Pshh, Arthur will totally be awesome with them, okay. They'll love it. It'll be great. Totally. ]

[holmes_fanatic]

Name: Conan Edogawa.
Age: 7 (Conan is okay with being pawned off on someone else -- I do not know how to go about that, so I'm posting here anyway.)
Courses: Beginner, available 6am - 8am weekday mornings, or evenings from about 7pm until 9pm although he is busy some of those evenings.
Anything Else?: Was taking kendo lessons, but his instructor dropped, so he's at least used to regular drills and getting up at stupid o'clock for training. He does have a full-time job (9-5 but if there's a case, it's more like 9-7) to work around.

[pratentious]

[ Not to worry! That course schedule is mostly just for appearances sake. Since there are a handful of people reaching swordsmanship, there will definitely be someone available to work with Conan's schedule. Unless he specifically wants Arthur to teach him, in which case, they can work something out. :3 ]

[holmes_fanatic]

[Since I think lessons are going to end up being handwaved, I'd prefer someone Conan has pre-existing CR with -- which is Arthur, England, all the Pevensies and Dean. He's fine with general self-defence lessons or swordsmanship as he kind of figures that at his size, they're not that much different.

Oh -- seeing Claudia's comment made me think. Would the Citadel be cool with hosting a one or two day general awareness and training thing for the Forensics Unit in the future? Possibly Conan and Arthur should discuss this ICly.]

[samantha_grey]

Name: Samantha Grey
Age: 19
Courses: Meditation (Maya Natsume requested)
Hours Available for Testing: N/A
Anything Else?: Samantha has made arrangements with Maya to ensure that there is, hopefully, no problem with her demonic nature while present in the Citadel. She will probably not do much socializing with others while there.

[pratentious]

[ Done & done! Let Arthur know if there's anything that needs to be arranged for her! \o\ ]

[burningcreator]

Name: Shou Hitokage
Age: 25
Courses: Swordsmanship I - TuThu 8:00am - 9:30am
Anything Else?: Shou is up at the crack of dawn, doing groundskeeper work at Gefion Park, so he'll be taking a break from work to come to lessons. Unless they want to hold lessons around 5pm when he's done working. A friend of his vanished after the darkness, and he inherited their sword, thus his motivation to learn how to use it.

[pratentious]

[ We can do it however you'd like! If you think he wouldn't want to take a break to go swing swords around, then Arthur can teach him after his training session's up. ]

[burningcreator]

[Shou won't mind taking a two-hour break from work, the park won't be as busy with fall coming anyway. And forgive me if this sounds weird, but do we actually make a log or just handwave the lessons?]

[heorot]

Name: James Potter
Age: 18
Courses: swordsmanship, self defense, hand-to-hand
Hours Available for Testing: all hours. he doesn't have a job. :B
Anything Else?: you know that annoying kid who wants to be in the club but instead of actually trying to be in it he just constantly hangs around and becomes friends with everyone? :D

WOW RANDOM ICON YOU ARE UNNECESSARILY ANGRY ABOUT JAMES BEING CUTE

[pratentious]

[ Arthur despairs of you, James. ]

WOW CALM DOWN ARTHUR GOSH

[heorot]

[ be his friend arthur ]

probably should've done this a while ago...

[flightofdeath]

Name: lord voldemort
Age: 20
Courses: archery i (session i), hand-to-hand (session i), swordsmanship i (session i)
Hours Available for Testing: when it comes to this, he'll be open for when he wants to advance to the next courses. he doesn't have any solid experience with any of these things which is why i've put him in the basic classes but he's a fast learner? so he may or may not advance fairly quickly we'll see
Anything Else?: have fun teaching voldemort and james potter at the same time (if they're gonna be in the classes at the same time, that is). idk if arthur (or any of the other instructors for that matter) knows anything about voldy but if/when he finds out about how evil he is. i'm cool if arthur wants to kick him out of classes when that comes to pass or w/e. just let me know!

[pratentious]

[ We can always assume he's been coming since he found out about the Citadel! Arthur hasn't been told about him at all yet, but we can figure it out when we get there because even if he's an evil fucker, I don't know that Arthur would want to toss him into the war defenceless. Moral quandries!! ]

Re: Potential Students

[albuquerque]

Name: Severus Snape
Age: 38
Courses: Swordsmanship I, either session III or session IV; and Hand-to-Hand Session II on Saturday afternoons.
Hours Available for Testing: N/A for now
Anything Else?: As I mentioned, Snape is very busy during the week, due to the school he's putting together (plus he works at Draco and Samantha's apothecary, plus he tutors, plus he's learning languages… Workaholic? Nooope, not at ALL). Is it possible he might be able to get lessons in other things after hours or on weekends? Not right now - he'll be fine with learning the sword and hand-to-hand for now - but later on when he wants to take up other things…? :D?

I am dying random icon is the fucking funniest from Arthur's acct

[pratentious]

[ omg Snape calm your tits jfc. Arthur would definitely be glad to help him with anything outside the set schedule, since he's proficient in everything they teach at the Citadel and is there from waking 'til sleep anyway. Workaholic bros, high five.

DAT FACE

[albuquerque]

[yes good this will be so much fun to play out. kdfjhgdf]

[albuquerque]
