Does anyone know where I can get a flashlight? I'm sorry I lost mine two days ago. The hallways are really dark and scary so I can't see or know where I'm going.

P.S. Does anyone know where we can get stronger?

Edit: Another note has been added below.

Are there any fighting teachers that are willing to teach weapon combat? I mess up a lot so...somebody very patient please? I'm sorry.

Stronger? If you mean where you can learn how to fight, or where you can go to improve, there's a couple of clubs and a few individuals that can probably help ya out with that. If you mean 'where we can get our powers back', your guess is as good as mine.

Oh, so nobody has gotten a bit of their powers back? That's a shame. I only know how to do long-ranged fighting and that's it. There's not much I can do here though.

Well, you get 'em back when the Institute's bitchminions drag you off so you can get brainwashed, but I kinda doubt that's what you're after. If long-ranged fighting's all you can do right now, why not hook up with somebody who can teach you close combat?

B-brainwashed? ~~nonononno I want to keep my memories~~
I...don't know anybody that could teach me. I only know a little bit of close combat, but I'm not very good at it. I mess up all the time.

Yup. You really haven't heard of that happening here? The effects only last a night, but it's a pretty big thing.

Y'mean, you don't know any teachers in general, or you don't know anybody who could teach you specifically? 'Cuz there's quite a few people who can teach, or so I've heard. And, hey. I won't say practice makes perfect, but it does make improvement. Usually. Sometimes.

Hopefully?

I only know that they sometimes run experiments on people. There was one person who lost an arm, then got a new one the next day. What happens to the people who are brainwashed?

Both. I haven't met any fighting teachers here. Practice does help improve...for most people I think

It's kind of hard to remember. But in the end, the one who's been brainwashed gets all their powers and items back, and they work for the Institute to attack other patients, thinking that it's all their own choice.

Ask around on the bulletin! Try the Boxing Club, too. They'll be meeting tomorrow, in the Staff Training Area on the second floor. Is it hand-to-hand you're interested in, or weapons-based combat?

That's horrible! I hope that it doesn't happen to me, I don't want to hurt my friends!

Um...I'm interested in weapons-based combat. My fingers would probably break if I tried to punch something hard.

It does kinda suck, yeah.

Well, uh, about that. You probably just need to learn how to punch something properly, that's all.

What about those that have been brainwashed? Do they stay brainwashed forever? Or worse, are they killed after being of use?

I never knew that punching required intense training. It doesn't sound as easy as learning how to shoot a cannon.

Nope. They wake up the next morning, back to normal and able to remember almost everything.

Hey, I never said it required intense training! It's just that there's a trick to it.

It sounds really bad since they're forced to fight their own friends and remember it all. Knowing that you did something horrible to your own friends.

Oh, I see! Kinda like knowing an easy way to remember facts for ~~history~~ tests.

It's kind of what this place is all about. The psychological torture, I mean.

... Yeah! Kinda like that. But you have to know how to apply it practically, not just in theory.

~~psychological torture~~ The hallways are really scary at night. since you can't see where you're going. Almost like being surrounded by the enemy troops during warfare.

And that's why there are practices! Look, I made an extra note![arrow points to the first post]

...I wonder if anyone would notice...

… Yeah. That bit doesn't bother me much, since I'm used to it; just like I'm used to monsters. Thing you've really gotta do is not fall for heir demoralization campaign. And they're really really good at being demoralizing.

That's the spirit! And if you don't get noticed, get yourself out there - ask club leaders over the bulletin, turn up for the Boxing Club meeting tomorrow night. Stuff like that!

How often does that happen?

Every other night, as far as I know. With one person getting snatched for brainwashing on the experimentation nights, too.

Huh. Sounds like fun!

Nnnnot what I'd call fun, personally.

It depends on what sort of weapons training you're looking for. You may wish to specify: short blades, swords, staff, etc.

um...I don't know exactly. I have experienced fighting with guns, but I doubt it'll help me here. Maybe a long stick-training? I'm small and very clumsy, so I don't know how well I'll do.

Staff might do well for you then - but perhaps two shorter versions rather than one longer. If you are small as you say you are, then it should give you a little more mobility.

I wasn't the best staff wielder, but I could likely give you a few pointers, if you like.

Okay, I'll try using one first...if I can find one. Any advice will do, being new at this and all.

...I'm sorry, but how should we do this training? Is is alright if I try this style? There's a couple of other people that are willing to teach me, but I don't know what type I'll be good at.

If you can get someone to pull down your closet rod, I'm sure someone could cut it in half for you. Or I could, but I'd need a sharpening afterward.

Hm, well, right now I'm a bit...unfit for teaching, but once I'm healed? Is there a shift where we could meet in the courtyard, we could practice with fallen branches. I'm sure those have to exist somewhere.

I think I can find someone who can do that, but not the sharpening.

Ah, I'm sorry. I hope you'll heal well. I hear that they're taking us somewhere tomorrow. And I think there's two shifts on...Sunday where we could meet outside. Once you're all better.

I recently found a new flashlight for myself, but I'm used to not having one. I could give you mine. Also, if you have a chance ~~tomorrow~~ er Sunday, perhaps I could explain to you about this group I'm working with.

If you like. The flashlight offer is still good.

-Armand St. Just

Really? Thank you! But, are you sure you don't need it? And what does your group do?

We deliver things, or at least I hope we will. Almost as importantly, the pairs would try to learn from one another. I can explain better in person. I dislike speaking openly on the board.

And no, I don't need it. II travel with my friend, and I can't carry a sword and a light at the same time.

I understand. What time is best for you on Sunday? I don't think I have anything planned on that day. And I guess you'll have to give me your flashlight somehow tonight. ~~what was my room number?~~

I could bring it to your room. Since you're in the women's block, I can't ask you to walk through the dark all the way to the Clinic. I only need to know where to find you.

I just asked my nurse and she said that my room number is F3. So I'll wait for you in my room. Is that okay?

Yes, it's fine. I will be as quick as I can.

I can help with training, if you want. I've got experience in CQC, armed and unarmed.

--Sergeant TK-622

Oh! Thank you Sergeant, although I'm not sure how well I'll do. What does CQC mean?

Whatever you can learn will always be a help to keep you safe.

Close Quarters Combat. It's what I was trained in for the Stormtrooper Corps.

Okay, when's a good time for you to teach me? If it's tonight, maybe a quick lesson? You probably have something important to do tonight.

I have some work to do for the courier service that I should get to. I will be available tomorrow, although the trip to the town may make that problematic.

As this person said, there is a Boxing Club that will meet tomorrow night. I'm not trained in any specific discipline of martial arts, but if you meet me there, I would be happy to teach you what I know, and I'm sure there will be other people who can help you, too.
