Name: Byleth Eisner
Date: 5/10
Format: video

[ a dark-haired young woman in glasses and dark local fashion sits in front of the camera. she can't be older than 21, surely. anyway, byleth's been here for over a month and she's only posting to the network now. ]

I'm Byleth Eisner. I've met some of you already. I suppose you would call this an... interest check? [ she takes off her glasses, hanging them from the neckline of her shirt. ] Most of my recent work before coming here was in commanding my Emperor's army, but I'm an experienced teacher as well. Armed and unarmed combat, archery, strategy and tactics, riding, magic... rhetoric and composition. [ was that last one a joke? it's impossible to tell. her face gives no hints one way or another. ]

The Coven trains witches in magic, but that only does so much good. I'd like to work towards establishing a school where the Mirrorbound without martial skills can learn them. As it is, the Wilde is too dangerous for too many of us, and ad-hoc lessons aren't enough. [ she waves a hand. ] This is all... hypothetical, right now. But if this sounds something you'd like to either help with or learn from, please, let me know. In the meantime, I'm open to teaching one-on-one.

[ she seems to consider something, briefly, before: ]

... Also, firearms are new to me. I'm familiar with powder explosives, and I've seen cannons, but if anyone might help me to understand the use and maintenance of guns, I would appreciate it.

[ byleth pauses again. ]

That's all. [ and off it goes. nailed it? ]

[ ooc: open to fourth wall people! ]

Greetings, Byleth.

[Hey, here's the robo. He also has a big gun on his shoulder, so...]

My expertise is with firearms and combat, I am willing to offer my help with the use and maintenance. The guns of this world may be... primitive than the one I am used to, but the fundamental use of one shouldn't differ.
peacewithouttyranny: (Cool Fingersnap)

We shall fix that blind spot of yours- my military training should suffice.

[Monotonous as always, but he seems pretty confident.]

Guns are generally powerful than... say, a bow. Depending on the type of firearm, it may be cumbersome to use for first timers. It might take some time for you to get used to shooting a gun... But whenever you're ready, do not hesitate to contact me.
peacewithouttyranny: (Is that a thing?)

Getting used to the recoil may be the most difficult part of it. I'll teach you the proper handling and stance first, so you won't end up with a broken nose.

[Or something else dislocated or whatever disastrous result. The question, though, is unexpected and gets a pause. His 'face' is unreadable, blinking behind the mask. It's a bit before he answers.]

... I have been well. Although adjusting is... admittedly challenging, most things here are strange and new to me.
peacewithouttyranny: (And it is our duty to correct it.)

[A beat. Then, his vents hum.]

Hm, I hope you'll able to resolve your complications. [If she hasn't already, that is.] I recently found a new way to adjust to the world at least... Now that I've outfitted some of my techs to run on the world's unique energy source.
peacewithouttyranny: (If breaking the law is not enough)

[personal profile] peacewithouttyranny 2020-05-29 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[His vents hum, considering, silence for a long moment.]

...

You'll find out soon enough, Byleth. On the day of your first firearm lesson perhaps.

[Tease.]
