[open] Axes of the Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!

Who: OPEN!!! Anyone and everyone is welcome here, please drop in!
When: March 15th.
Where: The Thorsson backyard.
What: Sparring! Characters who have no weapons yet but want to try out something, or who want to try out new weapons, are welcome as well!
Warnings: Violence.


Imagine that there was a network post asking for people to come to a afternoon of sparring and training/trying to force echoes. There was a specific emphasis in the post for people to not bring powers or firearms into the mix, only all kinds of short range weapons - swords, axes, knives, maces, halberds, anything really. A part of the idea, as was explained, was not only to provide a place to try out different weapons but also to have multiple people use weapons in a small area, allowing for battle echoes.

So the day has come! The place is the backyard of the Thorsson's downtown store/private buildings, a relatively large areal closed off with buildings belonging to the family on all sides.

There are all kinds of weapons - real ones and some larp weapons as well - on a table in a corner of the backyard that cannot be used for sparring since swings, a sandbox and a bench are located there. Protective gear like chainmail and helmets can be found as well. Some refreshments in form of apples, juice boxes and bananas, all in open boxes, have been placed next to them along with water in bottles.

So those that brought no weapons can borrow those proffered, and those that brought their own ones can try out others as well.

It is far, far too late to hide. Fil was well aware of that. And there's things he won't abandon in Locke. He also know he's luckier than many many people out there.

"Of course it's a mess. Did you expect anything else?"

Tony still held on to the vague hope, but he knew better. Things never went back to the way they were and he knew that better than most. There wasn't much tying him to any sense of duty mind you, but one person he couldn't let down. So running from the city really wasn't an option, even if the thought had briefly crossed his mind.

"Can't say I expected Snakezilla in the first place, to be honest."

"I don't think anyone expected snakezilla or aliens. My Ma grew up in this city. None of this stuff was going on when she was a kid." Really, Fil had been expecting a very normal East coast city when he moved into his Uncle house and a normal eight to five internship. Talking animals, giant robots, special powers were the furthest thing from 'normal'.

"If it was, you'd think we'd be more prepared for it. Not this..." He gestured vaguely as he searched for the word to explain a situation he just couldn't. "This." Yes, that summed it up nicely.

Nothing is normal and everything is terrible now.
