[Video / Action] Danger Room is go!

[Natasha doesn't normally make open posts on the network and she's been fortunate so far in that the magic here hasn't decided to reveal her at inopportune or embarrassing moments for everyone else. Today she makes an exceptionhowever, opening a broadcast for the network in general. When the video starts, it reveals the redhead dressed in her typical sparring attire in a bright open room. Her manner is friendly and open because she's here for a reason today. Which should be apparent when the video pans out to show the expanded room behind her.

It's a mix between a gym and a training facility, something resembling the rooms that had been used back at SHIELD for the more extreme styles of training. There's no weight machines or treadmills here, but there are two large sparring rings off to one side, an aerialist set-up and high bars, a large climbing wall, and a row of waiting punching bags and training dummies. A simple running track rings the outside of the room and the entire area is lit by large windows on the far side of the room overlooking the lawn. The opposite side of the room holds a large obstacle course for training purposes. Behind it, the wall held a series of doors that led off to smaller rooms for private sessions, weapons training and a holographic simulator - the one room that was still in progress as Tony tinkered with it. The entire floor is one large mat, letting any space be potentially useful for whatever needs the users had. ]


Hello, Wonderland. I've heard a lot of discussion about this lately and about a week ago, some of us decided to do something about it. I know there's training and self-defense and weapons classes that happen at various times and places around here, but a few of us thought having one centralized location for these might be helpful. We had a facility similar to this back in our home and it was almost always in use.

This one will be here night or day and open to anyone who wants to come and learn or practice with others and if the existing lessons occurring would like an equipped place to hold them, we have private rooms set up along the side as well as this central one. We're also working on a room that can simulate battles and attackers in hologram form but we're still testing that out as our resident genius is still tinkering with the technology, so I apologize ahead of times if there's any bugs.

That said, you can find this room on the first floor in Rooms 20 and 22. I'll be here for most of the day to answer any questions or help out if you need it.

Also, on that note, I know I've offered this to a few people, but I suppose I should make it official. If anyone would be interested in learning self-defense or weapons skills, I have a wide variety of hand-to-hand knowledge and training in... well. A lot of things. I've been passing this on to some people, but I don't mind adding new students to people interested in learning, or even just testing themselves against someone, if you're in search of a sparring partner. I'm sure some of my fellow Avengers are also interested in doing the same, so you can let me know here or stop by.

I've found I have a lot of time on my hands here and I'd like to see about filling a bit better. [This is confessed with a bit of a rueful smile, because she's sure she's not the only one with this sentiment. She doesn't bother with goodbyes, but flicks off the feed after that, letting interested parties respond however they'd like.]

((OOC Note: Feel free to respond via video or stop by in person, Natasha will be chilling in the training area for a while to answer questions or set people up for lessons with whoever she knows of that might best benefit them. And don't be surprised to find random other Avengers wandering in and out as well.))

If you've got the time, I'd like to train with you.

[Maybe it's weird, but he prefers to train with women. He finds that in general, he can learn a lot more from them than from males. Then again, coincidentally, most of his training partners and teachers have been female. So that might have something to do with it too.]

I don't have a lot of formal training.

I ran around with a sword killing things in my world. [More specifically, he used it like a bat.] I've sparred with people here, and a troll taught me some moves.

[If he ever finds a teacher harsher than Redglare, he'll be surprised.]

But that's it I guess.

Yeah. They're an alien species from another universe I think. Their society is based around war and survival of the fittest.

[But they're still pretty cool.]

Everyone on my team had a different fighting style, but most of us didn't really know what we were doing. We just used whatever we found.

I started out with a golf club, but there was this weird shop in town and...

[He shrugs. The details don't really matter.]

I should probably learn to fight without a weapon. I don't usually carry one around, and my powers don't always work during events.
eatsyourscience: (everyday is pretty much the same)

[He definitely agrees with her assessment there. He's been through too many events where he didn't have or couldn't get to a weapon, and his powers didn't work not to agree.]

I have a few powers I can use. I don't have to when I fight, though. Sometimes it's better not to, in terms of strategy.

I can demonstrate, if you want. That will give you a better idea.

[He nods. He's done this before for others, especially if he was going to spar with them in one form or another. It's only fair.]

Any time.

[He can get Tohru or Ned to cover for him at the diner.]

How about now?

[Souji smiles back at that.]

Then I'll see you in a couple minutes.
