My name is Hafid al Ghul.

For those of you who are new here, I will do my best to bring you up to speed with the current situation. You have been kidnapped, modified both technologically and perhaps genetically, and left stranded in an alternate future. There may be people from your world or worlds adjacent to yours here. I recommend you brush up on multiverse theory to save everyone the effort of explaining it.

You've been given new abilities. They may mirror the ones you had before if you had them before or they may be entirely alien. I can offer a space in which to refine these abilities. In addition to that, if you touch another displaced person you'll trigger an empathy bond. Using your abilities and activating this will also trigger a glow in your chest - we do not know the origin of this glow yet. If there is additional hardware in your chest, it's below or in the bone.

While your power mastery is up to you, I can teach combat. I'm looking for any additional instructors willing to put in the time to ensure all among us have a basic grasp of self-defense. Date for first lesson is still pending, let me know if interested. Expect to work. I will not be babying you. Do not expect other people to carry your weight for you.

Pointless.

@daisy.johnson

[evite]

he won't baby you but please feel free to baby him
i'll give five dollars to anyone who can manage to annoy him more than me

[batricide]

If this is how you plan to conduct yourself then i rescind my offer to assist me.

[ He's not serious. Well. Mostly not serious.

Why is this his life always. ]

[evite]

you cannot possibly be this offended from one comment
my dude, you really need a snickers

[batricide]

[ you can't hear it. but there is a long, loud, annoyed sigh. ]

I need competency.

@richard.grayson

[preceded]

i'll take that five, thanks.

[Not that he needs it? But he's annoyed Damian so much he literally got off the network so-

Gimme.]

[fledges]

i'm going to take that as a compliment, which is very sweet of you

[batricide]

It's a basic fact.

[ all he wants is serious people to help him out. why is this the life he's locked into. ]

[evite]

and what? you're convinced my sarcasm means i can't throw a punch?
not to pull a ya lit tagline but you don't know me like that

[evite]

[ you asked for it ]

come and get it then
window's open

[batricide]

You don't even know what fighting style you use. I have my doubts.
But we need someone to teach beginners and you can't be that glaringly incompetent.

[evite]

wow, thanks
i'll be sure to note your approval on my permission slip

[preceded]

[There might be some small measure of regret]

sounds like a lot of effort, for a fiver.

[JUST. SAYING. And then-]

you sure your 'main squeeze' isn't going to have a problem with it?

[evite]

you know i'll make it up to you
and if you want, we can invite him to the party

[ laughs herself sick, it's fine, it's FINE ]

[batricide]

[ he's ignoring this.

but.

BETRAYAL.

BE TRAYED ME. ]

[batricide]

And you can't even refute my point.

[evite]

you can think whatever you want, but you wouldn't have come to me if you didn't trust the recommendation

[batricide]

Then what is your combat style?

[evite]

i'm afraid that's classified

[batricide]

So you don't know.

[evite]

if that helps you sleep at night, sure
i already answered your question. i'm not going to do it again

[batricide]

[ throwing his hands up. ]

Whatever.
When are you free so I can see this 'classified' style in action?
What days can you teach?

[evite]

evenings, weekends
i work remotely on thursdays, i can squeeze a class in then if necessary

@keith.kogane

[secondnature]

I can help with the training.

[This is a conversation that is going to go badly, but for once, Keith isn't going to start off the bad part of it.

Or ... he's going to try his best not to.]
