[ JOB LISTING ] Junior Ambassador [ DIFFICULTY LEVEL ] gaia_stargaia_star [ TASK ] Introduce human visitors to the less...visceral aspects of you clan's culture. Have them leave with both a pleasant impression and a nice souvenir
Quote:
The Clans have moved forward from their traditional roots in many ways to better infiltrate and influence the human world. However, these traditions are not something to be simply tossed away and forgotten, but rather cherished and occasionally shared with outsiders.
Your horseman has been selected to show off one of the human-friendly aspects of their clan's culture. In traditional clothing, they'll be expected to introduce a small group of humans. It can be a class or demonstration, a display or lecture of sorts.
Quote:
No rolls needed.
You can choose to focus on what they teach or simply handwave that and focus on any troubles or successes your character has with the group instead. If you'd like detailed information to draw on, this is a link to horseman job classes, the canon tower, and the spoilers in this post include many many classes that involve each clans culture before the islands were destroyed.

Liya was absolutely giddy in excitement. Not only does she get to talk about how awesome it is to be a Warrior from War, but she also gets to do all sorts of demonstrations with her friend! The class was going to be so much fun showing the humans the basics of combat and even show them how to use some of their less... deadly weapons.
She hoped they'll enjoy the hands on activity they'll be having at the end of the class. Oooh now where was Rayu? Where had he gotten to? He'd better not be trying to do an ambush on her. This wasn't the time or place.
"Everyone, if you would follow me to the practice fields~" she instructed, using her arms to gesture towards their path.
Liya War Horseman; Warrior The Tower Arcana (Group D) Journal - 5"0 tall - Mother hen - Loves you all!
Humans? pets? Sign Rayu up. Could he take one home? No last time he tried there had been screaming and wailing and the head instructor made it very clear that they were not maiming this humans. (Which was totally less fun but whatever.)
But it seemed he was late. Well, no matter. he strolled right on along the group, quickly eyeballing them. None of these scrawny humans would make good trophies anyways. Not enough fight to them.
"Hey Liya. Today is a claws in day, right? So no stabbing me today." While he didn't pounce her, he did greet her with a light shove, after coming up from behind her.

Liya let out a playful squeak at the shove and allowed herself to fall to the ground to much gasping from the humans. She quickly got to her feet, motioning for them to calm down, she was totally alright, see? No harm done before gesturing to her fellow War Horseman, "Everyone this is your other instructor Rayu. With his help we just demonstrated one of the things you should not do when you are attacked from behind. Now what did I do wrong?"
From the corner of her mouth, Liya whispered "Physical claws, maybe~ and if these humans don't get what I did wrong in three guesses, answer 'em okay?"
At first Rayu was very confused. Why did she fall like that? she should have managed a simple recovery. He did sneak attack but he hadn't thought it would be enough for her to act like a fainting goat. And he had kind of... well let her know he was there.
And then she asked a question and Rayu put two and two together. they were... instructors? Crap he was bad at this. "What if I don't know the answer." he whispered back.
One of the humans piped up first raising their hand and then saying, "You fell."

Liya tried not to burst out in laughter at the answer because she was genuinely trying to be helpful and didn't want to cut down their confidence. Human were so delicate and fragile, she knew she would have to treat them with kid gloves. So rather than making a mocking response to the very obvious but incorrect answer, she shook her head and gestured for the rest of the class to try and supply the right answer.
While giving the Human a chance to think, she whispered back to Rayu "Don't ******** with me in front of the Humans, you know the right answer even if we have to demo it."
Rayu thought the human was right. Well not entirely right nothing wrong with falling. It was how you fell.
He shot Liya a doe eyes look of pure confusion. Look Rayu just did things. He rarely put anything in what he actually did.
There was some silent glances passed among the humans. They weren't fighters. Not a single one. Rayu could tell they didn't have the basics at all.
Another one dared to answer. "You turned your back to him."
Rayu did laugh at that answer, keeping it down to a light chuckle.

Liya tried not to bring her palm to her face at the second answer or Rayu's laughter. Liya tried not to bring her palm to her face at the second answer or Rayu's laughter. Although yes, she did suppose that they were correct, but the context and their situation wasn't exactly the same thing. So she instead she gave a smirk, "No, that only works if you know you have an opponent. If you were being ambushed that's a different story, wouldn't it? Assuming that you also did not panic, what should you have done when you're attacked from behind?"
The humans only stared at her in confusion for a few minutes before someone volunteered the idea, "Cry and beg for mercy?"
Shaking her head, Liya placed her hands on her hips, "Look, let Rayu show you what I should have done, okay?"
And just like that and without warning, the War Horseman launched herself at her co-teacher.
Cry and beg for mercy was exactly what humans should do. Rayu's attention was on the humans. He was only half listening to Liya when suddenly she spontaneously attacked him.
In retrospect he probably should have known it was coming.
Rayu felt the hit and melted turning to the side then threw a punch towards her belly because that was totally closer and he wasn't going to bother with a full chamber at that close range. Several more were ready to follow if she didn't stop attacking him.
He was hit, but the rolling effect reduced damage, and he didn't hurt much but he sort of stared at her in confusion.
The humans let out a collective gasp.

After a tussle interspersed with Liya identifying and labeling moves, holds, and whatnot, she eventually tapped out to give the class some basic drills to go through until the end.
