(open) miyagi-do gathering for new & existing students!
Who: You, you, and you!
What: For members of Miyagi-do, those interested in Miyagi-do, and whoever else might end up there! (Visiting a friend, etc)
When: Some time first half of month.
Where: At Miyagi-do Dojo in Crenshaw!
MIYAGI-DO: A NEW DAY (AN APRIL LOG)
Miyagi-do has seen some unexpected activity in the last few weeks, but has also--fortunately--seen a return to normality. An upgrade, even, where the damage sustained after a student's accidental explosion caught parts of the dojo in the ensuing chaos now gone after hard work hired, with thanks to the builders and those who helped with funds.
Even the sensei of the dojo has recovered from his own injuries, welcoming students--old and potentials--to classes. Along with a few touch-ups to the dojo, there are other changes, new and old, that should be addressed:
And in his announcement for the start of April's lessons, Sensei LaRusso has a bracelet to share to those who want one, after he's explained what they are. They're ice-powered bracelets--not super powerful, but with proper training they can be used as a means of defence. Spread ice over the ground, freeze certain limbs to surfaces, or even use it to shroud an enemy's face just long enough to distract them.
Sensei LaRusso will show how to use the bracelets to manifest the ice, and Robby Keene will also help in demonstrations, as well as with students individually. Dummies and can be used as stationary targets, and are a great way to learn how to disappear the ice, too--especially if you want to focus on using them for actual living targets, which either Sensei LaRusso or Robby can help with (or, if you're really that into getting iced...!).
Feel free to make your own toplevels on this log, it's meant as a mingle for existing students and those interested in checking out Miyagi-do! You can hang around the snack table, practice some karate, meet the teachers (and food provider...), maybe try out the new fun ice bracelets or.. you know, you can always just hang out with Daniel's Omen. He's a good boy who will stop to get belly rubs from everyone. You can't reject him. Sorry if you sat down for three seconds and are now stuck with a dog on your lap. He will not move.

An upgrade, even, where the damage sustained after a student's accidental explosion caught parts of the dojo in the ensuing chaos now gone after hard work hired, with thanks to the builders and those who helped with funds.
Even the sensei of the dojo has recovered from his own injuries, welcoming students--old and potentials--to classes. Along with a few touch-ups to the dojo, there are other changes, new and old, that should be addressed:
1. A (SEMI-)NEW SENSEIHe's been around for a month now, but here's your formal introduction to Miyagi-do's second sensei, Sensei Toguchi. Sensei LaRusso would have introduced him as a...not old, but dear friend from back home who has also learned from the school of Miyagi-do back in Okinawa. Skilled in the use of sais, you may find Sensei Toguchi a different kind of sensei from Daniel LaRusso. But we'll let you see that for yourself.
2. YOUR VERY OWN SNACK PROVIDERTruthfully, this is a figure who's been around the dojo since the start, doing exactly what he does now...but Daniel LaRusso would not be himself if he didn't take some time to introduce Hakkai to the class as the person who makes their snacks and refreshments. Because Hakkai deserves his thanks, and you cannot escape a dad man like Daniel.
3. ICE BRACELETS: A NEW FORM OF PROTECTIONMiyagi-do has always worked to help individuals with what it is they want out of the dojo. Sometimes, this can just mean having somewhere to meditate and to find comfort in your own body than to focus on the fighting aspect. But Miyagi-do always leans towards protection, and learning how to respond and to engage with danger. It works to help individuals learn how they can use their own powers in ways that they prefer.
And in his announcement for the start of April's lessons, Sensei LaRusso has a bracelet to share to those who want one, after he's explained what they are. They're ice-powered bracelets--not super powerful, but with proper training they can be used as a means of defence. Spread ice over the ground, freeze certain limbs to surfaces, or even use it to shroud an enemy's face just long enough to distract them.

ENDING NOTESThis log covers the first lesson of April, as well as continuing forward if you want to add extra days and lessons! Please familiarise yourself with what Miyagi-do teaches. Newcomers are welcomed, and there will always be a place to get food and drink...thank you, Hakkai.

which in this case is kind of right, not that he knows it. either way sorry for the cursed existence but mob finds this skill impressive still, enjoy him now considering hakkai the reliable guy to go to about Doctor Things.]
You have a car here? [no wonder he's friends with daniel car salesman larusso. this is surely not a dragon! to be fair mob looks kind of awed at the idea of a car being here, as though he was told it was a dragon. cars are rare in trench, okay...]
no subject
[And yes, it's ... magical, for him. Sort of. He definitely learned what he knows somewhere. Probably a library. But on the other hand, he's had so much experience he'd probably qualify as a doctor.]
[At the next question, he laughs a bit, for once, it's not the one he uses to ward off conversation. It's a real one.]
Oh dear, that does sound confusing, doesn't it? Jeep-! [He sets the clothing down for a moment, calling over his shoulder... and... there's his omen. Landing on his shoulder like a parrot.] This is Jeep. He came with me, it seems. And... ah. He did have the ability to become a car, back in our world.
[And we just don't question it.]
no subject
[humans, or whatever hakkai is. now they are squid. for a moment he wonders if a marine biologist would be more qualified but... probably not. probably.
okay it's time to meet jeep, who makes mob blink but offer a very, very faint smile. not many of those since the destruction so thank you, jeep, you are doing excellent work.] He's really cute.
[is it cool to call a dragon (car???) cute? well it's true so them's the brakes, bad pun unfortunately intended.] I never heard of a world where dragons can become cars. I wonder why he can't here... that must be kind of weird for him.
no subject
[If something was weird, or changed, he'd be back at square one, trying to figure out how people could be healed up. Thankfully, it doesn't seem that way.]
[... also, if they were squid now, that would certainly be a lot more helpful in certain respects.]
Haha, thank you. He's been with me for quite some time. I don't know what we would do without him. [Seriously, it's very handy to have a pet who can not only claw the bad guys, but almost squish them as a motor vehicle.]
You may be right. But, on the other hand! We don't need to constantly ask him for a ride.
