(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.

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.

He bristles again at the thought, this man is no mage, no witch.....! Does he dare to presume they could do anything together.......! .....But again, that other thought echoes. The man is a teacher. A teacher is important. A higher rank of humans.
Paimon stares for another long bout of silence that stretches on and on, Daniel's last words hanging in the air between them. If the demon is thinking about those words or affected by them, he doesn't outwardly show any indication of it... just staring....
Until, abruptly, alarmingly, he falls from the ceiling. It's with a dull and unpleasant thud, a long body hitting the floor and crumbling like a spider, but he doesn't seem injured, and in fact gets up again extremely quickly, scuttling again on all fours. It's maybe good he's off the ceiling, but it's probably not much better where he ends up, which is under Daniel's bed.
The demon presses himself flat so that he can fit and then squirms beneath the man's bed, shuffling around under there for a few moments before he goes still again. A pair of big wet eyes then open up and peer out from the shadows.... )
WHAT SHALL THE TEACHER PRESENT TO KING PAIMON, LUCIFER'S MOST LOYAL...? WHAT CAN THE TEACHER OFFER TO DO?

Daniel definitely startles when the creature in Peter's body just drops down to the ground right that. Partially because it's so sudden, partially since he knows the demon is dangerous and definitely does not want to get that much closer to it, and partially probably even out of concern for Peter's body, surely it can't be healthy for the poor guy's body to be flung around like this..
It's definitely not his proudest moment, but he definitely stumbles back a step, only managing to catch himself in time before he'd just fall over onto the ground. God, Daniel sure feels like he's aging a decade right on the spot here..
Especially when the demon asks him something like this. Something Daniel has no idea as to how to answer. What would a demon want to do, other than.. creepy sacrificial stuff you'd only see in movies..?? ]
Plenty. [ Daniel manages to say, surprised at how his voice sounds much more steady than he feels right now. Thanks, whatever part of his brain is still managing that. He owes you. ] It just depends on what you do like, if you don't like karate.
[ There's a small pause, and then he adds, perhaps as a semi-offering: ]
Robby told me a little bit about you. [ Mostly since he's pretty sure that might land better with the demon than saying 'Peter told me'.. his opinion of Peter and Peter's activities doesn't seem too high, after all. ] But he didn't tell me what you like to do.
