I'm still not an expert, but back home I was training physical combat. You know, get some muscle on this bones. [ Kaneki laughs lightly because he knows he is really skinny and weak and lacks muscle ]

Since now I'm here and the person who was training me isn't, I was wondering if anyone would mind training me? I'm not terrible at it, but I'm also not great. [ and he may also lack some self-confidence ]

I have super-strength and I'm also very sturdy, and I don't want to hurt anyone so... [ yeah ] Anyone with super-strength as well would probably be for the best.

Soooo. [ a pause. Kaneki isn't sure if this is how it goes ] I think that's all! Thank you for listening!

[ Kaneki recieves this response later in the evening. ]

Hi. [ Bader just pops into frame with a casual smile. She no longer has bits of jugular between her teeth. So that's good. ]

[ not here ]

[anthropophagite]

[ n O ]

[ not here ]

[anthropophagite]

[ oh god she is smiling what is he supposed to do. Watching ghouls eat and kill people is NOT something Kaneki is comfortable with and sincerely something he was not expecting to see in this world.

Everything is a mess.

What is he supposed to say to this person? ]

[ smile awkwardly, that's what he is supposed to do ]

Hello.

[ Bader is willfully ignorant to Kaneki spiraling into a panic. He reeked of hunger that night; it was a neon sign behind his eyes. Maybe it was cold feet, being a rookie vampire.

Right? Clearly they both know what the other is. ]

You know, I have some basic training. Self defense. That sort of thing.

How's the search going?

[anthropophagite]

[ he isn't going to tell her about this girl who offered and Kaneki met her when she was bitting some guy's neck ]

Nothing yet, but I'm sure there will be some offers.

[ ah, the glory of vampires... ]

If you don't mind suggestions... it might be worth asking if Reiner Braun is interested. I'd say me, but I'm not sure how worried you are about causing temporary damage.

Well, I'm kinda a tutor for that kinda thing at the Xavier school, so that's an option, if you want. And I've also got super-strength.

[For three minutes and forty-five seconds an hour, but details.

[ yeah school sounds. bad. If something bad happens, he doesn't want to make a mess and involve other people ]

I'm not really in control of my powers right now, so I don't want to risk being at a school when using them. I could hurt someone. [ none of it is a lie ]

[earnedmystripes]

[.....Oh, no. That hits a very, very old wound, and there's an ache in his chest, reminding him of what it was like to feel that way, so many years ago. Instantly, he feels protective.]

Oi, oi, that's what this school is for. The regular schools here aren't really good for handling kids with powers they're still learning to deal with, so that's why this school was made in the first place.

Don't worry, okay? The people here'll teach you how to use your powers. It might feel like all they're meant for is to hurt others, but I promise you that's not true.

I know aikido back home. And I'm one of the instructors -- er, assistant instructors or whatever for martial arts here. Also with super strength. So I wouldn't mind helping if you need a hand. I'm Brenda.

[There's a wave and a smile in greeting at the introduction. She knows how he feels on the not wanting to accidentally hurt anyone.]

video;

[anthropophagite]

[ oh this sounds perfect! Kaneki replies with a big smile ]

Hello, Brenda. I'm kaneki Ken. [ she can call him both of the names, if she wants ] That would be real helpful.

Are the classes with other people, though? Or is alright if no one else would be around? [ because. yeah. his issue isn't with super-strength, but something else ]

[ This idea of a network is still very strange to him. He's not totally comfortable with it, and half of what's said on it makes even less sense to him than the network itself.

This city is lonely, though. Too lonely, so he ends up watching it quite a lot, and...

This subject is not strange. Even if the medium is. ]

did you find someone ?

i know how to fight

[anthropophagite]

I have, but I don't mind training with more than one person. I'd like to learn from several, if possible.

Do you have super-strength or something that would handle such?

[crabcake]

How strong are you?

Text

[anthropophagite]

[ he... has no idea? ] I'm not sure how to measure it.

I can throw an adult man up flying with a punch? [ he is actually stronger than that. But he never went berserk on someone, thank god ]

video.

[wotters]

Wow, you have super strength? [ Excuse me, dear Kaneki. Did you want a serious caller answering to your request? ] Hey, if you have super strength you wouldn't need muscles, right? But to be training, that's so cool. I don't have super strength but I guess I should find somewhere to train too!

video.

[anthropophagite]

[ WELL he is fine with. chit-chat too, but Kaneki will just be a bit awkward about it ]

Well, even with super-strength, I think I should just try and get better. [ probably. Yeah. it's not really the truth, but it's close ] What do you plan on training=

[symmachy]

Super-strength isn't a problem for me. I can train you.

[anthropophagite]

I'd appreciate it a lot.

Do you train other people, like in classes or...?

video;

[clinomaniac]

I can probably help.

Training for fighting supernatural monsters? Sort of thing.

video;

[anthropophagite]

Really? So you have super-strength as well? [ this is important, because he can't shut it off, he might hurt someone ]

voice, private.

[altercate]

Did you find someone yet?

voice, private.

[anthropophagite]

I have, but I don't mind training with different people. I think it makes me more versatile.
