[The mask that appears on screen is reminiscent of the cyborg Grievous - to those that have seen him before - however there is something more grounded and ancient about it, more obviously made of bone rather than a metallic rendition of such. The voice that speaks is also more earthy, without the electronic enhancements or filters, but still perhaps can be recognised. There's something calmer and more dignified in his speech.]

I have openings available for those who wish to train in the art of combat. Whether you need to learn how to use a new weapon or merely to brush up on the skills you already posses, I can be contacted for private sessions or even small groups, if there are some of you who work together.

I have had decades of experience in the field of battle with various weaponry. You may bring your own or these can be provided for you.

For those who do not know me, I am known as General Grievous. Classes will be customised to suit the individual's needs and will be available for both those who are registered and unregistered, on a case by case basis.

Any questions can be asked here, as well as making any appointments.

[reexamined]

That's a new look for you.

[generalgrievous]

To be truthful, that would be the opposite.

[Being as it's his original form - well, at least what's under that mask is. But that's not something he's yet shown anybody here.]

[reexamined]

This is what you looked like as an organic, then.

[generalgrievous]

I am a Kaleesh. I have never been a droid.

Here, I have that choice.

[reexamined]

I didn't imply you were. I'm certain the droids in your army didn't want to consider you one, either.

[Not said in a nice way.]

This is one of the "powers" you have here, yes?

[generalgrievous]

Yes, I can transform at will. It has its conveniences.

[reexamined]

And it's easy? You can do it, just like that? As an organic, are you able to take advantage of the regenerative abilities from the nanos?

[Because that's actually pretty important.]

[generalgrievous]

I do not know yet how well they work for such things.

[Especially as he's still having trouble while in cyborg form - the organic parts feel more as if they are degenerating as opposed to healing. It's something he needs to explore further. His alien form is well enough, though.]

The transformation itself is simple.

Are you having issues with repairing yourself?

[reexamined]

I haven't had a need to repair.

[Yet.]

But I don't imagine I'll simply be able to grow new parts should anything happen to me.

[And this triggers a potential thought...]

If we assume that as an organic, if you take damage, you'll regenerate- like all other organics here- I wonder what would happen if you took damage as a cyborg, and then transformed to an organic. Would the damage transfer?

[generalgrievous]

That is not something I am looking to find out any time soon.

[reexamined]

You aren't curious? How could you not be curious?

[generalgrievous]

Would you wish to lose a limb simply to find out if something worked? I do not intend to be clumsy for nothing.

[reexamined]

I wouldn't. But you've got six. I think you can afford to experiment with one.

[ret2go]

What's your opinion on hair-based weaponry?

[generalgrievous]

What can it accomplish?

[ret2go]

Well the monsters sure as heck don't like it, so I'm betting it stings like nothing else?

[generalgrievous]

Are we speaking of hair being weaved into a solid weapon?

[ret2go]

No, not really. Just hair. Regular hair.

It hurts if you get whipped with it, though.

[pummelgranite]

Great mask.

[video]

[generalgrievous]

You are impressed?

Re: [video]

[pummelgranite]

[ Hey, the kid knows what she likes. And what she likes is skulls everywhere. ]

Sure, let's call it that.

[video]

[generalgrievous]

Are you looking to be trained?

Re: [video]

[pummelgranite]

[ She lets her head cock to the side, all youthful arrogance. ]

No offense, but I doubt there's anything you could teach me that I need to know.

[video]

[generalgrievous]

There are benefits to confidence but how can you be so certain of your words?

Re: [video]

[pummelgranite]

[ The camera zooms out from her face- no, not zoom. Something is carrying the phone away from her to widen the camera's view. She's sprawled out on a throne of lilies and animal bone. ]

Goddess. Next question?

[video]

[generalgrievous]

My people also regard me as a deity.

[So he may not be as impressed - or take her as literally - as others.]

What powers do you possess?

Re: [video]

[pummelgranite]

All the imPorts have power, that doesn't prove anything.

[ Undaunted by his lack of reaction, she begins fishing around her pocket for her smokes. ]

Are your people right?

[video]

[generalgrievous]

Some powers are more impressive and useful than others.

It is an honour that I accept. It is not something bestowed upon just anyone. I have proved my worth to my people and my world.

Re: [video]

[pummelgranite]

[ She seems to think about that for a long moment, then nod. ]

I destroy.

[ She clicks her fingers and the cigarette in her hand sparks to life. ]

[video]

[generalgrievous]

How do you destroy?

[Apart from the obvious there are also more insidious ways to destroy. He's merely curious about details and not being judgmental.]

[pummelgranite]

Well.

[ She lets the terrible excuse for a joke hang in the air, and swings the conversation back around by what he said before. ]

So what's up with your godhood? They elect their deities?

[generalgrievous]

No. It was earned by my deeds and how I led my people in victorious battles.

Thus you would be wise to not underestimate my skills as an instructor in the ways of combat.

[pummelgranite]

Uh huh. And you'll offer all this value out of the goodness of your heart?

[generalgrievous]

Of course not. I expect some sort of payment as this is my current occupation here.

[pummelgranite]

Oh, wait. I just remembered I don't care.


The answer's no.

[generalgrievous]

That is your option.

What is your name?

[pummelgranite]

Persephone.

[generalgrievous]

Are you registered?

[pummelgranite]

Nuh uh.

[ But said in such a way to suggest that her actual answer is "absolutely no fucking way in hell." ]
