*Joji cautiously enters, looking around for the free cakes* Hmm, maybe we could work on our people skills here... *He examines the dummy and gives one a pat on the head*

Seeying the first one to show up give a pat to the dummy made Ralsei smile. He decides to move closer and greet them Hello! What's your name? Are you here to learn how to ACT? I see that you patted the dummy already so you would be on the right path to kindness!

Oh hi, I'm Joji. We'd...I'd like to learn how to resolve conflicts without bloodshed. Also...I heard there were cakes. This is pointless. Violence is always the best answer. Shut it, this is our one day off and I don't intend to sit around and do nothing *He holds out his hand. His jacket seems to ripple like water for a moment*

Oh, hello Joji, my name is Ralsei and it's nice to meet you! The cakes are on that table Ralsei points over to the table behind him which is full of cakes of mostly any type. If you can i'd ask if for now you could only take up to 2 slices, if someone else shows up they might want some too.... Anyway let me know after you eat when you're ready and we can start the training, i'll wait infront of the dummy for now Ralsei walked a bit to the right, right infront of the dummy.

*He scarfs down a slice before re-facing the dummy* Teach me your ways, fuzzy wizard. Uggghhh! *He smiles nervously, the jacket rippling again*

Sakura is lured in with the promise of cakes. The place looks pretty shabby but the dummies appeal to her sense of cute. Approaching with a sense of purpose she sticks out her hand and eyes the table with cake. Hi the name is Sakurajima but you lot can call me Sakura. So when do I get some free cake?

Ok here we begin Joji! First of all do you see the heart infront of you? That is your SOUL and you need to protect it with all you can. Try for now to avoid the slow white bullets Some white bullets would try to hit Joji's SOUL, will he be able to avoid them? in the midst of that a new figure would her entrance, as soon as he heard the voice Ralsei smiles at her and waves. Hello! My name is Ralsei, it's nice to meet you too and for sure the cakes are on the table feel free to take up to 2 slices for now... It would be nice if you waited before taking more ^^ Are you also interested in learning how to ACT? You could watch us if you don't want to join in

Vaporeon decided to come inside for the free cake, and also to participate in the lesson ... but the cake was slightly more important to them "Hello! I'm here for the lesson on ACTing, I want to learn how to resolve conflict without having to FIGHT. Although i'd be lying if I said I didn't also want the free cake whenever we can get that"

*Joji carefully maneuvers his SOUL around the bullets. It was split down the middle by a black stripe, as if he was holding another soul within him* Huh...this isn't what I had in mind, but I'm having fun either way. So how do I ACT? Don't ACT, FIGHT!

Thanks little furry dude. Sakura makes her way over to the table and carefully takes two slices. She then stares at the action with a hint of curiosity. I might be interested but I don't really have any enemies to speak of. Unless I can use this on civilians too.

Ralsei focuses back to Joji and he's ready to explain the next part You did it! Now you should be able to see 5 options: FIGHT, ACT, ITEM, RUN and DEFEND FIGHT will deal damage to your enemies, i would suggest to use it as your last resort ACT is what this whole lesson is about! It lets you do many kind actions that will calm your enemies and help you resolve your conflicts with no harm needed, for this particular example you could try to hug the dummy... RUN and DEFEND do what you'd expect and if you decide to defend i might be able to use one of my spells a bit after The choice is yours... Ralsei then notices Vaporeon and turns up to him too Oh, hello! My name is Ralsei and what about you? If you want the cakes the're on that table, feel free to get some! You can join us after you get a slice or right now if you want to eat it later

Vaporeon did want the cakes but they didn't want to risk coming off as disrespectful so they decided to wait for the cake and focus on the class for now "You can just call me Vaporeon, and I'm alright for now, thanks. I just want to learn about this whole ACTing thing first. How exactly does it work?"

Sure, just get infront of the dummy and we can start... You basically will be able to see your SOUL the culmination of your being and face an enemy (in this case that dummy) and decide what approach to have, i would go for the pacifist route myself if i have to choose after thinking for a bit he answers to Sakura aswell. Of course you can use ACT of kindness on others too, they would surely be happy about things like these

Sakura thinks for a moment and then puts down her half finished cake. Okay i'm in so do I get a dummy of my own? Can the dummy have something cute on it like googly eyes or a bow?

Vaporeon moves over to the dummy and stands in front of it waiting for Ralsei's explanation "I'm ready whenever, so what exactly do I have to do now?"

Ralsei takes out one of the dummies and puts on it the faded white ribbon. Sure, you can use this one to test By the way you followed the explanation on how to ACT and the SOUL? I don't mind repeating because you need to understand how it works before you'll be able to properly ACT Facing Vaporeon again he begins to explain dodging Alright, right now you should be able to see the SOUL Some small white bullets will try to hit it so for now do your best to avoid them

Don't worry furry dude I paid attention. Sakura approaches her dummy and hugs it. I just choose to mess with this thing instead of ACTing.

Vaporeon sees the SOUL and understands Ralsei's simple explanation. They prepare themself for the white bullets "Okay, I got it. I'm ready for whenever they start coming"

The bullets start to go in the direction of Vaporeon, this time instead of going right forward they go diagonally which adds to the challenge, in the meantime he smiles as he sees Sakura hugging the dummy. I see you chose wisely, but now why don't you try DEFENDing and dodging? In the next turn i'll show you how my spells work

Niko enters without even reading the sign. He isn't even looking at anyone either, just scrolling through his phone. "So what's going on here?"

Vaporeon was surprised by the direction of the bullets and gets hit by a few of them "Oh ... that didn't go the way I intended, I was never really good at movement or combat... as you can probably tell. That's why I want to learn about ACTing more than any form of FIGHTing. Although I guess i'll have to get better at dodging too if I want it to actually be useful"

Ralsei walks up to Niko and greets him. Hello i'm Ralsei and this is my ACTing school! I teach everyone who wants to how to resolve conflicts without the need to hurt anyone with various ACTs of kindness I have cakes too on the table if you want to have a slice The decision is yours He then notices that Vaporeon got hit and hands them a Dark candy Ah, you should get this you'll feel better after eating it But yes defending and dodging is important too but don't worry if you don't manage to do it on the first try! Feel free to learn at your pace

Sakura lets go of the dummy and put some space between herself and the dummy. She then puts both her elbows up as a silly sort of quasi defense. Okay ready sensei furry dude. So when does the magic happen? She chuckles at her own joke.

You seem ready, the bullets will appear now then the bullets start to go at Sakura's direction as her SOUL appears, she would have to dodge them with it but the fact that she was already DEFENDing would make the damage taken (if it) way less than normal.

Vaporeon eats the dark candy and instantly feels all his fatigue fade away "Wow, that thing is amazing. I feel good as new. Thanks, Ralsei! I'll certainly need to practice more, but before that ..." Vaporeon goes up to the table with cake on it and begins eating some "So goooood~ Did you make all of these, Ralsei? You really are amazing"

Ralsei blushes a little after hearing that. Yes... I had some time time to bake and i thought it would be a good way to promote this idea I'm glad you like them! Let me know when you're ready to continue with the training

Vaporeon finishes up the last bit of the slices that they took and was ready to give the training another shot "I'm ready, Ralsei. I'll try to do better this time. What do you want me to do now?"

He decides to move the dummy a bit further from him and Vaporeon incase the bullets were to start agaim You can try either ACTing, RUNning or one of my spells I would suggest ACTing or using one of my spells since RUNning will just end this fight... I guess there is FIGHTing too but i would not recommend it Like always the last choice is yours ACTing will let you choose between different actions which for now are: > Check > Hug > Hug Ralsei And the spells i could use for now are pacify which will spare a tired enemy and healing

"Alright, I think I understand" Vaporeon thinks about the possible options and smirks when he sees the third option "This sounds like fun" The Vaporeon said to himself Despite not wanting to be rude, the vaporeon still liked to have his fun every once in a while. He already knew what he wanted to do "Okay, i've decided what I want to do" Vaporeon walks up to Ralsei and gives him the biggest hug he could give

Ralsei blushes once again as Vaporeon hugs, for a while he doesn't let go of it. I... Didn't expect this It's nice tho, it reminds me of something that happened a while ago... after the hug ends he regains his normal stance. Well thanks for that but, you can try to do something to the dummy too

Niko looks up at Ralsei after hearing them. "Resolve fights without the need to fight? You must be-" Oh jesus christ this motherfucker is fluffy and cute. "...A genius."

SURPRISE NERD!! SUSIE KICKS DOWN THE DOOR. THEN SHE PULL BOTH HER ARMS OUTWARDS IN FRONT OF HER CHEST AND PUMPS THEM BEHIND HER BACK. SHE REPEATS THIS MOTION IN A SMALLER RANGE OF MOTION DOWN TO HER HIPS TWO TIMES, ONCE MORE ALL WHILE SLIDING HER LEGS IN A FAUX WALKING MOTION. SHE CLAPS HER HANDS TOGETHER WHILE BOTH HER KNEES KNOCK TOGETHER, SHE PUMPS HER ARMS DOWNWARD. PRONATING HER WRISTS AND ABDUCTING HER FINGERS OUTWARD WHILE CROSSING HER LEGS BACK AND FORTH. SHE DOES A FINGER GUN WITH HER RIGHT HAND, LEFT HAND BENT ON HER HIP WHILE LOOKING DIRECTLY FORWARD AND PUTTING HER LEFT LEG FORWARD THEN CROSSING HER ARMS AND LEANING BACK A LITTLE WHILE BENDING HER KNEES AT AN ANGLE. SHE NOTICED A DUMMY. AWW HELL YEAH! SHE WHIPS OUT HER AXE I COULD USE SOME EXERCISE EVERYONE ONCE IN A WHILE

A "Genius"? After all the times Susie made fun of him for his ways he was happy to see someone else agreeing, he smiles and says to Niko: Wow that's a bit more that i would imagine, i just think that everyone deserves a chance to live after fights! Also i don't think i've never asked but what's your name? Also do you want to join us or eat a slice of homemade cak... He didn't even manage to finish the sentence that Susie entered like a storm and destroyed one of the dummies S-susie you're back already! It's nice to see you but please be careful with the dummies!

OH, DON'T YOU WORRY SUSIE DROP HER AXE. THEN SHE GAVE A DUMMY A BEAR HUG. SHE KEPT ON SQUEEZING THAT DUMMY TIGHTER, TIGHTER, AND TIGHTER. AND THAT POOR DUMMY GOT SNAPPED IN TWO HOW THIS, TEACH? SHE SMUGS

The second dummy was destroyed, Ralsei was prepared for something like this to happen and he had something planned prior due to this. Uuuuh Susie, maybe it's better if you leave the dummies be for now... They seem scared but i know what to do just give me a second! Ralsei would run out of sight for a little bit and return with a large cake. I made this, i hope you'll like it ^^;

SHE TAKES THE CAKE THANKS FOR A FREE LESSON AND FOOD GOAT JESUS. HAHAHA!!! AS SHE LAUGHS, SHE MAKE HER WAY OUT OF THE SCHOOL

Vaporeon was shocked by the wild beast that just barged into the school. After watching her leave he turns to Ralsei “Sooooo... what was up with her?”

Must resist urge to hug... "My name is Niko, what's yours?" Niko sees Susie's... Display. "...What's her name, too? I like a girl that can kick my ass."

(Arrives at the school) Sorry I’m late, hopefully I didn’t fail
