YuriIf it isn't too much, I would like to request the following:
1. A practice sword
2. Access to the galley
3. A way to grow a river bean inside a pot
4. If #3 is possible, how to procure materials for it
Thank you for your time.
Of course. I will see what we can do with the list you have given me, but... For number 2 we are planning to give access to everyone due to the incident that happened this past Thursday.

Is it because the access list wouldn't matter if everything was unlocked already on Thursday?
| [ A black void appears nearby, Europa stepping out with their metallic wings fanning a bit out before folding against their back. Once they're through, the portal behind them disappears and in their hand can a dark spear be so clearly seen. They take one brief look around the combat room. Though, afterward they reach up to remove their helmet, setting it off to the side with a tsk as black wispy smoke emanate from their body. They will address her after.] How efficient are you in combat? |
[ Oh, this is. Surprising. Yuri is so surprised that she forgets to answer Europa for a moment. ]
--Ah, I have fought monsters and other things before.
[ Does that... answer their question. She is dressed appropriately with a practice sword from the armory. ]

I see. Thank you for your continuous efforts.
I'm not sure if I should separate message Adrastea for this, but I asked them during trial if the bedrooms are also left unlocked during "lockdown". Would you have any information on this?

| [ That's fine. Their expression is neutral, gold eyes watching closely, but other than their typical guarded stance they don't seem bothered. ] Sufficient then. You'll be able to keep up enough. [ Their hand reaches for their spear, offering it a quick twirl until they reaffirm their grip on it. ] Come at me when you're ready. I will not go easy. |
[ She's suddenly nervous, but it's fine. She asked for this.
Yuri quietly breathes in... out... then rushes to strike Europa's shoulder that's connected with the hand holding the spear. ]

Thank you, Amalthea. That's all the questions i have for now.
| [ Yuri, my sweet... Europa is watching her closely, gaze catching every move and the moment she strikes - their spear quickly swerves to parry the hit. They do it with practiced ease.] Try not to think too hard on it. Just let your body move. [ But in the same breath of their words, their spear is twirling to swing and aim to slam into her side with the flat side of the spearhead. With centuries worth of fighting backing them up, they will not allow any room for pause. ] |
[ is europa as old as their namesake
She twists her sword to try and hit back the spearhead. If she's successful, Yuri moves in for a low sweep in an attempt to trip them up. ]

| [ Maybe not billions year old, but perhaps a few millenniums... Their eyes catch that movement, the sound of impact echoing a little however they keep a close attention on her body language and leap right as that low sweep comes in. Their own movements light and quiet as they land with another twirl of their spear. This time, however, they will rush right at her with a sweep up of the spear aimed to her front. ] |
[ Yuri tries to half dodge and half block and neither of those turn out very well as she gets pushed back by the sweep. Maybe Europa was right about just letting their bodies flow with the movement, but for someone like Yuri, she thinks too much. Every swing has to be calculated at the right time, but she's also prone to hesitating.
Nevertheless, she makes a diagonal slash at Europa with a lot of strength behind that swing of her sword after she dashes back into the fray. ]

| [ Europa will take up on every moment of her hesitation, to have her notice, to point it out, to show the weak points in her fighting so she can better improve it. Because anyone else will not be as kind to ignore those open opportunities. Though Europa is capable enough of fighter to make it almost unfair, they are doing this to give the Crew a better chance to fight back. Prove to them how much you want to live. They parry that slash but it does push enough strength to slide them back and they meet that dash with another arch swing, pivoting themselves straight forward like a drill. ] |
[ Even without words, Europa is a good teacher. Yuri learns what she does wrong, how she can make it better, and so on. All Yuri ever wanted to do was live and now that she has the support, it's okay to keep making forward strides to get better.
The forward pivoting is hard to block and just as equally hard to hit away. She does her best to meet with it straight on, but she doesn't have enough strength to keep him at bay. As a result, the sword slightly turns from the lack of strength, making Europa's attack go through. This will probably hurt. ]

| [ It will probably hurt, but only enough to bruise if anything. Europa notes and holds back his strength just at the right moment, but after how long they have gone at this and potentially could... he will notice when things start to slow down. Eventually he will straighten, a green shimmery dragon-like tail now flicking behind him from this week's effects. ] Hm. You're still lacking in some areas, but you're learning. |
[ Dragon tail... Somehow, it suits Europa, now that Yuri has actually seen their face. Perhaps it's because of their hair color. Now that their fight has stopped, Yuri has a moment to breathe. ]
I am. I've been practicing with other members as well in the simulation rooms. With each fight, I learn from my mistakes... I hope that I can make less of them when I fight some more.
[ That bruise is gonna be there for a while, huh... Yuri usually wears clothes that cover her a lot, so she'll be fine, probably. ]
Thank you for accepting my invitation, Europa... even if you probably didn't get to fight all out like you wanted.

| [ For the most part, he listens, not necessarily talking. He does eventually set the spear aside, crossing his arms in front of his chest. ] It isn't a matter of whether I get to fight all out or not. I'm a weapon, nothing more. I do not take enjoyment or thrive from fighting like some might. I only do it because I must. [ ... ] If it helps you, you're free to request me to spar again. Better if it keeps you on your toes. |
Yes, I would like that very much.
[ ... ]
But you're not just a weapon, Europa. You're a person.

[ Yuri stares at Europa for a moment. ]
You seem to care about the crew to an extent... but you still care for them. The way you led the fight to make sure that I would notice my mistakes... that itself is a form of care.

yuri
How have you been doing since yesterday? Well, I hope... it was a strong blast. Was healing always a part of your skillset?
I have been doing quite well, thank you for checking on me, Lady Yuri. What of you? Has your recovery been swift and well?
Yes, I'm capable of both restorative, healing magick and even destructive magick as well. However, that was back home, I have not been capable of doing so while on board until that moment.
