covermyback | [Voice] Survey Time with Zelgius

[Nope, no video for Zelgius this time. But he does have some questions for Luceti.]

I have come to realize that Luceti has many strong fighters. My question is: where did you get your fighting experience from? Have you all trained by your own choice, or is it a part of your background?

Thank you for satisfying my curiosity in advance.

Yes to both actually.

How about you matey?

It seems that military experience would be the obvious answer, doesn't it? Odd how that doesn't seem to apply to as many here as one might think.

[His sneer makes it a little clear that, in his opinion, any fighters without it are lacking.]

For my part, I was a captain in one branch of our army back home.

I was raised in an Academy from the time I was five and trained for battle. Got my first weapon at ten.

I learned everything by myself!

Though I got some advice from the samurais...

[How to break it down for someone who has no idea what you're talking about?]

There's this place back where I'm from, a school sort of, where kids start training pretty young. Did that for a long time, liked it. But as far as being our choice goes or not? It's ...both.

If your parents want you in the program - you have to do it. But if they don't...well, I didn't know any kids who wanted to learn how to fight verses learning academic crap.

I was just raised that way.

I was trained by one of the greatest warriors in Albion.

From the moment I was born I was evaluated for my fighting power, and from everyday on when I was able I trained endlessly, going out on combat assignments to other planets even at a young age.

Ya got it on both counts, stranger

From:

1) Privately trained in martial arts for recreation and discipline as a child. Then by a 'specialist' mercenary group. Then the military when I was hired out by the previous group to them for that specialty.

2) The childhood training was entirely by choice. The other two by necessity for survival in my chosen career.

3) Part of my background and job.

[She chooses to answer this type of question as Mercury, and the picture window shows that blue-haired form.]

I was a guardian in my past life as well. This time, when I awakened my power as a soldier again, I also remembered the training I learned back then.

[She pauses briefly, as though unsure of precisely how to explain what she wants to try to say next.]

It was like a memory held by the body instead of knowing it in my mind.

Among my people, those who do not learn combat will ultimately perish. The desert does not favor the weak as it does in other lands.

No. It was just a place we learned how to fight for -- [Okay. Fine. This spiel annoys the crap out of Cato but - he's heard it probably a dozen times already on a yearly basis. It lost it's novelty a long time ago.]

There was a war a long time ago where I come from. Some districts rebelled against the leaders, the Capitol, and fought them - got their asses kicked. Hard. A lot of people died and the people in charge decided that they'd hold this ... thing called the Hunger Games. They'd collect 23 kids from all over and put us in an arena to fight to the death. Supposed to keep the rest of the districts under their thumb.

My district decided to train it's kids how to fight -- how to kill. It usually worked. We usually won.

[Usually.]

So, yeah, we had a choice. But it was stupid to say no. Really stupid.
