let's get down to business

[whattaprick]

Who: Nightrunners and whoever wants to make use of the training yard for whatever reason.
When: S2 D1-D5
Where: The Training Yard
What: Training, or pointing and laughing at people training.
Warnings: Explosions and swearing, probably.

Though it's never really been off-limits, once they're down off the moon, Lambert wastes little time informing the nightrunners he officially expects them to get back to training and getting in shape. They can make ample use of the training yard facilities to learn how to work with each other after their extended vacation, or just get to know their newer coworkers in an environment closer to what their actual working conditions will actually be like.

The yard, as usual, isn't limited solely to nightrunners. Anyone who wants to work on their physical or magical skills are welcome, as well as anyone from the other departments who have anything they might want to test out that requires a combatant, for some reason.

Lambert's generally a constant presence at the fringes, sometimes participating in exercise or sparring himself, but mostly just watching and making sure no one's about to put someone's eye out or break the equipment, because that would be bad for obvious reasons.

Welcome to nerd talk, Joker, you can never escape.

"My magic's different. It's more complicated back home, but in the carnival it connects like to like—reflection to reflection, for example. Perhaps that can help compensate for the problem the lack of math might have?"

Strange is right in his zone as he starts talking about magic. It's obvious that he can ramble on for literal hours unless Joker cuts him off or changes the topic.

"We could combine it with whatever magic you used to enchant the cufflinks—or did you create those out of magic yourself?"

"Like ta like, huh?" he muses, although that certainly makes sense now that he thinks about it. It certainly explains some of the magic he's seen Strange do. Something he'll have to look into, once he's done figuring out his own messes.

Strange's latest question just has him laugh. "Oh, definitely not. It was plain enchantment, honestly, on things I have around." He winks playfully. "Thought I would put my jewelry collection ta good use. Everyone got somethin' different." That'd probably been the easiest thing out of the whole process, honestly. But what Strange is suggesting...

"When are ya free, then? After we get back inta the usual routine, maybe we can work that kind of magic out."

[kingsroads]

It's like asking the prima donna if they'll sing the lead solo at Christmas. Strange just looks so pumped at the idea of working out magic and working with Joker to create some entirely new sort of spell. He can't hide the massive grin that spreads over his face.

"Aside from performances, I'm free most evenings." After all, Strange certainly isn't going to train in the dark. Evenings are reserved for working on his routine and messing around with magic. "But I'm flexible. Honestly, the only thing I have set in stone is nightrunner training in the afternoons, but I can easily skip some of those if that time works best for you."

Sorry Lambert.

Fortunately, Lambert's hold on the Nightrunners won't be disturbed. Joker is just a gentleman like that. (And, besides, he already has Strange as a magician, he's half his egotistical mess too.) He waves his hand blithely. "Evenings are fine. I'll let ya know when a good time for me is." Once he's satisfied that things have mostly returned to normal and all his performers are able to do well under the spotlight, he's sure he'll have time.

But for now... He nods to the rest of the course. "Shall I leave ya ta yer practice for now?"

[kingsroads]

Strange nods, as he turns back to the course. "You know my radio—contact me whenever you wish!"

And, content that's a good way to end the conversation, Strange starts muttering slightly as his magic springs back to life.
