[Filtered to close friends/anyone interested | Unhackable to Lelouch]

Looks like I'm behind schedule, but if this gets done ahead of time, it'll all be in the past. Once again, I need the same people who helped me make Lelouch's party possible. New volunteers would be really nice, too. Assuming it'll snow again, the party will take place inside the inn and I need some room for games and stuff.

I already have someone take care of the cake and decorations, so there's no need to worry about them.

Listen, I have a problem with this friend of mine. I just can't help but be concerned about his, uh... body being way out of shape. Frankly, it worries me.

So. How do you convince someone that they need to exercise?

Very well.

... If you are looking for a means to inspire him to willingly exercise, it may be effective to set up a situation where his lack of physical capability is made apparent to the point where he accepts that he must remedy it.

Then perhaps a staged attack would suffice. For example, if I were to disguise my identity and attack him physically - nothing serious, just enough to cause him to fear for his well-being - he would have to realize the danger of being so unfit.

At that point, you could "intervene", driving off my feigned attack so as to display that your training is a valuable asset.

Of course not. I would have full control of the situation.

That is why he would not be informed that the attack was staged; if he was to learn that there was no legitimate threat, he would lose his drive to improve.

If he was willing to do so in the first place, then this dilemma would not exist at all. He must be forced to realize that he needs training.

You do not seem pleased with my suggested course of action.

[identity profile] lambda-driven.livejournal.com 2009-11-27 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
There is no need for concern. I am a professional.

In technicality, no. However I have served under several, and have successfully applied their methods previously.

It is not impossible that my circumstances were distinctly different from yours; from what I gather, my military experience is unusual in comparison to most.
