What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger (open)

[Shaggy Rogers]

(ooc: July 23rd. Night. Open to the adult monster/sorcerer types. Training thread mostly for Shaggy to get stronger but others can get stronger too.)

Shaggy was nervous as approached the woods. He'd come alone because he wanted to get stronger. He had Scooby-Doo, Scooby Dum, Scrappy, Amber, Thorn and the Grimwood Girls to protect. As well as being a familiar to Facilier and watching out for him, Malachite and his sons. He felt he'd gotten lucky so far but he couldn't let himself get hurt or killed. Who'd protect everyone then? He transformed into his wolf form and began charging at targets.

Shaggy looked up seeing a few arrive and grinned. He'd asked several of the monstrous or magical members to come here to help him get stronger. Some like Icy had told him to get lost but so far he was glad to see anyone show up at all.

"Hi. Thank you for coming." said Shaggy.

Myotismon walked out into the woods. Just a week ago he had admitted liking Alucard and they were starting to court. He never thought he'd end up with anyone but having another vampire as a mate did help. When he heard of Shaggy's desire to get stronger he admired the werewolf. At first, he dismissed him as a pet of Facilier's being his familiar but there was more to him. He was a great cook, good with the kids and animals of the army, and very loyal. Facilier had been smart to keep Shaggy on their side this way and he wanted to help the young man in some way.

"Not bad for a start." said Myotismon.

Ursula walked out next spotting the group. It was harder walking on tentacles but she'd heard of this training session. And wanted to help. She wanted to get stronger as well. Magic alone may not help keep her alive and she wanted to be ready.

"I pity the poor unfortunate souls who have to go up against you Shaggy." said Ursula, chuckling.

Scroop walked out spotting the group.

"Well, he's not the only one who wants to train. But he is improving." said Scroop.

[The Trickster]

(OCC: Part of me wants to be thorn cause she managed to work some herb spells here and there and she'd want to try to get stronger. I'll put her in maybe later in the thread, explaining that she got curious to what shaggy was up to)

"Indeed. He definitely has improved. I am impressed with you my friend" Moarte was also a servant to malachite and facilier and he was more than happy to help his fellow servant. Shaggy was a bit more free range than he was but moarte wanted to help out in his own way. He went over, noticing all the other adult sorcerers here and smirked "Well we should probably get started. We all need to improve one way or another yes?"

"I admire your desires to improve as well shaggy. I think it's a clever move" Trickster replied. He was fond of quite a lot of members here, but trickster had a small liking to shaggy himself. He agreed to help also, as trickster believed everyone deserved to get stronger. He then nodded to Ursula, who also impressed him quite a bit. Trickster grabbed his wand and smirked to shaggy "So, what would you like to learn first my friend?"

"Hopefully he'd like to learn something based on defense. That wolf form can only be so helpful" Jafar commented. He wasn't exactly thrilled with shaggy, finding shaggy to be a bit of a annoyance more than anything. Shaggy may have been useful but jafar wasn't exactly buddies with him. Shaggy was a bit sentimental, heroic and tended to have more qualities that reminded him too much of Aladdin. It got on his nerves. But he came only mostly to make himself look good and to inspect all the members. He liked the respect he got from most of them, and did like the fear from others but jafar was a greedy man and always wanted more.

"I think with more time he'll become unstoppable. It's rather impressive the stuff you've worked on so far though" Alucard though had no such quarrels coming here. Myotismon mentioned shaggy wanting help and alucard saw no reason not to assist. Plus he and myotismon were persuing each other finally, he felt obligated to join his mate in this activity. Plus training with your love interest was always quite fun.

"I say we get started. The kid wanted to learn. I say we give him the tools" Bradley was relatively new still but he saw no reason why not to come. Bradley was a social bird and liked to train. Doriamus taught him basic spells and magic to protect himself but overall Bradley was best at strength, weapon and survival skills. But he felt his knowledge of magic was still good and felt obligated to help a fellow member out.
