FEBRUARY SEMINAR OVERFLOW

WHO: All imPorts who haven't taken the evacuation option!
WHERE: The Royal Mansions Resort in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
WHEN: February 16-20, from 10 AM to 8 PM.
WHAT: ImPorts attend The Perestroika Seminar to receive mandatory training and brainwashing. Need a quick recap? Be sure to check out a brief description of what they'll be doing HERE, though we will be separating this into sections for your reading pleasure! ImPorts will be able to distract themselves with their mental link on the network during brainwashing videos, and imPorts who possess a strong will will be able to resist being successfully brainwashed. We leave the extent of the ramifications of brainwashing up to the individual players, and what they are comfortable with. Please direct all questions HERE.
WARNINGS: Brainwashing, mental manipulation, and possible violence. The original log can be found HERE. Please remember that anything written in this log will not count for AC -- it's just up so that any players who have continued their logging don't need to deal with captcha. Have fun!

Precisely. Even if you feel that you are doing nothing... as you are now, for example, that is not entirely the case provided you are alive; biding your time and persevering is as worthy an option as anything else.

[Saint Walker folds his hands in his lap, no longer meditating, but he does take pains to observe Fuu's posture and stance.]

Focusing on one's heartbeat is not exclusive to meditation. In any situation in which you feel you need to sharpen your focus, I suggest that you concentrate on your heartbeat to the exclusion of your surroundings, to the exclusion of any distractions. It is not a state I recommend being in permanently, but it has its uses.

[Fuu nods, thinking about it in a technical sense as well. Her heart beats, her blood processes oxygen, endless messages flash up and down her neurons, controlling processes she doesn't even think about.

But it is good advice that he gives... like taking deep breaths, or counting to ten.]


It would get rather distracting if you didn't think of anything else--there are so many uses to put a heartbeat to. But I will keep that in mind, the next time we're in a stressful situation. [She smiles, out of keeping with their situation.] In fact, I'll have an opportunity in just a few hours to follow your recommendation.
