[ Believe it or not, cellphones never caught on back in Sindria. Maybe the payment plans were murder, or maybe the utter lack of technology was to blame. We may never know. What we do know is that this is Sharrkan’s first time sending a text message. He doesn’t even know what he’s doing and he’s clearly never heard of the backspace key. Oh, and he’s going to send it to everyone. Everyone. ]

[ This goes on for quite some time and even more lines, and it doesn’t get much better. Someone should save him. ]
Third Person:
Sharrkan wasn’t some kinda dumbass and he liked to think he was far from ignorant of how the world worked, but there was a lot to learn before he was comfortable with his new life in Not-Sindria: how to use a computer, what a computer even was, how to go about getting food when you weren’t allowed to gut and prepare it yourself...you know, little Holly Heights things. The most important lesson was, of course, related to swordplay. See, it didn’t take Sharrkan too long to learn that standing out in the middle of the street waving a breadknife around like a maniac – a large serrated breadknife, ‘natch, since he had his pride as a man to think about - would alarm the neighbours and attract the wrong kind of attention in next to no time.
The second, third, fourth and fifth times he tried to get some practice in this way didn’t turn out any better. In fact it was made clear that he wouldn’t get off with a slap on the wrist if he was caught one more time. Since he didn’t want to wind up in jail or something, and since his housemates didn’t want to get stuck with a reputation as The Crazy House, he had no choice but to tackle the lack of fencing in his life in a different matter.
That’s why, that morning, the people of Holly Heights would wake up to a simple but straight to the point poster attached to each and every lamppost, fence, and car windshield available.

Each and every poster is handmade with penmanship far too refined to belong to some kid playing a prank. He's serious about this and, as the future leader of the Holly Heights Fencing Club, he'll be eagerly waiting by his phone for the rest of the day.
