Well, that sucked. He was okay with researching, but computers made it so much easier than having to dig through mountains of books. That's what search engines were made for. This whole situation was looking like it was being set up to skim the boundaries of impossible, like trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon.

"What do we have to do to get training? Offer our firstborns?"

"Man, no. Most travelers want to help each other so accidents like burning somewhere down, etc, doesn't happen. You can find weapon training the same way. The gods have us go on missions and no one wants to be dealing with someone's first time swinging a weapon around." People lose eyes like that.

"One group called themselves a 'teaching council'. A guy named Merlin posted about it. You can look back on the post by searching the archives. At least they remembered to set that up." He pauses. Wait, he needs to make a warning first. "We sometimes find we've been here before. You might run into that. Best idea is to search the network for your name. If you've been here, you get the warning ahead of time."

"Weapon training, huh?" While it might be a good idea for Stiles to actually learn how to use something, the thought of having him possibly lopping an arm off or losing an eye was pretty high up there on the list of things that could happen.

"Merlin. On a council." He was trying to keep a straight face, but come on. Merlin? What next, was King Arthur going to propose a quest to save Guinevere? Maybe Winnie the Pooh could be his squire. This place was all kinds of weird. "I'll go through it later." When he was back in his room and as safe as he could get in this place. "Thanks."

"Welcome." Yes, the legit Merlin is on the council. Funny isn't it? Dirk thinks so. Next thing you know Captain Snoop will be rolling in. Or Stiller. Hey, it could happen. Dirk nods and takes a step back, getting ready to leave. "See you around."

Of course, his planned exit isn't normal. He's got shit to do. Rooftops are the faster way through Asgard. Don't judge him.
