The Master & Apprentice Meme

Apprenticeship is a system of training a new generation of practitioners in a particular craft or trade. An Apprentice learns new skills from a Master, usually an older professional in their field. A Master can be a mentor and a friend, or a harshly disciplining teacher, preparing their proteges to follow in their footsteps. A Master and Apprentice typically get to have lots of one on one time. Sometimes it takes time and patience to develop a special relationship amid the trials of leaning something new, but in time most good masters will pass down plenty of trade secrets and wisdom to prepare someone special to hone their young talents and follow in their footsteps!

How this meme works:

- Masters tag in first.
- Please include in your subject line Name and Trade/Skill or Secret Order you're training for.

So this'll end up looking like, for example:
Palpatine | Sith
Tenzin | Airbending
Severus Snape | Occulmency / Potions
Haymitch | WIN THE HUNGER GAMES!
Mr Myagi | Karate

Any skill can be taught, you don't have to be an official canon 'Master' of anything, you can offer to teach anything your character is willing (reluctantly or otherwise) to pass on.

- Wanna-be Apprentices! You get to tag into these masters as your whiny, callow, n00bish, noviced selves, going through a day of training. Maybe you're still petitioning to be taken under wing! Maybe undergoing a special rite of passage, well on your way to being a master yourself! Scenarios are up to you, no RNG here!

[Katniss, why did you agree to this?

He shoots his arrow, and it promptly buries itself into the ground. His aim is okay and his intellectual grasp of the mechanics is flawless, but he just plain doesn't have the arm strength to pull the string back properly.

He sighs, lowering his bow.] I'm not sure I'm going to get this, Katniss.

So... exactly how many serial killers are active in this country at one time that the FBI needs a whole department to curtail them?

I heard... that fighting is something that you are good at. I know how to fight with a weapon, but, once unarmed, I'm a sitting duck.

...I do not like to ask for help, but, Sir, will you teach me to fight unarmed? I tire of the battle being over once I cannot reach my weapon.

*Judging by her clothing, she's been traveling for awhile, even though she's barely into her twenties. Furthermore, she seems at least as well-stocked as many of the doctors in the area - if the satchel tied to her waist is any indication. Furthermore, the staff - that is longer than she is tall - is strapped high on her hip. It looks oddly heavy, and has a strange decoration at the top, like a large jewel.*

{If you need info on Matilda here, she's an OC and her info post is here: http://pervertedhealer.dreamwidth.org/374.html - also, please let me know if this tag isn't okay. I'll edit or delete as desired. :)}}

[Danny hated a lot of things right now. But mostly his parents, for deciding he needed lessons in how to fight the supernatural. Fifteen years of Fenton family ghost-hunting trips hadn't been enough? He just hoped this guy was as incompetent as most human ghost-hunters he'd met. Things would get really awkward of he figured out the the kid taking hunting lessons was half-ghost.]

I don't suppose we could just not do any of this and say we did?
