three (just give us something to keep us trying)

[hey you know who doesn’t handle feeling useless terribly well? this birdbrain. and jason prefers to punch his way through his feelings, so.]

un: jane doe

does anyone wanna learn self defense

i could use the practice so i dont get rusty

Comments

[ataashihunter]

I don't think I need to learn, but I'd like someone to practice with

[scathefires]

cool i can do that too

what do you already know

[ataashihunter]

Swords, axes, hand to hand, some ranged. Though I figure hand to hand might be good to practice. The downside there is the size difference. I don't want to break you.

[scathefires]

dont worry i dont break easily

i used to fight guys twice my size when i was a lot smaller

any particular style of hand to hand or do you just mix it up

[ataashihunter]

Whatever gets the job done, and if you say so then I won't worry about it.

[scathefires]

cool thats my style too

and yeah ive been doing this since i was a kid

i know my limits

[sure jason, you keep saying that and maybe it’ll be true one of these days.]

Practice sounds good. I've got some time to kill, and I could use someone to go a few rounds with. Think you can keep up?

[scathefires]

i can keep up with whatever you throw my way tiny

and if youre trying to psych me out with the stamina talk you can save it cause it aint gonna work

[tothefly]

Oh good, I was worried for a minute there you were going to back out. I would have been really disappointed.

I heard one of the locals is turning their place into a dojo. That work for you, or you want to be dramatic and meet in a field somewhere?

[scathefires]

hell if its dramatic you want why not meet in the village square at high noon

[tothefly]

Whoa there, cowboy, is this a workout or a showdown? I mean, I don't mind either, I just want to make sure I dress for the occasion.

[tevinteraltus]

You mean some sort of combat, I assume?

[scathefires]

yeah thats right

hand to hand stuff

i can show people how to fight back so you dont get murdered

might not need it now but its a good tool to have in your future toolbox

[tevinteraltus]

I might know a thing or two about that. Do any of your lessons involve weaponry of any kind?

[scathefires]

wasnt planning on starting with it but yeah eventually

probably knives

gotta start with the basics first though

[tevinteraltus]

"The Basics" being what, precisely?

I've never been formally trained in hand-to-hand combat, but things happen, as they say.

UN. A. Price

[cryptoherpetology]

I've been training in martial arts since I was a kid, if you want someone else to practice with.

[scathefires]

me too

thatd be cool

the more the merrier

any particular style you like best

[cryptoherpetology]

I'm sure we'll figure something out by seeing how our styles mesh and/or clash.

[scathefires]

well i have a lot of them and im pretty adaptable

UN: Rinoa

[alittlelonger]

Hello I would!

[scathefires]

hey

you got it

have you ever done any kind of fight training before

[alittlelonger]

Yes I know how to fight, I've been fighting monsters for a few years, but I'm not as skilled at hand to hand combat. I use a projectile weapon, or I did. I rarely had to get in close.

[scathefires]

yeah thats a little bit different of a ballgame

shouldnt be too hard to apply what you already know though

what kinda projectile weapon did you use

[alittlelonger]

They're called Blaster Edgse. They are nounted on my wrists and shoot specially designed blades at targets. Some of them are designed to come back to me if they aren't embedded too deeply on a monster.
