"Ooookay...." [b]He slowly backs away.[/b] "Uh.... Is this a place where I can train? Get better at combat?"
English
-
Why are you backing away? Oh, and yes it is
-
[b]He shifts awkwardly.[/b] "Uh.... N-no reason. Anyway... can I go in? And train?"
-
Yeah, I guess you can. But come back out later, id you wish to take up permanent residence
-
"Really? How do I do that?"
-
You fight me
-
[b]Eli gulps, and nods.[/b] "A-alright." [b]He pulls the revolver from his belt.[/b] "Ready?"
-
Oh, thought you wanted to train a little before fighting me. Okay... *Crossbow raises his crossbow*
-
[b]He takes aim, and fires twice. The first shot misses by a full two yards to the right of his head. The second ends up hitting the roof of the dojo.[/b]
-
Yeah, you should certainly train a little bit before you fight me
-
"Okay.... Guess I'd better do that." [b]He begins walking towards the dojo.[/b]
-
*He opens up the gates* This is a ONE TIME OFFER. If you cannot hold your own in forty eight hours you are no longer allowed.
-
"F-forty eight hours!?" [b]He looks surprised, but immediately runs in, looking for somebody to train with.[/b]
-
*You see Cyan resting on a bench under an oak tree. She wakes up and looks at you* Hey there
-
"Hi! I need to train!"
-
Oh, okay. Who let you in?
-
"Um... a skeleton. NOT THE POINT! I only have 48 hours!!!"
-
Ooh, that could be a problem. Well, if you want to train, start off with that blade on your back there. *She stands up and draws a dagger*
-
"Huh? It's on my belt...." [b]He draws the sword from its sheath. Which is on his belt.[/b]
-
*Okay. Cyan begins Circling you* Let me see what you got
-
[b]He rushes at Cyan, and everything about him was wrong. His stance, his grip. His coordination was off. And his battle instinct was completely wrong.[/b]
-
*She easily sidesteps* Kid. This is not a cosplay convention. You actually need to learn how to hold the sword. *She stops you and helps you out with your grip* Grip it tight, you don't want it falling out of your hands.
-
"Aaah.... I see."
-
Good, now adjust your stance, your elbow should be lower, your hind leg not out as much. *She gently pushes down on your elbow to lower it and extend your arm slightly*
-
[b]About ten minutes later, he gets it right.[/b]
-
Good, good. Now lunge at me.
