[b]Jack took a good look. A dojo? Tch. He'd see. His nearly clipped footsteps echoed as he made his way to the front gate. After a fleeting moment of consideration, he entered. The magician had heard of a strict rule upon the place, and for now, he would need to follow it. He adjusted his white gloves and top hat, flipping his can. His precise and to the point voice made its way across, and to the ears of one person who's presence was required.[/b]
A tester!
[b]His order should be heard, if not it would be a shame. Either way he sat down in front of the gate, and proceeded to shuffle his cards. [/b]
[spoiler]Open to all! (That includes non testers if one wants to chat.)[/spoiler]

[b]The gates open and a man with Raven black hair and a leather jacket stands there, shuffling his own glowing stack of cards[/b] "Hey."
-
[b]He lifts the rim of his hat to look at you, before speaking once again. [/b] Ah, yes. [b]He places the cards in his coat pocket before chuckling and standing up.[/b] I assume you heard my request?
-
[spoiler]I'll let Sketch take it. [/spoiler]

*A female white tiger wearing a slate exo-suit with black highlights walks up holding a helmet shaped a little like a cat's head. She has slate colored eyes and a couple of black stripes on her face act as her eyebrows.* [u]Hello, do you need a test?[/u]
-
[b]He lifts the brim of his hat to squint his eyes at you. Was that... A talking animal? Well... That just got weird. He adjusted the headgear, standing up and placing the cards in his coat pocket.[/b] What else?
-
*She looks a little confused.* [u]Um, you tell me.[/u]
-
[b]He shakes his head and chuckles, placing his hands in his pant's pockets. [/b] Look, I'd love to humor you, but I thought it was pretty obvious when I said "A tester!" As a request. [b]His eyes scan over the surrounding area, once again landing on you.[/b] Any questions?
-
[u]Well, why did you say [i]what else?[/i] Were you expecting something?[/u]
-
[b]He went from amused, to somewhat annoyed in the period of three seconds from your comment. [/b] When I say, "What else?" It's a form of sarcasm. Perhaps animals such as you don't understand these concepts... [b]He rubs his chin, pondering the subject and flipping his can. [/b]
-
*She puts her hands on her hips.* [u]Hey, I'm not an animal! Why are you wearing those silly clothes? Are you supposed to be at a costume party?[/u] [spoiler]Well this is a good start, lol.[/spoiler]
-
Obviously not you idiot. A believe we just established that I was here for a test, unless that was a poor excuse for an insult? Oh well, I suppose I can find out later. [b]He flipped his cane again.[/b] Say, do you like cat nip? Just a question.
-
*She crosses her arms.* [u]No, it makes me go berserk.[/u]
-
Really? So say I slip some into your food, would you kill the closest person near you? Interesting... [b]He laughs, yet again. [/b]
-
[u]I would flip the table and possible destroy whatever building I'm in. And probably kill whoever gave me the catnip.[/u] *She just continues glaring at him with her arms crossed.*
-
Ah yes, but you wouldn't know, would you? [b]The man seems relaxed, holding a smile over your petty attempts at intimidation. But behind his smile and in his eyes, a void remained. A husk of a man, yearning for power. [/b]
-
[u]I would actually.[/u] [spoiler]It's not intimidation, she's just annoyed.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]10/10 reply effort[/spoiler] Really? Your berserk mode goes "I know exactly who did this because reasons!" Well I can assure you, everything is all about perspective. [b]He holds out his deck to you.[/b] Now, shall we get started? [spoiler]Gtg for a bit. [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]What do you mean?[/spoiler] [u]I have a sense of smell, if someone handled catnip then I'd smell it.[/u] *She looks at the cards and then back at the man.* [u]What are you talking about?[/u] [spoiler]Okay[/spoiler]
-
With the test you- or actually I have a question. If I'm not tested I'm allowed in, but I can't fight anyone and vice versa, right?
-
[u]That's correct.[/u]
-
I take it back then. [b]He puts the cards away before silently nodding.[/b] Unless you are in the mood for a spar.
-
[u]You would need to be tested.[/u]
-
Oh shame. I'll enter now. [b]He walks by you without a word, placing a "kick me" sign on your back. [/b]
-
*She sticks her arm out, stopping him from moving and takes the [i]kick me[/i] sign from him.*
