i could spar with you!
im apparently pretty good with a sword
which i guess makes sense because i am a sword

im not very good at holding back though

[fony]

makes sense.

thats fine with me, i don't need an oponent who holds back.

[futhark]

Another one who wants to test themselves? That's a commendable spirit!

You mention anyone who holds a sword... but how about someone that holds a spear?

[ Or a staff in his case, but there are training weapons to fix that problem ]

[fony]

As long as yu don't fight unarmed I'm find with whatever you use.

don't know howto fight with a spear, i'd like to see.

[futhark]

You'll have a chance to witness it then! And maybe to learn a bit how to defend yourself from one.

God, sorry this is so late

[fony]

Works forme. When do you want to meet? Aer you doing anytihng a week from now?

I'm late too, december is the worst

[futhark]

A week from now that's... 27th? Nah, I don't have plans detailed that far ahead. I'm fine to book you a spar.

Got any specific training ground in mind?

[fony]

Not yet. Gonna go look for a place in the forest or something.

[futhark]

Oh, I've got a forest. But fire isn't allowed, you know.

[ Because fire is totally a part of a swordfight right? ]

OOC

[starfestival]

Sorry but just checking, did you mean September 19th?

Re: OOC

[fony]

Uh...yes. Yes I did. I looked at the wrong date, thank you!

[onehandsomeslickninja]

How about two swords?

sorry this is so late

[fony]

Two swords is fine.

why two though?

[onehandsomeslickninja]

Well, that's what I use. Or I could use one and martial strikes, but near as I can tell, my fighting style's all built around a flurry of attacks instead of one big whack.

[fony]

sounds like a waste of energy. Jsut hit hard and your oppponent will go down a lot faster.

[onehandsomeslickninja]

Maybe so, but then you leave yourself open to strikes and counterattacks if your one big swing doesn't do the job. Plus you leave yourself defenseless if you have to employ any other techniques.

[wadoichimonji]

I have two swords, when should we spar?

[fony]

how about a week from now?

What is with you people and using two swordds?

[wadoichimonji]

A week? Can do.

I don't know, I woke up one day and had two swords. So I'm using them.

[fony]

I suppose that makes sense.

but How do you avoid hitting yourself or smething you weren't aiming for with the second one?

[wadoichimonji]

No idea, I think I might have trained with two swords when i was alive or something because I never make mistakes.

[freezetheheavens]

If you're up for a spar, that's good with me.

But why are you looking for gods as well?

[fony]

It's a secret.

[freezetheheavens]

Fair enough.

[lookingforhead]

[You just need as much experience with them as she has.]

I suppose I can lend a hand. I don't use a sword but I've been thinking about learning.

sorry this is so late

[fony]

I colud teach you! I'm oretty good!

[He's never had a student before, but shh, he doesn't remember that.]

No worries, I have no place to judge

[lookingforhead]

That's good. I mostly use a scythe
and magic I suppose.
Swords involve more moving around than I'm used to.

[fony]

whats a scythe?

i can use magic. I think. i feel like I can use magic.

but im a lot better at uising a sword.

[lookingforhead]

A scythe is a blade at the end of a pole. Have you ever seen a picture of the grim reaper? Like that.

What I can do is probably magic, but for me it's just something I can do. I don't need to say any magic words or anything. It's more like moving a part of my body.
