Khromatose Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) IC: Stronghold (=\ /1st Person/Gym I recognized her to be Xara, and realized that I was screwed. But I can't turn back now. This was a perfect way to toughen me up to resist electric attacks. Either way, I was too slow, and the blade, although it didn't pierce, it found a way between my armor plates and electrocuted me. The pain was at first bearable, but I tried to push Xara and her staff away from me. Afterwards I would try to uppercut her.

Nato G Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 IC: Era - Gym. "Okay... basics..." I thought this over. When I'd been teaching myself to fight, what had I focused on first? "Your opponent's going to make a lot of noise when they move, especially when they try striking out at you. You need to be able to recognise those sounds, and block or dodge accordingly." Without warning, I swung out my staff at her left side. Not hard enough to do any damage if she didn't block it, but enough to give her an idea of the speed a moving weapon had behind it. Reaction time was everything in a fight._________________________________________________________________ IC: Xara - Elsewhere in the Gym. Too easy. He pushed me back, then swung a uppercut at my face. Having just been electrocuted, his blow was clumsy, uncontrolled. I let go of the staff with one hand and tried to catch his fist in it.

"Don't give up so quickly," I told Hoto, "it takes time and practice to become good at something. We'll get back to blocking..." I stopped for a moment, thinking about what other strategies I could try. "Maybe defence isn't your thing. If that's the case, then you need to learn how to hit your opponent before they can hit you." I started circling around her. "Listen to where my feet are... track the weapon in my hand... focus in on my voice and my breathing." this was what I had done; figured out where to hit an opponent in order to finish them quickly. "Take out your opponent's legs and they can't stand... disarm them and they can't attack you... hit their throat or face and they're in for a world of hurt." I stopped, then started circling back the other way. "Now... show me what you can do."

She shifted her balance back and forth, trying to feel the unfamiliar weight, the clicks from her leg joints echoing around the room. It was much easier to track a whole being than a narrow staff. Her arms stiffened, readying themselves for a strike. The legs... the weapon... the face... She took another deep breath. The sharp blades on her staff flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but imagine them tearing into Era, making her unable to stand, or causing her pain. The staff fell back to the ground with an echoing note. "I... I can't," she whispered. 1 Quote ~ Corpus Rahkshi: Fang | Hoto | Tube | Tear | Canvas | Garrotte | Reda BZPRPG: Azusai | Mitsuri The Scarabax Library | Flickr | Deviantart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Why does everything have to be so violent?" Hoto complained. "When I was out there, I could get by just by showing them I wasn't going to hurt anyone! It didn't work all the time, but that wasn't their fault! It's my fault for daring to look like a Rahkshi when I'm not one! I don't want to hurt or destroy! "So who needs their respect? If all Rahkshi do is pick on the 'weaker ones' who can't fight back, who cares about them?" She paused to catch her breath, searching around the Gym to find anyone who may have overheard her outburst. She didn't even know where it all came from. It all seemed to just rush out all at once. She did know one thing though, and it seemed to slip out at the end before she could catch herself, though it came much softer. "Besides, I've got something better than their respect. I've got friends." In the end, she was glad it came out.

Appearing peaceful didn't work on everyone; she knew that for a fact. But if someone ever did... Her retreating footsteps echoed through the Gym, growing softer and softer to Era. Then, suddenly, they grew louder and louder as she returned. She had left her new staff with the beautiful, musical blades near the rest of the weapons, substituting it for a softer wooden staff. "I'll... I'll give it a t-try," Hoto choked out, trying as hard as she could to not imagine hurting Era. "...if... if you're willing." She held the staff at the ready, gripping it hard to stop it from quivering in her hands.
