[USER: #A5211F]

This is Lt. Colonel Guren Ichinose of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army. I don't expect that to mean anything to any of you, but if it can make anyone take me a little more seriously, then I'll take it.

I'm sure you all saw the illustration of those apparent shadow monsters. If there are dangers, it means we should be ready for them, and somehow I've run into a surprising few people who have enough experience in combat. Some of them don't have any at all.

Would any of you be interested in learning how to fight? To defend yourselves? What about the capable out there— are you willing to teach, or spar to improve yourselves? Let me know, and I can set something up for regular practicing.

That's all.


(OOC: Basically, I thought it might be fun to encourage more random CR with both characters who would like to learn how to fight, and characters who already know how and are willing to teach or spar! If there's enough interest, I can throw up an ooc post with match up sort of things that can provide a semi-regular chance for new CR (via threading or handwaving). Let me know in your tag, or via PM if your character won't tag the post!

Edit: I put up an ooc sign up! Please remember to sign up there if you'd like your character to be included in some fighting (and friendship) styled pair ups!)

[ dextera is surrounded by his guilt at all times, back in the neuro tower. he's not ready to share it with guren, and he's grateful that guren isn't forcing him. still, the twinge in his voice—when he says he'll fix it all—is familiar enough to his own pain that dextera finds himself looking at guren's face.

no matter what he means... he's stronger than dextera, for certain, and there's an admiration that shines in his eyes for a moment. ]


...

[ dextera could help, perhaps. if there's a god in guren's world... maybe he can't heal his own sin, but the pain in his chest might ease if he could help someone else. but there's no sense thinking about it further, when it's an impossibility on so many levels. they're stuck here. he guiltily looks back at the keyboard—he wants to say more, but it's too hard to type. if he had a voice, perhaps...

this is easier than trying to empathize, at least for now. ]


You're incredible.

[ no! he turned away!!

even if dextera types, he can't make guren look. despite the depressing topic they were discussing only seconds ago, guren's shyness serves to counteract the mood that was threatening to settle over them—it seems he'll get his wish, and they won't part on too gloomy a note after all. ]


Ah—

[ ...after a pause, he closes his laptop. for now, guren is safe, although now he has to live with the knowledge that dextera finds inspiration in his conviction. gross. ]

[ wait no don't fight a kid—and now it's too late to stop him. guren has already moved on to nagging him about sleep, and... it's true that dextera probably should. he sleeps sparsely, since his body doesn't let him rest for long.

...or maybe he'll keep refreshing the forum! who knows! he's weak to his own desires. chances are he'll worry about guren's safety as long as he's still up, so it might be best to put himself to bed after all.

hesitantly, he nods, and stands because it feels weird to sit on the floor and look up at guren, even if he's leaving now. ]
