Who: Coil Lenn
Broadcast: Text (and not anonymous, for once)
Action: Iskaulit, in the gym
When: Morning


[it is a rare day indeed that Coil sends out a message with his identification attached to it, but he figures it's probably hard to convince someone to fight with you when they don't know who's asking. and he takes time to write the thing up properly, like putting an ad in the paper.]

Looking for sparring partner-- hand-to-hand or melee weapons. Experienced combatants only. Iskaulit Gym.


[and he just tosses the communicator off to the side for a bit, after that. he'll return to check his messages after he's beaten the shit out of a sandbag for a while.

and whether or not they've caught his message, anyone can find him haunting the gym--either moping around like he doesn't know why he's there, or whirling a quarterstaff around and clobbering a sandbag with single-minded focus. just a combat-oriented teenager in a bad mood.]


(ooc: and for anyone who isn't really into tagging fight threads, but still wants to spar with him, we can handwave or gloss over some things.)

[He doesn't make things easy, which is good. Challenging. Being rolled to the bottom isn't the end. She can work with it. It's good practice actually. People often forget, in the heart of the moment, that being down on your back in a first is not actually a damning position. She too knows those tender spots of the ribs, and jabbing her fingers up into them didn't require a ton of force to be painful.]

[he visibly winces, which is as much for the surprise of it as the actual pain. she's just as dangerous at this range, he sees, and he really doesn't have much of a reason to keep her there. this fight certainly isn't a lethal one, and even trying to keep her in one place and strike at her isn't his goal here.

he wants to keep moving, keep the fight up and active, so he deflects her hands away long enough to roll off of her without attracting any sucker-punches toward himself.

up and onto his feet again,]

[She does not roll. She lifts herself into a back bend and kicks over, in one smooth motion, she's on her feet as well. She had be going very straightforward with him up to now, but might as well keep it interesting for him, right? And she's rather comfortable with more acrobatic combat. So she keeps the momentum going and launches a quick side kick ((with helpful video!)) at him, just to see how he'd handle it really.]
