Private Video
[Those that responded to her open broadcast expressing interest in the event will receive a private video with the time, date, and location of the intended sparring sessions, as well as the following notice;]

[She may not be wearing the warpaint but she is using her Imperator voice. Considering some of the conversations she had in her original broadcast, she wanted to make sure there were no misconceptions about what was going to be happen here;] These sparring sessions are a way to keep our bodies and skills honed as well as teach others how to defend themselves. It is not a match to the death. If anyone is found intentionally putting others at risk they will not be invited back.

Bring your own water.

Action

[Furiosa has cleared as much space in the cargo bay as possible, relocating smaller crates and boxes to her own quarters, and pushing the larger ones off to the side. The crates that remain offer various seats and perches around an open area where the sparring will take place. There is enough space to get a few pairings going at the same time, but it's otherwise pretty tight depending on the turnout.]

[Furiosa herself is in her usual Wasteland getup - minus her scrap prosthetic.]

[[ooc: Tag in, tag around, have fun! This is a semi-open event; Furiosa only sent the details to people who expressed interest, but won't be turning anyone away.]]

Comments

[therewerefifty]

[She started the match quiet and reserved; by the time they finish, Makie's more energetic and far less dreary, face a little flush as she returns Furiosa's smile. She's missed this.]

You're an adept learner. It's a pleasure to spar with you.

[Without having to kill anyone at the end. It's not the death she enjoys, it's the fighting itself.]

[kill_switch]

You had to be, in the Wastelands.

[She smiles back, breathless. It's nice to be able to stretch and move and work out the building stillness without threatening bloodshed. It's refreshing. Even just the ritualistic sort of dominance displays that went on between the Warboys had it's fair share of actual injury; they were a brutal group. Here, Furiosa is beginning to think she's found just the right combination of exertion without violence.]

I enjoyed it as well. You fight often, where you're from?

[therewerefifty]

I do. It's common, in the company I keep. But not recently. Not since... leaving home. [She gestures around the cargo bay. Since coming to this place.]

I don't miss the conflict, but I do miss being able to fight. Perhaps that's strange.

[kill_switch]

I don't find it strange at all; that's why I started this. [She makes a broad motion to the hangar bay and anyone else gathered there.] It's actually a nice change to be able to get some steam off without feeling like you're fighting for your life.

[therewerefifty]

Yes. And without having to kill anyone. [The amount of battles she's been able to smile at her opponent after they're done is rather small.] It's...healthier.

[She's not describing it well, though it's with a touch of dryness that she adds:] For everyone involved.

[kill_switch]

It is. Thanks for coming, Makie.

[therewerefifty]

Thank you for the invitation. [She tucks her errant hair away from her face.] Will you be holding more such sessions?
