Iskaulit mingle

[lord_wizard]

Who: Anyone!
Broadcast: No
Action: Iskaulit
When: Feb. Drift Week (and beyond?)

[The fleet, more or less patched up after their battle, has once again left civilization behind for empty space. Maybe it's a good time to distract yourself and get away from the endless repairs and nothingness, though there might still be cleaning up that needs to be done here too.

Whether you're grabbing a broom or grabbing a drink, this is a fleetwide mingle for the Iskaulit.]

For you? Work on your control. If you practice sloppy, you'll be sloppy when it comes to a real fight, and when you can do that—[she inclines her head toward the position of the other punching bag]—sloppy is going to get you a lot of property damage. If you're lucky.

[spacebro]

How do I work on control?

[outstandingbalance]

Let's say you start with your aim.

[spacebro]

Like hitting a specific part of the bag?

[outstandingbalance]

For a start. It'd be better if you had a partner.

[spacebro]

I do usually train with Kara. She's rough.

[outstandingbalance]

Because she feels like she doesn't have to hold back with you. That's good for her.

[spacebro]

I'm glad it's good for one of us. I end up sore.

[outstandingbalance]

You telling me you can't take it?

[spacebro]

I didn't say that, but I think she enjoys it too much.

[outstandingbalance]

Is that so? Guess I'd have to see it for myself to be sure.

[spacebro]

[Natasha watching him and Kara spar doesn't sound like the best idea.]

I guess she doesn't get to do it much for training unless you count beating up concrete.

[outstandingbalance]

Unless she's taking a break from her tanning bed.

[spacebro]

Tanning bed? [Sorry. It's hard to put the concepts together when he's never heard of a tanning bed and the machine isn't actually a bed.]

[outstandingbalance]

Artificial radiation from a yellow sun?

[spacebro]

Winn's invention. Yes. Exactly.

[outstandingbalance]

She goes off that for a while, and she can have all of the training she wants.

[spacebro]

You don't want to get punched through a wall? I can't say I'd recommend it either.

[outstandingbalance]

I don't want Kara to spend the whole time second guessing herself because she thinks she's going to hurt me.

[spacebro]

But...couldn't she?

[outstandingbalance]

[Natasha shrugs.]

Probably. At her current strength and speed, without a doubt.

[spacebro]

Then I am in full support of her holding back. [He doesn't want you getting hurt, Natasha.]

[outstandingbalance]

That's kind of you to say, but it's not going to help her much when holding back will cost her winning or losing.

[spacebro]

Let's just focus on how kind I am and assume you wouldn't be standing between her winning or losing.

[outstandingbalance]

Not for anything serious.

[If she were serious, she wouldn't be picking a hand to hand fight.]

Just trying to help.
