So that was fun, huh?

[He actually did enjoy fighting and killing as many of the hostiles as he could. Having half of his crew stranded down below hadn't been that great though.]

They may be defeated, but if this universe has more enemies like that, we should be prepared. Been thinking of getting a sparring club together. My focus is on swords, obviously, but if you wanna do archery, guns, staves, whatever, I'm up for it. I can take and dish out a lot of punishment, so only people who aren't afraid of gettin' bruised up need apply.

Who's up for training?

[dreamvour]

I don't need training but I'll join. I can take a lot of punishment, as you put it.

[helmsplitter]

even if you're good, you still gotta train

so what's your weapon? fists, feet, powers, swords, spears, staves, bow, knifes, gun?

[dreamvour]

If you say so.

I usually fight with a sword.

[helmsplitter]

what kind? western, long sword, broad sword, epee, saber, double-handed? or maybe a katana?

[He can be hopeful???]

[dreamvour]

I prefer katana. Western swords tend to be a little too big for me.

[helmsplitter]

[fck

yes]

nothing better than the folded steel of a katana
how long have you been training in it?
and which blade do you prefer? uchigatana? tachi?

[dreamvour]

That's true. They're more than just a sword.

I don't remember when I started, but it's been a long time. Uchigatana, even though a tachi blade would suit me better.

[helmsplitter]

[Finally. Finally he meets someone who appreciates the katana properly. Someone who isn't another sword's former master which is just...awkward af. He is not touching that with a ten foot pole.]

we are more than just weapons, it's true.
i hope you took good care of your blade

not many tachis around anymore that're good for fightin' with
people've been makin' 'em just for display
which is unfortunate
other than Kousetsu, almost all the tachi I know were ready for the battlefield

[dreamvour]

[oh. He's more than just a sword nerd]

Are you a sword spirit?

I took very good care of it. I wouldn't want its swordsmith coming after me.

Not many swords around period. They're mostly for display nowadays. But I like being old-fashioned, they're more reliable than a gun or something else.

[uwannagobro]

you had me at swords

[helmsplitter]

what kind you fight with?
i got myself, the uchigatana, but i can fight against just about anything

[uwannagobro]

two short swords usually but i can use anything with a blade on it

[helmsplitter]

sounds good - i could do with a duel or two against a dual-wielder
sounds like fun

when're you up for a fight?

[uwannagobro]

anytime

cant go getting rusty already

[helmsplitter]

don't talk to me about rust
I feel like if it wasn't for that last shitty planet, I'd be dead right now

you free now? I could meet you at the Iskaulit

[uwannagobro]

sure

got nothing else to do

[helmsplitter]

see you in 10 then?
i'll meet you at the gym

[SPARRING BUDDIES YEA]

voice!

[sylphid]

[There's such a long silence Donut may think someone is pulling a prank. Then Fie speaks up.]

Sure.

[helmsplitter]

[Wtf did someone hit the record button by accident? He's about to hang up when there's a voice.

A voice he recognizes.

This is that girl that snuck onto his damn ship.]

Yeah? What weapons do you use?

[sylphid]

[SUP BRO]

Does it really matter?

[helmsplitter]

Yeah? I need to know what to prepare.

If you got powers, we've gotta move somewhere that you can't blow up the ship. Guns? I need to be ready to deflect bullets somehow.

[sylphid]

We never got that information ahead of time on the planet. [Why is she choosing now of all times to make a point?]

Are you tired of surprises already?

[helmsplitter]

Considerin' the last surprise almost blew up my damn ship? Yeah, pretty much.

[Also her surprises always put him on edge.]

'Sides, this is sparring. It ain't like a real battle, so I need to know if I can come at you with my bare blade or if I gotta get you some armor first.

[sylphid]

[Does he hear that? It's a disappointed sigh.]

It's not like I'm going to waste grenades on this exercise or anything.

Fiiiine. I'm security, I have my own armor, but I won't need it.

[helmsplitter]

Won't need it, huh? That confident in your abilities?
