Anyway Steel is already there, going through the motions with one of the not-yet-broken wooden swords. Humanoid, still, even maybe a little ... solid looking? Wearing that flowered headpiece still.]
vax arrives not long after this! truly only the npcs get this respect of an actual response instead of just being left on read. he will even knock on the door before coming in. ]
Steel. [ sup. back in his feathery armor again today, he pulls his hood down! ] You wanna work with those?
You can use what you're most comfortable with, I have no objections.
[ THE SWORD MURDERS ... there's a serial killer around. anyway why are you stabbing so many tables. anyway, they take one of the practice swords and without any more mincing words, just launch themselves at him with it. Wow. At least warn a guy first. ]
[ sometimes you have to get people's attention in a trial to check their sharp things and the best way to do that is to slam a dagger into a table!
anyway they're off!!! vax swears the minute they take off but otherwise seems absolutely delighted by this turn of events, immediately giving them all he's got back!
... and then they spar, and it's great, and steel probably wins but he will put up a good fight. vax is laughing by the time it's over, as he drops on his ass and then flops backwards on the ground spreadeagled, putting a hand up on his head. ]
Ah, fuck. Remind me never to get on your...bad side, Steel. Hhah.
steel actually - laughs too? wow. they can laugh. they're doing that more often lately. they let him flop on the ground all he likes and go to start wiping the sword down before putting it away POLITELY. ]
Often a prayer I've heard from the opposing army. Still, you held your own well. The tengu would be pleased to call you one of their own.
vax tilts his head back to grin at them as they walk away, letting them go put away their swords in the tragic few hours before they are destroyed. ]
I'll take that as a compliment - thanks. [ these warriors, do, in his opinion, sound pretty fucking cool. ] Maybe if I ever get my wings back, we can have a go again. Nice to not just have to throw my daggers at trees.
[ he lifts his hand up from the ground and gestures vaguely with it!!! but he'll take the pause. thanks, steel. ]
Yeah - we've got all this stuff for people who do close combat, but nothing for people who like ranged weapons. [ vax drops his arm again, flopped. ] No fair.
[ (alli voice) what does a medieval target range look like
he squints, thoughtfully. thinking... ]
...Iunno. Some targets? Big ones. Open space? Lots of shit to throw too. I guess maybe something for Percy or other people with guns and bows, or whatever.

A tengu warrior ... ? Are you not? You mentioned you could fly, you have dark feathers, you seem to favor quickness and range ...
no subject
...... when you put it like that
Guess so
Can't really fly here though but sure, yeah
How do you even say that
Ten goo

That is close enough.
You've really never heard of this before?
no subject
Little different.
no subject
You said you wanted to spar? You can display your championship, if you like.
no subject
On my way there.
[ the worst part about playing fighting characters is that you have to write fighting: a novel by me ]
no subject
look we can always just say "they spar."

I have fallen behind in my practice with the sword.

vax moves where he's standing and pulls one of the glass daggers. by now, it's dulled a bit from being stabbed into tables at trials. (?) ]
One of these work alright? Or do you want me to grab a prop one, too. I can use a sword, okay, it's just not my favorite.

... Very well. I'll consider it. It isn't a terrible idea.
