Hello everyone. And welcome to the newcomers, too. I was looking for people to spar with, if anyone is interested? I'm quite capable in combat, but I feel like I need to practice more.

[Connor pauses, considering something. He taps his chin with a scaly finger, LED blinking, then continues.]

I'd also be willing to teach those who can't fight. If you'd like to learn to defend yourself a little better, feel free to contact me. This is all strictly without using magic, of course.

[Being a Merrow, he doesn't have much magic to call upon if he needs it unless he's near the water.]

Can I watch?

[plasticasshole]

It would be easier for you to learn if I taught you properly, but... I suppose you can?

[trouvaille]

I didn't mean to learn, I just want to watch.

[plasticasshole]

Oh. Can I ask why?

[trouvaille]

I used to go to underground fightclubs with this ex I had, it was fun. Polite sparring sounds like less of a tetanus risk.

[beguiledcard]

[ Hmmm...

His voice is quiet, expression a little more relaxed than what he wore during their first meeting. ]

Mind teaching me?

[plasticasshole]

You find watching people spar enjoyable? I guess that makes sense. It is considered a sport, after all. I've never watched, myself. Maybe I should try it.

[trouvaille]

Well, I've never actually watched anyone s p a r. I'd like to see if it's as fun to watch.

( half-naked men beating the shit out of each other for money in the back of a bar or underground parking garage is a slightly different vibe. )

[plasticasshole]

[Connor nods.]

I'd happily do it. Do you have any experience?

[plasticasshole]

Well, I'll let you know if I find someone to spar with. I'm sure I will, there are plenty of skilled people here.

[She probably won't find it as fun if it's a fight with someone who doesn't know what they're doing, so he'll wait for someone who can fight well to contact him.]

[trouvaille]

I do excellent first aid if anything gets out of hand, too. Bear in mind.

[plasticasshole]

I'll keep that in mind. Maybe I should bring some spare thirium just incase.

[Not that he's expecting a grievous injury or anything, but you never know.]

[trouvaille]

Better safe than sorry. What's a thirium?

[plasticasshole]

Blue blood. In order to replenish my blood, I have to drink it. A Witch who has since left figured out how to replicate it, and made some for me.

[He's running low, though. He needs to find another Witch who can do the same thing she did.]

[ Akechi doesn't exactly need combat instruction, but... ]

I might be interested in observing, if nothing else. What forms of combat are you trained in?

bear with me because google doesn’t have a clue what his fighting style is

[plasticasshole]

I wasn’t trained, as such. I was programmed to predict enemy movements and act accordingly. I realise humans won’t be able to do that, however, so I’ll be teaching more basic movements. How to block attacks, mostly.

[This isn’t about teaching people to be aggressive, it’s about teaching people to defend themselves.]

I’d be happy for you to watch, though.

[beguiledcard]

Yes and no.

[ A small smile surfaces. ]

It's complicated.

[taciturnly]

Certainly. What is your weapon of choice?

[plasticasshole]

Oh. Well, let's see... if I threw a punch at you suddenly, would you be able to block it?

[That seems like a fair place to start, right?]

[plasticasshole]

My primary weapons back home were guns, but those are in short supply here. I can use my fists quite effectively, however. If you have a different weapon in mind, I would learn very quickly.

[taciturnly]

Guns?

I am well-trained in martial arts and swordsmanship.

[plasticasshole]

A weapon used to fire bullets or other projectiles at extremely high speeds. I can show you my handgun, if you'd like to study one.

I've never used a sword before. I'd like to learn, if you'd be happy to teach me.

[taciturnly]

Like a bow? ( welp. )

Then a sword will be forged for you.

[plasticasshole]

I suppose it's... similar, in ways. A gun is often more compact, and often deals a lot more damage because of the speed the bullet is fired.

I'd like to spar with you without weapons too, if that's okay. When would you be available to do so?

[supersoldier]

You said you’re capable in combat, but can you go into detail?
