Who: Roy Sellers ([personal profile] aetos), Vaughn Inglebard ([personal profile] unimpressive), and Akito Tanabe ([personal profile] dyingtohealyou).
Where: Roy's house
When: February 1st, early afternoon. Roy showed mercy on their sleep schedule this time.
What: In the name of trying to improve the spirits of a distressed teenager, Roy caves and offers to try and teach his friends fencing. Things go horribly downhill.

Warnings: Probably violence? Shouldn't get too bad, though.

[So, Akito is (understandably) down in the dumps. What better way to encourage stress relief than learning how to beat something up the proper way?

...Actually, this wasn't really Roy's initial idea at all, but the two had been hounding him over it for a while. While he had been reluctant in thinking himself anything close to a proper teacher for the subject, seeing Akito so wound up and distressed over his recent pulses made him reconsider attempting to show them some sort of healthy outlet.

And hopefully wouldn't result in more echoes.

So Roy calls Vaughn over later that Saturday, after his parents had left the house for a while, and tells him to head over into his backyard. He calls Akito out several minutes later, and when his two friends finally congregate in the back of his house, Roy slides in behind them, hands on his hips and a look of acquiescence on his face.]


I still don't know why you want me to teach you instead of going to the fencing club or something.

[Of course, his complaint lacks any bite to it when Roy had already gone out of the way to buy several wooden training swords and lay them neatly side-by-side on the ground.]

[Part of him is honestly surprised that a. Roy finally wore down and b. Roy didn't actually call them out at 7AM for it. Honestly, what with everything going on, he'd backed off from the subject almost entirely more out of distraction than anything else.

Still, he won't complain. It's something to do, and that's always helpful for taking your mind off of things.

You're the one who echoed back actual fighting skills. It's different from just poking a person at certain points, isn't it?

[With everything that's happened recently-- heck, with just the trouble Akito got into alone, Vaughn honestly hadn't been expecting this to happen for a good long while... nor is he entirely convinced yet that Roy won't try to call it off at some point, but...

Well, what's it matter, really? If they've gotten this far, he's more than sure they can still convince him not to back out of it.

So he grins, crossing his arms.]


Akito's right! Besides... Don't you wanna watch us while we learn?

[personal profile] dyingtohealyou 2014-02-02 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
[His eye-hand coordination has never been terrible, and having those gun skills echoed back only added to that. So yes, consider that wooden sword caught.]

Well, it should be helpful even if all we have is a stick, shouldn't it? More handy than say, gun skills without a gun.

[Or firearm training without the ability to aim properly because shooting at people is hard even when they're trying to kill you but

We're not going to go into that particular story today.

[So maybe he fumbles a little... more than a little... but Vaughn manages to catch the wooden sword. He turns it over in his hands, looking it over carefully, before coming to the conclusion that... Yes, he hasn't the slightest clue how to use this thing.]

Aw, come on! With all the weird things that've been happening here... We could definitely use any weapons.

[personal profile] dyingtohealyou 2014-02-02 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
[After studying it a moment, Akito will go ahead and try to mimic it with a slight stumble as he remembers he can't just mirror the movement.]

Like this?

[His own stance has nowhere near the confidence of Roy's, but well. He's not even sure if he's got the angles right here.]
unimpressive: (y ver como las burbujas suben)

[personal profile] unimpressive 2014-02-02 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
[That stance...

Vaugh doesn't recognize it, of course he doesn't. He doesn't know the first thing about fencing. But he can't quite seem to take his eyes off the way Roy's standing, can't really shake off the feeling of... wrongness that falls over him.

Weird.

After a pause, he shakes himself out of it and follows Akito's example... and immediately falls right out of the stance again.]


...Hey. Roy. Are you sure this is it? Cause... [He shakes his head.] This just feels weird.

[personal profile] dyingtohealyou 2014-02-02 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
Not like you know any fencing... Right?

[It's hard to be sure of, what with echoes being a thing. But with Roy's instruction, he shifts into the more correct stance. It does feel strange, but only in that it's completely unfamiliar to him.]
unimpressive: (la vuelta al mundo)

[personal profile] unimpressive 2014-02-02 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh, no... I guess not.

[He still can't shake off the feeling, still really doesn't want to follow these particular instructions, but he shrugs, flashing them a smile.

It's fine, right? It's gotta be.]


Like this, huh?

[He falls into the stance again, albeit stiffly.

--This is so not working for him.]

[personal profile] dyingtohealyou 2014-02-03 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Akito, for his part, doesn't even notice Roy acting strangely. He's much too focused on maintaining the stance himself.

Fencing is weird... Maybe it will make more sense once they get to the actual fighting part? Hm.

unimpressive: (sin leer las instrucciones)

[personal profile] unimpressive 2014-02-04 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow, gosh, rude.

As gracefully as he can (which isn't much at all, really), he moves to follow those instructions, pausing only to aim a mock glare at Roy. All right, maybe if he just mimics Akito...

Figures Roy would have the freaky weird fighting style.]


Okay, okay, sorry! I'm doing it, you don't have to hit me! [SIGH.] I guess I do have to get used to how weird it is...

[Weirdo wrong fighting style. He's beginning to think he really isn't gonna like however the other Roy fought.]

[personal profile] dyingtohealyou 2014-02-05 10:57 am (UTC)(link)
[And Akito will sit himself down for a break because haha wow Roy is actually kind of a scary teacher even if he was focusing on Vyse there.

Like.

Wow.
]

I don't know anything about swords, but I'm pretty sure you made some of that up.

[His tone is teasing. Mostly.]
unimpressive: (detrás de tu camisa)

[personal profile] unimpressive 2014-02-07 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Vaughn huffs out a laugh at that, hands on his hips. Yeah, he's definitely going to have to agree with Akito there.]

Yeah... And you just remembered all of that at the same time?!

[Talk about unfair.]

[personal profile] dyingtohealyou 2014-02-07 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Same as my healing, then.

[An unexplained sense of simply knowing what he had to do to activate it and what its limits and needs were.]

I guess that means you still don't know why you know it, huh?
unimpressive: (yo espero)

[personal profile] unimpressive 2014-02-09 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Besides just the fact that the other him could fence?

[He grins, shaking his head. As totally unfair and uncool as it is that he hasn't gotten anything, Vaughn's still plenty excited for his friends here.]

If you're remembering so much... [Huff.] He probably knew a lot!

[personal profile] dyingtohealyou 2014-02-10 11:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Akito groans.]

What, we don't even get a break?
unimpressive: (un día decidí)

[personal profile] unimpressive 2014-02-12 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Figures.]

Okay, okay! Just give us a minute!

[He doesn't sound particularly tired anymore though, as he straightens and picks up his practice sword again.

All right, all right, regardless of what this fighting style is like, he can totally do this! Totally.]


How do you wanna start?

[personal profile] dyingtohealyou 2014-02-13 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Ughh...

[And Akito reluctantly gets to his feet, not quite getting into the stance yet.]

Vaughn can go first.
