Card games?!

CARD GAMES?!

An entire Netherworld full of badass fighters, and the first fuckin' tournament I see around here is for a motherfuckin' CARD GAME?! The hell is wrong with you all?!

Li quickly jerks her hand away, opting to spiral around, aiming for a kick to the back. Speed has always been her strongest point, and it's fairly obvious.

Ya got beginner skills, but you're still way the fuck too slow!

1/2

*Reisen is hit squarely in the back, hitting the ground but-*

2/2

[pet-moonrabbit.livejournal.com]

*-she uses the momentum to roll herself back up, assuming a sort of defensive stance*

... well, my training was mostly with ranged attacks in general.

[xinshanquangal.livejournal.com]

Yeah, which is all well and good, I suppose. But when someone's in your face, you wanna get in their face right back. And, hell, if th' other person's usin' long range shit, they sure as hell are gonna have a delay when you're suddenly all up in their shit.

Like THIS!

And Li is, indeed, suddenly in Reisen's face. A low kick followed by a series of punches.

*Reisen surprisingly manages to fend off the first five or so blows, but it soon starts to become obvious that she can't keep up with Li's attacks... not unless she wants to 'cheat' and use her powers, anyway, because an optic blast would certainly give her the advantage...*

[xinshanquangal.livejournal.com]

Which would kinda defeat the purpose, really.

Li finally finishes things, circling around and finally throwing Reisen to the ground with a blow that launches her a bit of a distance. She moves back, waiting to see if Reisen's still got any energy left in her.

*Reisen hits the ground painfully, lying still for a few seconds... and then she slowly pulls herself up, shakily getting back to her feet*

*she's endured harsh training before, and she doesn't look like she's ready to give up*

[xinshanquangal.livejournal.com]

...hey. First bit of advice from yer teacher: Givin' it yer all is all well and good, but you gotta recognize when you've already given it. You look like I could blow you over with a puff of wind right now.

This was just a tester. Got it?

[pet-moonrabbit.livejournal.com]

A-alright...

...

D-did... I do okay...? *she's wobbling her way over to where she set down her blazer*

[xinshanquangal.livejournal.com]

Not bad, but I can definitely tell yer used to distance fightin'. When's the last time you had to get in close t' someone? You move like you got a wee bit more time to move than you actually got.

[pet-moonrabbit.livejournal.com]

W-well...

*she sits down next to her blazer, putting it on her lap as she starts slowly digging through it for something...*

Before coming to the Netherworld... in a serious fight... it's been awhile...

... I don't know if it counts... but I've been dusting off my old sword training lately since a month or two ago...

[tiltingwindmill.livejournal.com]

And I'm itchin' for a good duel, manno-a-manno. Most of the monsters here don't really make for a good fight.

[whatisavacation.livejournal.com]

Life or death combat should be reserved for something slightly more important than competition, anyway... but that's true. I'm trying to make sure my opponents follow the rules, but it's not easy.

[xinshanquangal.livejournal.com]

You really are in the wrong damn place for getting folks t' follow the rules. Unless yer up against one 'a them "delinquents," anyway.

[xinshanquangal.livejournal.com]

Place like this, extra trainin' in anything couldn't hurt none. Far as I can tell, fightin' fair are dirty words.

[xinshanquangal.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Though there'll probably be a metric fuckton of dirty tricks pulled around here. Not really lookin' forward to THAT.

[pet-moonrabbit.livejournal.com]

Mm... and I can't always rely on my danmaku. Losing my powers taught me that much...

*she finds a small bottle, pulling it out and taking a drink from it... and the moon rabbit starts to look better already. Yay healing potions*

[whatisavacation.livejournal.com]

Delinquents?

[xinshanquangal.livejournal.com]

Basically the exact OPPOSITE of what you'd expect th' word to mean.

[xinshanquangal.livejournal.com]

Anyway, you still interested? Once I scout out a few good training places, we can really start giving it a go.

[pet-moonrabbit.livejournal.com]

I am. I've gone through harsh training regiments before, so...

[whatisavacation.livejournal.com]

...Such a strange Netherworld...

[tiltingwindmill.livejournal.com]

If they have to cheat, then they're pretty weak, aren't they?

[xinshanquangal.livejournal.com]

Gotcha. I'll give it my go! You'll be kickin' faces in no time!

[xinshanquangal.livejournal.com]

You'd be surprised how fucking tough some cheaters are, actually...
