Fight Club Open Log! (Catch-All For the Month of Fiddlesticks)

[rieper]

This is an OPEN LOG for anyone to join. Make toplevels to your heart's content and tag around to each other freely. Whether your character is offering to teach or wanders in looking for someone to get them involved (or just to watch), this is a post for you! You may use this for any sort of open or even private threads if you so wish.

This log is for anyone who wants to participate in exercising, training, sparring, and teaching lessons. Some of the "classes" also involve things like yoga, meditation, and easier self defense mechanisms for anyone to learn. Magic users are also extremely encouraged to use the practice dummies and other facilities as well! After all, they also need to practice and also get used to having physical fighters near them as they spellcast. And vice versa. Plus, some people use both abilities in battle!

Basically, if you want to learn new skills that could be useful on missions, come take a peek!


For a basic set-up consider this: a majority of this takes place in the gym; it's regulars have set it up with target dummies and various practice armaments. Armaments currently consist of things like wooden practice swords, poles, and bows and arrows. A few real weapons can be borrowed from either 47 (or perhaps others willing to share) or created by Piccolo upon request. (If you have any weapons or items to add to the practice sessions, please drop a line in the ooc post!) Of course characters can always bring and use their own items these are just for general use for anyone without armaments already. No one is regulating anything like that.


Various characters will be around to help answer questions icly if you like (I have 47 on offer for starters) and if you have any ooc questions or comments drop a line over here! An ic announcement was also made by 47 if your character needs an impetus for heading towards the gym. c:

And remember: you do you and have fun!!!

"If you prefer, Mr. Piccolo." To his choice of bringing bottles of water. "You look like you don't need reminders to hydrate or take care of yourself as it is. I have to remind some people to eat and sleep."

[shutupnail]

"I hope not. I usually don't have this many people around to rely on," he said with a small hmph that sounded a little like a blunted laugh. "A pity some people need that."


"I suppose it's a good thing they have you though." Piccolo couldn't find a good segue for getting to a better topic so he just relied on his blunt nature to head in another direction anyway. "You mentioned you're good with magic arts. Just healing or anything else?"

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"Some people never grow up, they just grow taller." An attempt at dry humor, as she'd caught the blunted laugh.

"I have a background in basic rituals involving dimensional travel and augmentation of powers via spell casting, as well as potion-making." Among other things. "I was raised by the monks of Temple Azarath in another dimension." Maybe that would clarify it some more, especially as she used her dark-energy to levitate a bottle of water over to him anyway.

[shutupnail]

Piccolo reached out and grabbed the bottle. The energy didn't seem to have any negative effects despite it's ominous looking nature. He didn't get any intuitive feeling of evil from Raven either so he didn't think her dark magic could be as bad as it seemed. It made it feel odd then when he felt dark energy used by a good person. Something he couldn't explain.

"May I ask you how your magic works?" he asked cautiously. He wasn't certain he would understand even if it was explained to him or if it would make sense with his own world's magic either. But it was worth a shot.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"A lot of it is innate, and I'm not sure I understand your question." Raven answered, not entirely sure what he meant. "I've studied meditation and rituals and symbolism. A lot of it is applying my will to a focused effect."

[shutupnail]

Well, that was about as much as Piccolo understood about his own magic to be fair. At least the first part. The studying part however...

"So you don't do anything specific? Even the ritual based magics? No one taught you any of your magic then?"

[azrthmtrnznthos]

"I was raised by monks. I also use books. It depends on what I want to do. Sometimes casting a full circle, and using specific herbs or oils or tools, can help me achieve what I want. Sometimes I can do it just by willing it myself."

[shutupnail]

Piccolo frowned thoughtfully. Perhaps it just wasn't meant to be. Honestly, he wasn't really certain what he was expecting. He was a fighter, not a magic user.

"...I understand." He didn't really understand at all. "It sounds like there's a lot of different types of magic."
