Who: Tangle and Everyone!
What: Training Log
Where: Gym Car
When: 23rd of Fiddlesticks (backdated)

You may have seen a few posters strewn about the train. They're crudely drawn/written, and read like this:

I'm gonna be training!
23rd Fiddlesticks!
Come if you want to get buff 2!
Sparring! All Day!

This stream of consciousness is accompanied by a different drawing of Tangle on each one, doing a different kind of (badly drawn) pose. If you can decipher her meaning, Tangle will be waiting in the gym car, eager and ready, for people to join her in training.

Once you arrive, the Lemur offers you a greeting. "Hey!" she says. "Glad you could come! We could just work out together, or we could have a sparring match! Anything to keep ourselves sharp, right?!"

Huh. This is... new. "Hi there. I'm Itsuki. Nice to meet you as well." It's automatic, as she's distracted for a second.

...she still hasn't really gotten used to people on the train taking such a variety of shapes, but she'll get there. It takes her a second, but she shakes off her shock and smiles. "You must be decently good to put up those posters, huh?"

[alongtailtalltale]

"Heh," Tangle said, brushing the bottom of her nose. "I'm pretty good, yeah. Though, uh, we should probably set some limits, right? I doubt you wanna deal with my tail while we're fighting, right?"

[sunbloom]

Itsuki blinks; that's something she hadn't even thought about. "Uh. No, I don't. Not to start, at least. We can work our way up, perhaps?"

Well, she'd wanted a challenge, she supposed. She's going to get one.

[alongtailtalltale]

"Sure, that's fine!" Tangle said. "Whatever you're most comfortable with."

And with that, she backed up a few feet away form Itsuki and got into a fighting stance. "Show me watcha got!"

[sunbloom]

Whatever she's most comfortable with, huh... It wouldn't exactly be sporting to transform and go all out, but she can deal with traditional human limits. "Okay, sure. Let's see what we can do." Itsuki's own stance is... a little limited by being in a polo shirt, of all things, but she can deal.

She takes a breath, and then after a moment, she charges Tangle. Her style isn't entirely meant for offense, but she can handle it; probably better not to start with the crazy stuff, though. She'll lead with a series of punches instead, not aiming to seriously injure but not going easy either.

[alongtailtalltale]

For the most part, Tangle is able to block; but her efforts to do so are clumsy without her tail, having to rely instead on using her arms and shoulders. She's already wincing a bit, when she decides to kick out and go for a sweep to Itsuki's feet.

[sunbloom]

Ah. That seems to be a larger handicap than Itsuki was anticipating. The sweep doesn't exactly catch her off guard, but it'll be harder for her to avoid, so she tries to jump over it, hoping Tangle doesn't have something else planned to follow it.

[alongtailtalltale]

Sadly, Tangle doesn't. She ends up having to scramble to her feet, and tries to hopefully ward off a counterattack from Itsuki with a sudden uppercut.
