*quickly climbs to a perch high above the sparring grounds, no doubt the best seat in the house. With a grin he leans in, hoping to see a rather impressive fight.*

(Anyone else, feel free to join in. This is a fun RP. There is no OOC, no applications, no real rules beyond normal for the forum and RPs. Just post to have fun).

"HEY," Otebon yells from near the tree. "I'm over here!"

*Looks up.


"Wow," Otebon says with a smile. "Good one." Otebon nods as he walks a few steps away from the tree. "The trunk's shadow right? Has to be."


Reaches down and draws a long, thin blade. A slim streamer coming from the long handle.


"I appreciate the name Master, but you don't have to. Really. Come on, let's get on to the fun part. Sparring!"

"If there's anything you taught me..."
*Jumps out of the tree and lands lightly, despite the heighth of the fall*
"It's that shadows exist everywhere, no matter how much light there is. Nothing is so smooth as to remove the slightest ripple. All you have to do is find that small shade of darkness and use it as a focal point."
*Walks up to him, the flickering shadows not quite as violent as before...*

(Hey Leiton? I'm going to use this thread to try and improve my writing style for CQC [Close-Quarters-Combat] and such. Feel free to do so as well. Remember: no graphic violence and all forum rules still apply even though this is a derp session.)


(Also, you chose shadows, so I had to chose light. Too good not to waste, though I would have chosen something else...)

*Nods


"I'm glad you took my lessons so seriously. You always were one to take the philosophical and turn it into something more fantastic." Otebon's left paw indicates the shadows surrounding Leiton as a small halo of light begins to suffuse Otebon. The light is stronger around his hands and eyes, but otherwise is merely a pleasant glow.


Without warning, the tip of Otebon's sword comes up and lashes out towards Leiton's shoulder.

(Same here. I've never been in a strictly one on one Player-controlled Characters combat... Figure this practice will help :P If you'd like me to drop down to only one sword, let me know.)
 
*Leiton quickly brought his left handed sword up in a small circle to deflect the blow, and quickly countered with his ebony blade with a swift slice at Otebon's ribs.*

(No. I, Otebon Albrecht, command you to use whatever weapons / fighting style that use desire to practice with!)


(Also, have you ever been trained in how to fight, irl? I've done one of these for fun and the other guy had no idea what he was doing...)


Fluid as a river Otebon allows his blade to be flicked harmlessly aside. He was expecting Leiton's other sword, so he sucked in his stomach away from it's lethal edge and drew his torso back. As Leiton's sword passed, Otebon's left foot slides outwards, pulling his body close to Leiton. With sword above his head, Otebon spins, pressing his back against Leiton's left shoulder.

(Actually no... Though I do plan on learning once out of college or just when I get money and decent opportunity...)
 
As Otebon slid in, Leiton drew his blades close to his body and spun with Otebon, almost dancing, prepared to deflect another blow...

(Excellent. A place to learn. Please feel free to ask any questions or such. The best thing that I can tell you to do is to act it out. I will increase the details of my posts so you can follow along with my body positions and you just write your own.)


(Just so you know... I was trained how to fight with weapons, though I focused on hand to hand. I love to play with the "mythologies" of weapons, so if you wish to change what weapon you or I am using, tell me and we can change styles. The type of weapon will determine how much of a jerk I am though...  >:3  Knives are evil little things...)

(Oh, knives are one of the few things I actually do know how to fight with...
As for acting it out, I'm in a hotel room room with my parents and they're dead asleep xD
I will try my best, but due to my own lack of experience, I have the slightest feeling I'm going to lose :/ )
