We Are Our Avatars III (Ended!)

[Random berk]

James flicked the blade away with ease.
"Right, that's good, but never just go for one attack at a time. String a few together. Try to knock your opponent off balance."

 

[Outisakanobody]

OOC: @Gear: Of course.

Grace wakes up, gets dressed, and leaves her room.

Gerry does the same, walking out of the ship.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

OoC: @Outis I think everyone's outside.

 

[VeneratedWulfen93]

As the blade was deflected Daniel carried the momentum around and spun around back-handed with a horizontal slash.

 

[Slenn]

<color=blue>"Interesting. Your world sounds more fraught with war than what I expected from Sara's reports. Not every dark age lasts forever. This world's history was like that. For the longest time people had lived in a shrouded dark age starting from the fall of the Roman civilization. Strange and unnessesarily bloody battles were fought too, as well as a deadly epidemic that wiped out a third of the population of Europe. After which came the Renaissance. It came at just the right time when people were ready to open their eyes and minds. Maybe after the wars have settled down and your world becomes more docile and peaceful, it may be time for that kind of thing to happen."

 

[Saltyk]

Riou looks at his right hand. "Yeah... After the wars all die down. Maybe then." He obviously doesn't sound too sure of the statement. "Anyway, I think I'll go take a short nap. I didn't sleep much last night." He walks back into the ship.

OoC: I'll have to go. I'll be back in a couple hours.

 

[Random berk]

James backstepped to avoid Daniel's follow-up attack.
"Alright, now we're talking. Back when I fought competitive martial arts, I always used to try and go for as many fast punches as possible, and save heavier attacks like kicks for when the opponent was unbalanced or lulled into a predictable rythm. Remember that, but at the same time, don't always follow the same obvious pattern ."

 

[Outisakanobody]

Grace also leaves the ship.

Gerry goes over to Makoto. "[sub]Hello.[/sub]" he says.

 

[TilMorrow]

OOC: Heyo everyone. So what has happened since Conall was captured last night/this morning? [sub][sub]I'm so mad at Sony for only allowing the Atlus sale to be available to the US Region PSN but I may have a way around it... On another how do I make posts' text easier to read if anyone knows?[/sub][/sub]

 

[Slenn]

<color=blue>"Bye. Sleep tight. It was good talking to you." She waved to him as he left. <color=blue>That guy sounds like he's had a long history of being a commander in a war. I can understand. Being in a bloody war for so long can make you think it won't end. But stay strong. Not every war lasts forever. She smiled and nodded. <color=blue>"Hmmmmm."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Makoto saw Gerry and walked over. "Hey Gerry."

 

[ShindoL Shill]

@Nile: A big steaming pile of nothing.
Also, we nearly executed the Pokemans.

 

[VeneratedWulfen93]

Daniel held his sword in front of him. "Okay." Following said advice he tried to attack using fast swings that could be stopped and redirected easier at another angle after the swing had either been blocked of dodged. However Daniel was starting to tire and his breath came in ragged clumps as he moved and his arms ached with the effort to swing the sword continuously one handed.

OOC: @Slenn Oh she would hate 40k. War is acutally never ending there. I think the Third War for Armageddon has lasted for at least a century and its still ongoing.

 

[Wackymon]

Xu remains asleep in another odd little clearing.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Grace decided to walk over to EMily. "Hello, I do not feel like we were properly introduced. My name is Grace." she said with a small bow.

"[sub]...How do you train?[/sub]" Gerry asked Makoto out of the blue.

 

[Slenn]

<color=brown>"Has anyone seen Xu? There's a note for him that came on some bird." Sara called out, still looking for him.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Snip

So...just out of curiosity, why can't we do your plot anymore (not the one involving Four getting kidnapped, the one you seemed to be doing in the beginning)? Is it because we left England?

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Mostly I just have sparring matches with my old freinds from the Academy. Sometimes when they're not around I get a training dummy or just practice on a bit of the scenery. I also climb a lot, but that's for fun mostly."

OoC: @Outis I think it's the ban on torture scenes.

 

[Random berk]

James could see the training was starting to take its toll on Daniel, and when he attacked more slowly than before, James reached up with his left hand and blocked the flat of Daniel's blade with his elbow.
"Right, try not to overexert yourself by attacking futilely. Lets focus on defending. It takes much more reflexes, but it actually takes a lot less energy. The key is to keep moving about, don't let the opponent crowd you. If he has to chase after you, he can get frustrated, and might overextend himself, giving you the chance to counterattack easily. When just dodging isn't enough, a simple flick of your sword could misdirect his attack. Lets try it." James said, before taking a step back and preparing to attack.

 

[Saltyk]

OoC: @Slenn She's actually pretty close. Riou, specifically, is tied to war due to the nature of his Rune. And other Bearers tend to be tied to war either because they are causing the war (villains) or because they have been blessed with suck by receiving the Rune, which invariably puts them at odds with the villain(s) for one reason or another.
