Waking the Dead 2.0 || July 5-11, 2063 || The Wait

[kawaakari]

[Beautiful as Seigi is and generous as your hosts have been, it is hard to forget why you're here again.

Zangyaku is carrying on as per usual, as if your presence doesn't mean anything. It isn't a dismissal, though: it's an acknowledgment of the work that you must do, and that they are, by merit of your presence, helping you do it.]


General OOC Notes:
+ This is a catch-all post for any interactions that take place during the in-game period I indicated. Make sure to label your subject lines accordingly!
+ You're all staying at close to the Wolf's Ward, which is the wing devoted to the Blade King and the Wolfborn.
+ You're free to move around until about 7 PM. You have free run of the base.
+ You can, regardless of whether you have a license with Zangyaku or not, join in on minor routine engagements like patrol, or helping out at any of the divisions.
+ There is a free teleport back to Falner. You can go any time, as long as you're back before call time for the vigil with Ginko Takasugi-Vice from 8 PM until 4 AM.

General behavior of significant NPCs in the area:
+ Kasumi is your host, and effectively the officer in command for this leg of the operation.
+ Hikaru is generally NOT around during the day. He only turns up around dinner time to eat with everyone, take a temperature check on his end, and then immerse himself in his own work.
+ NPCs that have been fielded out to watch over David Young and Minato Arisato are available on call.
+ Other NPCs may be available on request. Just ping me?

[ She smirks. Battle's only just beginning, Joshua.

She jerks her head in the direction of the training halls. ]

This way. You had better not walk the other way. I might hurt you more than I intend to.

[ And he's already walking past you with something akin to a glare sent your way as he mutters: ]

Fine.

[bostova]

[ There's a smug grin on her face. She walks next to him, though, leading Josh to the training halls. There are people already there, of course, but there's space for them to spar. ]

Would you like me to give you an advantage?

[larue]

[ Ever since he got to try them out, he's kept the gloves he'd purchased from Henry Lim's Abubot closeby. He's fishing them out of his coat pockets as he looks up at her words. ]

No. [ The word is heavy as it leaves him.

He's not happy about this. But you insisted and he's never been one to back down from challenges issued lile this.]

round one.

[bostova]

[ She raises an eyebrow, almost amused. ]

Your grave.

[ There's a smirk on her face as she pulls out two of her knives with a flourish. You'd probably expect her to strike right then and there, but she drops the knives. She also removes the holster of throwing knives on her thigh. Then drops the Kukri, and Anya, and holds her hands up. ]

Safety precaution. So I don't accidentally kill our blade leader.

[ She drops into a stance much like her usual. Best foot forward, striking arm up, but empty of knives. ]

sorry josh, ur on ur own

[larue]

[ He stiffens the moment Yulia drops the knives and Josh stares at the Bladian for several heartbeats before he pockets the gloves again, sheds his Netsach coat and folds it up in a quick motion before dropping it to the side.

He doesn't want to do this.

He takes a defensive stance. Palms up and facing Yulia; knees bent and feet set apart just enough move his center of gravity lower. ]
