Week 2

Friday's harrowing events are clear in the minds of manyfirst and foremost, the death of Rika Furude, and of course the reveal and subsequent "sentencing" of Asch the Bloody. It also serves well as a reminder to everyone that the gloves are off, there won't be an easy way out for anyone and it is unlikely that there will be an option to 'wait it out' in the hopes of not participating in this 'game'. Or, as The Sage and The Teishu put it:

The Challenge.

Despite how you felt about the trial, it's likely that some rest would be welcome after all that transpired. Fortunately, some of your fellow warriors have taken it upon themselves to provide a reprieve of sorts, if you'd rather not be alone.

As if the events of the trial are supposed to be nothing but routine, dawns comes once more Sunday morning, punctuated with the sound of the rooster crowing obnoxiously. Any light sleepers hoping for their rest to not be disturbed may find themselves disappointed. Though, if anyone should wish, they may feel free to try to fall back asleep.

But, maybe that time can be better spent wandering. It seems that some places may have mysteriously unveiled themselves. It might do well to check them out. Or not. How anyone chooses to spend their time is ultimately up to them.



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ why does he feel there's more of a story there......]

Would you want to learn some?
hoodini: (♢ don't tell me;)

[ A pause. He, uh, did kinda considering attending Misora's self-defense class last week. Then he thought it would be a bad idea for people to know he couldn't fight at all, which somehow was a better idea than learning something.

Teenage boys are dumb. ]
... Would you want to teach me?

[ Since we don't know how long we're going to be here, or when you'll need it....]

Some basic self defense knowledge would probably be best. How to break holds, how to throw a punch, which places to aim for on a body to incapacitate, that kind of thing.

Does that sound agreeable?
hoodini: happily condescending (♦ mama tells me i shouldn't bother)

[personal profile] hoodini 2017-08-15 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ ! ] Yes! It sounds perfect.

[personal profile] bratsitter 2017-08-16 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Alright then,which do you want to know first? Breaking holds or throwing a punch are the more basic things.

[because we are totally doing this now, there's no better time]
hoodini: what the what (♢ there's nothing there to hide)

[personal profile] hoodini 2017-08-16 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
W-wait—right now?!
bratsitter: (pic#11634756)

[personal profile] bratsitter 2017-08-16 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Why not? The basics don't take too long individually. We can do one today, and the next tomorrow if it bothers you.
hoodini: (♢ there's nothing i want more)

[personal profile] hoodini 2017-08-16 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Th-that means they're easy, right? [ ... ] Actually, that makes sense! You're basically just grabbing someone when they come out you.

Of course it'd be easy!

[That also depends on your opponent's skill, but maybe that'll be a lesson for later...]

So breaking someone's hold and grabbing someone else first then.

[He gonna motion Jin closer]

Best thing is to try and pull their arms together behind their back, or lock your arms around their throat in a bar.
hoodini: not convinced, skeptical, gauging (♢ search your soul)

[personal profile] hoodini 2017-08-16 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ Let him believe, Yukimi. Let him believe.

Though he doesn't even believe that much apparently? He warily edges toward Yukimi. ]


Right! Pulling their arms... [ Uh-huh. Is he supposed to try it on Yukimi? He raises his hands and does exactly nothing because he's a lost cause. ] Am I supposed to be trying to grab you?
bratsitter: (pic#11634750)

[personal profile] bratsitter 2017-08-16 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Yukimi will do his best to get Jin to believe in the heart of the cards himself]

Let me show you how to hold your arms for the neck lock first. That can cause someone to pass out, even if you don't do it perfectly, so it's probably your best bet while you're learning the other things for protection.
