Fencing Club, 5pm, Salle

Peter arrived at the salle probably quite a bit earlier than he needed to, but he wanted to make sure everything was set up.  Even if everything wasn't all that much. 

Once people arrived, he nodded and started introductions.  "I think I know most of you, but I'm Peter Pevensie.  I'm a knight of my country, and I fight with a longsword and with a shield.  I know some of you have been training for years and some have never picked up a blade before, so shall we go around, do introductions to get to know each other and start planning for what people want to do for the rest of the semester?"

"Would you tell your name, what type of swordwork  - if any - you've studied in the past, and what you are hoping to learn?"

After introductions, he smiled again.  "Quickly, some rules we've developed in the salle.  The salle is for training purposes only.  Working with another student or working your own forms or moves.  Any sparring ought to be done up in the gym where there's more space and more people around.  This is partially because unless there are very special circumstances, all sparring should be done with practice blades.  No one needs to be seriously injured as a result of training.  You've probably noticed that we share space somewhat with the gun range.  They do get loud so if anyone has more ideas to dull the noise other than the makeshift barrier and fabrics we've put on the walls, please make the suggestion.  And finally, the salle isn't open all hours like the gym.  It's open 10am - 6pm on the weekdays and 12-4 on the weekends.  Sadly, if you want to practice outside of those hours, you need to do it in the gym with a practice blade."  He grinned.  "Unless your name is Alanna.  That's all I have for today unless someone has any questions or a suggestion."

"Alanna Trebond, fencing with a broadsword and um, regular sword I suppose?, and I just want to get more practice in."

"I'm Setsuna Sakurazaki," she nodded. "I've been training for over twelve years now in Shinmei Ryuu kendo style, which means I work primarily with nodachi, an Eastern long sword. Recently, however, I've been dabbling a bit with learning Western swords as well." She gave a bit of a smile and a nod to Peter with that last part. "I hope to expand on that."

Billy was feeling quite a bit better, though he'd probably be taking it easy tonight.
"My name's William Kessler, I've trained mostly with a Katana in, uh, well, I'm not sure what the actual style is called. I'm looking to keep in practice, and I'd like to learn any other styles someone can teach me."

"I'm Carmela Rodriguez, and I haven't had much experience with swordwork besides learning stagefighting for a school play once," she admits. "I'd like to learn how to use a sword, because you never know when someone's gonna make your energy-based weapon explode and force you to rely on other means of defence."

"Joxer the Mighty, trained in the broad sword, the dagger, the crossbow, the rapier, and my bare hands, though that doesn't really fit in here."

He patted his breastplate. "I'm here to help you all to learn to be as good as me."

"I'm Door. I've never used a sword at all, though I've watched quite a bit of swordplay. I suppose I'd be happy to learn anything, as long as it's not so heavy I trip over it."

Alanna rolled her eyes. "You. Me. Spar. Your choice of weapon."

Joxer laughed. "You sure about that? I mean, I don't want you to get hurt in the first week."

Alanna smile was thin and deadly. "I'm tough. Now, choice of weapon and let's go."

"Broadswords it is," Joxer said. "I'll take it easy on you, since you're a girl."

Because he still hadn't quite learned that lesson. Poor, poor Joxer.

Alanna's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Don't bother. I prefer fair fights." She whistled Faithful over and left his in charge of Lightning before picking up the heavier sword. "Ready?"

Joxer hefted the broadsword and nodded. "If you prefer fair, though, we might need someone to tie my hand behind my back."

Alanna brought up her the sword to a guard position, not saying a word.

"Please don't kill him.

Joxer raised his own sword and grinned. "Give me your best shot, then."

Alanna didn't roll her eyes, really. She did quickly launch into a careful attack at Joxer's torso, neck, and arms. She was careful to not accidently nick him.

Zuko's first stop was the weapon locker to retrieve his dual swords. When it seemed to be his turn, he spoke up.

"My name is Zuko. I trained using dual swords," he paused for a moment as he mainly was here because it seemed like he had to be part of a club. "I'm here to stay in shape."

Joxer gulped as Alanna's swing found their mark... without leaving a mark.

"What just happened?" he asked.

Alanna smiled sweetly and innocently at him. "We're sparing. Aren't you going to block?"
