Stabbing People for Fun and Profit: Mercenary Work for Beginners, Monday, Period 4

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

There was a less than pleased and non-bouncy Deadpool waiting for the kids in the Danger Shope, because he had totally remembered to tell them to meet him there.

Okay, so not really, but he did leave a nice note telling them to get over there instead of their usual spot at the main campfire.

"First of all, it seems there was a wee bit of confusion over the assignment from last week," He said, glaring pointedly at a certain boy with a ponytail that was not a wolf tail and he really needed to accept that fact and move on with his life. Oh wait... he wasn't going to have one after Deadpool got done with him. "There is to be no maiming or injuring of Aly because that causes her to stab me in the kidney, and that makes me cranky. And a cranky me means I'm going to take this out on all of you kiddies!"

He grinned and held up a pair of escrima sticks. "Fighting practice today. Pick your weapon and we'll see what you're made of." Pause. "And I hope it isn't pie because that would be both messy and disturbing as then we would have to eat the pie that you are made of and that's cannibalism."

He should add something to that.

"And that only works for soccer teams in the Andes, not for high school students while they're off camping in a disturbingly familiar cliche for horror movies type environment."

Yup, that covered all the bases on that subject.

"So! One on one spar with me. Or my other lil' T.A., Setsuna because we've fought before already and know each other's tricks already." He grinned and looked over at Alec. "Not!Wolverine T.A., on the other hand, is new and exciting and yay for genetic enhancements in a fight!"

There was logic there, really.

"Now, if things get out of hand with Setsuna and any of you, I will intervene and it will not be fun for you. But I doubt that'll happen, she's good." There was a small bounce at that. "Now, are you kids ready to go?"

Fight Deadpool!

He was flipping the escrima sticks like he was in Color Guard.

...

Closet band geek.

Cassie was actually smiling.

"I still say weapons training is pointless for me."

Re: Fight Deadpool!

Deadpool flipped one of the sticks in the air, catching it and pointing at Cassie. "Two words: Black Goliath."

Charlie tried to flip a stick like Deadpool. And dropped both of them.

Out-of-the-closet generic geek.

"You might want to try holding them like his," Deadpool suggested, showing her the proper grip. "Or, you know, just toss them at people and run, but I don't think that'll help much."

Pause.

"Though it would amuse me."

Raph picked up the sticks. They weren't sais, but eh, whatever. He tested the balance, then started to swing them around as if he was going through training motions to get comfortable with them.

Then without warning, he charged forward, taking a swipe at Deadpool.

(Turtle shell. His advantage.)

Deadpool brought up his escrima sticks to block Raphael's attack, grinning at the kid-turtle-hero in a half shell's style. "...Why does a turtle have thumbs?"

It just occurred to him, shut up.

Seely picked up one of the escrima sticks.

...like a baseball bat. Hey, go with what you know.

Re: Fight Deadpool!

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Deadpool made a face at holding the stick like a baseball bat. His poor baby wasn't for spoooooorts!

He scratched his foot with one of the sticks, waiting for Seely to, you know, do something fun like hit him. "Is this going to be like the sparring session with the Mountie?"

Now this was more like it. There might have been a smirk as Zuko picked up two sticks. He balanced them in his hands for a moment, trying to feel their weight. They definitely weren't his dual blades, but he'd make do.

Re: Fight Deadpool!

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Awww, he was smiling! Maybe the hug wasn't needed this time around.

"Don't worry, I won't give you any bruises that'll make the girlfriend upset."

There were, unsurprisingly no light sabers among the offered weapons so Qui-Gon settled for a wooden practice blade of some sort that was at least the right shape and size.

He held it in front of him for a moment, checking its balance and reach, then nodded to himself with a tiny smile.

It would do.

If there were lightsabers in the room, Deadpool would be trying to use two at the same time and cutting his own arms off in the process.

(Lightsabers!)

Vader, where ever he may be, or whatever stupid haircut he might have, still owed him one.

"Sadly there's no one here to shout 'MORTAL KOMBAT!' so..."

Gavin looked a little nervous.

"Right," he said. "I guess I'm ready."

Re: Fight Deadpool!

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Deadpool grinned and bounced. "Hit me with your best shot!"

Re: Fight Deadpool!

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

Eve picked up two of the sticks and tested them. They weren't her usual weapon of choice, but since using magic to fight the teacher would be Playing Dirty, and thusly Not Acceptable and Likely To Get Her In Trouble, she went for something slightly less trouble-causing but just as fun.

Re: Fight Deadpool!

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

And magic only ended with weird curses and meeting of ex's that weren't really ex's and then dying and then meeting an actual ex again.

Deadpool grinned and twirls one of the sticks as he waited for Eve to attack.

Ed smirked as he looked through the modded weapons. He picked up a pair of the sticks, figuring that nothing was quite like the weapon he was used to so they'd do well enough.

He spun one, watching Deadpool, then jumped in, thrusting at his stomach.

Re: Fight Deadpool!

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Whoa there short stuff," Deadpool said, blocking with one stick and taking a quick step back. "Jumping the gun a little aren't we?"

...

No, he didn't actually think that, he just wanted to piss him off with the short comment.

Re: Fight Deadpool!

Sokka stuck an escrima stick in his boomerang sheath (yes, he STILL insists on wearing that thing everywhere) and filled his belt with wooden practice knives.

Just once, it'd be nice to fight with a boomerang.

He tested the balance of one of the knives while waiting for his turn, tossing it in the air and catching it, that sort of thing. It'd require a completely different technique to throw than he was used to, that was for sure...

When he was his turn, he threw them all at Deadpool -- two at his head, and then two more on each side, in case he tried to dodge, and then let out a loud yell and charged, with the stick held ready for a double-handed over-the-head swing.

Re: Fight Deadpool!

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Deadpool ducked down, rubbing his arm where the wooden knife hit him. (That kinda hurt a bit.)

He walked forward to meet Sokka, nailing him in the face with his escrima stick

"..." Kabuto loaded up on throwing knives, since they were the closest thing to kunai. He still had his own exploding tags, but he wasn't sure if he'd be needing those. Focusing chakra into his hands so they glowed with a pale blue fire, he smiled at Deadpool. "You're the one who set the assignment, Sensei," he said almost apologetically.

Re: Fight Deadpool!

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

...

He kinda hoped that he'd get some nice couch sex to help ease the pain this was probably going to involve.

"You do know that the danger shop keeps things from getting out of hand, riiiiight?"

Haku adjusted his mask and stood there motionless, and waiting to Deadpool to make the first move.


There is nothing wrong with being a band geek!!

Re: Fight Deadpool!

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Deadpool so did not. Damn ninjas.

He scratched his head with the escrima stick. "So... how are things?"
