Fencing Club

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the first meeting of the fencing club, or the place where we train you to fight off the next invasion of the undead forces. Edward was unable to be here tonight, so I hope that he is off hunting for equipment for those who do not have their own.

I suppose that everyone has been instructed in different styles of swordfighting, so adjustments will have to be made. Suit up and find a partner to practice some basic back-and-forth sparring with. And endeavor not to wound your partner; it would be better to save that for the next wave of supernatural attackers.

*rolls his shoulders as a warm-up, assumes starting position*

I've been told I'm very good at this, so I'll give it my best shot.

*raises an eyebrow*

Ready?

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Always.

*starts circling slowly looking for an opening*

*smiles, lunges towards Callisto in a way Obi-Wan always referred to as "too showy, Anakin"*

[OOC: OMG, me either. Too bad this isn't Barbossa. We could just be all "swash, swash, buckle, buckle" about it. *looks up fencing on Wikipedia*: Okay, I lunge, you parry and riposte (attack back, but a fancy word). Shower, rinse, repeat.]

*side stepping, Callisto blocks and parries Anakin's lunge*

You're telegraphing, dearie.

*Callisto attempts an attack of her own on the backswing*

*blocks it easily*

Getting used to the feel of the blade, darling.

*spins, swings the blade at her legs*

[OOC: works for me. I'm figuring they're probably about equal on this anyway, with Anakin at a slight disadvantage by not knowing how an actual sword works.]

*with a short bark of laughter, Callisto jumps straight up as Anakin's blade slashes the air underfoot, moving into an overhand swing as she lands*

*rolls under her blade, ending up on the opposite side of the mat, comes up sword ready*

This is too much fun to be allowed on school property.

*advances forward with a huge grin on his face*

Exactly what I needed today.

*carefully backing up, Callisto makes a "come hither gesture" with her free hand*

I always say, you can never have too much fun!

*abruptly rushes Anakin, aiming a slash across his torso*

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

*leaps up, front tucks over the sword and Callisto*

*turns around, mimics her "come hither" gesture*

I'll have to look into that philosophy.

*spinning around to keep Anakin in her line of sight Callisto chuckles*

Now you? You're good.

*advancing, she starts slowly weaving her blade in an almost hypnotic pattern*

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

You're not half-bad yourself.

*keeps his attention between Callisto's blade and her eyes to see which way she's going to go*

[OOC: Bedtime for me--continue tomorrow? Anakin could use the workout :)]
