Fencing Club

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.

Archie's eyes go wide for a moment, and he turns very, very red with the effort of not bursting out into hysterical laughter. "Try commanding a gun crew in the heat of a ship-to-ship engagement," he chokes out after a moment. "Thrusting dripping swabs, powder cartridges, and balls down red-hot cannon barrels . . ."

Still red-faced and chuckling, he takes a few awkward, experimental steps.

"Did I mention," he adds with a grin, "that if you rush the process too much, the balls will explode?"

*Coughs to conceal a laugh and tries to ignore the red spreading across his cheeks. It's not good for his emo rep.*

Luckily with fencing, the thrusts only drip if you've been going at it for awhile, and there's little chance of exploding balls. There's always the chance that the foil might penetrate your protection, however.

As he hefts the foil, Archie isn't even bothering to hide his evil grin now. "This is much longer, yet lighter, than I'm used to. I believe I can keep it up for longer than I usually can."

*salutes Archie with his foil*

Let's have at it then. I warn you that I have been mainly trained in rapier fighting, so my thrusts might be a bit strong for you to handle at first.

[OOC: ZOMG. *ded* This is cracking me up, but I'm too tired to come up with a good enough response. Will try and pick it up in the morning.]
