Building a Better Fighter [Week 7, Period 5]; Thursday 06/28

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

The usual Danger Shop Dojo was much bigger than the previous weeks, with separate areas marked off simply by white lines. For a change, Kenpachi was the one who seemed in the better mood between himself and Yachiru. His psychotic, toothy grin was smeared all over his sharp face as he loomed over the gathering students; Yachiru stood beside him, clutching his robes slightly, looking about ready to cry. She didn't want it to be the last class already...



"This," Kenpachi barked in his usual fashion, "will be our final class. I will allow myself to admit," he paused, for effect and a craning of his head that made his neck snap to the tune of jingling bells, "you've surprised me. You are all, for the most part, very good fighters. I might even go as far as to say I've enjoyed our time together, teaching you, fighting you. However, I am not a being of this world. I can't take this existence any more and they are letting me return to the Soul Society sooner than I expected. This, lucky for you, puts me in a very good mood." He flashed his grin at them all. "I can kill there. I miss killing."

"For you last exercise," he announced, "you will, unfortunately, not be killing each other, but you will be defeating each other. I have organized, with the help of my Lieutenant, who actually bothered learning your names, a tournament. You are divided into pairs; these pairs will fight and the winner will move on to the next tier to fight another winner, so on, so forth, until only one remains. That one remaining winner will get...I don't know." He smirked. "A cookie, or something."

"The pairs are as follows:

Teddy Altman and Molly Hayes
Qui-gon Jinn and Peter Pevensie
Dawn Summers and Ami Mizuno
Adam Park and Haku
Alphonse Elric and Bridge Carson
Abigail Whistler and Alec
Aravis Tarkheena and Buffy Summers
Andros and Gwynn Hood
Vi Hewson and Michaelangelo

"These pairings, to the best of my ability, have been made based on similar fighting styles and classroom activity and a bit on availability. Or, in the case of you two with the gloves, because Yachiru insisted on it." The little pink haired girl smiled at that point, and clapped her hands together with a tiny 'yay!' "They are to be hand-to-hand, unless you both agree on specific weapons, in which case, the Danger Shop has them available to you. As much as I hate to say it, please stop the fight before you kill each other or I'll send Yachiru in to do it. You'll have to get detention, and I'll have to probably deal with a lot of bullshit that I just don't want to do, got it?"



"I think I got everyone. If I did forget you, let me know, and we'll have our TA actually do something useful and fight you. Now, get going."

There was a pause before he went to his usual spot to watch. "Oh. One last thing. I believe I am in charge of detention this week. If any of you are interested in one last class after this," GRIN, "something might be arranged. It...should be...interesting."


[[ So, I asked for availabilities so hopefully this will go smoothly. If you get to the second tier, great! Just ping into the second tier as it comes along. So, if you get your battle done, winner ping in, and then, the next available winner will fight them, so on, so forth, same with latter tiers. If we don't get a second, third, final tier? Big deal. :) No worries at all, no pressure to finish. Last class, la. No biggie.

Please, if you are unavailable for play today, whether not up to it, other engagements, whatever, it would be really awesome to forfeit your match to the other partner. This, of course, can be handwavey and all that, but it gives the people who can and want to play it out the chance to do more. I should be around for pinging at Skylie1313 if you need anything. Hope I didn't forget anything and that everything is clear.]]

Listen, stare, chat, before getting to the activity.

The Tournament; Tier One -- 06/28

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

Please ping into the appropriate thread.

If you are going to forfeit your match for one reason or another, also do so in your thread.

Teddy Altman and Molly Hayes -- 06/28

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

A colossal clashing of strength!

Re: Teddy Altman and Molly Hayes -- 06/28

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly was still uncomfortable with the whole "fight your classmates" thing, but getting to fight Teddy again could be fun. She spent a few minutes stretching out while she waited for Teddy to be ready.

Qui-gon Jinn and Peter Pevensie -- 06/28

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

A swordsman is a swordsman, whether his blade glows or not.

Re: Qui-gon Jinn and Peter Pevensie -- 06/28

Qui-Gon looked at Peter. "I don't suppose I could talk you into practice blades?"

Dawn Summers and Ami Mizuno -- 06/28

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

Will one of these timid flowers stand stronger than the other?

Re: Dawn Summers and Ami Mizuno -- 06/28

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami looked around nervously, searching for Dawn. She wasn't sure if she should use her new-found powers or not.

Adam Park and Haku -- 06/28

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

Kenpachi might be hoping for one of the ninjas to give him a surprise.

Alphonse Elric and Bridge Carson -- 06/28

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

Battle of the GLOVES!

Entirely Yachiru's fault, this one.

Abigail Whistler and Alec -- 06/28

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

Wasn't easy finding a good match for one these two...

Aravis Tarkheena and Buffy Summers -- 06/28

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

Sword against Stake, perhaps?

Andros and Gwynn Hood -- 06/28

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

...sometimes there's just no rhyme or reason, really.

Vi Hewson and Michaelangelo -- 06/28

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

No, Kenpachi's not aware of Mikey's current state....He would find it a crappy excuse anyway.

Other Tiers -- 06/28

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

Should we get to them, they'll be added as needed here, in more mini threads.

Tier Two -- 06/28

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

Starting out...with Tier Two! GO!

Talk to the TA -- 06/28

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

When Tramalamadingdong pings in!

Re: Talk to the TA -- 06/28

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori's here and realized she was going to miss this class. Yeah.

Talk to Kenpachi and Yachiru -- 06/28

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

Yes, he appreciated the drawing, Alec.

No, he won't ever admit it.

Last chance other than detention to talk to the pair.

OOC -- 06/28

[namelessblade.livejournal.com]

INSANE OCD gives me a chance to show off all my shiny Ken icons I never get to use! :O

Oh, maaaaan, this class was fantastic. I loved doing it so much and will miss it terribly. Thank you all for being so amazing! Now spam me with OOC comments so I can use more of these icons. XD
