Fencing Club: Salle Wednesday After Classes

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter had blades and practice blades out in the salle as well as towels and water.  When everyone arrived, he stepped forward.  "Hello.  I'm Peter Pevensie if you all don't already know me.  This is the Fencing Club.  We're going to meet every Wednesday down here in the salle to hopefully all work with our blades and get exposure to a variety of styles."

He gestured to Deadpool if he was there.  "Professor Deadpool is our faculty advisor which means...I'm not sure what it means except that he's in charge if we need a teacher."

"Let's worry about introductions and such next week.  let's just warm up today and start drilling with each other.  If you don't know much about blades or swordwork, come find me and I'll introduce you."

[OOC:  Many many thanks to mouthy_merc who reminded me not twice but three times that we had club today.  I'll be out for a wee bit  this evening but back in plenty of time for tags.]

Warm Up!

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Or God help you, Peter will glare.

Thankfully, while his knowledge of swordplay was muddied by the haze of time and youth, he'd been taught recently how to warm up. A bit of movement, a few stretches... this he knows, at least.

Re: Warm Up!

Seregil went through some basic stretches as a warm up mostly because it had been a few weeks since he'd practiced with his sword. Usually he didn't bother because it was a rare situation where you got to warm up before an actual fight.

Re: Warm Up!

Sokka did a few stretches and things. Warm-ups. Yeah.

Drill

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

By yourself or with others

Re: Drill

[therhimineecat.livejournal.com]

Seregil took up his blade and ran through some solo drills while looking around for someone to practice with.

Re: Drill

Peter nodded at the other boy. "How do you do? I don't believe we've met."

Re: Drill

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka poked at Peter. "I, uh... I'm not so good with a sword. Like, I don't really know how to use them at all. I mean, I've been around plenty of times when swords were being used, but I was always at the pointy end."

Re: Drill

Peter grinned. "Good way to learn how to get out of the way of one," he pointed out. He gestured for Sokka to come over to the practice swords with him and picked a suitable one out. "See how this one feels? and then go paint me a pretty picture"

Talk to Peter

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Cause he's there

Re: Talk to Peter

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"In the interest of not harming myself or others," he said as he sidled over, as unobtrusively as possible, "perhaps introductions might be in order."

He remembered his times down in Red Windmill with the Gale Forcers, what they'd taught him and how he'd played with them. Then there'd been a couple of play bouts with the Home Guardsmen down near Munchkin Mousehole... but that'd been with sticks, both, and his memories of both weren't anything to make him trust any kind of blade, practice or no, in his hands.

Re: Talk to Peter

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter smiled. "I am always in the interest of not harming any of us," he said. "You must be new this term?"

Talk to Deadpool

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Cause he's the man

Re: Talk to Deadpool

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

With the plan!

Kinda.

Maybe.

Shut up.

But he was there!

Re: Talk to Deadpool

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka waved at Sifu Pajamaman. "Hey, look! Swords!"
