Swordplay, Thursday

There were jingle bells everywhere on Deadpool's uniform. And elf booties.

He hated this island. Hated it with enough force that he was contemplating some sort of editorial edict. Or maybe complaining to LJ. Either or, man.

"So, last week we had Thanksgiving. So, I hope you enjoyed stuffing your face around familial dysfunction because today we're talkin' about fair play and ethics and crap." Oh yeah. You can feel the enthusiasm.

"Like... bringing a gun to a knife fight, kicking an opponent when he's down just for the funsies, or holding a loved one hostage." A beat. Though that sometimes backfires..."

Damn those Avengers!

"So, today I want you to partner off and come up with ways to beat your partner using the most unscrupulous methods possible."

Partner Off!

Scruples. Who needs them.

"Disembowelment," Anemone said cheerfully. "They can't hit you back if they're holding in their intestines."

"Taking out their arms or legs works, too," Zack noted, nodding Anemone's way. "Kinda frustrates the heck out of them, too."

Less fatal, of course.

"Gang up on them. Fair fights are for amateurs."

"Hit them with a weapon they've never seen before," Mat said.

Why yes, he was planning on smuggling guns back. Why do you ask?

"Use powers when they're not expecting it," Zayne suggested.

Mat grinned. "Kick them where it will flaming hurt."

"Secretly wear armor under your clothes?" Zayne said.

He wasn't much of a dirty fighter.

"I should do that," Mat decided. "I'd have a lot fewer scars."

Re: Partner Off!

"It's the nice thing about Jedi robes. They're not exactly the best armor, but there's enough layers that you have some padding if nothing else," Zayne mused. "Oh! Grab the other person's loose clothes to pull them around."

"A knife through the eye tends to slow people down," Mat added.

"Well, that would definitely be cheating," Zayne noted. "But so would tripping them."

Mat was better at this game than Zayne. Clearly.

Re: Partner Off!

[bloody-luck.livejournal.com]

That's because Mat was a big cheating cheater.

"Well, once they're down, you might as well stab them in the back."

Re: Partner Off!

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"That's not a bad bit of cheating either," Zayne said. "Remind me never to fight you."

Re: Partner Off!

"I am very interested in staying alive," Mat said with a smile. "I save the fighting fair for others."

Re: Partner Off!

"I can't really argue with that point, I guess," Zayne said. "Especially in this class."

"...Ethics?"

The problem would be getting Illyria to come up with something she'd have an issues with doing in any fight, should the need or the whim arise.

Re: Partner Off!

"Rules," Firekeeper supplied helpfully. "Like not killing humans unless they is bandits. Or try to kill you first." She knew that much from experience at least.

Re: Partner Off!

[bitchy_smurf]

Illyria gave her a sniff that would be a snort if she felt the topic was worth such effort. "I know what they are. I also know things are as useless in battle as lungs in the elder deeps of the sea."

Yuffie danced around a bit, actually enjoying her elf outfit. Yes, she was slightly nuts.

"Drop a monster on them." Or a giant cactus.
