Fencing club
Welcome to the second meeting of the Fencing Club. I may be in and out much of tonight, as I must spend some time with the rest of the School Beautification Committee, as well as some other prior commitments. Mainly brooding in my room. Edward may or may not be here, depending on where he is today. Feel free to go ahead and start without us.
Also, I feel I should clarify that you are more than welcome to train in any style of swordfighting you like so long as your sword has been blunted to be non-lethal. However, should you require instruction, I will only be able to aid you in fencing. If you'd like to learn a different style, you'll have to ask someone else.
Protective gear is by the "pyramid" set-up, extra equipment is by the wall. Duel your hearts out.

If you need your own weapon, and/or equipment, please sign this paper specifying EXACTLY what sort of blade you need, or what sort of protective equipement, if any.
This is also the roll sheet for the meeting! If you want your weekly extracuricular credit, sign this so it gets turned in to our faculty sponsor.

Brooding in your room? I love brooding.Anakin walked into the room looking a little worse for wear from his night of insane drinking at Spike's, and waited to see who showed up. He realized that clanging is probably not great for his head, but it beats the obnoxious Polka music currently coming from the dorms.
no subject
I, sir, am a room-brooding machine.*Hamlet wanders back down from the roof, his head pounding loudly from being far too close to very loud polka. He nods wearily at
Little Jedi AnnieAnakin.*no subject
See? Annie. There's a reason to brood right there. Add in the haircut and the school should be glad I even leave my room*Waves back*
Better here than whatever that racket is over at the dorms, is any case.
I heard you say you could teach me fencing. I know
many, many ways to kill people with a lightsaber, and my braina bunch of other sword-fighting techniques, but I don't think I'm familiar with this one. Would you mind?no subject
What sort of self-respecting man calls himself Annie? Perhaps I should feel lucky I only have my murdering, incestuous, and slightly paranormal family to brood over. We should band together to found the Brooding Black Wearing Emo Kids Association (BBWEKA) so that we could get extra-curricular credits for all this brooding.I've been at the dorm with the rest of the School Beautification Committee. I know now the true horrors of accordions and polka now.
I can teach you fencing if you'd like. Based on the fighting I saw you do with Callisto last week, fencing is a more refined, graceful way of fighting. You have to make the assumption that your opponent has some sort of honour and will respect the rules of thrust-parry-riposte. If they don't, that's when the sport gets interesting.
no subject
I don't call myself Annie. One day I'll kill every single person who's ever heard me be referred to as by that terrible childhood nickname. *shifty look* Hypothetically of course.
And if people are getting extracurricular credit for being virgins, we can certainly get credit for brooding.
Heh. There's an assumption, that they'll play fair. It does look slightly familiar, though--there's a form I learned a few years back that's more refined than what I was using with Callisto.
*picks up a foil, checks the weight* This is more like what I'm used to. The sword I was using last week was much heavier than my normal weapon.
no subject
Throw my uncle in there, and I'll glaldly help you with your killing spree. Still hypothetically of course.
Brooding is an fully engaging activity. All we need is a nice poster, and we'll be on an equal level with the Male Virgin Club.
You have to at least give them the benefit of the doubt before you break out in full swashbuckling style. Otherwise you merely look showy.
It's probably closer in weight to what you're used to, but foils aren't made to hack things off. If you become skilled enough in fencing or rapier fighting, you will learn just how to stab people to kill them instantly. Not that you can do that with these bated foils, mind you.
no subject
Deal. I'll give you a call when, if! If! I decide to flip out and kill everything.
With a nice enough poster we could get half the school in the club. Brooders get more women than virgins, right?
I think this is definitely something I need to learn. My old teacher was always going on about how showy my normal style is. Be nice to show him I've actually been learning something here.
Ooh. Sounds like fun. I mean, on a purely academic level. New tactics are always good to know--better chance your enemy doesn't know what you're going to do.
no subject
I'll be waiting for it then, rapier at the ready, my dark lord.
Chicks dig brooders. It makes them think that we're "deep" and "tortured souls" inside.
Showy is not bad per se, you just have to make sure that it's also affective. All style and no fight makes you an easy target. To kill someone with a rapier, you have to aim for the vital points. Eyes, throat, shoulders, heart, stomach, groin, knees. Just stab and rip, and you'll kill or dismember your opponent.
From a purely technical standpoint, of course. I would never memorize such facts to put them into practical use.
no subject
They're so gullible, man. Deep Thoughts Club it is. We can get someone to teach us the guitar or have poetry recitals or something. They love that crap.*nods*
My galaxy's big on whacking off hands. Incompacitates the opponent with the added bonus of well, big smoking hands. Kind of traditional.
*memorizes the rest of Hamlet's list*
Of course, this is all purely technical. To actually use these tactics against another being would be Wrong. Unless they deserved it.
no subject
The "Deep Thoughts Club" sounds like a good title. I have a good deal of depressing poetry already written, so all we need then is a musician.Or if a ghost told you to do it. One must help the dead move on into the next stage of their afterlives, and to not do so would be inconsiderate. But yes, otherwise completely Wrong.
Hands? Interesting. Do you keep them as war trophies or just dispose of them? My ancestors used to put the severed heads of their opponents on pikes outside the front gates of the castle.
I'd like to stick my uncle's head on one.no subject
Excellent. There's got to be someone around here that can play an instrument.One must be polite, true.
We don't really keep them, no. They have a habit of falling down giant shafts or off of cliffs, occassionally followed by other bits of the opponent. In the spirit of Justice and Truth, of course.
no subject
Or if not, we can attempt to fake it.A pity. It's always a shame to loose pieces of your opponent, but one must think of Truth and Justice, and not unrequited bloodlust.

no subject
Works for me. If the Jedi thing doesn't work out, perhaps I can be in a band.[OOC: Sure! I've been dying to get these two emo kids to talk to each other :)]
