Fencing club

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)]
