[Raven is sitting in a tree outside house 12, bow in hand. Around his neck is a very warm looking scarf, given to him by Miyabi. Despite the fact he's complaining, it doesn't seem as though he actually cares, he's just doing it because he can. OOC: Also all other threads would take place before Yuri and Vash.]

I'm startin' ta feel real sorry for

You might want to try rewriting it. I can barely read that chicken-scratch of yours.

[He's getting his equipment together, though.]

[crisis_rain]

I'm not gonna put effort into it, not when it's just gotta get covered in blood anyway.

So, where'd ya wanna do this?

[Filtered]

[once_knighted]

That's some wishful thinking you've got going on there.

[Where? Huh. Considering Raven would be shooting arrows and possibly spells around, it'd probably be best to keep it away from the house itself. Also, the river -- as funny as it was to watch Raven fall in the river the last time he sparred with him way back when, it wouldn't be quite as much with the whole ... well. Winter-thing going on. So--]

... Anyway, we might as well head to the barracks for this. [Footing would be better, less chance of hitting some poor bastard passing by by accident ... Yeah.]

[crisis_rain]

Sounds good! Try not ta be late, ok? Ya never were any good at keepin' the time.

[And off he runs to the barracks, he's looking forward to this. Even though it never ends well.]

[Action]

[once_knighted]

[At least he tries :( Anyway, he'll be at the barracks within about fifteen, twenty minutes or so. It's a long walk, and he had to get his stuff ready to start with.]

[Action]

[crisis_rain]

[That's like a five minute gap! Raven is waiting at the barracks, sitting on top of one of the targets. And just to rub it in, he's wearing that hat you hate so much.]

Hey! Nice ta see ya show up!

[Action]

[once_knighted]

[That hat can go to hell in the biggest of all handbaskets-- I mean what. He doesn't care much about the hat, bro, he just finds it annoying to fight in. Have fun messing up your own range-of-sight.

Anyway, Yuri shrugs, taking off his coat and throwing it to the side. ... It'd be awkward to spar in a winter coat, after all.]

Maybe if you gave me a little more warning, I'd have been here earlier.

[And now he's swinging his sword to let the sheath fly off and ... land on the coat so he can actually find it later.]

[Action]

[crisis_rain]

[I didn't say he was fighting in it, he just wanted to look pimpin' when you showed up. Plus it also means he's been through your stuff again. Anyway, he puts it ontop of one of the training dummies and readies his bow.]

I did give ya warnin'! I told you I was gonna challenge ya!

[Action]

[once_knighted]

[Oh geez that's right-- ... n-not going to let that distract him, though. He'll just ream him for it during the spar, that's all.]

I meant more warning than "let's do this now!", but whatever. [And he's already getting himself into position to start this whole thing. Not only because it's been a while since he sparred someone but also DAMMIT RAVEN STOP GOING THROUGH HIS STUFF oh boy are you going to get it this time D|]

[Action]

[crisis_rain]

[I saw some nasty things in your room man, some nasty things.]

But then there's no element of surprise! [He waves the named arrow around before quickly firing it towards Yuri.]

[Action]

[once_knighted]

[Not anymore -- Estelle cleaned it and he hasn't really had the time to let it go to hell again :(

Regardless, he's not about to stand there and get hit, so he quickly dodges to the left, sending out an Azure Edge shortly afterward.]

If you wanted to surprise me, you shouldn't have told me about this to start with!

[Action]

[crisis_rain]

[No I meant nasty things like your underwear, I never wanted to find your frilly lady panties.

Raven jumps back onto the target to avoid that. Readying another arrow.]

That ain't how duels work, kid.

[Action]

[once_knighted]

[Excuse me sir, he wears boxers thank you D| You're thinking of Flynn Better ready it quick, cause he's charging forward in an attempt to close in.]

Then there's no point in even trying with surprises, is there?

[Action]

[crisis_rain]

[Oh I've seen Flynn's underwear, he's got those green striped ones all the hentai girls wear. He switches his bow to sword and jumps down, HEAD ON COLLISION!]

Oh, I'm full of surprises. Ya should know that by now.

[Action]

[once_knighted]

[That's just about what I expected. COLLISION IT IS! Of course, Yuri immediately raises his blade to meet Raven's, keeping it at a stalemate for the moment.]

I only meant for this, but you got me there.

[Action]

[crisis_rain]

[When Raven shared his room, you should've seen the stuff Flynn had. Did you know, he has a ------? Raven holds his ground, moving his right hand towards the knife in his belt.]

I've got some surprises fer this too.
