Nightshift 39: Music Room

[from here]Adel was right - this would be a good place to practice in. There was a good deal of open space - or would be, once he rearranged things a little - and in case anything did happen in the Sun Room, it would be easy enough to close this room off ( Read more... )

Carefully, Depth Charge peered around the door. It didn't take long to spy the source of the noise: a young human moving furniture around. For a few moments he watched in perplexed silence- what in the Inferno was he doing?- before he remembered the notice he'd seen earlier that day.

"Boxing club, right?" he asked, stepping into the room. Just to check. It didn't look like anyone else was here yet, though.

This had to be the place. Adelheid saw two individuals there already, so he smiled and decided to let them converse amongst themselves for a moment. He himself had been in such a rush that he hadn't had the chance to warm up yet. That just wouldn't do, now would it?

So he put his curved sword up against the wall, put the flashlight on one of the chairs to free up his hands, and started stretching and getting warmed up. The combat uniform he wore was especially designed for freedom of movement and flexibility, and more importantly it belonged to himself, so he went at it with rather more gusto than normal.

There were three people here already, none of whom Soma recognized. One of them was moving furniture and another appeared to be stretching; it was safe to assume she'd found the Boxing Club.

There was no sense in standing around. Nodding at the others, she quickly set the wooden rod on the floor, within easy reach, and went to help clear the room.

So they were some of the first, then. Conklin wasn't surprised at the small crowd - it was just the first night of its existence, after all. Was he going to be the oldest person here? God, that was a depressing thought.

It looked like a kindergarten in here. The spook went to move some of the grey chairs to the side. At least the carpet might serve as a passable wrestling mat so people didn't hurt each other too badly.

Aki's intro; assume he's talking to everyone. fourtharcana March 13 2009, 23:54:24 UTC

Akihiko waved to everyone that had entered, then finished moving the last of the furniture to the sides. He took a second to stretch and jog in place a bit, warming up his muscles a little, then clapped his hands once.

"Thanks, everyone, for helping me get stuff ready, and thanks for coming to this first Landel's Institute Boxing Club meeting." He smiled and took a bow. "I'm Akihiko. I...guess we should do a round of introductions - complete with what fighting styles we're familiar with. And then I guess a few practice rounds are in order. But first, can I borrow one of you to go a round with? I need the warmup," he said, with a grin.

In the short time since Depth Charge had arrived, three more people had arrived- a blond man (armed, he noted with some interest), a female and an older man. A couple of them had chipped in moving furniture, or, for reasons he couldn't even begin to fathom, started to stretch themselves off.

He was just about to head out again when the human he'd found here originally was introducing himself and the club. Well. He didn't have anywhere else to be that night. And if last night's embarrassing performance had been anything to go on, a little training was definitely in order before he could even consider fighting in this body. Nothing wrong with a little education.

Maintaining a healthy distance between himself and the rest of the attendees (the last thing he wanted was to look too enthusiastic...), he pressed his back to the wall and watched Akihiko with a detached curiosity.

Hm, it seemed like there were more people now... most of whom were rather reticent. Unfortunate, that; Akihiko deserved a better reception than that, considering what was going on. So, after putting his sword away, Adelheid walked towards the other boy, noticing Akihiko's size and build. Certainly not as heavily-built as he'd expect from a boxer, but still, it was clear he wasn't a novice either.

"I'm Adelheid Bernstein, and I'm familiar with quite a few different styles. But, for the purpose, I'm a kickboxer." He offered a polite bow to Akihiko, his eyes focused on him instead of the others- sometimes people preferred to be a part of the crowd, after all. "And I'd be honored to have the first round with you."

saintoflangley March 17 2009, 05:20:00 UTC

Conklin hadn't been about to volunteer - it wouldn't have been a fair fight, though unfair in whose favor, it was hard to say. Self-image dictated that he would have been the clear winner, but Akihiko was a young man, and the spook was one no longer, nor was he whole.

Still, it would be interesting to see how he, and Adelheid, fought. He leaned on his cane to watch.

Opening the door carefully, Leon was glad to see others in the room. His legs then decided that, having carried him safely to their destination, their task was now finished. He slumped against the wall by the door, sliding down into a seated position. Too worn out from his alchemy attempt to actually participate, he'd figured he wouldn't be doing anything else besides watching.

Akihiko did appear to be in charge, and that won a lot of respect from the boy considering he was one of the youngest in the room, barring himself and perhaps that girl.

Now, just as long as he didn't nod off again, he might actually learn something. And, well, if he did fall asleep, he felt as if he was in safe company.
