Oh hell yeah. [He's grinning, has a bo-ken resting on his shoulder and still has some of his slightly roughed-up gear on - apparently sparring with a Garchomp leads to the pads getting chewed up, who knew?]

Not that I don't mind trainin' th'team or anythin', but I missed actually gettin' a chance t'be out on the field myself, an' who knows what people from other worlds are gonna come up with!

[You have never seen someone so enthusiastic about the possibility of getting his ass beaten in new and unusual ways.]

[Video] foolishwren October 5 2011, 04:51:16 UTC

Yeah, same here, really.

I mean, okay, the whole Pokemon-battle thing's grown on me a bit since I got here, but... nothing replaces just... GETTING in there and doing the job yourself, y'know?

[It's not that Heather likes HAVING to fight, but... she does like fighting. It gets the blood pumping.]

[Video] k9tantei October 5 2011, 06:03:05 UTC

No kidding. I love gettin' t'teach, don't get me wrong, but I didn't get t'be Taisho back home just by sittin' on th'sidelines. Nothin' quite like th'challenge, eh?

[Actually be careful of what you say, he's adapted sword technique to pipes, crowbars, and stray pieces of wood before, he might be compelled to try and teach a few tricks.] An' I'd be lyin' if I said I wasn't curious how I'd measure up t'the people who do it for a living back where they're from.

[Video] foolishwren October 5 2011, 06:27:15 UTC

[To be fair, Heather's wielded all of those and more, so she's pretty well-educated in the art of weapon improvisation herself.]

Same here, actually.

There's a lot of professionals here.

But I've had a few tips from some of 'em, sooooo...

[... Heather that does not replace a formal education in fighting SURE YOU KILLED A GOD BUT DON'T GET COCKY KIDDO SERIOUSLY.]

[Video] k9tantei October 5 2011, 06:43:33 UTC

[He's grinning.] You're lucky on that one. [Sure, he's been in fights before - and a few against people that were DAMN good - but it's not exactly something he's had to do to survive for any extended period. OTOH, he actually has had a formal education in it, sooo...]

Even if we lose, we get t'learn a few tricks, right? 'Sides, I wouldn't be above lookin' for a few sparring partners t'go up against now'an'then.

[Video] foolishwren October 5 2011, 07:01:43 UTC

[Yeah, Heather had learned in... that way where if you didn't learn fast, you DIED. Sure, she'd busted her knuckles on more than a few faces before that, but it turns out desperation can be the best teacher.]

Yeah, I HAD one but we're in different places so much it doesn't happen much anymore. [She misses sparring with Liquid, even if the big lug did always cheat. :(]

[Video] k9tantei October 5 2011, 07:14:11 UTC

[That it is, and just as good as a formal one, really - it doesn't take much if you manage to survive. Heiji, for his part, is forever going to twitch about cheating bastards with poisoned weapons, among other things.]

Yanno, if you're around Goldenrod right now, I'm pretty free; Wani's a pretty good challenge but there's a big difference between sparrin' with a dragon that's bigger'n you an' another person. Used t'swords, but I've got a couple spare shinai around...

[Video] foolishwren October 5 2011, 07:32:12 UTC

Well, I'm not there yet.

I'll be comin' down for the tournament a couple days ahead of time, though.

Assuming Dad doesn't put me in a box and tape it shut to stop me from leaving.

[Video] k9tantei October 5 2011, 07:35:04 UTC

Look me up when y'get here - there's always a way out'f a box if y'look. [What him encourage this sort of thing never - ]

'Sides, whatever happens in the tournament can't be worse'n gettin' carpet-bombed by explodin' bugs! [Heiji, you are entirely too happy about past injuries.]

[Video] foolishwren October 5 2011, 07:55:32 UTC

[SHE'S PRETTY CONFIDENT SHE'LL BE ABLE TO CONVINCE HER DAD TO LET HER GO but there's aaaalways the chance...]

Heh, yeah, a tournament with like... RULES and shit? That's nothin'. We're already used to chaos.

[Video] k9tantei October 5 2011, 08:54:58 UTC

[That's the spirit. 8D Even if this seems more like mixed-martial-arts bets-may-be-off than you know, normal martial arts sport-matches...]

Hell yeah - Yanno what they say, bumps an'bruises build character! [Says the guy who's known for finding many new and creative ways to get injured.] An' even outside'f Johto, I dunno what your experience is, but one tangle with guns or poisoned swords an' somethin' like this? Psssh. [Yes, there are scars to go with that quip.]

[Video] foolishwren October 7 2011, 08:07:47 UTC

[Yeah, and Heather's known for finding many new and unusual ways to DIE. Good thing she had Valtiel around to keep putting her back together again, right?]

Nothing this place could throw at me can top the stuff I've seen and done at home.

[She won't elaborate on that, but Heiji will... probably get the impression that under that smug tone, she is dead serious.]

[Video] k9tantei October 8 2011, 05:02:51 UTC

[Oh, he catches that one - it's not an unfamiliar shift in tone.]

Heh. Maybe you're one of th'ones I should be worryin' about, eh? [Granted, he's kind-of incapable of being intimidated - it's more gentle teasing, although there's a stray hand shifting his hat in half-salute.]

[Video] foolishwren October 8 2011, 21:56:52 UTC

I'm one of the ones everybody should be worried about.

[... And it's okay. Heather's honestly not that intimidating until you see her really angry.]

[Video] k9tantei October 12 2011, 09:17:09 UTC

[That's both a good thing, and usually a hallmark of the REALLY scary ones.]

Here's hopin' we both manage t'have some luck with this then, eh? Give everyone who thinks they've got it wrapped up a nice surprise. [And he adds a lazy grin-] Just don't think I'm gonna go easy on ya if we get matched up.

[Video] foolishwren October 12 2011, 14:17:30 UTC

[Oh yeah.]

Oh, don't worry.

If I'm against you, I won't hold back.
