Sparring, huh? I guess I haven't trained much in the past few days. Sure, I'm up for it. Where would you want to meet?

[Unfortunately, Erza's described in-canon as being physically incapable of holding back, and her strength is absolutely ridiculous.]

[Voice] goggle_syndrome February 6 2011, 01:36:58 UTC

[Taichi is a stubborn child, and because he's been thirteen for a good couple of months, clearly this means he's a man and can handle absolutely anything.]

Cool. I'm at the barracks. You know where that is, right?

[Voice/Action] redhairedknight February 6 2011, 01:40:41 UTC

Of course. I'll be right over.

[After a few minutes, Erza shows up wearing her regular armour, though she appears to be unarmed at the moment.]

So what kind of sword do you use?

[Action] goggle_syndrome February 6 2011, 01:46:19 UTC

[Well, next to Ezra Taichi just looks like an unprepared doofus. He's going to take a moment to examine the armor. Damn.]

It's just something I borrowed from Sokka's place. [And he's pulling out his smaller cutlass. Yeah, it's not that impressive, but with the way he gives it a test wave he thinks otherwise.]

[Action] redhairedknight February 6 2011, 01:50:07 UTC

I see. I find that sparring using the same type of weapon as my opponent helps me train in a variety of different fighting styles, so cutlass it is. [In a flash of light, a row of cutlasses appears in front of Erza, hovering in the air. After examining them, she decides on one and grabs it, causing the rest to disappear.]

[Action] goggle_syndrome February 6 2011, 02:07:22 UTC

Whoa! [...just. Gawking.] How'd you do that?

[Action] redhairedknight February 6 2011, 02:22:41 UTC

[Well, if you see anything like that, a wizard did it.]

Magic. I have the ability to summon weapons and armour, which is more useful than most people think.

[Action] goggle_syndrome February 6 2011, 09:49:24 UTC

[Easily impressed, this one is.]

Seriously? That's so cool. Where'd you learn to do that?

[Action] redhairedknight February 6 2011, 19:27:27 UTC

I was born with it. At least, I think so; I wasn't able to use it until I was eleven years old, roughly.

[Action] goggle_syndrome February 6 2011, 21:43:10 UTC

So it's probably not something you can teach, huh?

[Action] redhairedknight February 7 2011, 00:00:22 UTC

Not as far as I know. For the purposes of this spar, though, I won't use it.

[Action] goggle_syndrome February 7 2011, 04:02:00 UTC

Good call. Just cutlass on cutlass then, huh? Sounds good to me. [Give him a second to warm up with his own cutlass.]

[Action] redhairedknight February 7 2011, 04:09:39 UTC

[Erza's using this time to examine her sword for any scratches or chips. After a few moments of checking, she appears to be satisfied with its condition and gives it a few test swings.]

[Action] goggle_syndrome February 7 2011, 06:50:26 UTC

[And there's a nod of satisfaction.] Cool, ready when you are! [And he's got himself in a fighting stance.

This...probably won't end well.]

[Action] redhairedknight February 7 2011, 23:22:46 UTC

[No it won't. With a look of intense concentration on her face, Erza leaps forward, swinging her sword downwards. If Taichi blocks it, he's definitely going to feel it. Otherwise, there's going to be a big crack in the ground if he dodges (or a big cloud of dust; I don't know what would be on the ground here)]

[Action] goggle_syndrome February 8 2011, 01:07:45 UTC

[I've always imagined the ground is something solid, but either way he doesn't get enough time to dodge so blocking is go! His arms are shaking a bit as he attempts to throw Ezra's sword off, already trying to think of his next plan. He pulls his sword away and attempts to go for a sort of slashing move. It's not very practiced, of course, due to the fact he's basing a lot of this off of what he's seen in movies, but maybe it'll be effective. Maybe.]
