[the Hero is up in the gym just working on her fitness out in the woods engaging zombies/gorillas/hazardous wildlife of camp in MORTAL KOMBAT!!1! Please to be harassing her]

[OOC: You know the drill--this post is open forever, if you want to talk to Rosalyn and I haven't got her out and about, or if you want to continue old threads, or threads

[so you're probably getting used to being dropped in on by uninvited ninja, which is why we'll be taking the gentlemanly approach this time out]

Oi, Rosalyn, up for a spar?

[parasol_hero]

Oh, I don't know...who's asking for one?

[spiderman_ver_4]

Some guy with eight limbs, didn't catch the name. I got an idea for it, though...

[parasol_hero]

Do enlighten me, please.

[spiderman_ver_4]

Whaddaya say to limited range? Say, fifteen, sixteen feet maximum.

[parasol_hero]

I should say that this eight-limbed individual is certainly not one to back down from a challenge.

[spiderman_ver_4]

Never let it be said that this particular Sound nin let an assured ass-kickin' get in the way of a good spar. Or maybe not so assured.

[parasol_hero]

[drawing her sword]

We shall see whose ass shall be receiving a kicking once you have gotten into position!

[spiderman_ver_4]

That reminds me, been meaning to ask what the Heroic standard is on whackin' someone with the non-business chunk a' your sword.

[and this is supposed to be the graceful production of four, count 'em, *four* practice fencing swords, but actually, he's making faces] Ecch, the handles on these things are a bitch...

[parasol_hero]

A rapier is not a truncheo--

Oh my god, are you alright?!
[running over and hovering concernedly]

[spiderman_ver_4]

I know, but I went an' had a look; with a standard katana, you wanna whack someone without killin' 'em, you do it with the butt. Western-style swordsmen hit with the flat of the blade.

[and if you're off your guard, the tip of the lower right-hand blade just came quite close to snicking your headgear right off] Just fine, thanks, now don't come over an' start makin' it easy for me.

[parasol_hero]

I've never really opted for that approach, to be honest. I generally switch to my fists or magic in a situation such as the one you just outlined...it is food for thought, I must say!

[might just be abusing Shunshin no Jutsu to get a safe distance away from him at the last minute]

Only if you stop abusing my good nature!

[spiderman_ver_4]

See, that seems like sense to me, unless you're tryin' to just piss the other guy off...

[oh well. testing sword for strength and flexibility. it's far from perfect, but not unusable either] See, I would, but your good nature doesn't remotely mean you abandon your reflexes. Still, good shunshin. That'll make this interesting.

[parasol_hero]

If I wished to do that, I would open my mouth and cast Powerless!

Well, as I said when we first met, I would hate to bore you!

[casting Frost in his general vicinity]

[spiderman_ver_4]

See, this is the thing, most of the research I've done didn't cover worlds with elemental magic or ninjutsu, meanin' you're out a wealth of options.

I don't think you could if you tried. [getting out of the way of that quite quickly, but not before spitting out a nice-sized web which...freezes solid] Hmph. This definitely won't bore me...might maul me, improves the scenery though.

[parasol_hero]

You could simply ask me about these things!

[rushing at him]

You flatter me so!
[grins before looking SRS]
I should hate to maul you, you realise! What I am aiming for here is an excellent workout for the both of us!
