The Twenty-First Day

[Filter: Neku]

Hey, Neku... I know we Pacted because we thought we had to fight a Noise even though it was really Rhyme... but I think we should practice. Like, fighting together and stuff. It's just... it's a thing we should be good at, especially here, right? What do you think?

Does anyone want to fight me? Not, like actually or anything!

[fightemourges]

Yeah, I agree. We need some serious practice. Maybe it would have been different if you were there but I fought this guy while we were all on the boats and next time I see him I want some revenge. I think we're going to have to fight other people here eventually. [ Like her boyfriend if he's a jerk to her. ]

[forever and ever!]

[stalkershiki]

Yeah, probably. I also want to see just how much I can do, since I'm alive but we could still Pact. I mean, I guess that I can probably fight, but not read minds or anything... I don't have a Player Pin, after all. But we should definately still do it!

[fightemourges]

Yeah. It'll be important to figure that out. It looks like a couple of people are already volunteering so I'll let you organize it. I'm not busy with anything so just let me know when this is going down.

[stalkershiki]

Alright, works for me! Also, I wanted to ask... since you don't remember the last two weeks of the Game, that means that you're still in the Reaper's Game, technically, right? So you still have a Player Pin, right? And you can read minds and stuff, right?

[equestrian_envy]

[Whoa nelly, jerk boyfriend alert. Not, seriously, he's working on the whole 'jerk' thing, okay?]

D --> Spar?
D --> Is that completely necessary?
D --> The chances of you getting harmed in some way are e%ceedingly high, especially considering the abilities of a majority of the people living within this castle
D --> I demand you retract your wish to 'fight' anyone
D --> I won't have you harming yourself for no reason, I'm perfectly capabull to defend you if need be

[stalkershiki]

[She giggles for a second before sobering up.]

That's sweet of you, Equius, but... what if something happens when you're not there? Or what if you can't do anything? Besides, I think practicing fighting will be a good way to keep in shape! And I can totally hold my own against other fighters.

[equestrian_envy]

D -->
D --> Fine
D --> But I swear to you, if you get injured severely during this 'practicing' I'll have whoever did it's think pan
D --> This is not an idle threat mind you
D --> I am e%tremely serious right now
D --> Joking is never something I do

[stalkershiki]

[She giggles a little more, but manages to suppress it some this time.]

Don't worry- I'll be alright, I promise! I know how to defend myself.

[She remembers Shiki, even though it's been a while since they last spoke. And even so she's a little surprised to see such a request from her. Yet she did know hand-to-hand and could probably point her in the right direction for any other kind of fighting.]

Um...what kind of fighting did you have in mind to learn, Shiki-san?

dictated

[stalkershiki]

Well... I'm not really sure. I just kind of want to practice going up against someone, to see how well Neku's and my attacks will work here in Paradisa, and to practice fighting people together and everything. Just, you know, keep our skills sharp and stuff!

dictated

[sunnyheiress]

Oh, will it be you and another learning?

But I mean... Are you looking to learn hand-to-hand fighting, or with weapons? If it's the former, I could try to teach you.

dictated

[stalkershiki]

Well, it's not so much learning as just practicing, although if you're willing to show us some stuff, we'd love to see it! And yeah, it's me and my Partner, Neku~

[p2iioniic]

what can you do.

[stalkershiki]

I fight with my Partner, Neku Sakuraba. We fight together using a variety of special attacks. Neku is better with them than me- he can do all sorts of stuff with telekinesis, lighting, fire... all sorts of stuff, so long has he has the right Pins. I only use one thing... I guess it's telekinesis with my stuffed cat, Mr. Mew. I just kind of... send him at an opponent, and he does his own thing, attacking them. We both also know basic hand to hand.

[p2iioniic]

piin2?
and what do you mean "he doe2 hii2 own thiing."
don't you have two control hii2 movement2.

[ filter : sollux ]

[stalkershiki]

Oh, um... in the world we come from, we were in situations where we'd have to fight, and we could have those special abilities I mentioned, but we had to be wearing the Pin that went along with each ability that we wanted. It's... kind of a long story to explain, but basically special Pins give us special abilities.

And... well, I don't really know. I know that if I'm trapped somehow, or restrained, Mr. Mew won't do anything... he won't attack whatever it is that's holding me, making me think that I am the necessary part of his doing stuff... but I don't really control how, exactly, he attacks enemies... I just send him at them, and... they take damage is, I guess, the best way to explain it.

[stalkershiki]

But don't you remember from...

...Oh, right... you don't remember the Game. Um... maybe? I'm honestly not sure... I don't even know if you can fight the way we do without Beat. If I can, I totally will, though! I can at least teach you a little basic hand to hand combat... you should know at least something.

[Still feels super guilty about what happened when Rhyme was a Noise, and wants to teach her how to defend herself.]

[stalkershiki]

Of course, Rhyme! I'd do practically anything for you, you know that~
