Twelfth Broken Fang

[Action]

[Despite any cold or what have you, Jaffar it out practicing. He would go to the barracks for it, but that would be too out of the way if Nino needed any help. Though, outside of their community building, Jaffar has set up a training dummy that he stole borrowed from the barracks itself. What is he practicing?

Well, his critical

Very impressive!

[taintedruby]

[...What why is there someone watching and praising me. Oh well, position taking again]

[chikyu_sakura]

-Because that's what she does.-

[taintedruby]

[Whatever. Now he's going to just do his normal attack]

[merepuppet]

[Yo. Have creepy remnant watching you from afar.]

[taintedruby]

[Oh I see. Well Jaffar can sense the eyes. But mostly he's going to keep up his work here]

[merepuppet]

[And Kadaj will just keep watching like the creepo he is.]

[taintedruby]

[No one's attacking... well, he's got no need to stop here. A pause and now his more conventional attack is going to be practiced]

[taintedruby]

[You bet your sorry ass he is. He's amazing.]

[taintedruby]

[...A pause there and then-] ...

[He turns. He was aware Hugo was there for some time, of course, but now he's tensing his muscles - which probably looks odd with his Killing Edges in hand there. Well not odd, more scary. Particularly given his eyes]

...

[...Yeah, that's his answer]

[taintedruby]

[Within that attack there is no opening to damage Jaffar or even to dodge. The issue is defense - armor on either of the key targets would limit the impact on the person. Not to mention this would only work on an adult male unless Jaffar adapted it. Plus he relies on the adult male being as tall or shorter than his height just shy of six feet.

What III doesn't know if of course that he can adapt it, but still. It also seems like it might be impractical to use in actual battle, given the feint it requires to start off. Like it might only work his instant-kill rate 10% of the time with full fatal power. Maybe 40% of the time non-fatally]

[taintedruby]

[Good stuff. Which is why he's going to totally going to just go with his normal techniques here]

[needslovelyitem]

[Mori watches quietly, like so many others. He's pretty sure he couldn't learn to use such a technique, but there is the possibility of Honey learning it. He'll have to watch very carefully to judge and perhaps tell Honey about it. He's also trying to figure out if this would be a good person to spar against. The guy wasn't too terrible when Mori was forced to go out and make friends.]

[taintedruby]

[You keep doing that man. You might see that this is supposed to kill the other person, and not really leave a quarter for them to, well, live. Aside from it's possible failings, as described in the Xaldin thread]

[needslovelyitem]

[There can always be modifications to the attack so Mitsukuni would not necessarily kill a person. Both boys already know several attacks like that. Either way, it's worth learning. It is a rather fancy attack though and that makes it much easier for something to go wrong.]

[taintedruby]

[Yerp. Though this intense of look can result in him being on edge. One more movement of it... and then he stops, and turns to look at his watcher there]
