Weapons Handling Training

[spandexisyouth]

[Rumor has it these guys really know how to handle others. Weapons. Rumor totally meant weapons.]

[Open]

[sayatakagi]

[she is a weapon, but it doesn't hurt to know more. She approaches, hoping to find someone to teach her how to use a sword.]

[Open]

[weaponry]

[ Tenten sits happily behind multiple tables surrounding her. Her smile is bright, earnest and very inviting. Behind her, there's a target with the bullseye hit multiple times with a needle. Tenten's bright smile eventually breaks as she calls out to aid Saya. ]

Hello! Is there anything I can help you with?

[sayatakagi]

[Saya waits for Tenten to notice her, and when she does, the girl comes closer]

Yes. I want to learn how to use a sword.

[weaponry]

That's a really broad request! [ Tenten laughs as she points to one end of the table. There, there is just about every type of sword lined up in some never-ending weapon parade. ] Any specifics on what you want to wield? Katana? Broadsword? Wazashi? Tanto? [ She'll just continue to list sword specifics until Saya speaks up. ]

[sayatakagi]

... I don't really know. I've never held a sword in my life, so I don't know which one would fit me best.

[she takes a moment to think] I suppose katana. My father was a master with those.

[weaponry]

A katana, huh? [ She takes a moment to look at Saya's hands before drifting over to the katana section. After looking around for a bit, she selects a katana with a flower-shaped tsuba. The handle has a series of purple and green stripes. ]

All right. Try seeing if this is good enough for you to wield. If you need something short or longer, just say so.

[Yugo] [Open]

[portalist]

[He's never really had the need for weapons back at home. Then again, he had portals to help him. He still has his portals here, but they aren't as powerful enough for him to wave off the need for fighting skills.

So he's standing a little to the side and watching, wondering what he should start with. There's so much to work with... where in the world does he start?]

[weaponry]

[ Tenten notices his confusion. It's not hard when you're sitting behind the tables of weapons he's looking at. She responds accordingly. She gingerly folds her hands on the table as she calls out for Yugo's attention. ]

Hey. Do you need any help? Or do you know what Weapon you want to use for training?

[portalist]

[He looks over her way and sheepishly smiles.]

Yeah! I've actually never fought with a weapon before, so I thought I could learn how to here. Do you know a good weapon for a beginner?

[weaponry]

Well, it depends on your strengths and weaknesses. Do you prefer to fight directly face to face, or would you prefer more long range alternatives? [ She doesn't think a kid would want to tangle in physical combat with someone much older. His sheepishness has her a little concerned if he were to gun for more front-lined oriented weapons. ]

[portalist]

I've always been quick on my feet. And I like to fight my enemies directly. I've never tried a bow or anything like that. [He never had to--most enemies just attacked him straight-up.]

[weaponry]

Oh! What a surprise! You seemed more like the fight from afar type! [ She giggles. ] Hm. Would you prefer a weapon that has a reach?

[open open open open]

[weaponry]

[ Tenten is kicking back with a smile on her face. Her joy is practically radiated from the table full of weapons in front of her. She watches and if you even take a glance at the weapons in front of her, which range from the long range throwing knives to the close range swords, to the bows and arrows to the staffs to the pikes to the chained and soft weapons to the whips to the yo-yos (?!), she'll stop to talk to you. ]

Hey! Do you want to learn how to use another weapon today?! It's never too late to learn!

[ Those particularly observant towards target like colors can notice that there's a target behind her with the bullseye already hit with a small needle. ]

[frogs]

[As promised, Jade is there. She's a bit overwhelmed by it all but she's also fascinated. She definitely wants to explore more and maybe hit up different areas, but for now Tenten is her first stop. She beams and bounces over, eyes immediately drawn to all the weapons on display.]

Wow... Oh, hi. You're Tenten, right?

[weaponry]

[ Jade is a familiar sight to Tenten. The overstimulation she has currently, isn't. Tenten briefly wonders on how the shoe is now on the other foot. Jade used to show Tenten around and helped her get acquainted to her surroundings, and now Tenten would be doing the same with Jade. ] That's right! I'm Tenten! It's nice to see you again in person, Jade! Take a look around and let me know if there's a weapon you'd like to learn first and foremost.

[frogs]

[Jade is none the wiser to this fact though she is definitely feeling a little bit of pressure to learn the ropes around here quickly. So many people seem to know and depend on her here.

She brightens at Tenten's remark.] Thanks... How about a short ranged weapon first? Like a blade or something?

[weaponry]

[ Tenten's smile has a very welcoming factor to it. ]

All right! [ She pulls out one shiny scimitar and hands it to Jade. She'll notice the handle is green, and, if Jade can read japanese, that her name is written on it in katakana. ]

We were working on a scimitar before you left. This should fit you, since it was the one you used.

[scatterflower]

Sure, why not?

*Chika giggled, slipping over next to Tenten with a wide smile on her face.*

You know, I still can't get used to seeing yo-yos as weapons.

[weaponry]

[ She giggles as she looks at the yo-yo and picks one up. ] They're some sort of toy? Right? I was confused at first, but, my research showed that they were actually created as weapons for certain tribes. Anyways, what brings you here, Chika?

[scatterflower]

Really? That's pretty interesting. Though I think those one's might not be all that useful as actual weapons.

... Then again, most of the weapons wouldn't be useful as actual weapons here.

*She blinks. Oh, Tenten asked her a question.*

No reason really. Just training, you know? After all, we have been working on my dodging a lot.

[weaponry]

Well, I guess it has its uses though. I mean, I can see myself winning a couple of fights or two with it.

[ She giggles. ] You never know! You might be able to find people that wield yo-yos in all seriousness! [ She looks at Chika with a focused interest. ] Oh? You have!? We haven't been practicing evasive maneuvers against projectiles in a while though! I'm proud you were able to practice on your own, Chika.

[scatterflower]

Yeah, but you're a weapon specialist who's been training with every weapon for what seems like your whole life. It wouldn't surprise me if you could use a toothbrush as one.

*She smiles.*

Yeah, I have. I figured it wouldn't be smart to just... stop because we've both been busy and haven't had time to practice together.

[Open like whoa]

[recitings]

[While Tenten was happily sitting behind her table, Genesis was spending just a little more time testing out some of the items ready for training. He still hasn't gotten over a few very recent events, so he has a bit of a sullen air about him.

Today, he has a very large great sword with him with a blade that resembles a cleaver. Looks a bit close to the Buster in terms of heft and size, but the thin blade makes it lighter. He's trying to see if he can handle it with ease, out of sheer curiosity.

But anyone can still approach him and ask him about weapons handling. Swords are his favorite things.]

[Open for Instruction]

[ghostofaqueen]

[Sarah is mostly intent on sharpening her considerable arsenal of knives, which are stored in various places on her person. She brought her rifle as well, just in case someone wanted to practice dodging bullets.

While her attention is on the stone and blade in hand, she is paying very close attention to anyone that stops by.]
