[With the weather being what it is, Raidou has been forced to ditch his usual black cape. Most of the time you can see him sparring with a katana or, when he's taking a break, sit on the grass.

Talk with him? Ask for a sparring match?]

[scatterflower]

[Okay, you know what, Chika really needed to practice against more people. Especially not that Tenten wasn't around to teach her how to use weapons and stuff.

Considering that Zero was a beam saber, well, sparring against someone who knew how to use a sword was definitely a good idea.

And lookie! There's one who knows how to use a sword right there!

So Chika goes up to Raidou with a smile.]

Umm... hi there? You wouldn't happen to mind sparring, right?

[timelessummoner]

Not at all... Chika-san, correct?

[He's seen her around SEES and at Naoto's birthday party, but never talked to her before. This is as good time as any to fix that.]

[scatterflower]

[Chika smiles.]

Yeah. I'm sorry I haven't spoken to you much before... Raidou-san? Did I get that right?

[Considering that he was with SEES and knew Naoto, Chika really should've done this introduction before now. Oops.]

[timelessummoner]

[He nods.] It is quite alright. I have not been as active as I should.

[Agency work can be time-consuming.]

Now, you wished to spar?

[scatterflower]

[Chika nods.] Okay. We'll just need to make up for lost time then, I guess.

[She grips her practice sword.]

Yeah. I mean, I need to get better at using a sword, since my partner is one. Kinda, anyway. He's a bit different, but still, this is the closet way I have to learning how to use him without practicing while wielding him all the time.

[She moves to sink down into a fighting stance.]

Just... don't go easy on me. I'm not going to get much better if I'm not forced to give it my all.

[timelessummoner]

Understood. Then I shall not hold back.

[Raidou takes a stance with his own practice sword. Depending on how good she is, this may end up being painful; he has years of experience behind him and doesn't believe in coddling trainees.]

Do you have previous battle experience?

[scatterflower]

[Chika nods.]

Yeah. I have some. It's mostly all been here though.

[Except for one time back home. But well... yeah.]

Mostly missions and whenever we get attacked by whatever decides to attack us though.

[timelessummoner]

Very well. Let's have a match and see what you need to improve on.

[Hope you have good reflexes Chika, because Raidou is moving in!]

[scatterflower]

[Well, she's not dead yet, so she has to have some decent reflexes.

That said, her eyes widen just a bit when she sees Raidou moving in like that, though she's getting ready to block whatever strike he ends up doing.]

[timelessummoner]

[Good, she can at least defend well. Raidou is going to push her harder to see how well she deals with quick, consecutive attacks.]

[draculabackwards]

*Because of the high temperatures, Alucard has abandoned his Victorian clothing for very modern ones. Namely a T-shirt and some loose track pants to train in. He stops practicing punches for a while to wander back to his partner.*

I am certain our mission tomorrow will be successful.

[timelessummoner]

We have made progress, at least. [Their last one had a rather terrible end, at least they had completed the mission.

...While Raidou doesn't have his cape, he does still have the rest of his uniform on. He's not sweating at all, nope.]

[draculabackwards]

*Indeed. That was a mission they'd like to forget.*

I think it will be better. No, I know it will be better.

[timelessummoner]

[Raidou smiles slightly. It's good to know Alucard is feeling confident.]

Yes... It will.

[draculabackwards]

How are you not warm in what you are wearing?

[timelessummoner]

...It is a little warm.

[But... Proper uniform...]

[draculabackwards]

Why don't you opt for a special lighter uniform when we practice?

[timelessummoner]

Perhaps I should, but with weather like this... Any uniform will likely be too warm.

[draculabackwards]

Hmmm. Perhaps if for the summer you didn't wear a uniform with dark colors? *HYPOCRITE*

[vintage_magic]

[It's been a while since Lily last spoke to Raidou, not since the carnival so when she spotted him sitting on the grass, she made her way over, a rolled up garden hose tucked under her arm.]

Good morning, Raidou. I hope that mission a couple of weeks ago went well? [She had stopped by the Agency the day before the shop opened but he had been out of the office and Alucard mentioned they were going out on a mission the next day. She asked Raidou's partner to pass on a message about the opening party but assumed the two had been too tired to attend after the mission when they didn't appear.]

[timelessummoner]

Good morning, Ivory-san. Yes, we have had more successful missions recently. [Even if the last one was... problematic.]

Apologies. I meant to congratulate you on your store opening, but with everything else going on...

[vintage_magic]

It's alright. Sounds like you've been busy. So, you've been out to fight more than one demon recently?

[timelessummoner]

We defeated two a few days ago, and three last week. Hopefully we can keep up the pace.

[vintage_magic]

[She would have said it was a lot but it was about as much as she had fought in the past week in a half. At least, in San Francisco, she tended to have a few weeks between cases.]

There's certainly no shortage of demons in this world, is there? I take it you and your partner go out on those missions regularly then.
