Stress relief

[dothewave]

((Continuation of this thread))

[in a clearing not far away from the mafia cave! Yamamoto shrugs off the wrap on his shinai and changes it to a blade.]

Wanna warm up first?

You mean boring shit like stretching?

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

Hey, stretching is important.

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

You don't get time for that in a real fight.

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[laughs and pulls out his box, tossing it]

But this is training. Okay, how about just starting off easy?

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

[flames up his ring, considering his own set of boxes]

How easy?

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[slides his foot back, falling casually into a suddenly precise stance, also turning flame on]

We could feel it out.

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

Got it.

[keeps his stance pretty relaxed, just opening the box containing his skull weapon for now] I'll even let you make the first move.

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

Ha ha! Want me to set the pace?

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

Then. . . her I come!

[CHARGES \o/]

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

Idiot.

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

[lets see if you can keep charging in the face of a blast of RAIN COATED FLAMES]

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[haha no I think I'll have to JUMP that, rolling to the side and charging again, getting closer]

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

[there's a brief pause while he shifts flame types, then abruptly starts shooting cloud flames, making some effort at focusing them towards the ground to force Yamamoto back but. lol propagation makes focused aim pretty hard 8)]

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[I'LL BET]

Whup--

[staggers back and has to DUCK AND DODGE, but one inevitably aims right for his FACE. So he bites the bullet and squeezes the hilt of his sword to surge it full of blue energy, and slashes as hard as he can from the side to see if he can cut it like he'd cut a bullet]

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

[SOMEHOW, THAT WORKS. Probably because of your cheating neutralizing flames.]

You've gotta try harder than that to get me, sword idiot!

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[. . .grins]

Right.

[We're charging AGAIN]

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

[Back to rain type flames! Man I wonder how long this'll work for]

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[sry I couldn't see that past my BLOCKADE of rain-charged water, let's see what happens when they hit each other!]

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

[rain vs rain is pretty useless, and while the storm does eat through some of that cheating shield it's just NOT ENOUGH TO DEFEAT THE TRANQ FLAMES.]

--Damnit!

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[HMM, AND YAMAMOTO ISN'T THERE ANYMORE

BETTER LOOK ABOVE YOU]

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

[What?]

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

[--AHHHH DO A BARREL ROLL]

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[WHAM, slices a deep gouge in the ground when he lands, and quickly drags up the tip of his blade and throw a cutting-sharp slice of water in Gokudera's direction]

[tasteslikeash.livejournal.com]

[scrambles to one side when he spots the follow through coming, though that still leaves a good tear across the back of his shirt]

[lolmafialol.livejournal.com]

[straightens up, shaking out his wet hair]

Better?
