Training Montage Time!

[needsteaplz.livejournal.com]

WHO: Saori Nakagawa and you [OPEN]

WHEN: August 22nd, Dark Hour

WHAT: Training Time

WHERE: City Streets

WHY: Because someone needs to minor in fighting and quickly

WARNINGS: PG-13 to R, due to violence



If her first fight with the Shadows wasn't her wake up call, that battle during the full moon was. That was the time she couldn't rely on her Persona, Brigid's strength to protect her. Having no combat experience before arriving in Prospero, she knew she had to quickly pick up on some fighting techniques if she was going to survive. After all, she had no intentions of dying again. Not to mention, she didn't want to be a hinderance to anyone during the Dark Hour and would feel guilty if someone got injured because of her.


Problem was picking out who would be the best to train her. She did promise Asuka that she'd train with her since the last time they met was during the full moon battle. At the same time, she made a deal of sorts with Klaus in training. She had to admit fending for herself with a baseball bat was rather thrilling, but she would have to pick up a more legtimate weapon soon. After all, those Mayas were just the small fry and if  more powerful Shadows did appear, she'd be out of luck.

"You worry too much. Honestly, I did something like this for a living back home," Asuka says, ignoring the aches of accumulated damage even harder now that Saori's getting into her business over it. She turns and walks off, light on her feet, but more alert this time.

"I hope you don't mind me asking but what kind of world do you live in where they're training kids in combat and the sort?" Saori may not be experienced in combat, but she knows when someone's trying to hide their injuries.

"Well, first the world ended, then I was born, and now we fight these big ugly things called Angels with big awesome things called Evangelions," Asuka says, summarizing the three most important points of history from her perspective. "I'm one of only three people in the world who can pilot an Evangelion. Since they run on a neural interface, part of my training is hand-to-hand and firearms combat that translates directly to being on foot."

"Ah, I see..." Still the idea of someone like Asuka's age to be piloting whatever Evangelions were just didn't seem right. "Maybe if there's time later, I'd like to ask more about your home world."

They eventually reach another area. Though it was starting to get close to the local hotel, it wasn't in any threat of danger. A few Shadows lurked about, maybe five or six of them total. "Guess we can start of here. If anything, there might back up Shadows nearby."

Asuka looks at the group of enemies, still smirking from the positive attention to her work and skills. She hefts her hatchet and moves to a calculated charging distance. She does not, however, rush right in this time.

"Right. Since you're the one training here, I'll let you go first this time. Show me what you can do and I'll finish things off before they can counterattack," she says, liking her own off-the-cuff plan.
