week 2

[With the sudden pirate takeover and the sudden, tragic deaths of the crew, the second week of the Starfield Penitentiary rehabilitation project is off to a rough start. After Price's call for parlay with the pirate captain, he was not seen for the remainder of Saturday but around 10 pm it is his calm but tense voice that makes the time announcement.

Buckle in, Champions, things are about to get bumpy.]


Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday




[ooc: Don't forget to to turn in your AC for week 1 and submit your threads for the Benefactors!]

I'd be happy to.

[Off he goes into the kitchen, and comes back with like... six water bottles filled up.]

How many matches are you expecting?
goldrighthand: (there won't be a single thing you can do)

[personal profile] goldrighthand 2017-08-22 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[move a bit more, get the thingy over here, and- oh hey he's back.]

Hn. I would be happy with one, if the Huntress girl can find the strength. Or the King. The vampire girl has promised me a duel, as well, though I may have to track her down.

There are other fighters here as well. I would not stop them from taking advantage of this. [He gestures at the set-up] It would be a shame to have gone through all this for so little.
tenimuho: (it's you I chose)

[personal profile] tenimuho 2017-08-22 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope you get plenty of use out of it.

[He sets those bottles on a side table, before returning to the kitchen to fill up another six bottles and then deposit those on the same table.]

That's probably enough to start.
goldrighthand: (like a bird of doom)

[personal profile] goldrighthand 2017-08-22 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Assuming the worst, I have a plan.

[akande do u know how ominous that sounds

either way when Oda gets back he'll be warming up, going through some basic kata. He clearly knows what he's doing with them; the form is all but flawless]
tenimuho: (this small thing)

[personal profile] tenimuho 2017-08-22 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Is the plan 'drag someone into the ring and beat them up', Akande?

Oda takes a seat and watches Akande warm up for a while.]


You're very skilled with the form.
goldrighthand: (hey man you know)

[personal profile] goldrighthand 2017-08-22 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[threatening to kill someone usually gets SOME kind of response ok]

I [PUNCH] should hope so. Gidigbo is a specialty of mine-!
tenimuho: (the sadness grow from thoughts alone)

[personal profile] tenimuho 2017-08-22 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
It's very impressive. How long have you been practicing it for?

[He may not know gidigbo specifically, but he can tell someone who's skilled at the movements from someone who's relying on their extra muscle instead of properly performing the techniques.]
goldrighthand: (they're whispering his name)

vague hand gesture

[personal profile] goldrighthand 2017-08-22 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[PUNCH] Forty years.

[...he's forty-five.]
tenimuho: (the sadness grow from thoughts alone)

what's a canon backstory can you eat it

[personal profile] tenimuho 2017-08-22 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oda isn't very surprised by this number.]

That explains why you have the movements down so well.

[...he was an assassin at twelve-ish so he can totally believe Akande started practicing martial arts at five-ish.]
goldrighthand: (but hidden in his coat)

[personal profile] goldrighthand 2017-08-22 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
It was my first love. [He shifts forms, slightly; Dambe.] My truest passion. The way I feel most alive-!

[Another shift. This one's a completely different style; Taekwondo. He leaps in to the air with a spin-kick, managing a slightly awkward landing with a grunt. Turns out the mats are useful, whodathunk

muttering something in Yoruba, he straightens back up and starts that particular one over.]
tenimuho: ('cause even flowers wilt away)

[personal profile] tenimuho 2017-08-22 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I have to admit I'm a little envious.

[...Not of his skills, though they are formidable. Just of having something to call a passion from that early on.]
goldrighthand: (there won't be a single thing you can do)

[personal profile] goldrighthand 2017-08-22 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[aaand THERE WE GO, that's what he was trying to do. Akande sticks the landing this time, continuing a few more strikes before holding the kick, balancing on a single foot]

...perhaps if you put in four decades of work, you could achieve it.
tenimuho: (so it ends no clarity)

[personal profile] tenimuho 2017-08-22 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh - no, I didn't mean envious of your skill level, even though it is very impressive.

[Because seriously, who wouldn't be impressed?]

I meant envious that you had something to be passionate about that early.
goldrighthand: (comes a tall handsome man)

[personal profile] goldrighthand 2017-08-22 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah. That, he can get, especially taking previous conversations in to account.]

It took you some time, didn't it.

[What with. Not finding it until he stopped being an assassin.]
tenimuho: (so it ends no clarity)

[personal profile] tenimuho 2017-08-22 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. ...I try not to think about 'what if' very much, since I can't change any of it now.

[But it would have been better if he'd had something to work towards. Anything that wasn't just survival.]
goldrighthand: (it took you a lifetime to destroy)

[personal profile] goldrighthand 2017-08-23 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[and finally, he lowers the leg. Slowly, controlled]

If you could, what would you have had it be?
tenimuho: (we feel so free)

[personal profile] tenimuho 2017-08-23 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
If I could... I would have liked to be a writer.

...Though that doesn't really put food on the table, so I would have had to find some other way to survive. But not as an assassin.
goldrighthand: (heal your shrinking soul)

[personal profile] goldrighthand 2017-08-24 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Writing is a rather large field. Any particular type?
tenimuho: (so it ends no clarity)

[personal profile] tenimuho 2017-08-24 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Novelist. I want to write about people's lives.
