"buddy you're a boy make a big noise;"

[alloys]

Who: Tony, fight participants, medical aide, and whoever wants to come watch!
What: Fight club!
When: Thursday, February 9th
Where: The tunnels
Summary: Placing bets and taking swings.
Rating: PG-13?
Let's get ready to rumble, boys and girls! A few quick notes:

Double check the fight roster--I moved some things around, namely matching up Firo with Homura since their respective opponents weren't able to participate. Let me know if something is amiss!

Characters who are fighting will be told their opponent's name upon arrival, and fights will proceed in the order they appear on the roster up there. Let me know if you need to be moved around for whatever reason!

Tony and Shikamaru will be policing the fights for any funny business, but fights will end when one of the participants forfeits or gets knocked out cold. So your character can get bloodied, bludgeoned, and broken and keep going if they wish! Remember, there's no magic since this is in the tunnels, and there are no weapons allowed in the fights. Just your fists, elbows, et cetera.

And should they have some owwies that need attention, Adele, Katara, Luca and Ange will be on hand to provide medical assistance. What troopers.

Spectators can interact however and whenever they want, so feel free to start a new thread for your character who is watching!

Now have fun, and earn some radical new scars while you're at it!

[endgames]

That's a start.

...I think you're good as you are on strength though, personally.

[generalflirt]

I'm not as strong as someone like... ah, Temari-chan.

[endgames]

[Temari carries around a heavy-ass iron fan on her back all day - that's a given. 8|]

It's stupid to compare yourself to that. But if that's how you want to see things, you're not as clear-headed as she is in a fight either.

[generalflirt]

[Considering... point]

I can see that, yeah.

[endgames]

[He moves to get up now, legs sore from sitting for so long. He's a little slow about it - his side certainly thinks Masaomi's strength is impressive as is - but the movement is smooth.]

That's one of the things I figured you could work on, if you agreed to sparring sometimes. [Though it could help with the agility too.]</small.

[generalflirt]

[And now he makes note of Shikamaru's slowness. He was fixed up by Katara and so he was too but...]

Are you okay?

[endgames]

More or less.

[generalflirt]

You're slow.

[endgames]

Probably will be for a few days. I'm sore.

[generalflirt]

I thought Katara fixed you?

[endgames]

She did. Had two broken ribs - now they're just a little bruised. Like I asked.

[So healed, yes. Just not a hundred percent, as was his idea. This is all said very casually, as he steps around his journal, still on the floor.]

[generalflirt]

[Why. he narrows his eyes at that, not quite suspicious, but not quite... nngh the idea is weird to him. He understands the need for pain, but that was only because they had no means to dismiss it]

We should spar more, yeah. [A beat]

[It probably shows but] ...I've never really sparred though.

[endgames]

Heh, no kidding. [Standing opposite of him now.] Shinobi spars tend to be rougher... so there's that going for you at least. Still considered polite to hold off on breaking things, if only so we don't piss off all the medics we know.

It'll be a good way to work on your control too.

[generalflirt]

Ah, that's true.

[...He said no holds. He doesn't even think to apologize about the near-stomp] ...Control, huh?

[endgames]

Control's everything in a fight. It's one of those things that'll keep you from getting lead into a position where you smash your fist into a wall, instead of someone's face.

[generalflirt]

[He waves his hand, Man that hurts in memory]

I can see how that might help. If you ask me though, ah... that's more you.

[endgames]

It's something I'm good at, true. But you don't have to maneuver a situation like I do to get out of an obvious one.

[generalflirt]

Mmm. Alright.

[He'll tip the bowl up to slurp out the rest. when he's done, he smiles]

I'll look forward to it!

[endgames]

Heh. Wish I could say the same.

[He's going to get his ass handed to him plenty of times, he knows, before he starts improving. Bruises galore. Siiiigh, even though he's smiling.]

But I suppose it's what I get. I never cared about that stuff when I should have.

[generalflirt]

That was most of what I care about for a while. Soooo~ I'd say we're even.

[endgames]

Even and opposite. [He snaps his fingers, then reaches to pick up his bowl and the milk carton.] That's one way to look at it.

[Better than thinking of it as how much he has to do to catch up, in case he runs out of tricks and has to rely on his fists against a stronger opponent. In case Sasuke (or someone worse) makes a move and he has to react...

He doesn't know if he can rely on Naruto to handle it like he promised anymore. He doesn't know if he can count on Sakura and Ino to go through with it, or if things will even come to that. But there's no one else here to handle it--

who does that leave me with? Kiba, Shino, Tenten... Masaomi?

--so he needs to get stronger so he can stand a chance himself. And even if that threat is gone, even if this isn't home... not being in Konoha isn't an excuse to slack off, is it?]

[generalflirt]

Careful, you might make use sound like a couple.

[Whatever bro, whatever. He's going to go put his bowl in the sink and stuff now he's done]

[endgames]

[Snort. But fine, he will just stop talking then.

But then a sly smirk crosses his face when he sees what he's doing. Oh, dude, are you going to the kitchen too? In that case he will just drop his bowl on top of Masaomi's, because why make two trips, really?]

[generalflirt]

[ LOSER :I

But fine, he'll do it. But once he does it he's going out to do this and that things. Because we ought to finish this ancient thread]

[endgames]

[I think you mean WINNER.

But yup, pretty much. There's probably a thanks in there that's a little too cheeky, and then he's going off to do his own thing too and we were magically done.]
