There ain't no fear, there ain't no hope
Who: Ginia Solana (whiskytraitorfirefight, Hatake Kakashi (ura_no_ura), OPEN to spectators
What: Sparring and feeling out skills
When: 8 AM, Monday 02/10
Where: The Battle Dome
Summary: Ginia agrees to spar with Kakashi so he can gauge her skills.
Rating: PG-13 (Violence, language)
[As agreed, Ginia is in the lobby of the Battle Dome a few minutes before eight AM. She stretches lightly and paces around the room, limbering up and focusing. Should set up a room or was that something he wanted to do? She mulls lightly over before leaving the room to his decision.
Her mind is focused, but she's leery. She knows this is a test, that all she can do is show what she knows, and everything else falls into place. It's not a matter of how good a fighter he is, it's all insignificant. It still feels like she's walking into a trap.]

The simulation will end if all enemies on the board are wiped out, and Kakashi doesn't see why it'd be difficult for him to make that happen, especially with just how low level they really are. ]
Alright. I can provide a demonstration.
[ He doesn't ask for his water back, letting her keep it, as he looks out over the rooftop, to the nearby park, which is open terrain. ]
I have one question though.
[ A pause. ]
What is a "land mine"?
[ He'd noticed that she'd programmed those in. Luckily, he's avoided any traps, mostly due to the fact that he's largely stuck to rooftops and vertical walls this entire time. But if he's to take out the remainder of the simulated enemy force, he needs to have a better idea of exactly what he's dealing with.
Since he knows she doesn't have the device she usually writes on with her, he takes out his journal and a pen from his utility pouch and hands it to her, so they can communicate. ]
no subject
Explosive that detonates via pressure plate on the top. Highly sensitive, doesn't take too much to set them off.]
1/2
Especially because it has absolutely no cover.
Which is most likely about to change. ]
Alright, stay up here. I'll take care of clearing them out.
[ And then he heads to the edge of the building and jumps down, landing with a thump on the top of a car, and then heads straight for the park. ]
no subject
Doton Doryuuheki!
[ A thick wall of earth rises from the ground, and in the process, land mines across the park begin exploding from the violent quakes, one after the other in a chain that sends dirt and debris flying everywhere. Kakashi, however, is relatively safe, protected by the wall.
He's also quite certain that this much noise will attract the mercenaries, which is exactly what he wants. ]
no subject
She watches with uneasy awe as the earth moves, rising and shaking, the boom of mines echoing, the large wall protecting him. Whoever is left in the simulation will begin to converge on his location just as they did earlier when she set off the car alarms.
Her hand touches her neck.]
no subject
Mercenary groups shout as they begin to creep in slowly, from the north, south, and east, carefully trying to flank the wall Kakashi'd created. For a long moment, nothing happens.
Then, out of nowhere, the ground breaks open, and Kakashi comes bursting out of the ground with a kunai, jamming it right through the base of a mercenary's chin. In a blur of motion, he grabs hold of two of the mercenaries closest to him, spinning them around as a shield as the group north of him begin to fire, the group to the east breaking into a formation at the corner of his eye. Dragging the bodies back with him to the wall, he ducks behind it and drops the men he'd been using as a shield, hands flying through seals in a blur, forming the seals for katon.
When he re-emerges, he takes a deep breath. ]
Katon Goukyakku no Jutsu!
[ And with that, a massive fireball explodes before him as he breathes fire out, growing in size and intensity as it rolls towards the group of men. ]
no subject
When the fireball bursts out, Ginia's breath catches. Her chest tightens and she backs away from the edge of the building, forcing herself to look away. Her hands tighten, her knuckles white as she grips the flask. It's not as bad being on the ground, an explosion going off next to her, but it's still something she can't watch either.]
1/2
He dives towards the large fountain and lands on the surface of the water, then begins forming another series of seals. There isn't a lot of water to work with here, and it isn't nearly as good as a river, but he should still be able to use it for his own purposes. ]
Suiton! Suiryuudan no Jutsu!
[ A dragon rises out of the water, twisting and turning some thirty feet high -- not nearly as high as it normally would've grown to, if Kakashi had more water to work with. But then it crashes down in a violent tidal wave towards the last group of men, flooding the field in the process.
Anyone else standing on the field is most likely a little wet now. ]
no subject
[ Lightning sparks alive in his right hand at that very moment, and Kakashi jumps down onto the patch of land before him and sends his hand down at the large puddle of water, effectively electrocuting the mercenaries standing in inches of water.
And then, in a blur, he's moving straight towards the ones who managed to escape that first round of electrocution, cutting them down one by one until he's the last one standing on the field. ]
no subject
The crackling of electricity, the flash of light, death comes quickly to everyone left in the water, the remainder swiftly cut down.
And he's an ally. It's something Ginia forces herself to remember, all while thinking it's only a matter of time before alliances crumble. And suppose there's the wrong shift and he turns on the village. What then? Certainly there are stronger people, but if they turn?
But at least he's an ally for now. At least someone she wants to stay on the good side of.
With the last mercenary dead, the simulation flicks briefly, then ends. They find themselves back in an empty steel room, both safely on the ground. Ginia looks over to where her cellphone is and picks it up, briefly aware from the dull throb of her arm the bandage around her arm is gone.
...There's a lot to think on. Ginia's still not sure where to begin.]
1/2
If the simulation's revealed anything, it's that while Ginia is resourceful, intelligent, strategic, and adapts on the fly to the situations she finds herself in, against much more powerful opponents, she has her limitations. Her taijutsu, while most likely effective against the average soldier from her world, can't really measure up against the sort of fighting style from worlds like Kakashi's. And when they're up against a much powerful enemy, it's clear that she'll need a lot more training, which he thinks he should be able to provide.
If she can learn how to use ninja weapons and tactics, too, that would most likely help her as well.
Kakashi pauses to pick up kunai and shuriken scattered on the floor, then continues walking over to her. ]
no subject
[ Asked as he closes the distance between them. He can see that she's bleeding a bit from where one of his shuriken had grazed her earlier, and reaches into his utility pouch to pull out a roll of gauze. ]
no subject
Honestly, it's a lie. She's frazzled and sore and self-loathing cuts deeper than any knife. But she'll pull herself together enough.
Her thumb moves over the screen of her phone as she types out a message.]
Your assessment?
no subject
I think you have good instincts and potential.
[ He begins by means of assessment, pressing gauze down against the oozing wound, then running the roll of gauze around. ]
You're strategic, resourceful, and think well on your feet. Against people from your own world, you're probably quite formidable.
[ He pulls out a kunai once he's finished wrapping her arm and cuts the gauze, then ties the loose end, tucking it in place. ]
But I think it could help you to train in ninja arts, especially taijutsu, which is hand to hand combat, as well as other ninja techniques, which could probably give you more of an advantage on the battlefield. Especially if you're up against someone more powerful and experienced.
no subject
I should be dead. It's the thought that keeps coming back. Not just in the training session, but because she is dead. She made her choices, she died. She shouldn't have a second chance.
...But she takes what she can get. Always has.]
Do you have recommendations on who I should train with?
no subject
[ Kakashi tucks the roll of gauze away. ]
He's a very capable taijutsu fighter.
[ And then Kakashi pauses here as he looks her over. ]
I could also introduce you to my students. They're all immensely powerful in their own right, but they might be open to giving you advice and helping you train, especially Naruto.
no subject
Whatever you think is most suitable.
[A pause before she quickly adds on:]
thank you.
no subject
You're welcome. It was a good session.
[ He reaches out and gives her shoulder a bit of a squeeze. ]
Anyway, whatever you do, don't let Lee talk you into wearing his green spandex thing. He's going to tell you it's for the power of youth and that you won't be able to reach your full potential without it or something along those lines, but take it with a grain of salt.
no subject
I'll keep that in mind. Can't say I'd look good in spandex either.
[...Actually, with her frame, she'd look pretty good in a spandex body suit.]
no subject
Kakashi knows that Ginia has quite a lot to work on. And if there's anything their session revealed, it's that she has quite a huge weakness which will need to be addressed. He'll probably bring it up at a later time, maybe over a drink, because that's definitely a huge liability and a hurdle she'll have to overcome.
He gives her a nod, then glances behind him at the empty room, and the weapons scattered everywhere. ]
I'm going to stay behind and pick up my weapons.
[ He gestures at the rest of the shuriken and kunai littering the ground. ]
I'll catch up with you later?
no subject
She nods and waves. First things first, a visit to the Battle Dome clinic to get the arm looked at and some healing done.
And after that? ...Well, she'll get there when she gets there.]
