[werepanther]

Back to the wonderful World of Warcraft that's Garden! We sure had a crazy break, didn't we? I'm glad that's over with; no offense, guys, but I'm not a great babysitter and I'm sure everyone's glad to be back to their normal selves.

That being said, hi! Name's Tom Bronson; I'll be your Boxing instructor this Quarter. If you have any questions - or want to spar with me, that's cool too - I'll be out in the Quad during lunch or in my classroom.

Good luck to everyone this Term. I'm sure you'll do great in your classes.

[Also: beware the tall werepanther wandering Garden today. He... has also neglected to inform everyone that their Boxing instructor is also a black humanoid cat, complete with long swishy tail that keeps knocking over books and plants and--- whoops, that was definitely a vase or two.

Feel free to run into him! He's certainly not bothering to hide his secret anymore.]

Yay! A fun class! I'm going to be your best student.

[Mikuru is wandering through Garden clutching a piece of paper when she spots the OMGWTF CAT?!

[Cue shrieking, dropping the paper, and running away, because Mikuru is wearing her Cadet uniform and is pretty damn helpless out of costume. Sorry, Tom.]

Nice to meet you Tom.

I might just retake the class if I have any credits left over.

I might just take you up on that offer. I'm more skilled with my sword than with my fists.

Hey!

[BBS]

[werepanther]

Is that so? I look forward to it, kiddo.

[... He really should've seen that coming. You'd think he'd learn after being here for a whole year. Tom awkwardly stretches a paw towards her.]

HEY! I'm not gonna hurt you, okay?

[BBS]

[werepanther]

Nice to meet you too, Marco!

Nah, it's completely fine. I'm totally up for teaching outside of class too; just come whenever and I can see if the previous teacher's been up to snuff.

That's what I'm here for. You were a swordsman back home? That's pretty cool.

[Tom looks up and waves back at Espio. Huh, okay... he can't say he's seen weirder, since uh. He is a werecat.]

Hey. [waves cheerfully] Where're you headed off to?

Re: [action]

Just the library - I gotta write up a giant essay for Martial Arts.

Haven't seen you around before. Pretty sure I'd remember.

[dangerousthings.livejournal.com]

Well, I already know how to fight and I'm learning the gunblade but this will be awesome.

~Luki

[fierybluebird]

Yeah sure! I think I should have some more free time this semester.

[BBS]

[werepanther]

Extra practice's always good. After all, what happens if someone manages to knock the gunblade out of your hand? [Tom knows that's unlikely, but still.] Then you'll at least know how to defend yourself with your fists.

[werepanther]

Nah, I just arrived. [He sheepishly shrugs] I know I'd be unmistakable around here.

Name's Tom Bronson. [he holds out a paw] I'm the new Boxing Instructor.

[BBS]

[werepanther]

Sounds like a plan! Just catch me whenever and we'll spar.

[action]

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Around here, sure. Back where I come from, though, you'd be just another face.

[] Boxing, huh? Haven't done that, but I'm already doing the advanced martial arts class anyway.

Espio.

[BBS]

[fierybluebird]

Excellent. I need to remember to focus more on fists than kicking anyway.

[BBS]

[dangerousthings.livejournal.com]

I have a good kick, too!

[werepanther]

That's also helpful! But not quite how you box. That'd be playing dirty.

[BBS]

[dangerousthings.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. I won't do that in boxing class then. I don't want to be mean to everybody else.

It gets easier with practice. The first time probably won't be so hot, but... the more you do it, the more natural it gets.

[action]

[werepanther]

Seriously? [That causes Tom to grin] I'm a little unusual, even for back home.

Try it sometime. It's actually kind of fun - and unlike the advanced classes, I don't give you homework or writing. [lets go of the handshake] But it's nice to meet you, Espio. I hope to see you around more often.

[werepanther]

Then what're you waiting for, man? Drop by whenever; I'm pretty sure I'll be around.
