[ action - the quad ]

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

[ She's supposed to be in class.




Oops.

Oh well!

Instead, Kiden can be found the quad, enjoying the sun--yes, she actually does enjoy nice days!--and people watching. It's obvious by the constant twitching of her fingers that she's either bored or itching to be somewhere else.

She actually doesn't have a cigarette; instead, she has a large notepad open in her lap, but only half her attention is on it. In it are her WTR101 notes; it's the only class she won't skip and probably the only one she really cares about. Outlined inside are the properties of a variety of weapons, as well as sketches; they're not very good, having been made quickly, but they're clean...and noticeable.

Come bother her, she'll be grateful insult you, probably. Or find her later, if you're the instructors whose class she's skipping.... ]

[ She raises her hands as if to say 'wasn't me'. ]

Hey man, I just showed up, they practically made the schedule for me.

[ She's actually happy she doesn't have her schedule on her right now, so he has nothing to catch her out with. She opts for a diversion, holding up her WTR notes. ]

Quiz me on firearm parts? I think we have a test coming up.

[ Surprise surprise, she doesn't suck at it! ]

[fierybluebird]

Hm?? Oh... all right.

[Sits down cross-legged from her and takes the notes.] Geez, I'm rustier than I thought... All right, the muzzle is which part of a gun?

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

The business end. Where the bullet comes out.

[ C'mon, Marco, give her some tough ones! ]

[fierybluebird]

All right... what is the revolver and how does it differ from flame sabre?

[Attempting to combine FFVIII and One Piece things that Marco would even vaguely get... so hard.]

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

Uh...the Flame Saber has higher attack... [ Pauses. Thinks. ] It's red like the Shear Trigger but it has the Cutting Trigger's handle?

[ Pause. Sigh. ]

Totally fucked those up, didn't I. I always mix them up.

[fierybluebird]

Uh.... [Sifts through her notes. GDI, he doesn't use weapons. He'd take his own foot off... holding a sword thing with a wing please.]

I think it's the opposite yeah, but you caught it... so half points?

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

[ This is why Kiden has every intention of just taking up handguns and staying there. ]

Great, the only class I give a shit about and I'll probably fuck it up anyways. Why do I even bother...

[fierybluebird]

Oi, oi. I know for a fact that being able to use them on the field means far more than being able to ace the test, eh.

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

[ Congrats, Marco. Kiden now thinks you're Jewish, somehow. ]

Probably, but I still need to pass tests before I get there.

[fierybluebird]

[Lol Jewish? From the "oi"?]

You'll do fine, eh. So are you planning to specialize in guns or whatever?

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

[ From the oyyyyy. ]

I'm...thinking about it. It'll be useful to know.

[fierybluebird]

[He has been known to say "mazel tov" for weddings and other things so~ XD]

If you say so. I wasn't ever really one for weapons that didn't involve my feet.

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

[ Not helping your case, Marco. ]

Your...feet?

[fierybluebird]

I'm a martial arts specialist.

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

Oh? What kind do you do?

[ Not that Kiden knows much about martial arts, but she's curious. ]

1/2

[fierybluebird]

[Pause. What kind does he do? The weird flippy kicking kind. That has no name.]

[fierybluebird]

[Eh, fuck it.]

Phoenix style.

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

[ lmao, now she wants to know MOAR ]

Is that like, kung-fu?

[fierybluebird]

Less structured, a little more freestyle. [Since he knows of fishman karate styles.]

It's focused on acrobatics and using the height and momentum to add more force to the blows.

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

Height and momentum?

[ Looks up--way up--at him. ]

Doubt that'd work for me.

[fierybluebird]

As I said, it's a more acrobatic style.

[Steps back and does a free-standing backflip.]

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

[ She whistles admiratively. ]

Nice. How long did it take you to learn?

[fierybluebird]

God... It was a long time ago. I don't even remember.

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

Ha, you're not that old. Who taught you?

[fierybluebird]

[Oh, but he is.]

I learned on my own. [Rubs the back of his neck.]
