Third Case

[am177.livejournal.com]

Having seen the various recruits wandering around here, and having seen the kinds of jobs we are going to have to do, I have decided that it would be in the best interest of some of you if you would join me out on the grounds to learn the bare bones of how to defend yourself. I understand Enforcer Tarask is a soldier, and that's all well and good, but lets just say that Soldiers and Watchmen have different ways of fighting, and it could do you nothing but good to approach the art of beating another man senseless from multiple angles.

[Kaito headed out to the ground]

Hello Vimes-san. I want to learn how to fight a little.

[am177.livejournal.com]

Good man, good man. And none of this "Vimes-San" business. To you I'm Enforcer, Enforcer Vimes, or Sir. If I'm in a good mood, you can also get away with just Vimes.

The rest of you lot pay attention, this fine agent and I are going to explore the oldest art form of humankind, then once we have gone through some basics I will address each of you and your own gaping inadequacies.

What's your name, son?

[icecreamai.livejournal.com]

Uh, Yes, Sir.

My name is Kaito.

[am177.livejournal.com]

Right then, Agent Kaito. Have you ever been in a fight?

[sossanity.livejournal.com]

What a pain... but I guess if I'm going to be stuck doing this sort of thing, it wouldn't hurt to learn a thing or two.

[am177.livejournal.com]

Ever had to fight for your life before?

[sossanity.livejournal.com]

[HELL. YES.]

Not really.

[am177.livejournal.com]

What about fights when you were a kid? Hell, he still IS a kid. I'm getting old.

W-well, I've been able to fight alright on missions, but I don't know how much of that is just my "powers" from RyuKoOh transferring. I've never actually had any hand-to-hand training...

[am177.livejournal.com]

High time, then. Who's Ryoo koh oh?

[soylent-genki.livejournal.com]

RyuKoOh is my...well, they're...hard to explain, but if you know what mecha are, let's just say RyuKoOh is the one I pilot. Things you can pilot apparently become abilities like magic in other words, and your piloting skill becomes regular fighting talent, so I've been able to take care of myself on missions. Um, m-mostly.

Still, i-it'd probably be a good idea to be able to defend myself when I don't really have any "abilities". Like here, for example...

[am177.livejournal.com]

I got about half of that, but it comes down to you being able to cast spells, right?

[nowheresman.livejournal.com]

Now this is exciting.

[am177.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. You ever been wrestling with a man with a knife in a gutter? It's VERY exciting.

[nowheresman.livejournal.com]

I-I only see that in cop movies! Do you sail through the air, shouting and firing off two pistols at once too?!

[moemoebeam.livejournal.com]

W-well, if you think it would be a good idea...

[am177.livejournal.com]

It never hurts to have an idea of what to do if some bloke wants to smash your skull in.

[moemoebeam.livejournal.com]

[Her eyes go a little wide.]

S... smash my skull in?

[bravegreen.livejournal.com]

B-beating a man senseless?

[am177.livejournal.com]

Such skills always come in handy eventually.

[whitexserenity.livejournal.com]

[All ready as Princess Sailor Moon, Serenity is ready to go even though this can only end in tears once she trips over her own feet]

Bring it on, I'm ready!

[am177.livejournal.com]

Okay then, lesson one, if you can possibly avoid it, don't go to a fight dressed like... like that.

[whitexserenity.livejournal.com]

Like...this? [Blinks, clueless on why a short skirt and boots with glass heels aren't practical.]

But this is my senshi outfit...

[kyonko-narrates.livejournal.com]

'If I'm going to do this....'

I guess it can't hurt?

[am177.livejournal.com]

Certainly can't hurt as much as being in a fight and not knowing what to do.
