I'm sure this request is no more odd than any other that's graced the network so far, but I'm in want of a sparring partner or two. If we're to end up in a Fissure more dangerous than the last, I would want to be able to stand on my own and it's easier to train alongside your comrades.

If anyone is interested, feel free to approach me at any time.

If anyone is also interested in learning how to cook without burning the kitchen down or ruining it, feel free to approach me as well. The smell of burning...whatever it may be lingers, and it's no trouble to cook for others if need be or lend some guidance.

Sparring, huh?

I wouldn't mind learning a thing or two from you.

un: specs

[promittere]

I'm not sure how much I can teach, unless you're interested in knife tricks.

[matchmakes]

I can at least make soup without screwing up too badly, but I wouldn't be opposed to learning how to cook more than that.

un: specs

[promittere]

[He's not going to be petty enough to say something along the lines of "that seems better than what most people here can do" but boy is he feeling it.]

Is there anything in particular you want to learn? Or any dish you miss from home you would want to recreate?

i'd like to, if you'll allow it.

sparring, i mean--i'm starting to get a fair handle on cooking by now, but i've only spent a little over a year in this body and i still need practice.

[promittere]

I see no reason not to with the two of us on a more even playing field.

I hope your diet is more balanced than Noct's is. I've heard some stories.

I spar with Undyne and Heart sometimes. If you want to join us I can't imagine either of them would be against it.

un: specs

[promittere]

I'm unfamiliar with Undyne and only passingly familiar with Heart, but I wouldn't mind joining if that's truly okay. You'll have to forgive me if I bring others in with me.

[He can't imagine Noct and Prompto letting him join Fight Club alone.]

[blackestwitch]

You're going to try fighting?

un: specs

[promittere]

Getting back into fighting form, more like. I've been slacking with the relative peace here.

un: daybreak

[hairpincurves]

I'm definitely up for sparring sometime. Although, admittedly, I've still got a way to go, skill-wise...

Also, while I'm fairly confident in my kitchen skills, perhaps I could trouble you to swap recipes sometime?

un: specs

[promittere]

That's the whole point to all of this. I'm unsure how my own skill has suffered here, but there's no shame in being a beginner.

I wouldn't mind at all! Though you might need to write them down yourself.

UN: Thunderboy

[superstylishsquid]

I know my way around a kitchen, but I wouldn't mind a sparring partner...if you think you can keep up with a guy who has 'Blademaster' as one of his titles.

I mean, Ardyn and some of the others do some sparring with my uhhhh fairly still newly-found abilities, and that could use a hell of a lot of work, but also if you just wanna punch and kick and the usual kind of fighting, I'm down? This place could use a gym. Why isn't there ever a gym? Fuckin' mall ended up having a gym.

Cooking, though, that's uh...hm. That's sure a thing I haven't managed yet. I can brew coffee, mix drinks, sure, but cooking? Is uh. No. So if anyone can actually teach me besides Yuuri, that would be genuinely astonishing at this point.

voice; specs

[promittere]

A gym might appear at some point - I wouldn't count the option out yet. Any kind of fighting would be fine with me, though I'm not as gifted at pure hand-to-hand.


[He, at the very least, sounds amused.]

There's no harm in trying, if you're willing to listen. You can't be any worse than some of the people here.

[founderinglight]

Consider me available any time I'm awake. It's the least I can do, having scavenged a few of your tricks myself.

text; specs

[promittere]

I'll keep an eye on your schedule. Perhaps you could teach me more about those water crystals you've found as well?

un: foxtales

[byanyother_name]

I'm generally willing to provide a sparring partner. I enjoy testing myself against new opponents.

Thankfully, I'm already one of the stations competent cooks, though I wouldn't be averse to picking up new recipes.

un: specs

[promittere]

I'd be glad to see how I stack up.

Any sort of recipe you'd be after in particular? I could use the practice translating Eosian recipes to use the ingredients found within the Station.

un: bunbunmaru

[bulletnews]

Sure, I could use a good duel. It's been a while, and I don't want to be left with nothing but bluster.

un: specs

[promittere]

As long as you can forgive my own rustiness, a duel would be much appreciated.

[And, you know, you aren't put off fighting a blind man. That'd be disappointing.]

un: avatarkorra

[temperedavatar]

I would love a good sparring partner. Sign me up! I'm curious to see how others approach combat here anyway.

un: specs

[promittere]

You might be interested in this club some of the others have set up, if it's variety you're after.

Which is of course to say I'll be taking part in that as well.

un: molochst

[newlawtolight]

I am willing, if you'd like. I could use some practice myself.

un: specs

[promittere]

Of course. The more the merrier, after all.

User: have_hat_will_travel

[have_hat_will_travel]

I like this idea, honestly. I'm... Concerned about the possibility of another creature like that Siren showing up, so knowing how to best others who may be controlled - and knowing I can be bested in turn - would be a comfort.

un: specs

[promittere]

[That's not something he was necessarily considering, but it's a good thing to keep in mind. All the more reason to train alongside as many people as possible.]

While I would hope the Siren is a one off, it would be foolish to assume so. We don't know what is possible in each Fissure, so I'm hoping we can all find our foils.

o)+ I'm fairLy comPetent with ALternian cuisine, but that's mostLy invertebrates and I'm stiLL not sure what I'm doing with the fish or game.

[promittere]

[The context of the text isn't confusing, except for the fact the message starts with "symbolic preface". It takes him a moment to figure out that's not actually part of what's being said, but just a moment.]

A lot of fish can be safely eaten raw, at least, so that might be a good place to start if you're worried about improper cooking techniques.

A few other meats can be, but I'm not quite sure what the quality available is like.

un: ravusnoxfleuret

[giltfoil]

I would be amenable to a more formalized encounter than our last.

That is, if you know where I might acquire a suitable weapon. My own sword was confiscated upon my arrest.

elevencrows

[founderinglight]

I have a spare you can borrow. Rapier, bit lighter than you're used to, but should serve well enough.

[Assuming Ravus can, you know, deal with that.]

un: darkwings

[thoroff]

Mark me down as another who'd be up for a spar sometime.

I'd also be interested in cooking lessons, but I'm afraid I'm something of a lost cause on that front...

un: specs

[promittere]

[His list is getting so long. He is getting more and more powerful.]

I'm sure you're not as terrible as you believe you are, unless you happen to be the one responsible for that dreadful curry.

I believe curry was the intent, at any rate.

[coagmentatio]

I can help with training, in exchange for some cooking tips.

un: specs

[promittere]

Seems a fair trade to me.

How much do you already know?

[Does he mean with cooking, or does he mean what can Aiden teach him? Anything is possible.]
