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.

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

[beguiledcard]

I'm always interested in learning new knife tricks.

[promittere]

Then I suppose we can start tomorrow, unless you have other plans?

[beguiledcard]

Tomorrow sounds perfect, actually! I'll just need to get someone to take care of Captain Kidd for me.

[promittere]

Excellent - I'll meet you on the beach.

[Captain...Kidd?? Unfortunately, he doesn't...actually know about that particular historical figure.]

Is Captain Kidd a pet?

[beguiledcard]

Does a little after lunch work for you?

[ A-ABOUT THAT........ ]

Yeah, something like that... I can't figure out what it actually is, but it's cute and it's yellow.

Captain Kidd was the name of my best friend's first Persona, back home, and he liked a lot of yellow, so...

[ Good job, Akira; now it sounds really fucking gay. ]

[promittere]

That works perfectly.

[That sounds...incredibly fucking gay. Super gay. Wow.]

And he was cute?

[beguiledcard]

[ ... Ignis plz.

Then again, Akira is just blunt enough and just shameless enough to outright respond with: ]

Very.

[promittere]

[What can he say? He's familiar with dark and handsomes being down to clown with adorable blonds.]

It's a shame he's not here to watch you spar.

[And with that, meet him on the beach for an asskicking. Or to kick his ass, who knows how the dice will shake out.]

-> action

[beguiledcard]

Knowing him, he'd be eager to join in.

[ He's already heading down there as he sends that last message! When he spots Ignis, he smiles and approaches. ]

Hey, Ignis. Anything in particular you want to focus on, today?

action;

[promittere]

[That sounds more than a little familiar, and makes him even more curious over what Akira's friend may be like.]

Do you have any problem with elemental magic?

[Because it's not like that's the whole crux of Ignis's fighting style.]

[beguiledcard]

[ There's a thoughtful sound. ]

Depends on the element. Every Persona comes with its own strengths. So, between all of them, I don't have a set weakness. [ a soft, breathed out (slightly sheepish-sounding) chuckle ] Some of them even have me immune to physical damages, so you're pretty much welcome to go with anything you're comfortable with.

The only condition there, is that I know in time to switch to the relevant Persona.

[promittere]

[That sounds- well, it sounds pretty impressive. He knows what a Persona is, after his journey into Izunia's Palace, but he hadn't considered the kind of breadth there could be to them.

He humans, tilting his head.]

My elemancy is currently limited to just fire, ice, and lightning - and I suppose we can start with fire first?

[There's a glimmer of crystalline knight, as Ignis pulls out a dagger, tossing it between his hands.

He catches it, which is...Well. He's blind, isn't he?]

[beguiledcard]

[ He nods! Then he switches from Thor to Cybele, which won't make it so he's outright blocking the fire element - just able to endure it. And while he won't be able to cast any healing spells, he will currently be immune to physical attacks...

For now, anyway. ]

Sounds like a plan.

[ Frankly, that's impressive; Akira can't help the way his tone reflects that. ]

Ready whenever you are.
