Hi-ho!! Everyone enjoying having a body again after that mental assault? I know I am! Or at least, that I need to get stretching. Soooo, well, short of certain things I could offer to all the beautiful women of the world, I'd have to say that the best option sounds like a spar, right? Anyone else feeling that crushing feeling going through their body and calling them to draw blood...? Aahahah, of course, that's overstated, but you might as well opt in for a fight, right? We'll get it pumping for the both of us.

[ He tuts, and he rolls his neck. Honestly, Masaomi is lost. A dream of a world that he loved was shattered, and thrown into that chaos... watching (feeling) the whole thing shattering around him is incredibly distressing. In light of that situation there's no way he wouldn't want to opt into something physical in order to move past it. The man stretches a little, and he nods to himself. ]

Of course, if you just want to work out or race, I'll be in and around that gym. Me and mine will also be willing eye candy for you gawkers out there! Aaaaanyway, that's Masaomi Kida, over and out!

Hopefully it's not the same day as always.

[ He mutters that last bit, and kills his phone.

Obviously I'm not necessarily done with the Queen Fight (so please feel free to tag me there (too), but I wanted to get a downtime thing up between the two dream events. If your character wouldn't respond over the network, feel free to call action in the gym, dojo, or pool or whatever else you want to work out with me. He'll be doing jogging, lighting weights, stretching swimming, and sparring both with and observing it among his two Pokémon (Linda the Raichu and Julia the young Kangaskhan). I'm open for anything so if you want to do something even more offbeat feel free to hit me up with it. ]

[Oh, Finn remembers this guy.

He didn't know that he was one who liked fighting, but okay. Sparring sounds fine. Finn honestly could use it right about now.]

Sparring, hmm? What's your weapon of choice?

[ That's... a fair question ]

Honestly, it'd be easier to show you the full show if we're talking that, but for the most part, I've the most experience in batons.

Batons? Oh, you mean like a scepter?

[That is a weapon he has used before! It's what he used before he got his sword, actually.]

I think we could manage something like that, though I had no idea you were a magic-user.

Nope, like those police things. It'll be more clear in person! Either way, I've actually got some other things under my belt, I'll match what's best for you.

[The police don't exist in his world, but he won't ask about it now, since they're going to meet up anyway and he can pester Kida about it then.]

Sounds fair. Shall we meet in the training room in an hour?

I'll be here the whole time and just bring everything! I'll be expecting you.

[Finn does show up before too long, and he even brings his giant sword with him too. That is quickly set aside once he arrives though, he's not going to fight Kida with that. That's for serious fights, where Finn intends on killing someone.

He strips off his outer coat and his gloves too, leaving him in his shirt, pants, and boots. If it's just a friendly fight, then there's no need for the extra padding that would just make him sweaty with the extra effort of a fight.]

Alright then. Let's see what you have.

[ Masaomi's standing there with everything of his battle attire sitting, laid out in a part of the room. Most of the wire and scrolls and such are till in the pockets of the flak jacket, but he grins as the guy comes in, looking perhaps a little bit too eager. For his part, he's in a tank top and shorts, though he is still wearing the defense-raising necklace. Next to him, Linda the Raichu is sitting there impatiently.

Julia has wandered off to another corner. ]

It's as you see... Finn-san, wasn't it?

That would be me, yes.

Before we begin, I must warn you: I can only heal myself, not others, so we should exercise some caution. I would hate to accidentally hurt you.

[He spares a moment to glance at Linda and give her a smile. He doesn't have his own pokemon, but he knows they're sentient, so he figures he shouldn't be rude.]

Oh, well, then, we'll have to make sure I'm not injured too badly!

[ Linda, for her part... well, she sort of waves a tail at him. Hi, green thing. Hi. ]

[Masaomi's offer is a welcome distraction after recent events. Rob wastes little time in responding once the message goes out.]

Are you up for that spar to include weapons?

Yes! Though I guess we'll have to be careful, not like we've got a quick-fix magic healing. Unless I don't know about it.

I've got a little bit of healing magic, but I'll still try to hold off on the bloodshed. I don't want to find out if I can reattach severed limbs without backup.

I'll be over in a few minutes. Just gotta get the sharp parts padded.

You'll be severing arms, huuuh? Well, I might be in trouble.

[ But it's okay, he'll be waiting. ]

...I won't try to!

[When he arrives, it's without his usual two-handed axe. If Masaomi has ever looked around in the armory, he may recognize the round wooden shield and one-handed axe that Rob is carrying. The axe's head is wrapped in scrap leather and cloth.

Rob himself is sporting new scars along with his new equipment; the right side of his face bears the signs of being torn apart and then stitched back together. His other new scars are hidden beneath the cargo pants and blood-red tunic he's wearing.]

Hey.

[ Try. He's not sure how much of that is bravado and how much he ought to be scared by the idea. But the main doesn't comment much on it, allowing for the sign off. For his part, he's actually waiting there with one of his batons in hand, collapsed at the moment and then what appears to b a sizable seashell next to him, which he picks up as he springs to his feet. He's not got on his full battle attire, though in a corner of the rom the flake vest and the various other items are there. Right now he's simply got on a tank top and loose pants. ]

Hey, hey!

So, uh.

[He raises the shield and axe a bit, then lets his arms fall to their previous position.]

Wanted to try some different equipment. More defense and something I don't need two hands for. Last time I tried using a shield it didn't go so well, so. Just a heads-up.

Hoookay! That's legit. We thinking weapons? Arms, gadgets?

[ That said, he's extending the baton and picking up the sea shell in the other hand. ]

Weapons are good.

[Seeing Masaomi extend his baton, Rob brings his shield up in front of him and changes his stance to one more suited to combat.]

You good to go?

Hooo. Alright, alright, try not to hack off any arms.

[ So the impetus is on him, huh? Well then, narrowing his eyes, the man steps forward hard with one foot, brings the baton to bare, and goes in for the first strike. He actually goes for it in such a way he's pretty sure Rob'll be able to brace the shield, he's more seeing how the guy does with manipulating it and holding his ground while glancing a hit off it. ]

[Rob is able to block the strike and glance it off without much difficulty. He gets some details in the motions wrong, but nothing major. He's obviously used a shield before.

The issues start to appear when he swings the axe in for a counterattack. The attack is fine, obviously trying not to actually injure Masaomi, but his shield starts to drift off to the side as he swings. There's a small opening, if Masaomi is skilled enough to exploit it.]

[ For a moment, he considers putting up the shell - the dial, rather - to take that blow, but there's no need to use that just yet. The ax is moving in such a way he's able to side-step it fairly well, grinning a little as he does. Mostly because yes, he does see the opening. More to make the point of what could happen than anything, he makes a "stabbing" motion with the baton, poking it through the opening to hit Rob. ]

[It hits, and Rob makes an annoyed hiss from between clenched teeth; he recognizes the point for what it is.

He brings the shield front and center before swinging the axe at Masaomi again. The opening doesn't reappear, but the shield does drift slightly to the side when he attacks and doesn't quite return to its previous position afterward. If that drift happens every time he attacks, that opening will reappear again.

This is what he meant when he said that using a shield didn't go so well.]
