...Man, thunderstorms suck.  Really not a whole hell of a lot to do out there today...  If someone has an idea of what to do for now, I'm open to suggestions.

Well, I'm more looking forward to tomorrow.  If the weather's decent, I'd like to spar with a few people.  Terra, we still haven't had a chance to fight yet, and I've owed you that for like, a month.  So we need to do that!    Flynn, if you're not busy, I wouldn't mind a go at it either.

And Goku!  You and I have to fight too!   It'd be good to have a strong, friendly rival fistfighter here!

I'm also open to any others who may want a battle in the future.  Gotta practice and not get rusty!

Never hurts to keep training! I'm Adell. How about you?

Re: [Voice]

Simon Belmont. Is there a particular type of weapon you prefer to spar with or may I bring my own?

Re: [Voice]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

I fight with my fists, so I don't need one. But if you want to use one, go ahead! It'll be good for both of us.

Re: [Voice]

[belmontlegacy.livejournal.com]

[Simon smiles] Good. I look forward to it.

Re: [Voice]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

So do I! Where would you like to meet up?

Re: [Voice]

[belmontlegacy.livejournal.com]

Perhaps near the barracks? I believe there is some open area near it.

Re: [Voice]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

Sounds good. I'll meet you there tomorrow!

[OoC: I think this might make for an interesting fight. Do you want to take this to action posts to do the sparring match? An interesting RP opportunity can come of this.]

[Action]

[OoC: Seems interesting to me, too. Sure, just continue the posts starting, here?]

[The next day, Simon can be seen waiting in the field near the barracks, warming up by hitting a dummy with his whip]

Re: [Action]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[Adell arrives before long, and sees Simon thrashing said training dummy.]

Hey, Simon! ...So that's your weapon of choice huh? You're the first person I've seen use a whip that well.

Re: [Action]

[belmontlegacy.livejournal.com]

[Simon turns to Adell]

Thank you. I have never encountered one who favors pugilism over weapons. I look forward to seeing how you fight.

Re: [Action]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[Adell cracks his knuckles.]

Well, if you're ready, you can find out. Ground rules for our fight? Do we go until one forfeits?

[OoC: Adell's power is considerable. He won't be going all out, but expect him to hit like a truck if he manages to connect.]

Re: [Action]

[belmontlegacy.livejournal.com]

[Simon cracks his whip]

Until one forfeits. We avoid breaking bones, or endangering each others lives.

[OoC: The Vampire Killer is made to fight vampires, but it's highly effective against demons and humans as well. It's more powerful than a typical whip, naturally. Of course, Simon won't be going all out, either.]

Re: [Action]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

Then let's begin!

[Adell lunges forward with surprising speed, winding up a punch and sending it Simon's way!]

Re: [Action]

[belmontlegacy.livejournal.com]

[Simon dodges to the side, twisting around and using the momentum to swing his whip at Adell]

Re: [Action]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[Anticipating the move, Adell spins away from the whip-crack, widening the distance between the two of them.]

Re: [Action]

[belmontlegacy.livejournal.com]

[Simon uses the distance to his advantage. He advances, snapping the whip quickly.]

Re: [Action]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[Adell backpedals away from the whip quickly. In response, he backflips further back. In an instant, Adell's hands seem to light on fire as he charges forward like a bull.]

Re: [Action]

[belmontlegacy.livejournal.com]

[Simon is caught off guard by the sudden move. He attempts a dodge, but he is partially hit on the left shoulder. Pain explodes in his shoulder, but he keeps his head and swings his whip again, aiming for Adell's back, but mostly just hoping to get some space]

Re: [Action 1/2]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[Unfortunately for Adell, the Crimson Flame tends to leave him open for an immediate counterattack... and Simon's Vampire Killer finds its target! Pain visibly wracks Adell, as the holy whip strikes him squarely. The amount of power the whip displays against Adell should strongly suggest he's not human...]

Re: [Action 2/2]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[Adell spins around quickly and readies a defensive stance, but doesn't take an aggressive action.]

What the hell is that thing? It felt like I was hit by lightning!

[Action]

[belmontlegacy.livejournal.com]

[Simon halts his attack immediately, surprised by Adell's reaction]

It's called the Vampire Killer. It is made to fight vampires and demons. It shouldn't hurt a human so badly.

Re: [Action]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[Adell's face pales as he lowers his stance.]

...Demons?

Re: [Action]

[belmontlegacy.livejournal.com]

Yes. My world is full of demons who kill humans without mercy. I hunt them

Re: [Action]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[Adell fully lowers his guard, which he hopes isn't a mistake.]

I... see.

Simon, uh... I gotta level with you. ...Well, I'm... not really a human. I'm actually a demon. But I'm not one of those demons from your world.

Re: [Action]

[belmontlegacy.livejournal.com]

[Simon's eyes narrow]

I see. That explains that attack. It felt like fire. You're different from the demons in my world? A man named Geneus suggested that might be true of vampires I find here, too.
