2nd Strike | Video | UN: 1stStrike | KARATE WAR BEGINS

[ The feed opens to show Ozpin within the sitting room of his manor in Gaze, hands folded over his filigreed walking cane. The glow of the moon combines with his overwrought wallpaper to make the background luridly green. He smiles thinly over his tinted glasses; he seems tense about something offscreen. ]

Good afternoon, everyone. I recognize it has been some time since I last discussed my services on this network... and so I wish to put out a call once again. For those who wish to hone their skills in combat, my name is Professor Ozpin, and I am glad to welcome students new and old.

As it happens, I have met with [ and here's an obvious flicker of annoyance ] several other combat instructors in town, and we have devised an event which all might enjoy. [ He turns his attention to the right, and the camera pans with him, to another silver-haired man. ]

Thank you, Professor Ozpin. [ He nods, turning back to look at the camera with a warm smile. ] Hello, everyone. I'm Terry Silver.

We'll be holding a martial arts tournament with both armed and unarmed divisions. We hope to hold it sometime in May, just for some friendly competition and a bit of motivation to learn and improve your self-defense skills.
[ Will it stay friendly? Probably not. ]

All three of us will be offering lessons separately, and if you're a teacher with at least one student you can sign your own school up as well.

[ He looks to his right, clenching his teeth as he tries not to look too annoyed with Johnny. ] Anything you'd like to add, Sensei Lawrence?

[ Johnny moves in front of the two men who tower over him so he’s the prime focus of the feed from here on out. ]

Listen up, nerds.

This tournament is going to have some ground rules for anyone who wants to participate.

Rule number 1: No powers, magical bullshit, or any other crap like that. A real badass doesn’t need those in a fight. He- Or she beats the crap out of her opponent with their own two hands or a weapon in this case.

Rule number 2: These fights aren’t an all out brawl. This is going to be a test of skills. You’ll be awarded points in a match. You need three points to win. You’ll be awarded points for a clean hit to the head or body.

Rule number 3: No murder. This should go without fucking saying. We’re here to kick ass and take names. A real winner knows when he’s won.

And finally- Now, Paul!


[ The camera shifts slightly as a human-sized stuffed ninja wearing a “Super Awesome Ninja School” t-shirt is thrown into frame. Johnny leaps up and kicks it in the chest and out of frame before landing on the ground in one solid motion. ]

This is an open challenge to any of the other combat schools looking to start up. Next month, be there or be square.

[OOC: Green font is Ozpin, Blue is Terry, Red is Johnny.

I'm afraid it's not passive at all, in Sasuke's video post about his lessons my other sworn sword Lance, who was assisting him at the time, made the mistake of calling it a super awesome ninja school. And he did, in jest, tell Cobra Kai to suck it. It seems Lord Cobra Kai has not forgiven us this slight.

Oh, I see.

[Super... Awesome Ninja School? She does take a moment to reflect on the fact that Sansa referring to everything by feudal titles continues to be endearing.]

What's the actual name? He could have at least used that when making the T-Shirts.

[she's just trying to be polite.........nobody's ever actually explained to her what 'mister' means......]

He wasn't trying to make a school. He was only offering lessons. I told him I'd make him a banner, and he said to put 'Ninjutsu Training' on it.

[it's a good banner. she's not sure how things escalated to this point.]
adaine: (all the things she said)

[That's the most basic bitch name she's ever heard in her whole fucking life?]

I see.

...If he's competing he should probably come up with a catchier name? Like maybe the training is just Ninjutsu Training but the team is something else?

Like... the Owlbears.

I haven't heard of owlbears.

[they sound deceptively cute...]

You'll have to talk to him, I'm not entering the tourney. If it were my team, I think I'd call them the Knights of Winter.

[very good hiding there alayne stone]
adaine: (but you could buy up all the stars)

[personal profile] adaine 2022-04-15 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, they're these creatures that are shaped like bears but have the face of an owl.

I fought one once. Our gym teacher released it on us while he was trying to open up a gateway to Hell.

Knights of Winter is a good name!
dohaeris: (come on man)

Gym sounds very dangerous.

adaine: (so dark it ain't so dark)

It was less so when my friend's dad took over.

[Her friend's dad... Gorthalax the Insatiable.]

[that does not explain what 'gym' refers to. perhaps some sort of summoning magic?]

I'm glad to hear it.
