02 [welcome home]

Characters: AU!Repliku and you
Setting: early afternoon; Cafeteria, Floor 4 (lounge), Floor 25 (meadow), any of the staircases in between these floors
Format: Action tags to start, will match prose
Summary: For a couple days, Repliku disappeared from the tower. He's just returned.
Warnings: None so far

Cafeteria
[February is a terrible month for food, he's decided. Damn candy hearts everywhere, and after making three sandwiches specifically without candy hearts and having the things mysteriously appear anyway, he gave up and took the third sandwich, a bowl of soup, and a soda.]

Floor 4
[If you didn't run into Rep near the cafeteria, you might find him in the lounge with his food, just in case being in the cafeteria might add more candy to his meal.]

Floor 25
[Someone's claimed this meadow for a training spot this afternoon. There's no monsters present, and he's not actually fighting anything. He's mostly just going through attack motions and won't mind if anyone interrupts him.

[So, what if the "Fake" happens to be slipping onto the meadow floor? Hear those footsteps? Whatcha gonna do?

When Riku spots his clone, he lets out a soft sigh and just... watches.]

[chaos sometimes stopped in this floor to have a few moments of peace and greenery before moving on, but when he saw and sensed a person that he met before training, he couldn't help but walk a little closer towards them.]

While there is nothing wrong with training, it is usually best if one has someone to fight with. If it is no trouble, may I spar with you?

[Unfortunately for her, the floor she'd intended to use for a training spot of her own was already claimed, leaving her a little bit miffed at the notion of waiting - or worse yet - sharing the space with someone else. Rather than turn and leave however, she feels the urge to stay and watch, albeit from a distance. Until now she's never really witnessed anyone else in the Tower show off their experience in combat, much less with a blade.

...

Well

There was valentine's day, but that didn't count.]

[That's why he's on this floor, because it's more peaceful and he doesn't have to deal with actually fighting anything. He was facing away from chaos when he enters the floor, and is slightly startled when he hears someone speak.]

Huh? Sure, we can spar. As long as you're not planning on killing or trying to eat me like everything else I've fought here.

[Sorry lady, he didn't know you wanted it. He usually feels the same way about 'his' desired training spots and will clear off until the area is empty if someone else is using it, though. Her presence hasn't been noticed yet, and thus he's continuing with battle motions.

Until he turns to 'block' something behind him and spots her, pausing.]

...How long have you been there?

[Well, this reaction was friendlier than the one chaos was expecting, but his smile didn't diminish.]

Don't worry. I will not kill you or eat you. Whenever you are ready then.

[chaos readied his hands and waited for the person to rush towards him.]

[Go away Riku, you're not wanted here. Or anywhere, really, but mostly here. He doesn't notice Riku right away, for a few minutes, but once he feels like he's being watched, he looks around for the source.

Hope you don't mind the huff and a Strike Raid aimed in your general direction, Riku, because that's what his greeting is. The keyblade likely won't hit, unless Riku happens to step into its path on purpose.]

[Riku rolls his eyes at the incoming Keyblade, performing a dodge-roll to the side, juuust to be safe. When he gets back to his feet, he dusts off his pants and cocks his head to the side, one hand pressed to this hip.]

Hello to you too.

[The keyblade disappears before it completes its path through the air, reappearing in Rep's hand. He doesn't attack again, though, lowering the weapon to his side.]

How long have you been standing there?

Forever.

[Heh, heh, heh.]

Relax, it's just been a few minutes. Not like I'm stalking you or anything.

Haha, funny.

[Eyeroll.]

I should hope you have better things to do than follow me around the Tower constantly. Were you looking to use this floor as well?

Even if I was, it's not like there's some unwritten law that only allows one of us to be here at a time.

[Even if he's guessing Rep wishes that were true.]

[Honestly? The one he's talking to isn't an immediate enemy and also isn't Riku, so he's not so bad yet. Though Rep has no clue what chaos' fighting style is like, except that apparently he fights bare-handed. He does make the first move, but takes a moment to look for any stance weaknesses before moving in with a horizontal slice to chaos' front.]

[chaos blocked the slice to his front side with his right hand and, using his left, took a swipe at Riku's chest with some electrical energy attached to it. If it hit, it would sting for a little while.

chaos fought bare-handed..but his fighting style was all over the place. He was, after all, a jack-of-all-trades.]

[Shrug.]

Since you started prrrrracticing your horizontal swing. Gotta say, I've never rreally seen a style like yours beforrre... you self taught?

[Normally she wouldn't care. Nor would she even attempt to strike up a conversation with a person she didn't know, but it's been some time since she's seen someone practicing like this. It brings back memories, and if anything she can find a kindred spirit in combat easier than anything else.]

Partly. Some of it was taught, some of it I've come up with myself. Been training since I was a kid, so I've had a lot of time to work on it.

[He doesn't mind the conversation, since he hasn't had anyone to talk to for a few days.]

[Whoa, that sure is electricity. He jumps back, out of chaos' reach. That was sort of a stupid move, attacking from the front, but he has a vague idea what chaos is capable of doing, at least. He's not attacking again just yet, partially circling chaos to try to find another spot to target.]

[Right in one. And he knows that he can't make Riku go away, which is only slightly less frustrating than Riku being around in the first place.]

Obviously. We wouldn't be talking about it if that was the case.

Edited 2013-02-25 21:21 (UTC)

[A vague idea would be rather accurate. chaos would just keep smiling and circle around with Riku before snapping his fingers and sending a beam of energy his way.]

[She nods, figured as much.]

Prretty good. It's been a while since I've seen a legitimate swordsman arround here. Some people don't even know how to swing a lead pipe properly, much less an actual weapon.

[Mihli wagered his style wasn't traditional, and the fact that he's taught himself a decent chunk of it confirms her suspicions - still, for self taught, not bad at all. Especially at his age. Color her impressed, even if her tone seems to state otherwise.]

Edited 2013-02-26 12:39 (UTC)

Maybe I should be grateful that you haven't turned me into your own personal target.

[Save for that one Strike Raid, of course. But he totally slipped past that.]

They're not going to last very long here if they can't fight.

[Ignoring the 'death isn't permanent' aspect of the Tower. But it's been crazy around the place lately, and he's glad he does know how to fight.]

[Energy beam what. He has no idea if that can be blocked or deflected in any way, so he's going to play it safe and roll to the side to avoid it.]

This should be fun.

[Here chaos, let's see how you do when you have several lightning bolts coming down on you, courtesy of the Thundaga spell he casts a couple seconds later.]

[Well, that was interesting. chaos tried to jump backwards to avoid the bolts, but a few managed to hit him in the legs. That..stung horribly..but he was still alive. It wasn't like mere lightning bolts could bring him down anyway. After all, he had been able to keep up with Testaments in his universe.

So he just kept smiling.]

I am not sure about fun..but it is interesting.

[Dealing with the pain, chaos jumped up and, summoning a block of ice as big as a boulder, he tossed it at Riku before jumping back down.]

[Pretty cold, but nonetheless entirely true. She nods in agreement, idly, boredly admiring her club]

You make it sound like you don't care.

[Something she pretends to do. She anticipates he'll answer, though that's not what she wants, as such, she shrugs as she approaches him now, club still in hand]

I'll cut to the chase.

[A few meters between the two, Mihli stops, leveling the club at him.]

I came up here orrriginally to blow off some steam and practice, but seeing as you're already here, perhaps you'll do instead? How about you show me that style of yours firrsthand?

I haven't had anyone to train with for--whoa!

[Whoa hello boulder how did you do that kid? Okay, so bare-handed magic user wasn't such an unusual thing, but the giant ice boulder certainly caught him off-guard. He scrambles to the side, the hem of his coat hitting the hunk of ice as he avoids it.]

[Huge ice boulders tended to catch everyone off guard. It's why chaos used it. It gave him some time to heal if he needed to and made sure his opponents might be smushed.]

I do not need to practice often, but I enjoy helping others train.

I...well, I don't mean to say I don't care, but it's true.

[He has a friend who can't really fight, and he wouldn't want her here, unless he could figure out a way to be with her constantly and protect her. But whatever.

He's slightly surprised when she points the club at him.]

Heh, we can fight. It works out better for both of us.

[Ridiculous fighting stance go!]

[Works for her. Like she said, she had some time and energy to blow, plus this kid looks to be fairly competent in what he's doing -- even if that.. that stance. The heck was up with it? Almost like he was taunting her to stride over and smack 'im one.]

[That said, she doesn't adopt any sort of stance either. Actually, she just slings that club over her shoulder while she sizes him up, taking a few steps closer but not actually making a move just yet. The way she appraises him and that constant apathetic aura of hers is probably enough to make Riku think she just doesn't take him at all seriously.]
