|The Academy of Featherdown Moors RP| discussion

Taught by Livia Andreas

Lumine walked in, holding Asa’s hand tightly.

((sorry i gtg sleep im super tired rn ;( ))

“You’ll be fine! Honestly, once you get the hang of it, it’ll be a piece of cake.” Lumine told Asa.

Yami flew into a window, slowly sliding off of it in a comedic fashion. She walked in, all embarrassed.

“Oh hey, Yami!” Lumine spotted Yami and exclaimed.

"Hey.." She said, she was embarrassed she hit the window. "How are you doing?" She asked with a smile.

"Is this that fighting class? If so wanna fight? Just a playful spar." She said, her talons were out, they looked incredibly sharp and pretty long, they are made to tear flesh from bone.

"I think so, wanna fight?" She asked. "I can put foam over my talons."

"Ya." She said, bouncing up and down, she looked really innocent.

"Hand to hand if you want. Or since I'm a fast bird of prey you can use a weapon. I recommend a spear due to reach. I may be stupid but I'm good at fighting." She said excitedly.

Yami was flying around the area incredibly quickly , landing on the ground when she arrive, her wings folded up. "Let's do this." She said, bouncing up and down, her talons looked to be her primary weapon.

Yami lunged at her, going high with her wings before doing a very sudden dive, talons extended with killing intent. She wouldn't actually kill her but in order to fight you need the intent.

Evangaline darts into the room. I can't believe I'm late! She screeches to herself. I was all ready to go and then it just slipped my mind! She glances around the room, spotting Yami and Asa sparring. Ooh! That looks like fun!

Yami was going too quick and just sent Hannah flying.

Eva rushes forward, and prevents Hannah from hitting the ground too hard.

"What on earth is happening here?" Evangaline asks, eyes wide. "In sparring, there's rules, like light contact, and stay two inches from the face."

Yami grabbed the spear with one foot and flew back up, snapping it into pieces.

"Okay, hold it!" Eva yells. "Would you please explain the rules here to me? I'm pretty sure the Academy doesn't want us breaking the training weapons! Where is the teacher? Are we supposed to be sparring without adult supervision? I'm sorry for being a party-crasher, but this is not safe!"

"Come on, it was plastic." She chuckled, wrapping a foot around her leg and throwing her into the air. "Things are a dime a dozen."

((Who are you throwing?))

may I join in? ))

((Of course. :P))

Lilly & Zay wrote: ""THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING!" Hannah says. "The first rule is that no physical contact can be made until a professor is around. Rule 2, you can't spar without adult supervision. Rule 3,y ou can't break..."

maybeeee we can let the professor make the rules instead of making them up? I know i'm not a mod but-))

((Probably a good idea. But who's the professor in this class?))

"It's perfectly safe." She said with a chuckle. "I'll pay them back for it though even though it's only plastic. Plus in a real fight you want to destroy your enemies ability to attack before ripping them to shreds."

Kaito went a bit too fast through to door and stumbled when he came in. He stopped and went silent, watching the people arguing. They looked angry. Now this is my kind of class. Oh please don't hurt anyone He looked bitter and remorseful as he hefted a small spear. He turned it in his hands, nearly dropping it. Jesus i'm so clumsy

Eva reels back. "But this isn't a real fight! You don't actually want to send your opponent to the infirmary! It's a simulation fight! Not a real one!"

"if I was trying I could have torn her head off." She said with a smirk, she is scary. She was certainly not lying or exaggerating, after all Sakers are the fastest and most deadly species outside of a dive.

Evangaline shakes her head in disbelief. "Maybe we could save the head-tearing-off for the humans?" She asks, trying to defuse the situation. "And lets go easy on everyone who hasn't actually fought before?" She looks at Asa for confirmation. "You haven't had any training yet, have you?"

"If somebody gives me a dummy I can show." She offered with a smile.

Eva watches Asa walk over and sit down. "Are you okay? Did you get hurt?" She asks.

"I guess I could go easy, especially against the songbirds and waterbirds, they don't seem too strong." She said with a smile, picking up and tossing around an empty cart, then she flew and caught it.

"And Hannah? Are you alright?" she adds, remembering her friend's fall. "I know you're fine, Yami, why don't you go grab a dummy, and you can beat it up while we wait for the teacher to show up." She smiles at her. It doesn't quite reach her eyes, though, which show her stress levels rising.

Eva stares at disbelief at Yami. "I learned to fight a while ago, when I decided it was time to learn to defend myself. That's a generalization, and it shows that you think you're better than the rest of us. Please don't be that person."

Yami starting to tear up a dummy, ripping the head off with a kick and sending it flying. She then started to rip flesh off the bone of the dummy. "Sorry, I just kinda think of people as weaker than me, I can't really help it."

God, I'm making Yami seem like a dick, really she is a cinnamon roll though)

Eva sends a hard stare Yami's way. "Gentle does not mean weak. Just because a person doesn't want to fight, doesn't mean they can't. And you shouldn't just assume others are weaker than you are, just because you're the fastest."

"The winner of a fight is the one who hits first with overwhelming speed and power, how can you win something you can't hit?" She asked.

Eva's stare turns into a glare. "There are other ways of winning. For example: Not fighting in the first place! And your speed has a weakness. As far as I know, from observing, and I might be wrong, but it seems like you can't maneuver very well with those giant wings, which means you can't turn as quickly as you fly straight. And you have to get started flying for a few feet before you can speed up to your normal speed. Again, I could be wrong, but that's what it looks like to me."

((Hello? Did everyone poof out of existence?))

"Fine, you got my weakness right, I can't turn terribly quick when going fast, however my wings size can go down for some reason, not by much, they fold over so I can make quick turns." She said.

"Oh." Eva blinks. "Cool. Can I see?" She's already walking over, but knows it's impolite to touch a person's wings without their permission.

She nodded, showing them folding up. "Thats how I can go through windows and stuff." She said with a warmer smile, she seemed to be calming down and becoming happy now that they are not fighting.

Eva laughs. "That's brilliant! The fact that your wing structure is pliable enough to let you do that..." She trails off, and blushes. "Sorry, I'm a wing geek. I went through a time when I was a kid when I liked to draw them, and I looked up just about everything on wings I could find."

"Do you think that, if there were dragons, they would be our species, like, second cousins or something?" She randomly asks, glad that the tension in the room is dissolving.

"Ya, it does not hurt much when I do it, although I can only do it on the joints as there are bones in there after all." She said with a smile. "You can touch them if you want, just don't pull feathers." She said.

*species'*

Eva walks forward, closing the last few feet between them, and reaches out greedily to touch them. Yami's feathers are surprisingly soft, especially for primary feathers. Most of the time, primary feathers are a lot more stiff, to keep the bird-person in the air when flying, but with Yami's flexibility in her wings, it makes sense for them to be softer. Interesting. She smiles at her.

"Do you like their feel?" She inquired with a smile. She liked being touched, it felt very nice and she didn't feel embarrassed so there was no reason for her to not let her touch her wings.
