[ Lightning really doesn't have much to say about this whole Valentine's mess that's been going on. Basically yeah, what she gets from it? Everyone is celebrating some weird 'Earth' holiday again- one that's supposed to be about love, but for some reason is strangely commercialized in its traditions. Good for them, though. At least people seem a ( Read more... )

affectionate punches...?!, let's fight you punks... or not, !luceti, not as tl;dr for once, *event: valentine's love, @zack fair, inexplicably infatuated girl, this is so not fair, there'd better be roses eventually, !ic, @ryoga, @jack horner, @adell, possibly a trainwreck in the making

[Oh what a lovely day it is! Not even the winter weather can dampen his mood, because love is in the air!

...Okay, that's a lie, it's a somewhat sobering day for a guy who's living with his ex-girlfriend. But it's a nice enough day and everyone seems so darned happy, it's impossible not to let the enthusiasm spread. Why be a downer when you could be having some fun?]

Is today really a day where you should be talking about fighting?

[ What? But that's like... what she does, bro.

..... Um.

Except she... is rather curious as to why he might say that. ]

Why not?

[Voice] wingenvy February 15 2011, 04:31:16 UTC

It's a holiday apparently! You should have fun with it!

[And he could totally think of a few ways they could do that.]

[Voice] thestormishere February 15 2011, 05:02:02 UTC

Apparently. A holiday for couples.

[ Pause. ]

Uh. I don't really... have a boyfriend here or anything, Zack. [ You know... just kind of putting that out there.... ]

I specialize in martial arts? Most of it is self taught. Why do you ask?

[Voice] thestormishere February 15 2011, 04:25:02 UTC

How do you... teach yourself?

[ Forget why she's asking for just a moment. Because... really. ]

[Voice] lost_pig_boy February 15 2011, 04:29:31 UTC

The same way you learn anything else? You study it. [In Ryoga's case, he would never make it to any lessons.]

[Voice] thestormishere February 15 2011, 05:19:16 UTC

[ ... Sigh. ] Then you're actually studying the techniques of something else, right?

I am. I learned the basics from my dad, but most of what I learned is self-taught.

thestormishere February 15 2011, 04:26:46 UTC

[ Another one who says he's 'self-taught?' ]

But why even bother?

vulcanblazer February 15 2011, 04:32:00 UTC

To save my family.

[Stated simply, like it would be the most obvious thing.]

thestormishere February 15 2011, 04:43:25 UTC

[ That. Okay, well... that makes absolute sense to Lightning. ]

I see.

Bar brawls, giant slaying, dealing with goblins, a few wars here and there, and so on. I've picked it up on the go.

thestormishere February 16 2011, 18:17:56 UTC

Wars, huh? [ Yes, that's pretty much the most unusual thing about what he said in her opinion. For being such a war god, Lightning is... unusually unfamiliar with the concept. ]

originaljackass February 16 2011, 18:22:12 UTC

That's right. I was an officer too. Back then I was known as Captain Jack Horner, Infantry division. [Yes. Even this Jack can attach Captain to his name.]

thestormishere February 16 2011, 18:38:54 UTC

[ A commissioned officer, then. He seems a bit young to be a captain from what she knows, but... different worlds and all. It's possible she's just mistaken. ]

I see. Thanks.
