I am in need of a sparring partner. Preferably someone familiar with Japanese katana, knowledgeable of different styles, and willing to practice early morning hours. He needs practice with several opponents, so I'll take as many of you as want to help♥ But I do ask that supernatural powers be kept to a minimum, hm? Not that a little here and there won't help.

Thank you~

[For any looking for him personally, he's finally emerged from his room after over a week of illness and will be at House 50.]

[A neat, well written script appears after a while]

I believe that I could help you in this regard.

[ahappylie]

Wonderful. May I inquire into your training and style?

[Written]

[thefinaljedi]

I am a Jedi Knight, and I've studied various forms of lightsaber combat, which easily could be shifted to any style of sword you would require. I prefer a single blade, though I'm well versed in two sword, staff, and Jedi unarmed techniques.

[Okay, Jedi? He has no idea about. Lightsaber? Again, what what. But Knight? He knows that word from stories and this person seems to have a wide range of abilities if what he says is true.]

It seems that we may have a deal then. My name is Okita Souji, a teacher of the Tennen Rishin style of swordsmanship. May I have your name?

My name is Luke Skywalker, Grandmaster of the New Jedi Order. It is pleasant to make your acquaintance. May I ask, what is the Tennen Rishin style?

[Written]

[ahappylie]

[Grandmaster? Well.]

It is an honor to make the acquaintance of a Grandmaster. The Tennen Risihin style is a kenjutsu focused on application in battle over form. We're warriors and we focus on that rather than the simple repetition of practiced forms and set matches. It's the style practiced by most of the members of my group, the Shinsengumi. I'm afraid I don't know much about the Jedis, but it does sound interesting.

It sounds interesting. I'm not sure who the Shinsengumi are, but I have a feeling that you are from Japan.

The Jedi are an ancient order of warrior-monks from my home. We use a power known as the Force for a variety of things, and our traditional weapon is something like a sword, save its made of light. If you would prefer, I can provide a demonstration at some point, it may be easier than explaining it.

When, and where, would you like to begin our practice?

[Written]

[ahappylie]

Yes, I am from Japan. The Shinsengumi are an elite task force given responsibility to protect the capitol city.

You'll be sparring against my pupil, actually. But I would like to see this light sword of yours. I'm unable to leave the house for today, but perhaps tomorrow?

[Written] (Did you want to tag this spar out? Luke and I will both need introductions)

[thefinaljedi]

Of course, though I would recommend bringing an extra weapon for me if possible. A lightsaber cuts through nearly all minerals like bantha-butter, but I'd be happy to show you.

[Written] (I'll ask Masa and we can appointment post it if you like! o/ )

[ahappylie]

I don't know what bantha-butter is, but it sounds impressive. Tomorrow morning, if you like, I'll come with my student, Sokka, and two wooden swords for you both.

[Written]

[thefinaljedi]

Sounds good, I'll see you then.

[Written]

[ahappylie]

I'll see you tomorrow then. As soon as the sun rises, we meet in the barracks.

[And a link for you!]
