Up Is Down

..Come to think of it, it's VERY strange that the Auror program doesn't put more emphasis on pure self-defense. There's plenty of magical dueling, but almost nothing about simple hand-to-hand combat. What if a person's wand is lost -- or broken!? That shouldn't have to be a crippling blow, especially for a wizard! WELL. As long as I'm on the grounds, nobody will lack for a fervent sparring partner against whom to test their skills!!!!

Ah, the happy sounds of industrious study!! Everybody, watch out for the west corridor on the third wing -- I hear it's full of some kind of bubble charm that simply sweeps people off their feet. But don't worry, it'll soon be put to rights!!!


*jogs down the hall, smiling at all and sundry*


[[Feel free to be responsible for (or affected by) the bubble prank... or to have a spar with the Green Beast. XD]]

Hello there, Gai! You seem...bursting full of energy today.

[proudgreenauror.livejournal.com]

*BLINDING SMILE* HaHAH!!! When am I not bursting with the thrilling verve of youth??

[magicalmophead.livejournal.com]

True. Your youthful energy is unmatched, Gai. It's a challenge to keep up with you.

[proudgreenauror.livejournal.com]

*dynamic pose* Yes -- life is MAGNIFICENT, if only you have the nerve to reach out and seize the moment!!

*pauses as a thought strikes him* Say, Mytho... what do you know about self-defense?

[magicalmophead.livejournal.com]

Self-defense...? DADA is one of my best classes.

[proudgreenauror.livejournal.com]

No, no, not magical defense! *ANOTHER dynamic pose* Tell me, what would you do if you were attacked -- and for some reason could not defend yourself with magic??

[magicalmophead.livejournal.com]

......I'd...hit them, I suppose. Or perhaps I'd use a sword. I'm skilled in fencing, as well.

[proudgreenauror.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY!!! You'd have to do something that requires physical skill -- in other words, classical self-defense! I think all wizards should know how to spar, because you never know when you'll need that knowledge!

[magicalmophead.livejournal.com]

...You know, that's rather smart, actually.

[proudgreenauror.livejournal.com]

Of course it is!! XD *rubs hands gleefully* So, how would you like to learn some self-defense?


[[*headdesk* Sorry about comment confusion there.]]

[magicalmophead.livejournal.com]

Well...I suppose it couldn't hurt.

((OOC: It's fine! <3))

[proudgreenauror.livejournal.com]

Of course it couldn't if we do it right!! Meet me during your next class break and I'll show you some of the basics!

*has no idea, poor fellow, that he's not talking to Mytho at all*

[magicalmophead.livejournal.com]

Alright. I'll do so.

*likes that juuust fine for the time being XD*

[proudgreenauror.livejournal.com]

*THUMBS-UP!!* >D


[[Shall we log, or assume they did it?]]

[magicalmophead.livejournal.com]

((OOC: Best to just assume for now. ^^; I'm reeeeally tight on time right now, although that should hopefully be fixed soon.))

[[OK! I expect Kyro was a good student, and they probably worked on evading simple strikes and a block/strike combination, along with the first rule of self-defense: don't be in a dangerous situation. XD]]

((OOC: Sounds about right. <3 Thank you!))
