Gym, Saturday night

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Even silent, Tyler seemed especially confident as he waited for people to show up in the gym. He was barefoot, and clad in a tank top and sweats.

As people came in, he handed them sheets of paper with "Fight Club Rules" scrawled at the top.

1. What happens here, stays here.
2. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR PARTNER. Match is over when someone signs "stop."
3. Only two to a fight.
4. One fight at a time.
5. No shoes. Padding only if you need it.
6. Fights go on as long as they have to. Someone's bleeding too much or knocked out? Fight's over.
7. Play nice, boys and girls.


[OOC: Here's how this will work. "Listen" to Tyler and mingle in the top thread. When you've paired off, start a new thread for that match. Handwave the "one fight at a time" thing. And please try not to send each other to the infirmary -- they'll be busy enough. Thanks.]

Arrive + mingle

Yes, Tyler is crazy.

Ivanova arrived after settling Maia in her room, with threats to stay in one place, not leave without her, stay away from the windows, keep this large bat at hand, yadda yadda, and now curious about this Fight Club thing.

And, because she was a sharp one, with a magic marker and a slim notepad in her back pocket.

Bel's full of pent up anger and frustration, so Fight Club seemed like a good idea. Anyone taking him on might get hurt.

Anakin needed to hit things.

So Fight Club was right up his alley tonight.

He'd brought his wipeboard and pen with him and scrawled Hey on it when he came into the room.

After leaving the computer lab Pippi flounced down to the gym.

She held up a sign to Tyler. (See icon.)

Alphonse came in, very much in the mood to throw some swings. After all, he hadn't had a good sparring match in a while.

Re: Arrive + mingle

Fight club? Sakurazaki was so there, even if on principle alone.

[[but probably SPed and now posted properly, yays]]

Peter wasn't entirely sure this was going to be an effective use of time, but there wasn't anything else to do. And maybe, if he were really lucky, he could spar with practice blades.

Parker is so, so, so very bored. It's either this, or go looking for cigarettes. So, she's here.

Re: Arrive + mingle

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia showed up, ready to focus on something different and hopefully break things.

Re: Arrive + mingle

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter was there because there was no way he was leaving Nadia alone tonight.

It wasn't going to help his mood, though, since he wouldn't be fighting.

Re: Arrive + mingle

Aeryn arrives a little later. She's worried and she's frustrated and that means hitting things is good. At least then it feels like she's doing something.

Drumming her fingers along the walls, Callisto came into the gym.

Re: Arrive + mingle

Jamie walked in and interrupted Tyler in the middle of whatever he was doing.

He wrote out a quick note.

Have you seen Marie at all today?

Re: Arrive + mingle

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

After seven weeks of little to no practice in sparring, Marty decided to check in and see what this fight club thing was all about.

Re: Arrive + mingle

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John showed up.

Anakin + Bel

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin had left his robe in a puddle on the floor on top of his boots and was now standing on one side of the mat, waiting for Bel with a slight smile curving his lips.

This would be fun.

Re: Anakin + Bel

[demonbelthazor]

Bel stretched and rolled his neck, then stepped on the opposite side of the mat. He smiled at Anakin, but it wasn't a friendly smile.

Ivanova + Pippi

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi flounces out onto the mat and bounces on the balls of her feet.

Re: Ivanova + Pippi

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

Flouncing. Interesting way to start.

Then again, Ivanova was sauntering. Her marker and paper had been set aside. Didn't want to stain anything. She smiled and tossed off a little wave at her opponent.

Alphonse + Parker

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker kicked off her shoes, considered putting on padding, and started to stretching, waiting for Al to warm up.

Re: Alphonse + Parker

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

Alphonse set his shoes and coat in a neat little pile off to the side, then came up, doing a few quick stretches to get him started. After he was done he looked up towards Parker, waiting for her signal.

Nadia + Tyler

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia took her boots off and bounced on her toes for a moment, limbering up, and waited for Tyler to step up.

Re: Nadia + Tyler

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Tyler kicked his sneakers aside and stretched his neck and arms, then dropped into fight stance.

He grinned at Nadia. It had been too long since he did this, the thought, as he nodded, indicating he was ready.

Peter + Sakurazaki

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Practise sword in hand, Sakurazaki can't help but grin. Not only did she fully expect that swords wouldn't be used, but she'd been waiting for a chance to spar with Peter for a while now. It would be particularly interesting to see their distictive styles against each other.

She sets herself in a ready stanse, waiting for Peter to do the same.

[[sorry about the sp that will occur.;_;]]

Re: Peter + Sakurazaki

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter found a practice blade that he liked and set himself in a ready position across from Sakurazaki. He nodded to her with a smile. Because he'd been looking forward to this as well, quite a bit. Plus, fighting with swords was always better than hand to hand.

Aeryn + Callisto

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Bouncing on the balls of her feet, Callisto made her way onto the mat.

Re: Aeryn + Callisto

[can_be_more]

The last time Aeryn fought with Callisto, she got punched in the throat, and now Aeryn knows Cal's twitchy. At least she can't say she's not prepared. She takes her place on the mat and assumes a fighting position.
