The Salle, after Detention

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

After finally being released from Detention, Nefertiri went down to the salle to practice with her knives and staves. Perhaps the naked dancing boys are down there. They had to be somewhere, after all.

She stripped down to her loincloth and camisole, and began a series of passes with her knives, mask in place.

Conner had gone down to the salle in hopes of a little sword practice.

Yeah, that went right out the window when he caught sight of Evie.

"Whoa, Carnahan, didn't think you had it in you!"

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

Nefertiri pushed up her mask a little higher, and gave Conner a cool look. "I must stay in practice, if I am to defend my father's treasures. Who is this Carnahan whom you addressed?"

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"I didn't know you were a fighter," Conner said, boggling a little bit. "But hey, more power to you. That . . . is you, Evie, right?"

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Who is this Evie?" Nefertiri asked, curious. "I am Nefertiri, daughter of Seti, High King of the Upper and Lower Kingdom of Egypt." She looked him over, and coolly asked, "Will you disrobe to fight now?"

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

And of all the things Conner expected of Evie, a come-on that blatant was certainly not one of them. Although at the moment he was kind of stuck on the Egypt part. "Oh, no, not another . . . did you read a cursed hieroglyph or something?"

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

On anyone else, that look would be bitch, please. On Nefertiri, it was more a question of how ridiculous this person before her could be. "Certainly not. I am having a most normal day. Are you quite well? Did you drink poisoned beer?"

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"I haven't actually had a drink in . . ." Conner abruptly remembered that Mel owed him a drink, or something. "I'm fine! So about this disrobing thing . . ."

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Yes?" Nefertiri put down the knives, and picked up a stave, twirling it in front of her. "How else would one fight? Clothes are an impediment. I am skilled enough not to scar you, if that is your concern."

And off came the shirt. "I appreciate that," Conner said, going for a staff of his own. "I'd kind of like to stay in one piece, you know?"

Tyler was on his way to the gym when, out of curiosity, he poked his head in the salle.

A hot girl in a camisole with knives? Yeah, he had to watch that. "Nice form," he told her.

Nefertiri finished the sequence, then bowed. "I thank you. I have put in many hours to make it so." She looked him over, then slowly smiled a little. "I am Nefertiri. Whom do I address?"

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

"Tyler Durden," Tyler said, reaching for Nefertiti's hand. "And they do say practice makes perfect."

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"It does indeed," Nefertiri said approvingly. "I would very much like to see the results of your practice." She dropped her eyelashes almost demurely, and added, "If you would be so kind as to indulge me."

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Tyler gave her an amused look. "Well, darlin', I would, but it might be a little hard unless you like to fight."

[OOC: Off to cook dinner, will be slow.]

"I do, in fact." She raised her chin proudly. "Knives or staves, sir? And do you require a mask to preserve your beauty?"

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Fists, really, but Tyler would try something new.

"I can use a staff," he said. "And I don't need a mask. Scars are way more interesting. Do you want one?"

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"A staff, yes. A scar, no." She tapped her facemask. "This is enough. Whenever you are ready." Nefertiri smiled at him fiercely. "Show no mercy."

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

"I never do," Tyler promised.

Out of habit, he stepped out of his shoes, then assumed fight stance holding his staff. He twirled it in one hand as he approached Nefertiti.

Henry edged into the salle. He was a little scared of the way Setsuna was acting, but he couldn't stand her up. He'd said that he'd meet her here, so he was going to.
Of course, that didn't stop him from being relieved when she wasn't there. He tried to get his thoughts together and figure out why she was acting so weird.

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

Neftertiri nodded to him, and continued her cool-down stretching exercises. "Sir."

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Henry inclined his head in return. "Good afternoon, Miss."

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

Nefertiri took a moment to stand on her hands, stretching out her toes. Then she slowly curled into a somersault. "Do you wish use of the mat? I am almost finished."

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

"Thank you," Henry replied, "but you may take your time. I'm waiting for someone else."

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"As you will." Nefertiri bowed as she finished her exercises, and politely said, "Until we meet again, sir," as she headed out the door.

John walked in, wanting to beat something with a stick. And then caught sight of the view.
