[ Steph smiles and waves at the camera as the video begins. Anyone who talked to her just after last month's catastrophe can see, she seems to be back to her normal self. ]

Hey! Stephanie Brown here, with two things:

First, I'm looking for sparring partners for staff fighting. By which I mean I'll be using a staff, and you can use whatever you want. [ ... ] ...Firearms might be tricky. I don't want to do any property damage.

[ That is the only problem she foresees. She waves a dismissive hand. ]

Anyway, we can work out the logistics.

The second thing is those green candles the people from Lestari have been making. [ She frowns. ] Has anyone tried them and found, like, they don't... work? Or, they don't work like you were expecting?

[ She has a thought, but she doesn't want to give it any weight without asking around first. ]

Or if they worked exactly like you were expecting and they've never ever failed, that'd be good to know too.

for a broken arm? last time I broke my arm I didn't even get to take a day off of school.

they're supposed to make you dream about your loved ones, instead of the weird ghost party they usually have around halloween.

[owarifool]

dont forget the shattered ribs!

ah well that sounds kinda bogus but given its this place maybe ur just doing something wrong?

[Here, have a guy that looks like he stepped out of the stone age. Because he pretty much did.]

Ah, smarkaka. Miyi nashman Takkar. (Non-literal Translation: 'Sup homeskillet? Name's Takkar.)

One, why you wish fight others?

Two... candle is wax stick, yes? [His voice was low and a dee baritone with a semi-broken and simple speech pattern.]

[ichoosefight]

[ ...She's just going to pretend those were words and move on. ]

I'm out of practice.

And yeah, candles are sticks of wax. They burn on one end. These ones, the fire turns green.

[dabeastmastah]

[Sure sounded like words. One sounds like "name". Only weird.]

Go hunt.

They turn greenhouse? Odd... You want one?

[The only reason he can think of for why she was asking.]

I could use a sparring partner. Staff fighting isn't common where I'm from, so it'll be good experience.

[ He looks thoughtful for a moment. ]

Are you just looking to improve your skills, or do you want to better defend against other fighting styles?

[ichoosefight]

Both. Chances are I'm not gonna find myself up against another staff fighter, and it's not much good practicing against a wooden dummy. Actually I'm more used to fighting people with guns or knives than anything else.

[pridefulness]

Guns...?

[ He doesn't know what a gun is, but it probably doesn't matter. He considers for a second, once again lamenting the loss of his ninjutsu and sharingan. ]

Well...my Taijutsu is decent. Outside of that, I normally fight with kunai, shuriken, traps, and wire. I'm sure it could help your reflexes, and it'll help me improve, too.

I wouldn't be against meeting up for some staff-to-staff combat. It's not something I've made much time for. Unless you count the combat quests, I suppose.

But I did want to discuss those candles a bit. Would you want to try another mage's candles and see if you dream something else? I've looked into making them for the sake of improving my cognitive magic, but I'm not sure that I would actually want to try using them.

[ichoosefight]

Great! You never know when you're gonna have to fight a dragon, right?

[ HA HA. Ha. ha. Not funny. Moving on. ]

Sure, I'd try them again. It's not like anything bad happened.

As long as you don't mind going against someone who fights unarmed, I'd be interested in sparring with you, Miss.

[There is only so much one can do against the dummies, after all.]

[ichoosefight]

As long as you don't mind going against someone armed! I have some hand-to-hand buddies, but I don't want to pressure them into letting me hit them with a stick.

I can't really answer about the candles, but I'd be willing to be a sparring partner. I use a hammer, if that's okay.

[ichoosefight]

Yeah, that should be fine. I'm pretty sure my staff can take it. I've never seen anyone fight with a hammer before, though.

[thepunshow]

No firearms huh? I can do that
Long as you don't mind fighting someone without a weapon sign me up

text;

[ichoosefight]

No, firearms are fine, we'd just have to find a place where no people or buildings are at risk. A canyon, maybe? I kind of like that idea, actually. Anyone too far to see could definitely hear a gun going off before they got too close.

But yeah I don't mind fighting against someone unarmed

[ragingblossom]

If you're still taking offers for sparring partners, I'd love to. I prefer fighting without a weapon, but I have kunai, if you prefer.

[ichoosefight]

The more the merrier. Up to you how you wanna fight. I need practice with unarmed opponents too.

[morganknight]

I'll fight you with my staff hurr hurr hurr.

[Look, how can he resist saying that?]

[ichoosefight]

[ He should have resisted. At least she only looks jokingly annoyed? ]

I'll punch you in the face. Sound like a fair trade?

[whirlwindthrust]

If the other is also one that uses a weapon such as a polearm?

text

[ichoosefight]

That's good too! I'm looking for practice for myself mostly, and variety. You never know what's going to come at you, especially around here.

What weapon do you use?

[policedefective]

Well I have been getting rusty with swords...and I've never fought with someone who uses a staff before.

[ichoosefight]

Perfect! I've been thinking how many people around here probably use a sword.
