Hello, Genessia~! Ehehe, I've been so busy lately. If you live in Attleton, then uh. Hi! I'm Satou Kuroneko and I'll be assisting your Guardian team. Please let me know if you have any concerns, okay? I'm happy to help.

On that note. Uh, two things! I'm looking for some sparring partners. I can train all I want on my own, but I need to diversify my tactics and magical strategy so that I can face any kind of threat. Since Genessia captures so many interesting people, I'm sure I'll face off against things I've never even thought of... So if you have time to spar with me, please give me a call! I can pay some money? Orrrr wait. Is that weird?

And uh... I'm looking for a battle partner? Maybe a few? I can fight fine on my own, but I can only get better with a well trained partner, so... Let me know about that too.

[Anyone who is especially attentive may notice that Satou has been getting progressively more and more shy. It may be obvious that she's got another thought on her mind, but she hasn't decided if she should mention it... After all! It's rather childish and silly, and she's worried it will make people think less of her. Yet, finally, she decides to at least try.]

Ah um... and then... about... the p-prom... [She averts her gaze shyly. Should she say anything? She's trying to get respect here! Satou knows that being a teenage girl in appearance makes it hard to respect her ability to carry burdens like Detective or Assisting Guardians... Acting like a teenage girl might make it worse...!] 

... Is uh. I mean. I guess if I went, I'd be going alone... Is that... weird or... [Her voice trails off. Then she laughs it off and waves her hand.] I mean! What am I even thinking? I should be patrolling, not partying! Okie dokie! Sparring partners and battle partners! Thanks for your time~! I~ am gonna do my absolute best, I promise!

I may be able to help with the sparring thing. As for prom... I believe going alone is called 'going stag'? I've never been to one myself, so I can't be certain.

[priceofmagic]

If I go alone, I had might as well not go at all. Just watching is no fun...

I MEAN. WHO SAID I WAS-- Sparring, ohoh, yes! Ahaha. What kind of fighting do you do?

[notquitedracula]

That would make two of us going alone, if I went too. I wasn't actually planning on going, though...

A little of everything. Any weapon you care to name, magic, hand to hand... I've got a pretty diverse skill set.

What about prom?

[It is something she wishes she herself could go to, but she knows better. No one will ask her.]

[priceofmagic]

Ahhh~ N-Nothing! Just, ya know... It's interesting. I never got to go to prom back home, so... I-I'm just curious~.

[innocent_royal]

As am I. I wish I could go, as I never been to one, but... I can't. For quite a few reasons...

[astralera]

Hello, Miss Kuroneko. I am Era.

I may be able to spar with you if you wish.

[priceofmagic]

Really? Is that okay?

I'd appreciate it!

[astralera]

If your intent is to learn and improve, then yes. I don't see an issue with it.

You use magic, but are you familiar with methods of physical combat as well?

[hot_handed]

Why would anyone want to spar with you, pink cheeks?

[priceofmagic]

Pink cheeks?! [She's.... flattered? Wait, Satou, no.] Oh! And because I'm a strong witch. I'm good at training, too!

[hot_handed]

If you're so strong then why are you so desperate you gotta pay people to train with you?

[But if she really uses magic, that could be a challenge he could learn from...]

[yuusha_ni_naru]

"Yuna Yuki, reporting in! Hi there, Kuroneko-san! How's the day treating you?"

Such a tone suggest intense familiarity for this stranger she literally just met. A cheerful face pops up on the feed! The redhead's in high spirits, it seems, to make a new friend...

"I'd be happy to help you out with sparring or anything else! I've only just got here, so I'd really like to get to know some of the familiar faces around here! I guess if you're assiting these Guardian people, you must really be important..."

She adjusts herself a little. Seems she's still in the Commons for now, from the look of the room.

"Then again, I guess we can just hang out, if you have time from...Guardiany stuff. I'm decently fit for my age - even if I've got a soft spot for sweets and udon - and I mostly fight hand-to-hand. I'm not that great with actual weapons, but one of my friends back home is more of a sword kind of girl...dunno if you two'd get along."

Yeah, if Karin was here, she'd probably grumble at her long-winded delivery. Or storm out in a huff. Either way, Yuna continues...

"A-anyway, offer's open. I'd be happy to meet you, anyway!"

[priceofmagic]

[Satou is excited to see someone in someone in her age range! She beams back at Yuna, almost forgetting that she originally asked about sparring. All of that hanging out sounds even better than sparring..!!]

Nice to meet you! I’d love to do... all of that, actually! My hand-to-hand combat could use some practice~!

[yuusha_ni_naru]

"That's great, my pleasure! Just give me some directions, 'cause I don't want to get all lost somewhere and disappoint you. Don't need to pay me anything either, I'm just gonna do this because you need a helping hand."

A little peal of amused laughter from the red-headed girl as she keeps going...

"I know a bit of martial arts, but I've got a style all my own. You'll see when we meet up! I'm pretty excited!"

Maybe she shouldn't hold the camera so close, it's getting shaky, the way she's holding it!

"...How about you? What kind of fighting styles do you know about? If you're doing this kind of job, I'm pretty sure you know plenty, to help protect against anyone trying to cause trouble, right?"

[rejected_trash]

Who the hell cares about that prom?

[Certainly not Sync, who didn't have a date, and didn't plan to ask a soul.]

Why would it be weird to go alone?

Anyway. Training? Sparring? Battle Partners? Sure. I'm interested in that at least.

[priceofmagic]

W-Well...! I care, a bit... Just cuz I like ballroom dancing... I don’t get many chances to do that. [She sounds embarrassed. This is a girly thing to admit, especially to a stranger.] I like feeling in sync and relevant, or something.

But!!! But! T-Training is more important anyway! Heh~lloooo! Yes! Let’s train together! What kind of fighting do you do?!

[Audio]

[rejected_trash]

You like that stuffy high-living kind of thing...? I can respect wanting to feel relevant though, so who cares if someone asks or not, just go.

Down to business though; I'm a martial artist and a fonist. That apparently means magician or some such around here, what about you?

Remember that you make sure you get in plenty of time training without powers, too.

[ Yes, abrupt out-of-nowhere reminders. Part of the fun of dealing with Cassian. ]

[priceofmagic]

Yeeeees, sir! This girl Yuna is going to spar hand-to-hand with me! And Ms Era knows about a lot of different kinds of weaponry. I'm going to practice safely disarming people with her. There are so many amazing and talented people, so I hope it's contagious~.

Re: private video

[captain_by_the_book]

[ He blinks. Wow, that's a lot of enthusiasm. He's more used to eyerolls when he gets naggy like that. ]

That's good, thank you. I see you've got it all planned out already. Good work.

[yoyoofdoom]

Sparring partner? I can help with that!

Ah.. How much though?

[priceofmagic]

Um! Hmm... I could probably buy you like... food... or something neat in exchange? I don't know how much to pay for a sparring partner, actually.

[shirtlesspersona]

I'm more of a solo fighter, if that's what the battle partner thing is about. [ Sorry if hes mumbled, he just does that a lot... ]

But I am always up for picking fights! [ Wait, Zaveid, that probably sounds really bad, given how he peers at the video for a second. ]

Not. A serious fight, since you're a kid? [ Like he's not sure. Look, he's old? ]

[priceofmagic]

Eh~ Really? Is it that you solo fight, or that you don't have any partners here?

[She smiles confidently.] If it's not a serious fight, then I won't benefit from it.
