[yourotherleft]

So I guess last week answers one of my questions. You guys still got the 'weird shit happens at random every once in a while' thing here, too, eh? Guess it could've been worse. It's not like anyone had their worst nightmares broadcast in public or anything.

['sup citizens coming at you live from the seashore in Fayren]

I don't really care, though. I'm just here to find out who's up for a fight. I like to stay fresh and this whole new world is full of people I ain't fought yet. Swordsmen preferred. Marines can sit this one out. [AHEM] Don't waste my time if you can't keep up with me.

I'll be here at the docks most mornings.

[after that, well, he'll be lost somewhere in Fayren. As a Zoro do.

But he will genuinely be down at the Fayren harbor with his blades, fishing to pass the time and obviously enjoying himself at it, leaned up against a barrel with the line hanging in the water and no extra effort expended to actually catch anything. He could just as easily nap here, but this was where he said he'd meet people who wanted to spar. As relaxed as he looks, there is definitely a tension in his posture suggesting that he's waiting. Anyone who tries to sneak up on him might find themselves noticed a second before they can speak and one good eye shifted their way as if to ask "are you here for a fight?"]

I had not known you were a swordsman!

[ SHOCK AND AWE. YAS. MORE PEOPLE TO PRACTICE WITH.

...

Provided that Law doesn't tell her off for trying whoops...

...

Well, maybe she won't tell Law just this once. Like she did the last time. Surely it's been long enough, right? ]

Perhaps you would allow me to test my blade against yours?

[Video]

[yourotherleft]

Oh...yeah, I guess I didn't mention that last time. I kinda had other more important things on my mind.

You're a swordsman too?

[Video]

[enchantressofore]

In a sense, though it has been some time since I have practiced truly against another person.

I am... Sorry, I was a blacksmith by trade, and one of the best ways to test a newly forged blade was in a sparring match. If it was not a blade my uncle or I could trust our lives with, it was not worthy to sell.

[Video]

[yourotherleft]

Ah. So not really trained or anything.

What, just not any good opportunities around here? That would suck. I'm looking for a lot of sparring partners, but if there aren't any, that's gonna be hard.

[swordprincess]

[Hey Zoro, how about a swordswoman?]

So, you seek an opponent to test your blade against? I may be able to provide.

[Video]

[yourotherleft]

[hey he don't discriminate...]

Yeah? Good. My swords need a good workout so they don't get rusty. Think you can keep up with me?

[Video]

[swordprincess]

[Her smile only widens.]

It shouldn't be a problem.

[She's actually wondering if he can keep up with her, but she'd rather find out personally, rather than wasting time with taunts. Then again, this guy could be one of those with super powers, too.]

[Video]

[yourotherleft]

All right. Come down to Fayren, then. There's not much else going on here.

[and he is pretty obvious even if he never gives his name. Green hair, scarred eye? He stands out even in Fayren.]

[strawberrypenguin]

The nightmare thing was last year.

[Because he clearly remembered that and never wanted to relive it again anytime soon... Mostly because it in part of actually come true.]

But sadly can't help you with the fighting thing.

video;

[yourotherleft]

...oh, shit. I was mostly kidding, but it really happened?

Oops.

video;

[strawberrypenguin]

Yeah, people had to face there own fears. Thankfully it was only based in Fayren though or else it might have gone out of control.

[He shrugged slightly.]

It was last year, a lot of people are over it at this point, I think.

video;

[yourotherleft]

Yeah, okay, well. Good for that, then.

[not going to make any other suggestions of examples, he doesn't want to jinx it]

[video][action]

[ssbardock]

I heard you were looking for a sparring partner?

I'm always up for a good fight.

[yourotherleft]

Yeah, I am. What've you got?

[in his last adventure he went up against Vegeta, and holy damn is getting similar vibes off this guy. Ooooooohhhhhh...]

[ssbardock]

Let's say I can fight good. [smirks if only a bit]

I'm a Saiyan. You'll have to find out in a real fight. I'm not spoiling what you are up against.

[yourotherleft]

Ohhh I've heard that word before. It was a while ago, though. Toughest guy I ever fought said he was prince of saiyans or some shit like that.

Fair warning, though, I use swords. So if you're not interested in getting cut, that's on you.

[herbarium]

I’m not a swordsman but… [ she most certainly knows someone back in her world who was a good one; but that is besides the point. shiemi smiles, nodding at the feed, before waving. ] Can I train with you? Or is this a full-blown fight?

[video]

[yourotherleft]

[squints at his phone]

It's gonna be pretty full-blown, yeah. I don't hold back when I fight, even if it's just a sparring match.

[herbarium]

That’s exactly what I need! Let’s just call it a sparring match, then. I don’t want to get killed…

…but I don’t like it when people hold back on me. It makes me feel really weak.

[Video]

[youfool]

Oh? Why not marines? I know at least one who looks like he could give any man a run for his money.

Well, at any rate I'm a swordsman, and would love another spar! Then I can get your opinion on something.

[OOC: Ted's very good for a normal person, but against an OP (One Piece, though overpowered works too), probably not so much. I leave it up to you how badly he gets whooped.]

[Video]

[yourotherleft]

'Cause I just don't feel like it, all right? I know how tough they are already and I don't really care.

Fine, bring it on, then.

[he'll be at the seaside in Fayren as promised, so interrupt his fishing at your leisure, Ted.]

Re: [Video]->[Action]

[youfool]

[he finds your nonchalance disturbing, Zoro. Oh well! He'll interrupt him very soon; no more than an hour. No reason to sit on these things.

Ted showed up, brightly dressed with chainmail and other armor underneath. Safety first. In his hands lies a bastard sword that, to the keen eye, exudes slight, wintry vapors.]

Hello!

[om_nom_namur]

[Aw shit, not again. Namur was just coming back from his own fishing endeavors, and noticed the line hanging down. Figuring he'd just mess with the angler a little bit, he grabs the line above the hook and gives it a good yank- but the hook lodges itself in the sleeve of his shirt. His subsequent attempts to break free go as well as one might expect, and if Zoro's bothering to reel in his line, he'll eventually find he's caught himself one glaring fishman, hands tied together in the most ridiculous knots of fishing string.]

[yourotherleft]

[anyone else might not be able to haul in that kind of prize, but Zoro takes it as a personal challenge, gleefully straining to reel in whatever's on the other end and taunting it when it fights.]

Come on! Oh no you don't. You're gonna be dinner for a couple of hungry pirates. Heh! At this rate you might be big enough to feed more then just Luffy! Get back here, c'mon....

...NAMUR?!

[whoops]

[om_nom_namur]

[Hangs there from his wrists. His tone, like the expression on his face, is deadpan.]

Either a y' chuckleshits so much as licks me, I'mma bite yer faces off.
