    Well, the witch princess hoped she wouldn't suck too badly at combat training, but her father wanted her to hold this, so she would. She took a bit of time before the class calming herself by applying red and white warpaint to her body -- the end result was a spiraling pattern of tribal marks along her face, back legs, and all four wings. But that was all she managed to finish, for today was supposed to be training, not an extended class on war painting, as she'd already done that a few days ago for the commune guild.


    With a sigh, the kitsune called out, "Combat training! The Blackheart Rogues should be along shortly -- while we're all just standing about, waiting for things to begin, let me explain the rules of engagement for this practice. You will all arrange yourself into teams, comprising of at least one SunClanner and one Rogue with no mind paid towards uneven amounts of either. No blood will be drawn, no major wounds inflicted; if I see any bullshit like that, I will personally come over and pour an experimental fur-color-change potion on the offender's head. Beyond that, no rules; the spar is a free-for-all, just as it will be on the battlefield." She did happen to have a few vials of her potion with her, but she doubted they would have any weird side-effects. Her rats seemed to like the taste of them enough, anyway, even when their fur turned the most dreaded shade of bright pink.

    Hinata, instantaneously distracted from whatever task he had put himself up to, turned with wide eyes and pointed ears toward the painted up vampire as she called out directions to a crowd lingering, but not yet formed. A feeling close to giddiness shot through the samurai at the announcement, the edges of his mouth creeping upward eagerly; combat training was right up his alley! She went over the rules and, of course, he listened, though before he could fully approach Hinata had to turn to the sword holstered at his side. For an event with likely little to do with weapons and no major injuries allowed, the glinting metal of the blade might not be preferred. Therefore, he spun on his heel and darted away, returning his beloved blade to the safest location he could muster before returning with a wooden, sheathed practice sword in tow.


    He trotted merrily up to Azazel and sat down in wait, determined smile stretched over his scarred maw. "This'll be great." he mused to the air, optimism almost required for an event no one could predict the outcome to. Regardless, Hinata sat there in wait, paws rhythmically tapping the ground idly.

    Coming up besides Hinata was the Flame Regent, her eyes trained on the younger male and offering him a smile. He was awfully cute, and almost... familiar, in a sense. Then, she turned to Azazel, wondering how the Arcanium family was so good at everything they did. Sure, Robin herself was in the Commune and Medicine guilds as well, but she didn't really know anything about those, she just joined because of Suga.


    "I'm ready," The femme taunted, a coy grin sent to the others.

    leviathan was not a team player and tended to prefer work that was independent especially when it came to fighting. yet, since this was one-on-one instead of working side by side, the male had decided to join in the training. the short muscular had been trudging nearby, his mind rather blank and empty ever since he had found out about judgementday's death. it had struck him pretty hard since the dragon had been his mentor and now, he didn't have one to train him. it didn't really matter since levi was a quick learner yet that the murder of the dragon had impacted him in a heavy way. upon hearing the familiar voice of azazel, his deadpanned bullet gray eyes flickered towards the direction where the painted kitsune was at, explaining all the information. so it was the blackheart rouges versus sunclan? guessing he should improve in knowing different forms of battle techniques, the young prince headed to slip beside his clanmates.


    the warden's titanium glare narrowed at the direction of azazel, clearly still holding a grudge at what she had done to him. just the thought caused his small fangs to ache yet the male arcanium tore his gaze to glare at nothing in particular, already bored out of his mind. he wondered who he would be up against as he slightly unsheathed his claws to softly stretch them in silence. hopefully things would go well and the japanese bobtail would go against someone good.

    ♥ Suga had known that his eldest daughter was not too experienced in the field of battle, but that was precisely why he'd asked her to do it. A war was at their ankles and he needed all of his high positions to be in the head space of battle, including those who spent most of their time as a medic. Upon arrival, the Commander sent a nod of approval the young catsune's way, excited for the combat training she'd set up. Teams going at each other like this was a battlefield were much more necessary now than one on one sparring was. He settled himself on what would be their pretend battlefield and awaited further instruction.

    Something told Aegis that this was going to suck.


    Like her brother, she preferred to work independently especially when training, though sparring was an exception. She found that having a 'study partner' dragged her down- it was often grating to hear NPCs she had befriended in the past drone on about their own problems when they should be studying. It seemed that nobody else was as serious about this kind of stuff like she was, but perhaps Azazel's little training exercise would be different. Judging from a quick glance around the area, others quite skilled in combat would be participating as well, giving the young feline an opportunity to evaluate herself. Her pale fur stood slightly on edge as her soft ears flicked around, alert. They were telltale signs that Aegis was nervous- after all, screwing this up would give her clanmates a bad impression of herself. She stared up at Azazel with intense golden eyes, her muscles aching for a fight.


    I CLOSE MY EYES AND DREAM THAT I'M AWAKE

    kenai denali / blackheart rogues / ♀ / brown husky

    *:･ﾟ✦ "Hello," Kenai greeted Jelloshots as she took a seat next to her. She was still recovering from her long journey to BHR so she wouldn't be participating today. However, she still came along to show her support for her new clanmates.


    "Speech."


    FOURTHWALL FALLOUT

    leader of the blackheart rogues



    "JUST BECAUSE WE CHECK OUT GUNS AT THE DOOR"

    Sunclan wasn't a territory I was overly familiar with, but I'd managed to lead my group to the spot we'd been told to meet at. A few of my members were still catching up, having gotten distracted by the new sights and people- we were a social bunch, after all, despite the anticlan status we held. So, I'd make my way over to take a seat beside Kenai, nodding a greeting at whichever Sunclanners took an interest in saying hello. "Thanks for having us, Suga. The rest of my group should be here in a few." I'd say , hoping they weren't too long. I was actually looking forward to this event, probably because fighting was the one thing I accelled at and therefor could enjoy. And besides, I was curious to see how the battles with Bloodclan had shaped these individuals, because anyone who was forced to bear the brunt of border executions, child kidnappings, random murder, and the other chaotic crap brought on by an anticlan had to have grown a certain set of armor in order to survive it.

    PLEASE NOTE;; Fourthwall is known to break the 4th wall, as his name suggests. He is a person who -instead of gods or reincarnation- thinks that he is just a character made up in a story, and so nothing he says or does has any real consequence. This allows him to suppress emotions like guilt or hesitation in order to enrich his life, as he believes that nobody is actually real, and so none of the bad things he does to others in order to enjoy himself are real either. He will often refer to his 'Writer' during 1st person posts and complain about the way they write him or his story, and is convinced that the entire world and FF's reality is just some big story.

    FLIRTING WITH DISASTER

    fall / sunclan member / ♂ / tags & information

    *:･ﾟ✦ fall was late. it was quite aggravating, actually, for the youth despised others lacking promptness almost as much as hypocriticalness and here he was, managing to pull off the act of both in one miraclious swoop. however, despite his inner conflict the creature with a gaze of rose and sky came forth with utter coolness to his movements. it seems as if though he were owning the fact in which he was one of the last of sunclan to arrive, offering a suave smile to fourth wall as the other took instant note of the leader. this one was quite chaotic, fall noted, capable of telling by the look in the other's eyes. an off-putting smile spread upon thin lips- how intriguing.


    Trotting up after Fourthwall, as his apprentice should she supposed, the she-wolf tilted her head to the side as she surveyed the SunClanners. They seemed war-weary, tired in ways that she hadn't even expected; the Rogues lived for the fight and rush of combat through their veins. The fact BloodClan and ColouredClan raided them almost seemed to be a matter of pride for her homeland... and, she had to wonder, would they end up looking like these SunClanners by the end of a few months of real war? She didn't know. But she'd do her damn best to make sure they kept going, regardless.


    Her golden gaze turned to Azazel now, as it seemed so many people here looked to that creature in particular. With a flick of her ear, she heard the announcements and found herself itching to get started.

    Skin crawling as she noticed just how many eyes were on her, the kitsune took a moment to breath in deeply. It wouldn't be a good reflection on her homeland to these strangers if she wavered so easily in front of them, after all. Still, she knew this was the first time she was holding anything like this. But it wasn't the first time she came face to face with the reality of war -- Ximen was the one that had that honor, after all.


    "Alright, looks like we have a pretty even spread here. I'll announce the teams: once you find your partner, or partners, get ahead and launch yourself into battle. If you're just chatting, that's when I add some variability to the mix," she spoke with a upward tilt of her chin, not wanting this training to fizzle and die so easily, as ones she'd seen in the past had done. She wouldn't allow the first meeting between her home and these battle-hardened strangers end like that. "Remember, this is training. I'll be intentionally pairing up less experienced with those that are experienced from the opposite Clans. Don't beat each other up." With that final announcement, she'd get started with the teams.


    "Our first group is comprised of: Jelloshots , AEGIS ARCANIUM , and Apocalypticlove . Second: Fourthwall Fallout , LEVI ARCANIUM , and TESTERAL . Third, we have: ROBIN LEONIDAS , BLANK , and neotokyo simul stamus . Our last pairing is: SUGA ARCANIUM and regvlr (Kenai). Any questions?" she spoke with a slight tilt of her head. Perhaps that needed repeating.

    [ im slightly confused lmao are all four teams supposed to fight each other, or are the members supposed to spar with the other members on their team? also - i don't think kenai is participating so maybe suga could be paired with guillotine? ]

    [We have a few more members that will probably pop in, it's just been a bit slow because a lot of people have had camp and other activities they've had to do this last week or so. Osric! Zeidia Splatterparty @Seiji if any of you guys want in before we start]

    Zeidia padded forward stuttering words out of her mouth, "Suga, Fourthwall, my family, how are you this fine day?" Smiling like an idiot she sat down, waiting for the event to begin. She wasn't great at sparring but she was a Shadow of The Blackheart Rouges, so she had to have strengths, right?
