Fandom Fight Club, Atlas Gym. Sunday Evening [7.5]

[atreideslioness]

It was the start of another semester, which meant the rules were once again displayed prominantly on the doors to the gym.

Rules of Fandom Fight Club
1. What happens here, stays here. We can't keep the squirrels out, but if somebody tells you something on the mat, you don't repeat it off the mat.
2. No weapons or powers unless everyone knows in advance and is fighting within their grouping.
3. No shoes.
4. If someone says "stop" or goes limp, the fight is over.
5. Two people to a fight.
6. Fights go on as long as they have to.
7. No tourists. If you need to take a week to see what this is like, cool, but no coming back just to watch. You wanna watch, get a TV; here, everybody fights.
8. No fighting if you're sick or injured. You wanna screw up your body, you do it on your own time.
9. The organizers reserve the right to remove you from the club at any time for violation of these rules.

"Good evening," Ghanima said cheerfully as people arrived, Tyler standing beside her. "For anyone lurking in the back that is new, welcome to Fandom Fight Club. The purpose of this group is catharsis and self-improvement through unarmed combat. There is absolutely nothing wrong with therapeutic violence - no matter what the armchair shrink of the week says - and this place is here to provide you with that option."

"Since yesterday was a holiday and today all the students are moving to the cabins, we're skipping the randomly assigned fights. We don't want to put anyone on the floor who is not capable of performing at their best."

"So find a new friend, and hit them. Those of you who want to work on your skills, you know where to find me. Now shoo."

Comments

Mingle

[atreideslioness]

Chatter about what you did yesterday, watch the other people fight, or try to freak out the new kids.

[bitchprince]

Arthur was there, with no particular intention to freak anyone out. In fact, he was mostly just keeping an eye out for Morgana. If she was going to insist on this, then he was going to watch her like a hawk the whole way through.

After all the pancakes Claire had eaten yesterday, she definitely decided to come to Fight Club. She was hoping to find someone to spar with.

Jon was hanging around by the wall. He was thinking it would be stretching day.

Re: Mingle

[kestrelswolf.livejournal.com]

As usual, Firekeeper and Blind Seer were just sprawled on the mats, not stretching.

Re: Mingle

Deadpool was there and bouncy. He really wanted to see if maybe a gangwar would start here.

...that made sense to him. Honest.

Re: Mingle

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

Griff took a seat on the mats, listening to the people around him as he stretched out.

Re: Mingle

Max was looking pretty relaxed. This was not a new thing, and might even be considered the normal state of affairs for the man.

Which didn't change the fact that he definitely looked it.

Re: Mingle

It was shaping up to be a good weekend, and now? Sparring? Great!

Re: Mingle

Harper went through her usual stretch routine as she kept an eye out for any of the new kids.

Re: Mingle

[intraspective]

She leaned against the wall, eyes half-closed as she studied who all had shown up.

Re: Mingle

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

Elena pulled her hair up into a loose ponytail and glanced around the room. Fight club. She wondered how serious you were allowed to get, here. Some of the people on this island had to be heavy hitters. She hadn't had a good spar in too long.

It would have felt weird to be anywhere else on Sunday evening so Rose was at Fight Club. She'd jogged down from the cabins, and now was just staying warm more than stretching as she watched the bouts.

Re: Mingle

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

Hoshi had heard plenty about Fight Club from her friends. At the time, she didn't think she needed it, but recent events had convinced her otherwise. She stretched out carefully, not wanting to pull a muscle after not having properly worked out for a week.

Re: Mingle

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

Jennifer was here, of course, even more vigilant then ever. She was definitely feeling a passion for things, lately.

Re: Mingle

It had been a bit of an off weekend for Daisy; she wasn't sure why, but it felt almost as if she hadn't gotten a thing done at all. She settled easily on the mats, though,s tarting to stretch for the start of the club, excited to maybe see some new people around.

Re: Mingle

[future_sandworm]

Leto was here as usual, watching the people gathered and debating with himself whether to today was a good day for a spar, and in if it was with whom.

Re: Mingle

[cutsthestrings.livejournal.com]

Fiona wasn't all that interested in hitting people today, but she was curious as to who of the new people might show up.

Re: Mingle

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle had gotten back into Fandom not too long ago from a super-ultra handwavey trip home for all of the Fourth of July stuff, which made her feel both incredibly proud and a little bit sad. Still,s he tried not to think about it as she stretched out for fight club.

Jack hung out and looked around. Kids shouldn't be fighting like this -- they were kids, and should get to BE kids.

On the other hand, it was hella fun.

Training Area

[atreideslioness]

Ghanima is over on the beginner mats, teaching various Muay Thai strikes that are fairly easy to learn.

There's also punching bags, for those who need to work out some aggression before trying to play well with others.

Re: Training Area

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

Claire was there to learn whatever Ghanima was teaching this week.

Open Sparring

[atreideslioness]

You know the rules, now go have fun.

Re: Open Sparring

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

Triela just headed straight out to the mats. For some reason she was feeling focused. Well, more focused than usual.

Talk to the Organizers

[atreideslioness]

Wait until they tag in.

Re: Talk to the Organizers

[atreideslioness]

Ghanima was around, and more than happy to assist anyone that needed her.

[I'm going to be out from 11-3CST, and will pick up tags this evening]

OOC

[atreideslioness]

Posters will go up around town this week to notify the newbies about FFC, but if you want to have handwavily heard about it via someone else, that's fine.

OOC information is here, and the sign-up is here. We need to know if your character will be in Group One or Group Two for Great RNG Justice.

OOC: The RNG Edition

[atreideslioness]

Comment here to be taken out of next week's RNG.

Re: OOC: The RNG Edition

[solo_sword]

Omg totally forgot to comment here. Jaina'll still be canon catchupping, so no RNG for her this week.
