Wellspring Arms and Meditation Center: Monday

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

It was your normal Monday and Worf had everything organized in the store. He was completely ready to spend the day not selling anything to potential customers.

Which he was pretty sure that it wasn't supposed to work that way but he'd been here long enough to know not to ask any questions.

Bug Worf

Because really that's what he's there for...

Kennedy sauntered in with both hands wrapped around the hilt of the broadsword over her shoulder and a cocky expression that would likely get knocked right off her face, maybe literally, really soon.

"Whoa," she said, already entertaining notions of giving her dad's credit card a workout as she took a long look around the store. That was another notion she'd probably end up disabused of really quickly. "What strings did you have to pull to get a job in this place?"

[[sp is probably going to be a thing. sorry!]]

Re: Bug Worf

"I was here almost every day to use the meditation area," Worf replied frankly. "And then asked for a job. However none of it is for sale."

[SP is win. No apologies needed]

Re: Bug Worf

[brat_inslayage]

Yep, quickly. Like, new world record quickly. "Why the hell not? It is a store, right?"

Stores. Not selling things. DID NOT COMPUTE. If you were to put a caption under the look on Kennedy's face right now that would probably be it right there.

"It's... different," Worf replied and pulled out his bat'leth from behind the counter. "Are you ready to train?"

Re: Bug Worf

[brat_inslayage]

"Different is one way to put it," Kennedy muttered. "Pssh, yeah, what did you think?"

She twitched the hilt of the sword and smirked. "Or did you think this was some fancy new accessory I just brought along for the hell of it?"

She'd actually thought of bringing down her crossbow instead? But even Kennedy could tell that shooting sharp things at your roommate wasn't conducive to a relatively peaceful living situation.

"You'd be surprised what some people carry for personal protection," Worf replied and gestured for Kennedy to follow him into the meditation room. "Especially on this island."

Re: Bug Worf

[brat_inslayage]

Hey. Kennedy so didn't follow. Okay, she did. She just wouldn't say that was what she was doing.

"It's not about personal protection," she said, falling in step behind him. God, Kennedy, shut up about that already. "But sure, it's a protection thing, okay. Like what, are you going to tell me there could be someone who carries around green Jell-O just in case of attack by something with a gelatin-based weakness?"

Stopping in shops of note to browse and determine usefulness was one way Dimitri was keeping himself busy. The weaponry shop was first on his list. Lucky Worf.

Dimitri entered and took a moment to survey the contents. If he was amazed, it didn't show on his face.

Re: Bug Worf

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

Worf looked up at the entrance and nodded at Dimitri.

"Can I help you?"

Re: Bug Worf

[guardian-god.livejournal.com]

"Just browsing. This is quite a selection you offer," he remarked, voice lightly accented. Worf himself was a rather interesting part of the shop and Dimitri's eyes took note of that as well.

Re: Bug Worf

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"Unfortunately most of it is not for sale," Worf replied gruffly as he noted the accent. "You are Russian?"

Re: Bug Worf

[guardian-god.livejournal.com]

"I am," he agreed, finding it curious the weapons were not for sale. "I don't suppose you're going to tell me you are as well?"

Re: Bug Worf

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"//No,//" he replied in Russian. "//But my adoptive parents were.//"

Re: Bug Worf

[guardian-god.livejournal.com]

That was surprising, and Dimitri smiled while replying, "//And they taught you well. Did you spend time in the country?//"

Meditate

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

Or spar. Or both.

Re: Meditate

[brat_inslayage]

"Not a bad setup," Kennedy commented. She took a long look around the room and nodded. Not as fancy as the training suite in the first floor of the east wing (otherwise known as "Kennedy's Stomping Grounds On The Rare Occasion That She's Home") back in New York, but definitely just as functional if not more.

This happened to be the broadsword she wasn't supposed to be using yet, because she wasn't ready to. Therefore, because Constance wouldn't let her practice much with it, it was clearly the one she had to pick today. She stepped clear--she wasn't entirely stupid, and cutting off limbs would be highly counterproductive--and took a few careful test swings.

Re: Meditate

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"It serves its purpose," Worf said as he studied her stance and approach. "What forms of combat have you studied?"

Re: Meditate

[brat_inslayage]

Kennedy took another swing, making it obvious she was an amateur with a blade this length. "My W-- teacher made me learn all kinds of stuff. Some Tae Kwon Do, some jujitsu, karate. I don't remember if there was a name for the swordwork." She'd been in a particularly gleeful phase of being difficult at the time.

Re: Meditate

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"The type of swing you are making are inappropriate for that type of weapon," Worf said bluntly as he moved into a stance with his bat'leth. "I can show you something that might work better.

Re: Meditate

[brat_inslayage]

Kennedy opened her mouth to object. But again, might be best not to piss off the gigantic roommate with the sharp pointy whatinthehellwasthatbesideswickedcool thing.

"Sure," she said a bit diffidently, shrugging one shoulder and trying to look casual. "I'm all about getting better."

That much was true. She just kind of hated looking dumb in the process.

Re: Meditate

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"Observe my stance," Worf commented. "It will allow a full range of movement and allow several different attacks."

Worf then began to move through the katas of mok'bara specifically for a sword/bat'leth as an example.

Which also looked a lot like Tae Kwon Do.

Re: Meditate

[brat_inslayage]

This was the part where Kennedy actually got over herself long enough to pay attention. Self-avowed pain in the ass or not, she really did want to be good at this stuff. She watched him intently for a minute or two, pretending not to be quite so attentive but shifting her feet into the same stance.

"Hey. That looks kinda familiar, actually."

Shooting Range

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

If you've gotten permission.

OOC:

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

Annnnnd yes, the weapons aren't for sale. And if you want to use the shooting range you'll need to get permission from spring_lost in some sort of capacity.

The meditation room is lopen for all to use.
