Funderland Fight club

[Seraphina]

Vincent was talking about bringing claws into the sparring? “Is it really sparring if weapons get introduced?” because that seemed to take it a bit past fun training. "Because again, if the wound is too severe, I need to pop into the Tavern to be of any real help with it. So keep that in mind." in no way stopping them, just making sure they knew.

Blinking a few times at the question, obviously in thought, “You know, I’m not sure. I’ve only been called in a few times, and one was to bring someone back from the brink of death. But all his limbs were attached. You know, lets not test that until I’ve looked into it.” Cause that seems like it might be outside her Order.

“More athletic? I can totally do that. Will probably be more interesting to me then lifting weights anyways. But yah, consider that done.” She loved advice, and always took it…usually.

Anything that cut was nasty in a fight. Her own Mein will cut in close combat, but she doesn’t get to show that often. Cause talking her way out of a fight was her thing. “Works for me. I’m gonna take a couple more swings at it while you guys work your thing out.” A smirk and wink.

But there was nothing to the punch she threw, maybe she was more intent on watching the fight?

[Vincent Black]

Vincent looks to Seraphina, "Sparring with weapons is indeed a thing. But I would not be using them tonight, like I said, I do not want to hurt anyone more than we have to while sparring. In fact, sparring should really do little to no physical damage. It's not like we are having an actual fight club match. We are just using each other to get practice in with an actual person instead of a dummy or" points to the bag "you know, a punching bag."

At the suggestion of her being more athletic, "Yeah, strength is not the only thing that is valuable in a fight, speed, and awareness are helpful as well. If you are fast enough, you can dodge a lot of hits that you really should not take. And awareness will allow you to see those attacks coming in."

Vincent looks to Kray "Honestly I want to see how I can go against your hits, if you want to attack me let me see if I can dodge what you deal."

[Kray]

He shrugs massive shoulders. 'Hm. You have to learn somehow so I would have to guess weapon sparring happens.' But this Ogre wasn't a big one for hand held weapons. 'Taking some bruises is fine.' His view on sparring. 'Otherwise you don't try and get better.' Whatever better looks like. 'But I'm not trying to break bones today.' I would have put some glamour behind the punch if that was the aim.

Okay so best not risk it. 'And on that note I'll keep everything attached.' Keep it in check he isn't dinner.

He nods. Good. 'Hm. well put.' Agreeing with Vincent. 'There are plenty of ways to fight. I just know mine the best.' He had wondered if Sarah would be a good fit for his way of brawling but it didn't matter if not. It never hurts to have it in the back pocket if all else fails. 'Try doing something more intense then you currently do daily. Get use to the movement, stretching, motion.' If that's the route we're going seems like a solid plan. 'Sounds good, keep at it Sarah, it won't be something you get immediately.' Anyone can through a punch but to throw a good one took time.

Attention going mainly back to Vincent. Kray reflexes for a moment. 'Alright dodge this and I'll try swinging a punch again.' Then lunges for the Hunter Heart, pushing himself forward from a standing start, arms go wide again trying to close around him like a vice from left and right.

[Seraphina]

Shrugging, “I’ve had sparring sessions both with and without weapons. And have left injured and uninjured.” So yeah, been there…done that. There were times she felt like others assumed because of her looks that she had never been injured or in a fight. Which was why she pushed to increase her abilities, because those were the ones who could be caught off guard if it came down to it.

“Dodging for me personally, is handled in other ways.” But she wasn’t opposed to working on it without Contracts.

Broken bones were an easy fix, but she got what Kray was going for, well, not going for.

Smirking with a chuckle, “Yeah, at least until I can look into it more.” Which would entail what exactly? Contacting the Order and asking them? Or searching the Skein for someone who needed a limb regrown?

Another smirk, “Are they really the best? Because I’ve heard that from numerous others, all thinking their way of fighting is the superior technique.” She wasn’t doubting he was very successful, and brutal, in a fight. But it was common among fighters to think they were better.

Understanding it was going to take time and effort wasn’t unfamiliar to the Treasured.

[Vincent Black]

Vincent thought he was prepared for the attack but was shocked when the Ogre came at him for a grapple, he was expecting a punch.

This is far from the restrained one arm hug Kray returned to Vincent at solstice the Ogre locks one harm arm Vincent's torso to keep his arms pinned and uses a send grip around his stomach to lift him clear of the ground. 'ARH.'

'Sarah.' Kray is exerting effort to keep the hunter heart in his power. 'If you.' Squeezes. 'Want to be safe.' Turns to face her. 'Check the grip.' Vincent swinging with him. 'Getting a hold offers control.' To main or delay.

He turns his head to look down at Vincent. His teeth only inches away from Vincent's face, each is larger even in his large head, all are canines made to rip meat and he has several to many. As he grins Vincent has a front row seat into what gives Gristle grinders their name. 'You good Vincent?'

[Seraphina]

Eyes watch the events unfold, unsure of just what was going to happen.

And, well, whelp, Vincent seemed just as surprised. What she was witnessing, and what poor Vincent was experiencing was one hell of a lesson.

While she heard Krays voice say her name, it took her a few seconds to register he was trying to point something out to her. Couple blinks later and she was more focused. “Oh, uh, ok.” Check the grip? Why would checking the grip help her? She was tall, but not as tall, well, not Kray fucking tall and no way she could do what he was doing. But yah, sure, she’d look, cause, well, he said to.

“Looks like one hell of a grip.” Having no clue what to say. “And I can see how it could be very useful.” Just not something she could physical do. "If one has the ability to do that anyways." because lets face it, Sera was not about to be able to do that. Control an opponent through other means? Absolutely, she had that in spades. With sheer power? Nope.

[Kray]

Seems I'm bad a teaching. Kray shakes the still immobilised Vincent. 'No. Not what I meant.' He turns to try and emphasise certain points. A hard task with a full grown person in his arms. 'See. Look how I control his arms. Restrict his movement.' Of course most people can't do it this way exactly. 'That's the take away.' He checks on Vincent again his sparring partner seemed to have gone oddly quiet for the moment. Still conscious. 'I use size and strength yes.' Because I have them. 'It's what I know. But the same can be achieved other ways.' We just need to figure how you can do that. 'Holds, locks and the like.' Like on the Olympics, they have a couple different types of fighting.

At this point he lets Vincent down and releases his grip. See you can pick someone up and not take chunks out of them. He looks oddly happy with himself.

'So. Next time you come in for Hug, you know what to expect. Hey Vincent.' Wondering if the hunter would be so reckless around him now he's felt some of what the Ogre had to offer.

[Vincent Black]

Vincent just lets Kray continue what he would consider a bear hug. Knowing full well that he would not be able to escape this hold as Kray is a lot stronger than he is.

"Hey man just don't squeeze so hard that you break something." Vincent squeaks out between haggard breaths.

[Seraphina]

Head tilts as she listens and looks, “Huh.” Other ways? “Other ways might be better for me,” a laugh, “I don’t think I can be as successful in what you’ve done.” Nope. “If it’s holds and things like that, maybe Sonnie can teach me something. She’s a master with kung fu, and was teaching me to use my dagger. Maybe she has some tricks up her sleeve that I might be able to pull off. Something suited for my build and muscle level.” Which was pretty much at zero. “But I can see how useful that is in a fight, thank you for showing me.” And she sounded grateful. But no way she would be able to do that.

As Vincent speaks, “Broken bones are a simple fix.” She jokes, kinda. It wasn’t a joke to her, they were easy to fix, but she was trying to be upbeat.

“So how would it have gone if he had been able to dodge? What would a good counter for it be?” asking both guys.
