OPEN | so be easy and free,

[poleaxed]

WHO: Jone and thou
WHAT: jock stuff.
WHEN: Post Orzammar.
WHERE: The training yard & Tennis Court.
NOTES: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

a. FOR TRAINING.

If you need a sparring partner, Jone is at the main training yard during most daylight hours. She may have promised to work over some new techniques with you. She may have promised to assess your skills. She may have never spoken to you before, and you're just here to train.

For once, she isn't cajoling from the sidelines, trying to get new combatants. That doesn't make herself easy to miss, though. The self-described six-foot bitch, ginger hair shining in the sun, is always up for a go.

"Hullo, then. Let's get to it."

b. FOR TENNIS.

Or maybe you're here for another sort of skill. The Tennis Court is completed and ready, and Jone looks to be happily in her element. Shirt-sleeves peeled back to reveal solid muscle, she bounces a tennis ball against her racket, ready and waiting.

Maybe you were promised a match. Maybe you want a rematch. Maybe you're just curious. If you stare a second to long, Jone will wave you over. "Oi! We doing this or not, mate? If I stand out around much longer I'll start peeling."

c. FOR EVERYHING ELSE.

There's wildcard.

(I'm up for anything. If you're not sure, feel free to hmu.)

That's the thing about (some) mages, it's all magic, no stance, no defense. Jone dodges, and brings her pole up to give Ben a proper knock to the ribs.

Foolishly, he wasn't expecting it-- magic can grant the upper hand, but only sometimes. The impact merits a loud cough as Benedict doubles forward, dropping the staff again and clutching his middle. Nailed it.

"See?" Jone says, unworried by Benedict's flopping around. She didn't hit him hard enough to break anything. "We gotta combine that shit. Don't get distracted by your own magic."

[altusimperius]

"Ow," he wheezes, straightening slowly, hesitantly. "...what should I do, then? Wait for you to attack and then cast?"
A bit of a whine has crept into his queries, but he does, at least, by the way he resets his stance, seem as though he's taking it seriously.
