Video || Doing 'Homework'

Subject: Ranma being nosy inquisitive of other worldly techniques and fighting styles cause dad said so.
Warnings: Probably none? Maybe potential discussion of fighting/violence? TBD

[Kaveh had assigned him "homework" to do in regards to training and teaching. And even if he's not happy about getting chastised over an honest mistake, the architect raised a few good points. Training purposes aside, the whole prospect of other worlds with other fighters caught his fancy a long while ago. So clearly, he didn't need to be told to do this!

So here he is, after first mulling it over whether it should be text or video before just flipping heads or tails for it, sitting in the quarter of a ship at a desk, tapping the eraser end of a pen against his chin.]


Yo. [Ranma gave a terse nod while leaning back in his seat.] There's something that's been on my mind for a while now. A lot of us are from different worlds or universes or whatever. That'd mean a lot of us might have different styles or methods to use when in a fight. As a martial artist, a practitioner of Anything Goes Martial Arts, and potential instructor in the future, part of those duties include learning about any kind of technique or style no matter what they may be. Soooo...

[Clicking the push pencil a couple of times as he leaned forward, a focused glint in his blue eyes. With the way he had his shellphone set up, the edge of a notepad could be spotted along with a bottle of water could be seen in the display.]

How do any of ya' fight? What kind of training have you gone through? Techniques, weapons, anything you feel like spilling, let's hear it! [An ear-to-ear smile was brimming while the pigtailed teen rocked back and forth excitedly in his seat.]

[Darin rubs the back of his head nervously. He doesn't want to broadcast what he can do but...it's weird seeing someone who isn't afraid of him? Only Selene wasn't afraid of him back home...]

Uh...well, there's my Weld Slash.

It's when I cut through a monster fast enough that the two halves get stuck back together. It's like cauterizing a wound but...internally.
forgeabettertomorrow: (I don't really get it but...)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-04-03 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's usually pretty fatal. Not a lot of things can survive having major arteries severed and then cauterized shut...

[This is...weird. Confusing.]

Then there's my Temper Tantrum. That's...when I throw a few dozen rapid-fire punches. I don't really need to connect with them...the force of the punch creates a projectile of force...
forgeabettertomorrow: (Ehehehe well...)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-04-03 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Listen, all of his attacks use smithing terms.]

Yeah...I gotta say, I'm not...used to seeing someone be able to punch trees in half...?
forgeabettertomorrow: (I don't really get it but...)

[HE THOUGHT IT WAS CLEVER!!!]

And you're...human, right? Like totally?
forgeabettertomorrow: (Don't fail me now beautiful wings)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-04-03 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[WELL HE DOES SO THERE!!]

Huh...

[Darin's seen his fair share of skilled humans before, but he's never actually gone toe-to-toe with someone out of fear that he'd either hurt them or...they'd clap him in irons for being too powerful.]

So...what's the hardest thing you've split?
forgeabettertomorrow: (Ehehehe well...)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-04-03 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Anything harder than that? Like...an anvil?
forgeabettertomorrow: (I don't really get it but...)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-04-03 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Let's...try a different tack.

What's the strongest thing you've ever seen someone do?
forgeabettertomorrow: (you're an asshole here's why)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-04-03 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
And you're telling me these people aren't demons?!

[Because what the hell?!]
forgeabettertomorrow: (Just Say Run Goes WIth Everything?)

1/2

2/2

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-04-03 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
OKAY WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH YOUR WORLD?!
forgeabettertomorrow: (I don't really get it but...)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-04-03 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay...okay, I guess that...makes sense. Not every world is like mine...

And that explains why you didn't bat an eye at me when you saw what I could do...

[Darin runs a hand through his hair in thought.]

Sorry, this is. Kind of a lot? For me? The only person I've ever known who could do the things I could do is my brother and he just wiped out a city before I got here.
forgeabettertomorrow: (sure whatever you say)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-04-03 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Yeah and that's not...even close to his full strength as far as I could tell.

[He sighs.]

Like I said, there's a reason I don't fight people.
forgeabettertomorrow: (my story is long)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-04-03 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
... ... ...

Yeah. Ureka is—was...one of Alvale's most populated cities.

There's literally nothing left. A flat expanse with a single spire in the center. A tower made from the city itself.

And it's people.
