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.]

[The old hag and Faris' friend, An Actual Talking Turtle That Can Kick Demon Ass, would probably get along great.]

Oh, so you're a properly trained monk? [Anything Goes, School of Indiscriminate Grappling...] Sounds like the old masters had a real direct way of thinking with names. Least you know exactly what to expect.

[He says it with a grin--let's face it, that's what most fighting comes down to anyway.]

[Considering Cologne was able to call a great white shark to her and control it, an Actual Talking Turtle That Can Kick Demon Ass wouldn't be too out of the question in things she can get along well with.]

If that's how you want to think of it, then yeah. I've gotten some training from a couple monks we met while traveling, and underwent a lot of the same spiritual training they went through in order to get a hold on my ki.

[Ranma couldn't help but turn up a sly smile at Faris' assumption, chuckling to himself.]

That's where you're wrong. Some of it is as exactly as it sound on the tin. But if there's anything my fighting style relies on, it's unpredictability and adaptation.

[moremystyle]

Ki? [Wait a second, that sounds familiar...] That's that internal energy monks can tap into, isn't it?

[The spirits in the crystal shards didn't talk, as such, but they still conveyed what they knew strongly enough that the notion of mystic vital energy hits somewhere in his head.]

[catsgothistongue]

Hit the nail right on the head there.

[That got a smile out of him. Finally, someone he didn't have to explain the concept of ki to!]

[moremystyle]

So you've got ki and you were taught by your master to be a ball of utter chaos. No wonder you're such a pain in the arse.

[catsgothistongue]

Because you're such a doll to be around.

[Ball of utter chaos??]

[moremystyle]

I wouldn't be doing me job right if I was. Other people can handle being pleasant and polite--that nonsense isn't any fun for me.
