Second Gambit (Video)

Now that I've gotten myself relatively settled, I think it's time I started preparing for the rest of my stay here...however long that might be. So, anyone up for sparring? I'm skilled in both Judo and Karate, but it doesn't really matter to me what style of fighting you prefer as long as you're good at it.

I have another request, as well. I've been informed that this place is somewhat lacking in light-based projectile weaponry, and I don't want to be caught helpless if I'm ambushed by Shadows and run out of ammunition for a more traditional gun. What I'm looking for is a teacher in some sort of melee weapon. I can manage just about anything, but I would prefer it not be too barbaric. I'm afraid I can't compensate you now, but I would be indebted to anyone who volunteers.

Unfortunately, my tutor isn't available at the moment.

But if you want to spar, I don't mind.

How good are you?

Still learning, but I'm talented with the sword. So-so with my fists.

I'm more looking for a skilled fighter for sparring, but why not? Maybe you're selling yourself short. Name the time and place.

[Wow listening to this guy hurt Kid's head. Too many big words.]

Use a hammer.

*The issues of talking to a well educated genius.*

I was thinking of something a little more efficient.

Try using something that works instead. Hammers haven't steered me wrong yet.

[Yanno, compared to guns, pikes, bows, mortars, and a cannon that shoots mini-magic nukes.]

If a sparring partner you need, I am more than glad to provide.

[ Lookin' smug, eh Saber? ]

I'd prefer something a bit more maneuverable. Heavy objects tend to leave their wielders a bit too open to counters for my tastes.

I take it you're skilled, then?

Try a machete?

It's possible. Do you know anyone familiar with them?

Me.

Very.

Is that an offer, then?

Do you have anywhere to meet in mind?

*He would prefer to name the place himself, but he hasn't gotten the lay of the city well enough yet.*

Hmmm, I can't really help you with the non-barbaric weaponry thing. I use hammers myself.

But do you have your persona yet? I can help you get that. Actually, how new are you? Do you want the Faq?

Not as of yet, no. I only arrived a couple of days ago, but I've already gotten the Faq.

Oh, good! I wasn't sure if people were still sending that around.

Anyway, getting your persona will help you out a lot. They're way more effective against shadows than regular weapons.

I can imagine. I haven't tried to fight them yet myself, but exploiting weaknesses is obviously a better tactic than attacking blindly. And here I'm fresh out of flamethrowers.

Hehe, don't worry. The persona thing is actually pretty easy. ANd the more you fight with them, the more stuff they learn.

Well, that sounds convenient, as long as you know how to pick your battles.

Yeah, if you're not careful, you can get into trouble. I was out training with a friend once and we ran into a shadow that was immune to wind attacks. Back then, that was all either of us had.

It was pretty embarrassing, actually.

Could be. Would appreciate some coin or a favor down the vine, but I'll help either way.

Not really. Usually the hotel's rooftop or in a gym of sorts could do.

You have my word that I'll repay you at the first opportunity.

A gym sounds reasonable enough.

*And he'll need to know where there's one for later. At least until he can get his own personal exercise equipment again.*

Sounds like it. Maybe it would be best to carry a more traditional weapon even with a Persona, just in case something like that happens.

Yeah, it's always good to be armed during the dark hour. And I guess it also helps to find a partner who has different elemental attacks.

Although, you actually don't have to fight shadows at all. They won't come inside. A lot of people use the extra hour to watch TV or do homework.
