003 ☀ video ☀ show you the difference 'tween my gun and my pistol

[tumbleweeds]

[ Jaye's been restless and it's starting to get to her; starting to show, really, if the way she runs her hand through her hair and fidgets with her silver wolf earrings before speaking counts as 'showing'. ]

I'm looking for a fight... or a spar, I guess. No guns, no blades -- in fact, if it's a weapon you brought with you to meet, you can't use it. I'm looking for hand-to-hand more than anything. [ Hmm, what else. ] No fatalities or potentially fatal injuries.

[ There's a pause, one lip curling upward slightly. ] You can pull your punches because I'm a girl, but I won't be as nice to you. [ Confident much? Well yes, because she never said anything about not shapeshifting. Besides, this is a good way to assess threat levels.

There's a pause though, then some more fidgeting with one of her earrings as she continues, on a different topic now. ]

Stefan, Bass -- other than the general creepy factor and how bad it smelled, that walk wasn't half bad. Not as useful as we were hoping, but maybe we can try again later.

Metalman, Kirk the Lipstick Captain, Dances With Bears or Goggles or Brick Shithouse, whatever I'm supposed to call you, and anyone else who was all concerned -- we're fine, we've been back, we didn't get lost, none of us are dead, and I got the chemical smell out of my nose.

[ And another pause... ]

Seriously, anyone who wants to spar. Let's go.

Kirk doesn't wear lipstick, miss.

[video]

[tumbleweeds]

That's because he left his makeup box on his other ship.

[ She's well aware that he was joking when he said that. She doesn't care. ]

[ Metalman? Cue Erik's own eyebrow raise at that. It's certainly not Magneto, and nowhere near as creative as that, but it gets his attention regardless. ]

What chemical smell? [ The real focus at hand, though he isn't opposed to sparring with her regardless. ]

[tumbleweeds]

[ Magneto is boring because you came up with it yourself, Erik. ]

You get far enough in the ship, it smells like a whole mess of chemicals just dumped together. I couldn't make anything specific out. [ Pause. ] Copper and blood, too.

Kirk the Lipstick Captain.

[ SULU IS SNICKERING ]

[tumbleweeds]

Sadly without his lipstick. Not that I have any, either.

[ metalman? lipstick captain? it's a wonder raven keeps the sass out of her tone. ohwaitshedoesn't sob ]

I'm always up for sparring, if you still need someone.

[tumbleweeds]

[ they asked for it ]

I do.

voice;

[coarse]

Sure. We can try to make it last more than a day next time.

[You can tell he's not really looking forward to the idea. Weird things in his head, Do Not Want.]

I'll fight you.

voice;

[tumbleweeds]

Maybe it'll be less weird.

Sure. [ she's never sparred with a telepath before. ] It'll be fun.

[master_of_the_game]

Sparring, huh? Alright, I guess I could use it.

[tumbleweeds]

Good with the rules?

[20mentholkools]

Find it?

[tumbleweeds]

My GPS had a panic attack, so we ended up turning back.

[ She's rather annoyed by that. ]

[puppydogeyes]

[Ordinarily she'd be responding to the talk of sparring, but she can't say she feels like fighting anyone at the moment. Not if she doesn't have to.]

Chemical smell?

text;

[tumbleweeds]

Went for a walk. You get far enough in the ship, it's like someone dumped a bunch of chemicals together. It's goddamn awful.

Smells like copper & blood, too, but those don't smell as bad.

[stimulations]

So you're the sparring sort. Of course, I should have realised.

video;

[tumbleweeds]

Cheer up, Nintendo, you know now.

voice.

[shoyu]

I'm afraid I really can't help you with regards to a sparring partner, but I can only imagine the terror you could strike into someone with those claws of yours!

voice.

[tumbleweeds]

Too bad. I'd offer to teach you but I'm absolute crap at teaching and I don't know anything formal anyway. [ Well, other than a few tricks Dominic taught her. ] But that's the plan.

[dilemma]

No Fatalities? Your loss, you'll never get to see my Sub Zero impression.

[ He's only mocking her a little. ]

video;

[tumbleweeds]

You can show me on someone else, if it's that important to you.

[ Never mind that Jaye isn't sure what Sub Zero is... ]

voice.

[therangerking]

[ A low chuckle. ]

I am none of those, but I will not decline the offer. [ Beat. ] 'Tis rare that I fight without weapons.

voice.

[tumbleweeds]

That's just fine. [ There's a shrug, though he can't see it. ] Never know when you won't have them, right?

[became]

He prefers 'the Magnificent Metalhead'.

[ oh ftlog neal. ]

[tumbleweeds]

[ Snicker. ]

I'll keep that in mind.

video

[unparental]

[ ...huh. ]

Any objections to someone who's not exactly old hat at the idea of throwing a punch?

video

[tumbleweeds]

No, no objections. [ There's a rub at the back of her neck. ] But I'm not much of a teacher.

[firstofficer]

[ w-what?

lipstick?











wait is this earth humor. ]

[tumbleweeds]

[ ... why is this guy staring at her ]

What?

[goldshirt]

[yeah he's still laughing.]

Now you've gone and given me a reputation.

video;

[tumbleweeds]

[ Oh he has a face! ... Now she can't say that she's never seen him with Chase anymore. Crap. ]

You're welcome. Don't worry, the right shade of lipstick can be very classy.
