[There's a brief pause before Riku speaks into the journal. He's been a bit restless as of late, and with the Replica around and his short encounter with Aku, well...]

Anyone up for a round? Haven't had much practice lately, so I could use a sparring partner. I use a sword, but I won't be too picky about weapons.

[Replica]

You figure things out yet?

[ voice ] /stalks youuuu

[thirdoutofthree.livejournal.com]

I'd offer to spar, but I don't think it'd be fair to you. Archers have a bit of an advantage over swordsmen.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

hmm... how's your magic use, I wonder.

[voice ] I should stalk you toooo

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Let me guess; it's because of your range, right?

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Still haven't picked anything up yet. I probably should, though.

[voice ] you should ;;

[thirdoutofthree.livejournal.com]

Oh right, there's that too. I was just talking about archers being better than swordsmen.

[voice ] I have been derpy. and napping a lot, so I've missed a lot of posts ;w;

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? And just what makes you better?

[ voice ] no worries. I was MIA for awhile and always derpy :>

[thirdoutofthree.livejournal.com]

[ Nonchalantly, ] Oh, just about everything.

[ voice ] being derpy is fun. ... and derpalicious

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Right. Give me one example, and we'll just see about that.

[ voice ] hell yeah it is

[thirdoutofthree.livejournal.com]

You gave yourself one already: range.

[ voice ] Riku's like...one of my only non-derp muses, though. what.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

I mean besides that.

[ voice ] my muses are mostly non-derp these days.

[thirdoutofthree.livejournal.com]

Archers are way better at catching their foes by surprise.

[ voice ] Sonic and Guilmon are epicly derp.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

... Okay, you've got a point. Still, a sword can deal plenty of damage.

[ voice ] noooo kidding. you need riku to balance them out

[thirdoutofthree.livejournal.com]

So can arrows, if you're a good marksman.

[ voice ] Riku was here first. 8D He's like my dominant muse~

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but you can't block with arrows, either, and sometimes you might have to get close. What then?

[ voice ] fuckyeah 8] I'm trying to get Viola established so I can app more characters

[thirdoutofthree.livejournal.com]

If you're in a pinch, you can block with your bow, but it's not the best strategy. I've heard of archers who carry daggers just in case they get too close in a fight.

[ voice ] yeeeees. you should join our cast of doooom ;D

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

And if the bow split in two?

Let me guess, you think daggers are better, too.

[ voice ] haha, nice try. I have no solid kh muses

[thirdoutofthree.livejournal.com]

If the bow splits, you better be a fast runner. [ She laughs. ] Daggers are handy, but I don't use one that often.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

And your defense against such?

[latkje]

Are you planning to use real weapons? Or just kindly-weighted sticks?

[ voice ] hehe, I was mostly teasing you anyway :B

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Well, it probably would be weird sparring against an archer. I'll give you that.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Probably limited to just blocking.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Could go both ways. Training swords or the real thing, doesn't matter to me.

[latkje]

I'm out of practice. And old, you know. But training seems like a good idea, around these uncertain parts.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

I can help you improve.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

I could go for that.
