17th Combo - [Video]

There! I-

[Locked from Eridan]

-did it! Good. That'll keep him from listening in on this. Thanks, Genis. I owe you one.

[Yup, somebody begged his best friend to show him how to lock. That done, he turns his attention on the Dreamberry - and Somarium in general by extension. His expression is very serious, and perhaps a little chagrined.]

Hey, everyone. I... kind of need some help. I need to get stronger, so I need to train, but I also need help learning how to fight magic users. [He makes a face.] Especially magic users that can fly.

[No, he's not talking about anyone in specific. What makes you think that?]

Does anyone want to spar? Or have any advice?

Well. I don't fly. But magic wise I can teach you some things. [ He guesses. He just needs some practice otherwise he'll grow lazy. ]

[Good idea, Riku. Getting out of practice may have been half of Lloyd's problem in the first place. Best not to fall in that trap like he did.]

Really? What kinds of things do you know?

[ Riku can't get out of practice. It'd be shameful if Sora actually beat him at something. /: ]

I know spells revolving around the elements. Not many. A lot of it comes from darkness.

I can help, if you want. I know some magic thanks to materia, and I'm a capable fighter.

[redcladidealist]

Materia? What's that?

[He's curious because she mentioned it, but it's not the most important thing that she just said. He grins at her offer.]

What kind of fighting do you do? Are you fast?

[heavenlyfinale.livejournal.com]

On my world, Materia are little balls of condensed energy from the planet that have magical properties. They can cast magic, summon beats to help you fight, or even heal you.

[She smiles back.] I'm predominantly a martial artist - hand to hand combat, if you will. And I'd like to think I'm pretty fast.

[neptanc.livejournal.com]

Are you in trouble?

[redcladidealist]

No. Not right now, anyway. But I don't want to be in trouble if something happens again. That's why I need to train.

[neptanc.livejournal.com]

Is this the kind of place where that happens a lot?

[allies.livejournal.com]

Is this about Eridan?

[redcladidealist]

Yeah, it is. At least, that's what started it. I want to be able to protect my friends. I can't do that if I can't even defend myself against someone like him.

[soulsymmetrical]

[musing.]

You just need to be attacked from the air, correct?

[redcladidealist]

Yeah. That'd help a lot. I'm not used to having to fight long range.

[He usually had his friends to help him.]

[knightofchanges]

I can help with sword fighting, but not magic, sorry.

[redcladidealist]

No, that's great! I can use all the practice I can get. I'm a swordsman, too, so that's even better!

Do you know how to use techniques?

[cursebound]

What kind of training are you looking for?

[redcladidealist]

Mostly I'm worried about fighting someone who's fighting long range. I'm not so good at that. I think that's why I lost the last time I got in a fight.

[uncute-one.livejournal.com]

My best advice is to run.

[redcladidealist]

I'm not going to run away! What if someone's life is depending on me?

Flying magic users? [ A blink. Huh, that's weird... ]

What are you doing that for, Lloyd?

[redcladidealist]

So I can get stronger, so I can protect my friends, Colette!

[Oh look, some poor unfortunate soul needs her help. She perches her chin on steepled hands]

Flying magic users, huuuuuuuuh~?

[The gray skin and horns tip Lloyd off that Vriska is a troll, but he doesn't recognize her and so far from his experience the odds are stacked three to one that she's probably tolerable, if not nice.

...hush, it's not his fault he doesn't know the troll race that well~

Regardless, he's willing to take her completely at face value. He nods.]

Yeah. You don't happen to know any, do you?

[combiplay.livejournal.com]

Haha? You want to fight magicians? How come?

[redcladidealist]

So I can practice in case I get in a fight with one again!
