[open] meat beat mania @weaponnames
Who: Hijikata & You! (with closed prompts to mikazuki meniscus, and Lili coastal)
What: Some sparring! Sword fighting! In-general chillaxing if that's what you're about instead. Meanwhile, Hijikata also promised some lessons to Lili, and a rematch to Mikazuki.
When: Before the interlude
Where: At the Do-jo and Die-jo
Warnings: PG... there will be lots of sword fighting and playing dirty though??? someone's gotta throw dirt in the face every once and awhile.
||A.
[ Ah, yes... what a beautiful day at the do-jo and die-jo. although, Hijikata doesn't beat around the bush and just decides to get to training right off the bat! after dragging his comrades back to his apartment, it has been noisier -- which is fine, but he definitely needed to get away today. so, practicing and exercising seems like a good idea.
nonetheless, you might just find him swinging a bokken rhythmically. if you need help with something or want him for some bizarre reason, feel free to approach?
or you can just watch, really. ]
||B.
[ although... watching some guy practicing rather than the exciting spars is kind of weird, isn't it? unless you just happen to be glancing that way at that time because Hijikata will stop and notice! ]
What is it?
[ he doesn't sound too happy, but... he never sounds happy. this is normal. he straightens himself and lowers the bokken to his side. ]
This isn't the place to be slacking off. If you're going to practice then pick up a practice sword, if you're looking for something else then spit it out.
||C.
[ annnnd with a peak outside... Hijikata finally comes to an excellent conclusion. so he muses this out loud. ]
You know, today is a pretty good day.. The weather is nice.
[ you're going to get a bokken put right into your hands if you don't have one? yes. ] We should go outside, I want to have a spar.
Besides, everyone needs to practice fighting on different terrain, right? Come on. [ why does he sound strangely... pleased and excited about this -- like he has something up his sleeve... ]
||Wildcard!
[ if you want to make up something else instead, go for it. he's just going to be having some sword fun at the dojo, basically! ]
--Closed to Mikazuki!
[ of course, naturally, Hijikata will stop when he finally sees Mikazuki arrive. he'll grab the sword's attention with a wave of his hand. ]
I see you finally made it. [ so... he's pretty much going to cut to the chase because they both know why they're here! ]
It's been awhile hasn't it, huh. Are you ready for round two?
--Closed to Lili!
[ Lili's going to get a rude welcoming to the dojo, however! as soon as she walks in, Hijikata is already there. SO IN THE USUAL, STERN AND GRUMPY VOICE-- ]
You're late!
[ he didn't even tell her what time to come though, specifically... maybe you can call him out on that. but no, he's just in super strict teacher mode maybe? ]
Are you even ready? Come on, hurry up. We're not wasting any time today, so I better not see you beating around the bush.
[ what's up Lili. go grab a practice sword. ]

[ what's up Lili. go grab a practice sword. ]
what the fck
As if you designated a time.
[LILI'S NEVER LATE. But she's just going to wave him off.]
Cease your lecturing. I plan to take this seriously but that's not an invitation for you to be impossible.
[SO SHE'LL CHANGE INTO PROPER CLOTHES FOR TRAINING AND GRAB A PRACTICE SWORD, SHEESH]
>:)
but not really. ]
Once you're done meet me outside then. Make sure you're ready, I'll want to see what you know so far.
[ SO OUTSIDE HE GOES! he'll be waiting for Lili silently, pretty much. she better not be taking forever! ]
no subject
Regardless Lili's just going to huff faintly - but also change at the speed of light, even though she's also making sure that her appearance is well-groomed. Because even if she'll end sweaty and disgusting, she can at least start like a lady.
So she'll meet him outside with practice sword in hand and frown.]
Was that fast enough for you?
no subject
she's training with the REAL MEN now, no time trying to be all lady-like but she can try. ]
Well, I could always say you could've been faster.
[ but he said they're not wasting time today, right? so, Hijikata is basically going to dive into these lessons!]
You did mention before you already started lessons, right? Well, I'd like to see where you are first of all. So stance.
no subject
But she does take this shit seriously so she's not wasting time either. She's been coming here every single day since she arrived and she strives for perfection, so her shift in posture is immediate and practiced.
Kashuu's a pretty good teacher. It also helps that Lili is a goddamn overachiever.]
Understood.
*takes out knife*
Kashuu better be a good teacher!!! considering Souji is one of the best swordsmen in the Shinsengumi, hopefully he inherited that.
so, he'll walk around Lili to inspect her stance- which is pretty good actually! Hijikata won't say he's impressed though. ]
It seems like you're on the right track so far. Who was teaching you again?
[ BUTTT to test it... he will attempt to shove her over! but honestly if she's such an overachiever and her stance is perfect she won't fall. ]
what the fresh fck
Yet Lili is stubborn and she's not sure what kind of teacher Hijikata is - Kashuu is patient and thorough, Mutsu is playful but encouraging - but she's quickly find out. There's no falling even though she's being shoved and she just reorients herself to face him again.
Mildly glaring.]
Kashuu!
I TOLD YOU ILL FIGHT
[ HIJIKATA BEING A DICK ISN'T NEWS? ]
Well, not bad. So, moving on... Hm... Next...
[ hmm. . . . thinking. . . . ] Ah, right. I want to see how well you can swing, but make sure you're holding the sword right. I want you to hit me.
AAAA IT'S TIME TO GO
The swing is a practiced motion - and one that she still plans on practicing even more - but at the very least since she's being evaluated there's still no fault to be found. Perfectionist workaholic and all.
Also she's pretty down to hit HIji.
And she'll hold the sword right while doing it too.]
:knife emoji: :knife emoji: :knife emoji:
anyway, it's nice to teach someone who isn't hesitant or scared! these types are Hijikata's ideal students. honestly, it's good to have guts to hit the Demon Vice Commander, right? er, maybe...
but yeah, sorry Lili you might be down to hit Hijikata buuut with a quick side step, and a lift of his sword he blocks it pretty easily - the wood clatters rather loudly when both swords make contact. ]
Good form, but weak! Do it again.
[ just keep hitting him man. ]
WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS
It's almost like he doesn't have to tell her?! In all honesty even before he was instructing her to do it again, she's looking for an opportunity to advance. The permission comes and she moves quickly - if he blocks it again, she'll just try again and again until she might actually be able to land a hit.
Lili's not gifted strength-wise, it's just not in her physical ability even though she's trying, but at the very least she's relentless. The irritation also does something to add force to her strikes.
SHE AIN'T SCARED OF YOU, HIJI]
i cant believe you're asking me that
so... it looks like she's determined to keep swinging this practice sword until she lands a hit, huh. well, Lili is going to get the usual "pep talk" he gives to his troops! ]
Okay, straighten up! Keep hitting just like that!
[ well, for a beginner all her movements are just... predicable, therefore easy to block. but it's obvious that Kashuu did make sure to teach her good form. ]
Remember, if this was a real sword the slightest mistake can kill you! You need to have the determination to kill!
[ aaand... there's a quick side step! Hijikata dodges as opposed to his usual blocks - will Lili catch on? because he's going to swing his sword right at her side. he'll stop right before the sword does actually make contact with her body, unless she does manage to block this. ]
it's a valid q tho
However "You need to have the determination to kill!" manages to bring up some rather unfortunate memories - no one ever really pushes her that far in her training. Yet there it is: the flashing memory of staring down a sword pointed right at her throat by an angry guard. It's enough to remind her exactly why she's doing this - and it tricks her into taking this more seriously than just a practice match.
Her footwork is one step behind, though she does turn in time to knock her practice sword against his, a glimpse of something truly defensive in her eyes, though her position leaves her off-balance for a second. She's still a novice, but she's very much trying.]
no subject
That's a good look in your eyes, you're taking this seriously. Never show fear to your opponents.
[ he's taught many troops that looked so frightened when they trained with Hijikata. they were too afraid to give it all they got and strike at him!
but...
he'll hook his foot around Lili's and trip her! ]
Still need to work on your stance though.
no subject
now she's lying on the cold hard ground (screaming goat)
Lili's making a surprised noise, the tempered look on her eyes being traded surprise as she sure is knocked right out of her determination and straight to the dirt. Well, she sure does look irritated... more at the fact that she made a mistake than at Hijikata for knocking her to the ground though.
Immediately, she's moving to stand again.]
Understood. What else?
