[open] Double your pleasure, double your fun

[playboyknight]

Who: Angelo (playboyknight) and you!
When: IC: 6/23 | OOC: 4/6, late morning into late afternoon
Where: CERES Academy Archery Range
What: Keeping to his word, people who wanted to learn archery from Angelo are now going to from the master of the bow or so he thinks. Also he may have sent texts to wrong numbers too, so feel free to jump in or anyone at the Academy grounds can join in too. Oh and his robot double will be there, so feel free to have yours be there too.
Rating/Warning: None other than maybe some cuts or accidents. But otherwise, it’s harmless.

---

After sending out various texts to everyone wanting lessons and some others accidentally while rushing in the morning to get out the door with his robot double coming alongside him, Angelo then arrives at CERES Academy to prep the Archery Range for all of them before the appointed time along with said robot double helping him out. Thankfully the academy had spare bows for people in the archery club, so Angelo instructs his double to do most of the work while he set up the tables for the bows to be laid out on and readies himself for each lesson he's going to be teaching everyone. His robot double even decides to help out with the lessons as well, which is great for him. If you're already at the Academy, you might even be seeing him do his work with said robot. Once their work is at last done, people will see two different scenarios depending on when they arrive or are already on the Academy Grounds and haven't found their way to Angelo and his double yet:

[ Scenario I ]

Should your character arrive early or already be on the school grounds but hasn't found Angelo until now, they'll see him practicing his warm up exercises (mostly stretching, handstands, and cartwheels) and some new archery techniques he wants to try before expecting anyone to arrive. What kind of techniques? Well if you can count using an archery bow with his feet (and yes, he's not wearing shoes just socks) as a type of archery technique, then there you go. His robot double will even be practicing alongside him and trying to match his every movement.

[ Scenario II ]

If you've arrived either right on time or once again be on school grounds but haven't stumbled onto him till now, Angelo will be performing more bow tricks. This includes shooting multiple arrows at one in a straight line on the target set up or be doing various types of splits as he fires his arrows. Why he'll even be jumping in the air to do some fancy trick shots too! Wow he's so talented and impressive, right? Of course he is. Even his double is impressed and making attempts to follow in his original's footsteps.

[ooc: Also because I forgot, Angelo has a permissions post about one of his special abilities that may or may not be applicable to your character! Feel free to reply if you feel the need to.]

I didn't know that! That explains why you're able to use the bow so easily!

[He said before looking at the arrow and gave a small hum to himself. If only he could take a picture and how his brother how awesome this was!]

I heard from someone that when you use the arrow, it's all about how you aim too. And you got to be careful on where you hit!

[playboyknight]

Knowing how to aim and being careful are important, but your stance and handling are your number one priorities. Otherwise, you come off as sloppy and never hit your mark.

[He picks up his own bow again and gets into the positioning again as he pulls out two arrows as opposed to one, then fires them both off successfully at the target's bulls eye.]

You'll even be able to shoot more than one arrow at a time if you follow the proper methods.

[cresthopes]

[As Takeru looked at Angelo carefully, he gave a small pout before attempting to match his stance. He got out two arrows and followed suit before it barely went anywhere!]

How long did it take you to figure out how to shoot those arrows again? It seems like it would take forever for me to get as good as you!

[playboyknight]

[Watching Takeru, he sighs before shaking his head. Looks like he's got to tell him the truth of the matter.]

Takeru, I've been doing archery since I was sixteen. I'm now twenty-one. However, I didn't learn overnight. It took me at least a couple months when I was first starting to learn how to fire even one arrow.

[cresthopes]

[Even without Angelo telling him, Takeru already knew the answer. As he gave a sigh and shifted around his weight, he didn't even bother to look at the older man]

....So I guess I got to keep practicing for 5 years huh? And even then, it looks like it's going to take a long while too...

[playboyknight]

[Putting his hand on Takeru's shoulder, he's really trying to cheer the kid up now. Especially as he could see this was really bothering him.]

Don't get discouraged, Takeru. We can keep practicing here and even in the ViViD if you want to, you're already doing very well for someone who is just starting. Give it a couple of months, all right?

[cresthopes]

Yeah, you're right. I just got to keep doing my best and get it eventually!

[Despite his words, he couldn't help but sound disappointed. It was going to take him a while but he just got to keep hoping for the best right?

And protect all of his friends...]

And maybe one day, I'll be as good as you too!

[playboyknight]

That's the spirit! You've got the right attitude for this. Come on then, let's keep practicing. And perhaps you may, we'll see. Now then, I want you to try firing an arrow on your own this time with me watching.

[He steps back and folds his arms to watch what Takeru does.]

[cresthopes]

[Firing an arrow on his own? That was a lot easier said than done! As he took in a deep breath, he tried his best to remember what Angelo told him! Shoulders wide back, feet apart, he closed one of eyes and aimed as best as he could at the center!

Although, he could feel his muscles were getting sore from all the stretching but he had to push on forward! As he quickly fired, that’s when he felt a small pang of pain on his arms. ...Which was why the arrow might have been a bit too high and aimed straight for the top of a tree]

[playboyknight]

[Angelo watches that arrow go flying and it hits a branch near the top of said tree at least. Color him impressed!]

... Well that was certainly an interesting shot to say the least.

[cresthopes]

[Meanwhile, Takeru could just stare and give a pout]

Awww, I was hoping that I would hit the target! [he said before rubbing his shoulders once more. Although, there was a slight wince coming from him]

[playboyknight]

[He can see what Takeru's up to out of the corner of his eye and leans down to check on him.]

It's all right, you did your best. Are you all right though? Let me see your shoulders.

[cresthopes]

I-I'm okay! My shoulder hurts a little but it's not that bad!

[He said as quickly as he could in an attempt to make Angelo less worried]

I had really bad injures before so this is nothing!

[playboyknight]

Stay still.

[He lifts one of his hands to Takeru's shoulder and it begins glowing green. Though Takeru will feel a warm sensation that seems to be making the pain go away.]

How does that feel?

[cresthopes]

[As soon as Takeru saw the green glow, he just stared at Angelo before rubbing his shoulders once more.]

That feels a lot better but how did you do that? Don't tell me that you can heal people too!

[playboyknight]

I can. It was part of my duties as a priest to learn magics that would help others. You could say I'm a jack of all trades.

[He even gives Takeru a soft smile as he's glad to know he's doing better.]

[cresthopes]

Well, I didn't know that! It makes me wonder, what can't<./I> you do?

[Because Angelo sensei is really really cool okay?]

[playboyknight]

There's very few things I can't do. I am one of the most amazing people in all of Cerealia.

[He's not mentioning any flaws because he doesn't need the child looking up to him knowing.]

[cresthopes]

Oh really? Then mind if I ask just what is one thing you can't do?

[Although, this might be Takeru trolling him right now]

[playboyknight]

Nice try, kid. I'm not telling you, especially some of them are adult related. Not something your ears should be hearing.

[He's going to troll back. You can't out troll the troll.]

[cresthopes]

[In which, Takeru just kept on staring at him]

Then does this mean it must be really bad? I know I'm not suppose to hear them but it's not super scary is it?

[playboyknight]

[He may tease kids, but Takeru is way too young. He won't do that to him.]

Yes. They're very awful and scary, that's why I won't tell you. I'd rather not cause you to have nightmares from mentioning them.

[cresthopes]

[In return, Takeru just stared up at Patamon before giving a small pout]

Then they must be really bad. I'm starting to wonder if your world must be worse than Cerealia and that's saying something!

[That and he had been having a new nightmares as of late as well.]

[playboyknight]

[He's having a bit of fun now, especially since it's in his nature.]

Yes, my world is much worse than Cerealia. I'd never subject someone to going there.

[cresthopes]

[Don't be mean, Angelo!]

Then...what goes on in your world? If you don't mind me asking?
