1st Windstorm: Self-defense is a must!

[1000tinycuts]

[Asgard, your local Suna kunoichi is growing restless. This never fares well for those around her.]

I have been here for some time. [Not a happy prospect.] In that time, it has come to my attention that not everyone here is able to even defend themselves, let alone fight in this war against the forces that oppose these... [She scoffs as she says this...] gods we are to help.

While my Wind Release powers do not work here, I am still able to use my martial arts and weapons training.

I am offering to train anyone interested in learning how to do hand-to-hand combat, use swords, kunai, shuriken, iron fans, sickles and any other standard shinobi weaponry.

[She's now sneering.]

Do not waste my time. If you aren't interested, don't bother replying. However, if you are willing to do this, we can work out payment for my services and what times will work for the both of us. I will be at the Welcome House of Freya for the entire day and I am always reachable on the bracelets' communication system.

Hm...Well, I guess I could use a little brushing up. Don't know how well martial arts will do against giants, though.

[Ah, the idiotic redhead... Lovely. However, if he was paying money, she was willing to teach him.]

Giants are not our only foes. Besides, having the ability to defend oneself is never useless.

Oh yeah? What else is there to watch out for? I don't have much guidance to this place.

[1000tinycuts]

Not everyone here is as honorable as you appear to be.

video; aw gurl he is all kinds of diggin that hairstyle

[iin2ufferable]

What, are you supposed to be some kind of crazy-ass ninja? Do humans even have those?

It's sexy, yes?

[1000tinycuts]

[She stares carefully at the bracelet. Horns. He has horns... Like one of that horrid Orochimaru's experiments.

It takes her a moment to gather her calm around her and respond, but when she does, it's polite. For her.]

I am a ninja, yes.

oh miss temari ooooooh

[iin2ufferable]

Wait. Really?

[ Clearly not the answer he was expecting. ]

And she makes the best line faces. Just sayin

[1000tinycuts]

[His reaction is nearly comical. However, this appears to be a waste of her time and she is not pleased with that.]

Yes. Do you not have them where you're from?

[iin2ufferable]

Yes that's it exactly. [ Deadpanning. ] I have never even heard of ninjas, that is why I asked.

What's a kunai?

[Temari reaches into her hip pouch and pulls out the weapon, letting the other woman see it.]

It is also considered a throwing dagger and can be used as a knife as well.

[She sounds like she's in absolute agony when she speaks. Her breath is coming through thin, pained hisses.]

I'm in... you know that already. Just wanted to be clear.

Don't mind the sounds... It seems the control method's working. Hard.

[1000tinycuts]

[As much as Temari disdains most people, Sam is not one of them. And despite what most think, she doesn't like to hear or see those she cares about in pain. When she replies to the other woman, her jaw is set and it's all she can do to keep from seething.]

I will not train you while you are experiencing pain, Sam. It will lessen your response time and that is dangerous.

[samantha_grey]

Heh... not today... it's the runes. They... it seems to react to that part of me. [She breathed in slowly and let out a pained laugh.] I should be fine tomorrow.

[1000tinycuts]

For all the good they seem to be doing you, they are doing considerable harm as well.

However, tomorrow is fine with me.

[samantha_grey]

Worth it... better than losing control. I feel like I can be around people... It's strange.

[Given the people he observes most frequently, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Gaara’s sense of humor – or whatever passes for one – is rather twisted.

He lets a faint smirk curl his lips as he lightly teases.] Would you charge me as well? If I request a sparring session with you.

[Video]

[1000tinycuts]

[Is that... It is... It's a joke. From Gaara. And Temari can't help but give him a slight, but sincere smile in return.]

I'm sure that we can work out a plan of payment, brother.

[Video]

[no_dreams_for_you]

[Surprised, big sis? He's learning! Sort of.]

You could consider it a mission, I suppose. [He doesn't have a problem with providing for her, of course. He has plenty of money from working all the time.

Not to mention so much approval for her endeavor.] It would be wise to strengthen the capabilities of our allies.

[Video]

[1000tinycuts]

[Yes, she's a little surprised, but it's not a bad thing to see him becoming more and more human nowadays.]

A mission? I would be willing to do that, if there was a way to make money off of it. This is unlike back in Suna where I would make a salary to teach the idiots around me.

[no_dreams_for_you]

[Not as easy to do in Suna, when he has much more important duties to address, but here in Asgard... Suddenly, he has free time. What a novel concept.]

The native residents may have a need for your abilities. [Although Gaara can't see her doing any C or D rank missions, considering her current position.]

Your students consistently regarded you with great admiration, Temari. Kankuro as well.

[Damn, that’s a big variety of weapons! Shinobi types, really? Of course, he’s never met a ninja in person – just what’s shown in movies. Still, Akihiko has to wonder how serious she is.]

Hey, I’m definitely interested! [Always up for a new challenge, this one!] Might be useful to learn… some of these weapons. [He still prefers his fists over everything, but recognizes a huge glaring weakness in fighting close-range all the time.] Is this your job?

[Video]

[1000tinycuts]

[Finally, someone besides Samantha that was serious and not wasting her time. She could handle that.]

I am also offering training in hand-to-hand combat. And I hope to make this my livelihood, yes. I am more than capable for this sort of work.

[Video]

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[A confident smirk creases his lips. He already trains pretty much everyday, and his physical skills haven't gotten any worse, but he can't help feeling intrigued. Fighting against a girl like this would be interesting.]

All right, let's do it! When do you wanna start? And what kinda payment are ya looking for?

[Video; private]

[1000tinycuts]

[A good time will be had when she has time to abuse someone. She's got a lot of pent of anger right now.]

I will charge you per session, if you are amenable to that. What days are you free? Unless you are willing to do this at least once a week, I have no use for you.
