Round five, FIGHT! (Visual)

[turnbuckle]

I know it's been a busy month with the dungeon crawling and everyone turning into Pokemon in the past couple of weeks, y'know, on top of the whole Pale Pony business. But I also understand that not everyone here can fight, which is a pretty useful skill to have given how ridiculous things have been getting here.

[The scroll pans out to where she is at the moment-which is a room in the Dojo, complete with some neatly-stacked towels in one corner and a bright pink punching bag.]

I promise you, there's a lot of problems that can be solved by punching them hard enough. Granted, most of those are problems related to something having it out for you,  but there are all sorts of variations on that particular issue. That's why I'm proud to start training anyone who wants to get started on learning the basics at the Night Market's dojo.

We'll be mostly covering unarmed combat with a bit of a focus on grappling techniques. I'm not really the best person to ask about magic or weapons, but if any of you want to branch out a little, I'll try seeing who else is available to teach.

Any questions?

[Dead serious:]

Yes.

[sailorlaughter]

Awesome!

[turnbuckle]

We're open most days of the week, and I'm here in the afternoons unless the commune's extra busy around planting and harvesting times. When do you want to start?

[sailorlaughter]

Any time's good for me, pretty much! How about Tuesday?

[turnbuckle]

Tuesday's perfect. We could start you in the same class as Marty since he's a beginner too, unless he hasn't got the time.

...wait.

Are you a beginner, Pinkie? Because I really liked Punchie Pie's style.

[sailorlaughter]

Oh, that was pretty cool, but I normally don't punch people at all! I just figure now, since a bunch of things keep trying to hurt us...I dunno. Maybe it would be okay to learn?

[turnbuckle]

Hey, this sort of thing can be fun too. Except you should probably, you know, ask someone if they want to fight if they're not trying to hurt you first.

[sailorlaughter]

Well, duh! You can't just run around PUNCHING people!

[turnbuckle]

Good. I've also got throwing people, suplexing people, kicking people, and Dante's been teaching me how to use a whip, if you want to expand things a little?

[sailorlaughter]

What's suplexing?

[turnbuckle]

This.

[And she calls her little stag beetle towards her, keen on showing Pinkie a demonstration.

...yup. That little bug just totally suplexed a pony. It's when Gwen gets back up, apparently totally unfazed by what just happened, that she turns back to the scrolls.]

So, how does that sound?

[sailorlaughter]

That.

Sounds.

AWESOME!!! [She may be a bit deceived by Gwen's apparent lack of injury.]
