WHEN I BIT OFF MORE THAN I CAN CHEW // SELF DEFENSE CLASS

[buckingham barnes]

Quantum assigned Buckingham a pretty good task, in his own opinion. There was something about the maine coon that just screams skill- whether it being the way he walks or how he acts. Bucky had a lot of fighting experience under his belt, as he is a former assassin after all, and he was more than confident he can teach self defense to his younger clan mates. Buckingham believed it was a good idea that everyone knows how to defend themselves, so they can understand how to get out of a scary situation and walk away safely.

The former assassin made his way into the floating sea town, his light blue eyes blinking slowly. This wouldn’t be a good spot for self defense classes. He needs more space if he wishes to teach the younger members properly. An area like the beach would do good. "Sparks & Sunbearers! I’m hosting a self defense class at the beach, meet me there if you’re interested!" He called out with a meow, his tail flicking as he turned around to pad off. Bucky decided to include Sunbearers if they wanted a refresher, it was never a bad idea to go through a self defense class again if you already know.

Buckingham padded off without another word, his silent paws taking him there.

A self defense class?

Interesting.

While Ilijas appeared pacifistic in nature - playing the part of either a mere wanderer or a silent elk - he enjoyed a good fight as much as the next person. He distinctly recalled the many spars he and Talanah had engaged in in their early youth, typically over the most petty of reasons. His twin sister didn't always see eye to eye with him (and vice versa, though he'd never admit that) and thus, fighting had been the only option to settle their too-apparent differences. They butted heads constantly, but he still missed her terribly. She had gotten involved with the wrong crowd and lost her life because of it.  Recklessness ran in the family, it seemed, but at least he was still alive- the last reminder of Talanah, of his Tally.

He'd dismiss his thoughts as he arrived at the beach, instead deciding to focus on the promise of brushing up on his surely rusty skills. [color=gray]"Yeah, I'll participate," The silver bengal chided casually, flicking a tail, [color=gray]"The name's Ilijas, by the way. We haven't met before." Ilijas would permit an easy smile to curve his lips, shrugging off his satchel to place it on a relatively secure mound of sand. As much as he'd want to document this little session via means of his camera, he wouldn't dare risk it. [color=gray]"When do we start?"

[GORDON CIPHER.]

Gordon definitely needed a class of self-defense, especially considering the whole reason she joined Sunhaven (and The Ascendants, but that was besides the point) in the first place. Gordon had been outside whenever Bucky called, and her gaze briefly flickered over to him as he made the announcement. Whenever he started to walk off, she quickly followed, though her gaze stayed on the ground whenever she walked. "I'm-I'm participating," The little she-cat stated as she arrived, taking a random seat somewhere.

[BOYWONDER]

[align=center][div style="width:500px; maxheight:; text-align: justify; font-size:9.5pt;"]B had been in a few scraps in his time, though nothing serious, and rarely with someone who could genuinely pose a threat to him. He'd seen dangerous people a few times, had recognized that look in their eyes and the shadows of their every movement, but what could he say? The circus had kept him around to look pretty and keep people entertained, not to handle their "business." Did that keep him from poking his nose into it? No. It was mostly good fortune and the ability to chatter that had kept him from boiling in hot water, and both had kept him relatively safe thus far. Saying that had him looking for a bit of wood to knock, just in case; luck was fickle stuff, after all, which was why the lion didn't slip off when the announcement was made.

He was intrigued by the opportunity. Much of B's life was a physical language, and he knew his own body, its limits and skills, so he wasn't apprehensive about his ability to perform. If anything, he was anxious to begin- he just wasn't certain what such a small creature would teach given their difference in compositions. Lions were essentially big cats, but dissimilar densities and centers of balance would mean B'd have to translate his lessons. Ah well. Wouldn't be the first time.

The lion followed after the metal-limbed fellow to the beach, humming to himself for a moment, though listening attentively as another person he hadn't met yet -Ilijas- spoke. [color=#2f87af]"Y'know, sitting on people seems to do the trick for me most of the time."

Defense training. Oh boy, that was going to be something. Really, he hadn't fought anything in a while and mainly because well he was a top predator from where he had resided. Well, maybe not when it came to the orcas and the whales. But whales typically didn't eat anything bigger than a morsel like shrimp or plankton. But that didn't matter, he was a bit rusty and even he could admit something like that. He was a shark and his tendencies when blood was a factor could be dangerous and so he tired to keep his hunting in the water instead of hunting on land but he also knew that he would have to at least try hunting on land. Especially since he was going to have to spend more time with everyone. Flicking his tail the mutant would make his way forward, webbed paws stepping on to the beach as he allowed himself to smile just marginally. Most of the animals here he didn't know much beyond just first names. It bothered him a bit how behind he had become but it was his own fault and he'd try to make up a bit more than what he had been doing. "I'm down for learning how tae defend myself. Ya got some good tips I hope."

IN THE SUMMER SILENCE,
I WAS GETTING VIOLENT

Despite assigning this task to Bucky, the tigress didn't plan on attending - she nearly walked past the group, heading off to take her usual mid-day nap. But she caught the sight of the charcoal lion; she guessed him at around half her age, based on the lingering rosettes and growth of his mane. And she itches for a good fight, but nobody here came close to her weight class besides her sisters. And she's already brawled with them plenty of times before.

"I certainly hope you know a little bit more than brute force - you won't be able to out-muscle me," Quantum remarks with a chuckle as she walks up to Boywonder, assuming by virtue of their size that she'll be his teacher for today. And she doubted there'd be any argument with that; as the leader of the warfare guild, she liked to mentor anyone she found worth the time. Glancing at Bucky, she nods to him as she says, "I'll train him and any other massive beasts that show up." While she admires the assassin's ability to be proficient at his size, she would rather challenge herself and Boywonder today.

PERSEPHONE — FEMME — SUNHAVEN — RAY — 4 M/O

A mere spark, a mere speckle of what should come when she got much, much larger. Like her siblings, she was mixed with german shepherd, a working military dog built with jaw-power that could easily break human bones if given the time to. But, she was still young. Four moons was incredibly young, and she still had her adult teeth growing in. She'd become a Sunbearer in two moons, but she wanted to prove that she could fight just as much as anyone else could. Even if she was incredibly small.

So, when she heard Buckingham's announcement about a self defense class, Persephone immediately stood up from her place in a pile of leaves where she had been previously playing. The german shepherd-akita mix rushed over as fast as she could from her spot, skidding in beside Gordon impatiently. Curious blue hues focused on the creatures before her, and she gave the stuttering feline a kind smile before focusing back on the metal-limbed felidae.
"I'm here to participate, metalman!" She chimed cheerfully, her fluffy tail swishing side to side behind her.
