Everybody was Kung Fu fighting

WHO: Kaneki + a bunch of people he agreed to train with
WHERE: Any place with a porter, honestly. Kaneki can go around.
WHEN: All through the month.
WHAT: Kaneki asked for help, and help he got
WARNINGS: Thoughts of CANNIBALISM (opt-out can be found here), some violence, chances of blood. Tba. I’ll add more headers as necessary as well.

ANNIE Leonhart
[ Annie and Kaneki already meet once a week. They speak often, which is nice, and Kaneki does see her as a friend, even if he inevitably keeps some distance from her due to his own nature. After that Monday about the hacker and he found out she could turn into a titan (honestly, Titans are still not a reality Kaneki has faced, he still doesn’t know for sure what it entails completely) he’d like to think he understands her a bit better. Her reasons, the way she carries herself.

She is a friend, he concludes.

So there is still a lot of fear to approach her. A lot of fear to tell her certain things, and a lot of fear that it’ll crumble down if those things are found out. Because after all, it’s something Touka-chan made very clear: if someone finds out, they have to die, or their peace will be threatened. Not to mention, Kaneki can never tell someone outright “By the way, my diet consists of human flesh and blood, my coffee has blood to curb my hunger, and human flesh is better than anything I have ever experienced in this world, so it’s delicious and I can’t even pretend it’s not”. That would go well.

Sitting at the entrance of the warehouse, coffee in hand, communicator in other, Kaneki arrived earlier about twenty minutes. He is a bit nervous and probably regretting it a bit. Annie has been kind enough and offered to help him train, but he is still… thinking about what he got himself into. Can he even do this? What if something bad happens? What if he does something bad?

With a sigh, Kaneki looks up at the sky, taking a sip of his bloodied coffee (quite literally). At least he fed, so there is no risk of him getting hungry.

It’ll be fine.

Yeah. ]


REINER Braun
[ Kaneki is always punctual when it comes to meet another person, though when it’s someone he never met before, he decides it’s for the best to come earlier. Thirty minutes earlier. Certainly he regrets it after waiting for twenty minutes, but it’s alright, he is also patient and 30 minutes isn’t that much.

With a sigh, he looks at his communicator before he puts it back in his bag and takes a sip of the coffee he brought along. He is wearing gym clothes so he can work a sweat, but he didn’t leave home without his eyepatch; Kaneki is fed, so there is no risk of his eye reacting, but he also knows the eye reacts to wounds. He doesn’t want anyone seeing that.

Training with someone who isn’t a ghoul is a HUGE risk. He knows he might suddenly do something he shouldn’t and he knows there is a lot to say about his “super-strength” (ghoul strength, actually), as well as his sturdiness. So far he only fought ghouls, but humans with superpowers? How will a ghoul body react to that?

Oh, he is making himself nervous. Perfect.

With a sigh he pulls the communicator from his bag again to take a look at the network and the messages. He shouldn’t have come so early. ]


MINATO Arisato
[ Good news everyone, this time Kaneki won’t fight a person! So while he is usually so worried that he might do something wrong and hurt the person helping him train, this time around Kaneki is relieved to know he will be fight… ghosts? Well, he didn’t understand very well, but the other person said he could summon things to attack Kaneki with. He will soon find out what it means.

Waiting by the park at the set time, Kaneki holds a bag over his shoulder and a coffee cup on the other. He is almost done drinking his coffee and is fed, also set up to work out a bit. Though still very nervous, he tries to remain positive. It hasn’t gone wrong so far, so maybe it’ll keep being so.

The nervousness, though, it’s not just about him sparing with another person, but also because meeting new people is hard. He is a bit awkward, but he will always be polite, at least. ]


GREY
[ Kaneki is well fed, and is currently drinking coffee (he added a... small spice to it). His eyepatch is always covering his eye and he is currently wearing gym clothes. The spot he picked for this is far away from houses and almost no one comes, which is good, but he doesn't think by standers will be a problem if he is in control of his hunger.

Though he was so kind to offer, Kaneki isn't sure how he is going to spar with this person. After all, he doesn't have super-strength and... kaneki might hurt him real bad. It's not a good idea, it isn't. he knows that. But he also figures he can train on how not to use his strength during a fight, maybe.

With a sigh, the ghoul takes a sip of his coffee while he waits for a bit longer. This will be hard. ]


BRENDA del Vecchio
[ It's the first time Kaneki came to the school; because he is 18 (even if he doesn't look 18, ok, we all know that), it was never of his interest to see the High School. It's pretty different from what he expected (and saw in movies) and pretty different from what he remembers his High School in Tokyo to be. However, he is pleasantly surprised to know they have a big gym.

Once he arrives, he stays by the door of the gym, waiting patiently. He tries not to look suspicious and given how boring and normal Kaneki looks? Most people don't even realize he is there, or just assume he is a student at school. ]


SCATHACH
[ Tuesday, as agreed, Kaneki heads to the downtown Dojo. He didn't even know that existed in America, but he guesses Westerns are always very interested in martial arts, if not only because of the movies they watch. kaneki doesn't mind, he finds it interesting and helpful since he is now going to need said dojo.

Once arrived to the place, the boy takes a good looking at the building, before he steps inside, clinging to his bag. Now, all he has to do is to look for the person he spoke to, and that hopefully won't be hard to do.

the thing that will be hard? Control himself. Even if fed, even if mentally prepared, Kaneki is still quite nervous about it, and that much is obvious due to the way he looks around. ]

[ His skin feels strange. Oddly hard, not pliant as he might have expected. Grey frowns, trying to factor that in, but then Kaneki's leg comes up. His own legs are swept out from under him and he goes down hard.

He's used to a metal floor, not the solidness of the ground. It stings. Grey ignores that, and springs back to his feet. Almost at once he falls into a crouch, and then sprints at Kaneki. At the last moment he bounds off a wall, aiming for a high tackle and trying to get his arms around the other. He'll see what match strength might be for his own agility, while he ignores the stinging sensation in his back.

[ Kaneki drops out of his arms, and Grey automatically pulls back to avoid that elbow. He's breathing hard, and there's a determined focus to his eyes, now. This time he hangs back, his shoulders dropping low and his knees staying loose. He waits for Kaneki to make the next move. To anyone watching, it would almost be like a dance - Kaneki leading, Grey following. ]
