WHO: Jolyne, Chrollo, a dash of Josuke and some other creepers
WHERE: the wild lands of... near heropa
WHEN: 2/8
WHAT: SPARRING. because if you're gonna rob a bank you wanna know what's in the vault first.
WARNINGS: fight....ing...
[She's never actually sparred with anyone before, so this whole thing is a bit odd from the outset. All of her fights have been real ones, high stakes and dangerous, and without the luxury of practice. It always served her well enough in learning, so trading blows with someone for the hell of it was never high on her priority list back home. But here? There was danger present, yes, but not quite so aggressively so, so it's not a bad idea to get some practice in. To keep on her toes at least. Or to see what others are capable of.]
[In this instance, she's very curious about that. Chrollo doesn't exactly seem like the fighting type, and yet he was interested enough to agree to this, so then...]
[And she's expecting something brutal, which is why she invited Josuke along... even if it took some convincing to get him to agree to come out to this secluded area, at the edge of one of the nearby marshes. Out of the way, so they won't disrupt anybody (or get into trouble), still close enough to the roadways that if something went wrong, they wouldn't all be stranded out here. And the scenery just adds to the oddness of it, for her - reminding Jolyne of other fights in similar places, far more dangerous ones. Other friends at her side.]
[It puts her a little on edge, perhaps, at the same time that it makes her a bit melancholy as she waits to start. The sort of mood that causes one to stare quietly out over the scenery for a few moments, apparently lost in thought, and then to speak very softly to no one in particular--]
...is that an alligator?

[And he can tell she's an excellent defensive fighter, although - did he literally just hit through her? More than once? He watches more closely and is just about to try to trigger whatever that was again when she pushes back and tries to kick him and...]
[You know what, he's just going to let her hit him. But he's also going to shield the blow. Which means when her kick lands, he jumps back a foot grinning.]
That was good.
[Oops when did he get behind her? He kicks at the back of her knee.]
no subject
[...never mind, she's getting kicked. And there's no real time to dodge it, though she manages to shield herself from the brunt of it and lets her knee buckle, bringing her ungracefully - but still on balance and ready - to her hands on the wet earth.]
Liked that one, huh? I got more.
[And, well, since she's down there anyway... just gonna go ahead and swing a handful of mud at him. No doubt it'll miss its target, but it'll give her a moment to get back to her feet and, perhaps, provide some distraction from the threads she sends out, this time along the ground towards him.]
no subject
He sees those strings, thanks lady. Which means he just kind of moves out of their way, mostly because he's curious about what she'll do. Will they follow him? If so, that's a pretty impressive level of control over something like a string.
Frankly, he's also curious about whether she'll notice that he can see them, or just assume it was a coincidental movement.
Well... let's see!]
