(@Auron) Hastur: Died, but... You mean this world is kinda... Limbo to you people? The void between the spheres? ...Ah, crap.
The King In Yellow has managed to make a decent red colour out of brick dust, as well as some indigo out of bluebells. But dandelions seem either too scarce or too sickly to make a good yellow colour.
Hastur: ~sigh~ And then I thought I'll get some of my powers back. Who knows how much would that help us... Hm. ~his face looks like there should be a lightbulb flashing above his head~ I guess I know what to do.
-He's just...standing there.-
-Looking at her.-
Auron: "I told you I wouldn't fight back. Didn't I? If you're scared by a harmless opponent, you won't last long."
-He takes exactly five (Auron-sized) steps backwards.-
"Try again."
-to Hastur- "...No. I have no idea where this is. I doubt it. Most of these people don't seem dead."
Be kind.-*At the shooting range, there's a row of tables under some old ships and at the business end of the are mostly planks, moofaloo skulls on sticks, and cardboard cutouts of crude Hyperion Logos*
Roy: *At the tables, he places 3 kinds of weapons, a blunderbuss with so much wires and dirty computer chips hooked on, a revolver made of pipes, and a 2 handed rifle looking thing made of scrap metal.*
@Hastur "Uhhh...what?"

Auron: "Fair."
-He takes another step out of the way of the swing, nodding.- "Better. More confidence, but not enough."
"Swing with purpose this time. Try to kill me."
-He's...completely serious.-
-He glances over at Hastur.-
Auron: "...Need a bodyguard, Old One?"

Be kind.-A loud rustle fills the air as Auron turns slightly to his right and pushes out his left arm, still covered in the haori sleeve.-
-Another, even louder clang replaces the rustling noise, as Asagi's blade bites the bracer on Auron's wrist, hidden underneath the cloth.-
Auron: "...Better. Still hesitant. Fair enough. It's a tall order."
-He pushes her blade to the side, regarding the slightly torn cloth with indifference.- "I appreciate the clean cut. It'll make it easier to sew."
-He fixes the ruffles put into it by the action, then nods to her.- "...Good job."
Be kind.Auron: "Still, I..."
-A moment, then he shakes his head.- "...Hmph. Almost got me to show my human side for a moment there. I'm growing soft."
-He walks over to his giant sword and pulls it out of the ground, hefting it onto his shoulder and facing Asagi.- "Shall we continue the hard way, then?"
Be kind.-This time, Auron straight up takes his arm out of his sleeve and smacks Asagi's blade aside with the bracer.-
Auron: "I may be old, but my reflexes still work. Somewhat. So we go."
-He continues to train her, and it's clear that Auron doesn't hold back when he doles out practice swings; obviously, he isn't aiming to kill her, or even hit her actual body, but she would definitely feel it with each presumably blocked blow.-
-On his part, Auron takes any hits that Asagi manages to land — which, as the training goes on, would become a larger and larger number — like a champ.-
-The entire time, the aging samurai keeps a running commentary on Asagi's performance, doling out more 'practice swings' according to her performance.-
"Up!"
"Turn your sword to the right!"
"Too slow!"
"Harder! Go for the throat!"
"Once more!"
-...et cetera, et cetera.-
-The man's a product of his time and his order of warrior monks, most definitely.-
Be kind.(@Auron;Roy;Albert) Hastur: I bet you can come along, sure. I'm pretty sure that there's nothing really dangerous out there... or nothing that we can't handle. The place got likely a bit contaminated by my presence, and thus the veil separating this world from Dreamlands might be thin. Expect some bizarre sights around.
(@Asagi) Hastur: Asagi-chan, maybe you'd wanna apply some field practice to your swordplay skills?

@Hastur Albert: "Sounds like Monday.
As long as they can bleed or take damage, I'm fine."

Will make dad jokes for friends.-Damn. That girl's actually trying. Auron's old-school training seems compatible with the self-doubting wannabe hero...or maybe she's used to hard labor-
-Either way, she's very slowly improving tonight. She's definitely not skilled, but Auron can see she has potential-
-And is currently taking a break after the training session was stopped by Auron-
Asagi: Field-practice...? Oh, sure, coolio.

We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)

Auron: -to Hastur- "Those that have died but haven't been sent on."
"Could be I'm not one anymore. You never know."
-He turns his head towards Asagi coming towards him.-
"Hmph."
-He steps around his sword planted in the ground, pulling a swift one-eighty and ending up behind her.-
"Scared?"
Be kind.
