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.

-You can see the small beads of sweat going down Asagi's face when she realizes he ended up straight behind her-

Asagi: ...Frankly, I'm rather terrified.

-She turns and takes a deep breath, looking at Auron's stance-

(@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?"

Asagi: First mistake I ever made was assuming something was harmless because it didn't carry a weapon...

-Lunges forward at Auron and swings with a bit more confidence-

(@Albert) Hastur: It depends on whether you'd like another trip into the desert.

(@Roy) Hastur: Y'see, there are some shards of my amniotic shell left at the place of my arrival. It's only about in half an hour's walk from here. I guess I'll fetch some from there.

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?"

Asagi: ...

Kay...

-She attempts to swing with intent to kill, although it's clear she's straining herself to actually do something that hostile in intent-

-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."

-Asagi drops to her knees and looks a bit relieved if incredibly worn out and a tiny bit pale-

Asagi: Heh...thanks...that's the best praise I think I've gotten in a while...

-Auron looks impassively at his exhausted apprentice for a moment, then sighs.-

Auron: "...You're welcome. From now on I can train you more traditionally. My apologies."

"It was how my master taught me. But I'm not exactly normal."

Asagi: Heh...Don't worry about it. I learned most of my fighting on my own...I'm used to doing it the hard way. smile

-Shakingly gets herself back to her feet-

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?"

Asagi:-Takes a stance again and nods-

Yes sir.

-She takes another swing-

-Her training would likely be much easier, now that she understands just what Auron's intent is and how seriously she needs to take this-

-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.-

(@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?

-As Hastur speaks, Auron holds up a hand to stop his training session with Asagi.-

Auron: "Sounds fine to me. When do we go?"

-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.
