Regular training calls, Marcus was still trying to help the trainees via spars. This time however, he was going to avoid killing them. No more episodes of trainees being sent to the hospital. Granted he never killed anyone, removed limbs, but he still hurt people sometimes. He'd like to avoid that. Texting one of the names on his list, one he couldn't pronounce, Marcus figured that so long as the guy could understand hit what did it matter. He seemed sane and had a grasp of English before so... good bet. AstaraeI Text to Lucky: Hey, meet out on training field for a quick spar. See how well you're doing as far as fighting goes.

Marcus was not in luck. It looked like he'd texted one of life division's pale, four-eyed code monkeys. Lucky arrived blinking owlishly in the sunlight and clutching his weapon for moral support, a wicked several-foot saw that looked a good deal more threatening than the hunter himself.
"You vant to spar?" he asked uncertainly, as if there was still a faint hope Marcus might find him too pathetic to bother with.

Ah sunlight, he was sorry Lucky, if he could they would fight by the warm glow of a digital screen.
Marcus actually was fairly certain he'd never seen the trainee fight, and if he did? It was a distant memory. It was a pretty decent, and deadly looking weapon though. "Yeah. I'm trying to help you trainees out, see how you're doing as far as skills go." Holding up his own sword, Marcus motioned for Lucky to take first strike.
"Let's see what you can do."

Lucky hesitated, gradually bringing Song up to a manageable height. Unlike Lucky, the wendigo was practically purring at the idea of a spar.
What are you waiting for, darling? Attack!
Startled, he darted forward and swung the toothy end of the blade at Marcus, connecting with more than rune-engraved metal.

First blood. Marcus felt Dis take the hit, blade sinking in and the vampire getting excited at the aspect of feeding from FEAR. This was where things got interesting.
"Good start, now let's keep it up, see how well you can stay on you feet." A stab, Marcus wasn't going to go easy on the lifer.

The answer was barely.
The Moon hunter's blade stabbed disconcertingly through bones and organs alike, and while it hurt nearly as badly as being shot through the chest in Deathsweeper, there was a lot less blood and guts this time around, without a golem. In fact, it was as if it had bypassed his innards entirely - and upon removal the faint shimmer of the FEAR shield indicated its life-saving presence.
Lucky made a small, surprised noise as he was thrown back by the move and had just enough sense to slice downward with Song as he fell.
It was not very effective...

A slice to the FEAR was a slice to the FEAR, though Marcus made a small face over the trainee's reaction. "Never had a spar?" It was an honest question, one lacking in judgement and more curious.
"The shields will take the burnt, but it can still ruin your day. Part of why I've invested in heat and ice packs. When I started out I'd end up sore and on duty for things like jungle and lighthouse watch."
A slice, the hunter hoped he wasn't being too rough. "Just keep moving, helps make yourself a more difficult target."

"No... is not something I get used to," he admitted. It wasn't so much the lack of them as it was his effectiveness in avoiding them and dangerous missions both for a good long while until recently, where somewhere between being turned to stone and branded with a traitorous mark, he had lost his precious anonymity. Now everyone was texting him to come outside so they could beat him to death with their weapons. His strength was not in strength, and he'd never proclaimed it to be.
He was moving a little more upon Marcus's advice, though it was probably pitiful in comparison to most of what the full hunter had come up against. The speed afforded him the ability to make several carefully timed slashes at Marcus from the safety of Song's colossal length.

Marcus beat on you because he figured, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Or at least, teaches you how not to die. While Lucky managed, Marcus kept watching, not commenting until- "Sadly, you're going to have to be ready for a fight. Won't always have a moon to cover for you after all."
As a moon attempted to stab at him again.

As he drew away from his last attack, Song seemed... different. This time when he went to swing the blade, she did something completely unexpected. The runes on the blade flared to life, from blue to blinding white, and created a whirlwind of icy cold that wrapped around the blade.
Lucky had pretty much stopped to stare, since he had no idea she could do that in the first place.

Marcus didn't so much stare as hesitate just slightly, wary of what was possibly headed his way. When it looked like it wasn't going to accidentally blow up and hit him?
"Don't leave an opening unless you want to get a nice slice take out of you." It was a mild chide, but the attack wasn't exactly a kind one.

"Noted," the life hunter wheezed.
For all the cold swirly magic going on down Song's blade, it did little to actually aid his accuracy or heal the damage he'd already sustained. He stumbled, and just barely managed to make contact with Marcus's shield.
This wasn't going to go on for too much longer.

Dis was laughing, and the hunter frowned internally over the vampire's behavior. Really, he could be less a d**k about it. A trainee was just a trainee, he couldn't be expected to be a master of his weapon.
It had taken how long for Marcus to be proficient after all? Dis huffed in his head, muttering about how HE was a perfect weapon for the moon. Perfectly testy really.
Looking to Lucky, there was a light hit before he extended the offer. "Keep going and you'll drain yourself. Or, I risk hitting harder than your shield can take. Up to you if you are willing to risk pushing your own limits."
Is he a gambling man? .......no.

Marcus had the right idea about him.
After a few seconds of waiting for the next hit to come anyway, Lucky finally held up both hands in a universal gesture of 'don't hit me, bro.' The weapon in his hand flashed blue and resolved itself into a small, nonthreatening keychain with a lucky rabbit's foot dangling from the end, the claws just slightly too long. He looked a little out of it.
"If no emergency, I will avoid to compromise health, dziękuję." He tried to save face, readjusting his hunter coat and throwing the hood back over his head. Ah, Life division.

There was nod, Marcus understanding far to well the hesitance to engage in the spar further. "You did well. Just need a bit of practice with moving in battle- the better you can get at avoiding attacks, at taking a bow, getting just the basics, it'll save you in the long run."
Walking over, he gave the life trainee a sharp pat on the back.
"So, how does 6 am sound? I'll set you up with some basic defensive moves and counters. In a few weeks you should be ready for some more tactical and in depth training."
He was dead serious.
