Welcome to Gaia! ::

Maikeru got a malicious glint in his eye. "You didn't think that was my only one, did you?" He reached to the back of his calf and pulled out a tanto which he promptly threw at Nexo. Then he drew a small double-bladed throwing knife from a wrist sheath and whipped it at him as well, then the parrying dagger, then a small shurriken, another dart, a small steel ball.

If Nexo didn't do something soon the sheer numbe of projectiles would overwhelm him while Maikeru just stood there calmly throwing various objects, sharp and not so sharp, forcefully and accurately at various points of Nexo's body.

Maikeru blinked and smiled wickedly, "You know...I know some ladies, and guys as well, who would really like to get to know you and DämonBrecher." Maikeru laughed as he charged Nexo, having finally drawn his Zanpakutou. Holding it as if to run him through he would wait until the very last second, then twist his wrist, flipping the sword so the blade on the end of the hilt would strike Nexo instead. The change in length at such a moment would make it difficult for Nexo to block.

((not entirely sure I understood, sooo you let me stab you, made a replica of mine in your off-hand, and swung your original sword at me? ok tell me if I'm wrong))

Maikeru blinked in surprise, he twisted the hilt of his Zanpakutou, detaching the knife extension with a click, and swinging the now relatively normal katana to block Nexo's attack, the bad angle and little room to use such a relatively large weapon turned the already bad block into a horrible parry. Nexo's blade cut a long line down Maikeru's arm. Despite the pain, with his other hand he grabbed the hilt of the sai burried in Nexo's body and twisted slightly.
"Please give up, I don't want to hurt you too badly."

Reikai didn't have enough time to pull her zanpakuto out of the ground, and at the last second, she dodged the lower attack, while the higher one very nearly cut her arm off. She escaped with a large cut in her arm, before using her good arm to pull out her zanpakuto. She ignored the constant pricking of pain in her newly opened wound and darted at Lila again.

Reikai was pushed back a little, but it wasn't anything too serious. However, the feeling was not a very pleasant one, expecially with her wounded arm. She wasn't so energized anymore.

((Continuation from here.))

After several very strong drinks from the bar he had been arrested in not too long ago, William wandered around the place in search of a place to rest and think on his day. While he wandered, he heard the sounds of fighting that he knew all too well of from back on Earth. "At least there's something I can relate to herrre," it was a moment before he realized his "R" had rolled. "Oh not that as well!" he said to himself while the sounds of battle got louder.

Finally he arrived at his destination; something that looked like it served as training grounds for someone. "Well that makes sense," he thought to himself before spotting where the commotion was coming from. Two girls danced and swung blades at one another in what he assumed was practice. One of the girls was winning, but the other had a very strange sword compared to the wounded girl. He found a spot to relax and think under a tree while still able to watch the training. "If I am to join them, I might as well learn about them. Battle can tell you a lot about someone if you know how to read their movements."

He kicked back under the tree while the alcohol played tricks on him. When he drank, his mind stayed clear, and he could talk almost perfectly. His motor control over the rest of his body was not so good, which made him trip over a few roots and almost fall flat on his face while he attempted to sit down. With careful effort, he attempted to focus on the girls fighting, but he soon found himself fast asleep in the shade.

((Dream is in next post.))
