Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( I really wish you guys woudn't delete so many posts from under my nose surprised I'm so confused now xD And cold, i was always thinking, wheather similar to like, middle japan, or north texas. Just cold enough to snow in the winter, but not like, below 20's cold. ))
Aonice rolled her eyes as Rioushu went back into the guest room, then quickly diverted her attention to Gatz. "The house heater is working fine, i've got a fire place, and i thought we were gonna use the training room anyways" She reminded him, still leaning on the wall with her small arms crossed.

"Rio," Gatz said with a myrthful smile, "with as much trouble as you get into, I'm surprised you still know the difference between a clean shirt and a bloody one." He looked at Aonice and frowned a little.

"That may be, but does it have an indoor pool? The art I was planning to have you train in requires a lot of water..."

(( Incase you didn't look through the first post, the house isn't That huge, it's just a manor, not a castle >.> And we're all in the lobby/living room right now surprised ))

"Aonice raised a brow, "Nonesense, theres no reason for anything to be in my house, construction just finished up a few days ago" She explained, "The whole place is brand new." She then turned back towards Gatz, "And i do have a pool, beneath the training room." She pointed forward and down, as she was still leaning on the wall that faced the entrance to the stairs. "It's not indoor, so it could be incredibly cold, if not iced over" She blinked, "Why, what're you gonna teach me?"

Gatz beamed at his student, the light dancing in his eyes showing that he had been waiting for just that question.

"Why, only one of the greatest, most respected physical disciplines known to mankind!" he replied with enthusiasm, jumping up onto the couch. "This ancient art has been passed down through the ages. It's renowned world-wide for its usefulness, and can be found taught in any number institutions across the globe! The technique has hundreds of variations for one to master. And most importantly, it is a skill absolutely essential for living near any large body of water!"

The entity finished his wild gesturing in order to pose triumphantly, pointing off into the distance.

"The martial art you shall be learning today is--" As Gatz spoke the last word, one could practically picture the scene in his head: a bright, sun-lit beach, crashing waves, the warm summer sun beaming down. And most noticeable of all, dozens of curvy, skimpily clad bikini-babes.

"--SWIMMING! heart " ((... ^^;; In retrospect, I'm only surprised my character didn't suggest this sooner.))

After holding the pose for a moment, Gatz sighed and dropped his arm, letting his shoulders slump a bit in dissappointment.

"... But if the only pool is frozen over, that could be a slight problem..."

Iron John made his way back to the manor. His walk was a bit awkward, and he moved with a off balanced swagger. He definitely not going in a straight line, and it seemed it was a miracle that he was even still going. In one hand, he held a nice, large jug of rum. From the looks of him, he had been at it for a bit.

The man's dress was something from ages ago, back when even light bulbs weren't around. A seaman's coat and vest deep blue in color with golden trim. A white button up shirt under neigh those. Dark black trousers were tucked into knee high leather boots. Various gems and rare metals were scattered about him, in piercings and ornaments. His face was covered in piercings, in his ears, eyebrow, nose, lips, and probably more places. Adding to this was a black choker, with a gem studded skull on the front of it.

Overall, a interesting appearance. He made his way up the few steps and to the front door of the mansion. Last time he gave up after knocking, but not this time. He would simply burst the door open and step inside. One hand was planted firmly on his hip, just above the crooked belt, while the other was gripping his sword, strapped to his side.

" 'Allo? Anyone home?"

((Well, Rio did ask Gatz if they were going to go swimming in the frozen pool, I said nothing about Aonice not being naked...I mean in a swimsuit))

((What the? My turn already? Damn.))

Rioushu was a bit surprised by Aonice admission to not being good at swimming. "Really? Those legs look pretty powerful and...is that a hobbit?" Rioushu asked, motioning over to Gunyo. "Gratz miss, you have someone shorter than you around." Rioushu joked.

"All the more reason you should improve!" Gatz replied cheerfully. As Aonice was distracted, he leaned over towards Rio and whispered.

"... As much as we'd like it to be so, it turns out that large hips and a healthy rack don't make do much for having a fluidly-dymanic bodyshape. Lots of drag while moving in the water, you see..."

Gatz turned away from the ninja to wink at Aonice.

"--And remember kids, the difference between 'water' and 'vodka' in Russin is only one supposed to be one letter!" he said cheerfully.
