Welcome to Gaia! ::

A single man stands in the middle of an odd warehouse looking at the ground. Or, at one point, it was a warehouse. From the looks of the man's surroundings, the building was hastily altered in ways obviously not pertaining to all of physic's laws. A waterfall pours out of the wall of the aluminum siding, and the water gurgles lightly as it races between wildly grown trees. Several inches of dirt have piled upon the cracked cement floor, and the cieling somehow coated in ice. An unnatural breeze flows through the area, ruffling the treetops, while small insects flit about.

The man standing in the middle looks up, and swings a sturdy staff up onto his shoulder. With a small smile he quietly says to the emptiness around him, "Anyone up for a little round?".

He touches the ground lightly, and small bits of rock move to the surface, creating lines; a border.

The small smile continuing, he says, "Ah, alright, then."

He strolls to the nearest tree, and plucks 5 acorns from it. "I don't suppose you'll tell me your name?"

Putting the other four in his pocket, he clenches the other in his fist, nearly crushing it. A stick surrounded by loose bark grows out of his clenched fist. Pulling the bark off like a sheathe, Mekryd reveals a wooden sword.

"At least I can't stick myself with it..." Mekryd mumbles to himself, pulling a string of bark off of the sheath, and using as a shoulder strap. He begins to wield the bokuken in his right, and his staff in his left.

Stepping through the doorway, the cloaked figure leaned against the side of the wall by the doorway across from the woman in the pale blue gi. Pulling his hood back, long silver hair danced down underneath his coat and a few strands infront of his face that hid a portion of his emerald eyes. His eyes scanned the room taking note of the two people who looked like they were about to duel, and the one woman standing off to the side.

Brushing aside his long coat he put a hand on the hilt of his katana, ready to draw incase someone decided to spar without issuing a challenge ahead of time. He then released his grasp on the blade with a bit of reluctance and instead a quick flash was seen from his hands as his eyes focused in on the two getting ready to duel. The glint of light coming from his hands continued to flash every so often as he waited to see what took place between the two combatants.

without any indication or warning, a sharp breeze blows through the doors and windows, catching everyone's attention, if not for just an instant, and a figure with a dark trenchcoat walks in, carefully eyeing all those in the room, looking on with interest at the two who are getting ready to engage in battle...he takes the scabbard off from around his waist and leans it against the wall, where he sits next to the sheathed blade...his dark eyes glaring with intent...

the figure gets up...holding his sword by his side, and walks toward Spera..."would you like to train with me?" his eyes ablaze with the excitement of an upcoming battle...

im glad you decided to play with me...jjax puts down his sword and holds out his hand, a sharp wind blows a staff that was laying next to the one his opponent wields now into his outstreched hand, he now holds it out in Halberd-style, right hand in front of left, with the staff pointing towards his opponent..., "dont worry" he exclaims, "i mean no ill will by challenging you, i am merely intrigued by you...you merely strike me as a strong warrior...and i merely want to see how i measure up..."
he cracks a smile on the right side of his mouth..."
any time you're ready..."

jj spins around, back first, and lunges his staff out in a sweeping motion, attempting to trip spera...
he remains very low in his stance to create a smaller target for an attack by his opponent...

jj smiles a little at the attack...very nice...i like the way you use your weapon...remember...your staff is not your weapon...your body is the weapon, your staff is merely an extension of your body...and i like how u also use your body...i was right in assuming that you were skilled...

Edit:lol...ok...sorry bout that...that would hurt with yur helmet...u might just kill me w/that thing...lol blaugh

jjax turnd his upper body and his head to the left so that he faces Spera... he spins the other way (to the right) and faces spera, he launches a side kick at her upper body and lunges her staff at her lower body by pointing the stick between his outstretched legs...
