Melvin turned off twitter and rose up from his chair, stretching wide and pressing his hands on the small of his back to work out the terrible back kink he had from sitting too long. He had to spar more often, and was glad someone picked up his offer. It had been a long time since he trained, and due to - certain circumstances, he wanted to focus as best he could on getting better. That way, no one else would consider him too useless on a mission to worry about him.
Grabbing his jacket and leaving his scarf and sweater behind in the greenhouse, he headed to the training fields and set his jacket on a training dummy to hold it and keep it wrinkle free while he waited for Nellie. He tried to keep his eyes out for any person who looked like the photo on her Twitter account.
When he finally spotted her, he waved to get her attention to show who and where he was. "Hey. Are you Nellie?"

She needed to train and get better at what she was supposed to do as soon as possible. That was the one thought that Nellie had been fixated on ever since that mission which she had miraculously survived without getting infected or injured. A stroke of beginner's luck was what the Life techs had said when they declared her a clean bill of health and fit to resume her training any time. Nellie knew better than to count on something as fickle as that. The images of the blood, dead and those grieving for their fallen friends were still fresh in her mind even up till today. So much so that she had decided to take it upon herself to ensure that she as well as those whom she had grown to care for would not end up in a similar situation one day.
Niflheim had warned without going into specifics as to what he meant by that. Nellie left it at that for now, a small smile on her face as she waved back to Melvin who had called out to her then headed over to join him. "Yes. You must be Melvin then." She was tempted to ask how the muffins had turned out but didn't want to risk coming across as rude or distract the other hunter from the spar that was supposed to take place first. "So um... how does Melvin want to go about this?" This was admittedly only her second time sparring with another so she wasn't really sure if there was a specific way that some would tend to go about it.
MoonKitsune Thanks for starting this! <333

Nellie had spoken strangely in third person online, but he was wondering if that was a writing quick. However, when she addressed him by his name instead of using 'you,' he guessed maybe English wasn't her first language.
"Yes, I'm Melvin. Melvin Wood. I'm from the Life division. It's nice to meet you, Nellie." He confirmed.
"It's easy. We pick a spot and then we start. How about I start the spar to get us warmed up." He said, guessing that she was asking how to go about this because she hadn't done this before. "You're new I take it?"
He said, moving over a few feet away but still in hearing distance. His weapon was ranged so he didn't want or need to be near her in order to fire.
"I hope you know how to summon your weapon." He said as he reached behind his ear where a red ink pen was held and held it out before it changed into a red gun with glowing green ruins. "Just go with the flow and listen to your weapon a bit - unless they are stupid. Then ignore them." He said, because Melvin had ignored Saliva for a while when he first started and still occasionally did.
He pointed his gun at her and narrowed his eyes. "Get ready."
And he fired. It wasn't a direct hit, merely grazing her, but it did the trick. HP: 50/50 Dmg: 4 Charge: 1/3

"Nellie. Nellie Fenette from the Mist division. Pleased to meet Melvin too." She quickly introduced herself the same way that Melvin did, willing herself to relax a little when he didn't make any mention of the odd way in which she wrote and spoke. Not every hunter whom she had interacted with over Twitter was like that. "Sounds good to Nellie." She agreed, taking a couple of steps back from Melvin so that they both were about equal distance from where they were previously.
"Yeah. Is it really that obvious that Nellie is new to this?"
Niflheim readily heeded her call the moment she requested his presence, the bracelet that she wore on her wrist replaced by a pair of red and black fighting gloves over her hands. "Done. Nellie's lucky that Niffy isn't stupid then." She giggled at the other hunter's remark of the stupidity of some weapons, her expression turning serious now at the shot that grazed her side as she broke into a dash towards Melvin.
Niflheim remarked dryly as she swung her arm prematurely and barely managed to nick the other hunter's fear shields.

"I could only tell because I never met you before and because you asked how we went about sparing." He pointed out, backpedalling as quickly as he could to get more distance. As he moved backwards, he then started to move to the right, circling her a bit in order for her to not directly slam those fists into her head on.
"Niffy is your weapon? Mine is Saliva. She used to be a Mongolian Death Worm and has a bit of a mouth on her."
You don't even know. I only need a mouth like this because your deaf. Need to shout at you just to get anything across. I have seen woehounds who understood better than you.
"How are you liking the island?" He asked, ignoring Saliva with a smirk to show he was intentionally not responding to her.
He aimed again and fired another plasma blast at her.

"Point taken." Nellie stood her ground, keeping her gaze trained on Melvin before advancing towards his new position once again. "Yes. Niffy's name is actually Niflheim though. Nellie just thought that Niffy sounded cuter. Niffy said he used to be a fire warg."
Taking a step then another towards the blond hunter, she pushed off from the ground, a mistimed dodge allowing the shot that was aimed at her to slip past her shields and sear the entire length of her forearm this time. Gritting her teeth at that, she quickly closed the distance that remained between the both of them then aimed a blow at his hand in the hope of disarming him.
"Nellie likes it here so far. People are generally nice. It's like a big and lively family sorta." Cradling her arm close to herself, she rubbed it lightly a few times in an attempt to sooth as she slowly took a step back then another to observe what Melvin would do next. "So um... how long has Melvin been awake and on this island now?"

The hit stung and it threw his weapon out of his hand, but just as it went away, he ran over to pick it up again and turned back to her. The quick motion threw his aim off and he fired, just clipping her this time.
He used the moment from grabbing his gun to continue to step back. "I think I've been here about 2 years now. I'm hoping to get promoted soon if I'm lucky." And if he could focus on other things. It was hard to judge when the uppers felt you were deserving of anything, let alone a promotion.
"I don't think we're so much a family as just trying to keep everyone alive. I tried a Thanksgiving once and it went to hell. I'd keep in mind that not everyone is looking out for you and your best interests." He pointed out, hoping that Nellie didn't see Deus in too rosey a view before finding out the truth.
"Same goes for our superiors. The leads are more business than here to make friends. Just take everyone with a grain of salt." And maybe then she would be able to live a bit longer without being blind to the things he was too naive to see when he first came. HP: 40/50 Dmg: 4 Charge: 3/3 baby_gwing Still want to finish this?

< You need to get in closer. Whittle down his shields without giving him the advantage of distance given the type of weapon he's wielding. > Niflheim growled, exasperated at the lack of progress Nellie was making so far with the amount of damage she was taking compared to Melvin. The Mist trainee chewed on her lower lip. < Nellie will try... > Came her tentative reply before it was interjected by the weapon's warning of the shot that was fired her way.
< Incoming shot! Heads up! >
Staring wide-eyed like a deer caught in the headlights, Nellie reflexively lifted her arms, the shot deflected by the punching gloves this time as Niflheim gave a huge sigh and opted for another approach instead. < Look here pup. You have to take the fight to him instead of keeping your distance like this and letting him pick you off in his own time. There's only so much I can do to protect you but you have to listen and work together with me here. >
She gave a nod at both Niffy's and Melvin's words. "How do promotions happen? ... Nellie means, what is Melvin supposed to do in order to be entitled to a promotion here?" Taking a moment to compose herself, the Mist trainee blinked at the Life Intermediate's words. "Okie. Nellie will remember that then." If she went along with that train of thought, would that be applicable to him too? "Does this apply to Melvin as well...?" She really hoped not. The blond seemed like a really nice guy all in all so far compared to some of the others whom she had talked to briefly over Twitter.
