Horace had sent out an urgent text. Urgent. Quote: Text To: Oliver, Harley BATTLE. lets spar, ok. one of you bring someone? Quote: Text To: Oliver, Harley in like five min Horace felt jumpy in his own skin as he headed to the field. He just kind of wanted to hit a rather lot of things at once. And if neither of them could show, well, he'd find someone. Anyone. He leaned against a training dummy, book in hand, and waited.

Horace was not the only one on the fields, not far from his dummy, a petite girl was hitting one with a sphere. To be specific, she was using her big hammer to make the round sphere bounced off the dummy one after another, it looked similar to the sport game called squash.

It was a good thing Oliver had not been near a coffee maker when he received the text, he was starting to fall back into his normal routine since getting out of the infirmary, and part his normal routine happened to include coffee fetching when texted out of the blue. It wasn't until he was already leaving the building that it occurred to him he could have brought some drinkable coffee anyway. It wouldn't have been a bad idea, had he thought about it earlier. At the edge of the training field he looked around. He couldn't see the bright red hair that signalled Harley's presence, but he did catch sight of Horace. "Hi!" Oliver said, joining the Death trainee at the dummy. "I was just cleaning up, but there was nobody I could bring..." His smile was a little sheepish, made more so as the boy scratched the scar on the bridge of his nose. He was still getting used to that one, several times already he had been startled to see it there when he looked in a mirror. It was not as glaringly noticeable now that it was healed at least... Looking away in his usual nervous manner, that was when Oliver saw Shu not too far off. If he waved, would she see him? They did need another person, but the Life intermediate was too shy to actually go through with the gesture.

Harley yelped at the text she had received a minute after it was sent, and sent back the most urgent of replies.Quote: Text to: Horace, Oliver K BUT HOLD UP take 6min 2 get there!! Then she ran, as fast as she could, through Deus to get to the training fields. She made good time, taking only four and a half of the proposed six minutes, but as she skidded onto the field she spotted someone vaguely familiar only a foot or so away. As in, someone whose photo she saw on twitter, and who had been talking to her about pokemon briefly.
"Hey! I know you!" She hopped over, hanging back to avoid the other girl's giant weapon. "um, Dong Shu Lei?" She said, trying to not entirely butcher the pronunciation. "Right?!" But she didn't often forget a face - a name, yes. The situation, yes. But faces? Nope. So without waiting for much of an answer, the trainee continued.
"A couple buddies are gonna get some sparring practice in, wanna join?" She pointed towards the two boys who were already on the field, waiting for her.
She was now at seven whole minutes.

The hearing of the girl's voice resulted in a prompt pause, the momentum made the sphere bounced off the dummy. When everyone thought it would hit on the girl's face, she jerked her hammer to divert the direction of it. " Spar! I love spars. You can call me Shu. Most people find it hard to say it, so Shu's fine." The petite girl's vision was blocked at that angle, thus she made a detour with her head and spotted the boys at far. "Ah, I know them!" Taking Harley's hand she trotted over. " Hello Oliver, you recovered? Sorry that I forgot your last name." After a surprise hug, her head turned to the taller hunter, " You're Horace right? Nice to meet you face-by-face." Shu was always ready for new friends. " Shu, intermediate from Death division, glad to meet you." The enthusiastic Asian looked across the three of them, eyes sparkled with excitement. It was difficult to tell whether it was for the 2 vs 2 spar or making new friends. " So how do we divide into two teams?" She inclined her hammer into a resting position, the accessory at the end of the shaft rang.

Horace grinned down at Oliver. "That's okay - you is enough. Damn, that sentence sounded strange. Anyway, just waiting on the-" And then he stopped her. "HATTIE, YOU'RE LATE!" If he'd had a watch, Horace would've tapped it threateningly. Not that the time really mattered, he just wanted to see how quickly people would assemble. He smiled at the new girl. Fantastic! Four people was just the right amount. "Yep, I'm Horace, pleased as always to meet a pretty girl." He rubbed the side of his head. "How about boys versus girls?" With a flick of his wrists, he summoned Jannisari. Horace wondered what types of weapons Harley and Oliver had.

Oliver smiled as Harley seemed to make friends mid-dash, and dragged Shu over to their forming assembly. "Yeah, I'm okay," he replied to the small girl with a shy smile, scratching his scar right where it crossed his nose. "You?" At the mention of a girls vs. boys scenario, Oliver was immediately overwhelmed with the situation. In his mind, Horace and himself were already outnumbered by the sheer amount of girl enthusiasm. Horace seemed as confident as ever though. He was certainly walking into a trap. Oliver took his cue from the other teen anyway, summoning his own giant axe. In fact, the moment it materialized it's blade thumped heavily on the ground, causing Oliver to stare widely. This was the first time he had really noticed the change that occurred in his weapon during the Sahara mission, now the weapon was larger, and it's blade reminiscent of the great leviathan's own skull. Jökul rumbled proudly, as though that was enough explanation for the change.
Hesitantly he lifted it, and gave it an experimental swing.

"Shu it is!" That was much easier, and a lot less likely to be horribly butchered with her terrible pronunciation. But as she turned to show Shu off the the boys, her thunder was immediately stolen by that damned Horace, and his bellow.
"I'm sorrrRRYYY" Harley whined, loudly, and pouted as she wandered over to him, lightly punching him in the shoulder. "YES! BOYS VS GIRLS!" She screamed, before bounding over to her new partner and linking arms with her, though their vast height difference meant that she simply ended up hugging the girl around the shoulders, for fun.
One by one, the weapons came out; Shu's hammer was already summoned, then Horace's and Oliver's axe (whoa, okay, she didn't want to spar him any more that thing was huge). Which meant it was her turn. Grinning, she stepped away from her partner and summoned Lament, the teeth of massive metal axe landing with a heavy clink on the ground.
"Hey, Big weapon party!" Minus Horace, but there was a chance he had a big weapon elsewhere, so she let that slide. "So how'd we do this? Can we use FEARs?"

" Me? Just practicing with my hammer. The fields are rarely only a few kittens today, so I sneaked in for my training. I don't want my lameness to be seen by a large group." She scratched her hair, figured what to speak. The nickname drew her attention, Hattie sounded adorable, she wondered if she could call the female hunter by that as well. The flattering from Horace caused her cheeks flushed with a light pink, quite obvious on the pale Asian skin. < Flirty.> The beast disliked redhead and males wearing glasses, knowing his hunter typically have an affinity towards them. Horace's suggestion resulted in a grin on her face, " Don't underestimate me because I'm a petite girl", she winked impishly, didn't bother by the weight added by Harley. The little Asian enjoy close contact, making them like big and small penguin when they walked, due to their height differences. " WoooOOOOOoooow Oliver, you have got a BIG axe. Is it heavy? They're a dinosaur? It looks GREATTTTTTTT!" said the girl with amber sparkly eyes. The withdrawal of cuddle made Shu pouted, but soon it was replaced by an emotion called amusement. " Harleyyyyyyyy~ You have a giant axe as well! Why I feel like being stared when I look at your epic wepaon? It's weirddddd I know! It looked like a skull, were they a skeleton?" She eagerly asked. Finally, it was Horace's. It does look less destructive on a first sight, but Shu wasn't the type that judge a book by its cover. Thus, similar amount of attention was given. " Horace~ What was your weapon?" It was like an unspoken practice for the nosy girl to ask what others' weapons were, as if meeting more new friends. " This is Z, he was a mythical creature from Chinese myths." The girl picked the giant hammer up as if it's nothing, " are you ready?"

"Oh my god," he moaned in mock horror. "How come I'll the biggest person here but have the smallest weapon? I'm going to die. I have learned the hard way to never underestimate a petite hunter - y'all hit hardest." Abruptly, he dropped the melodramatic act and grinned back at Shu. He twirled one tekko around his hand and Jannisari sternly told him to {stop that.}"This is Doctor Jannisari. She's tekkos - kinda like brass knuckles, but she was a plague doctor." And she was likely smarter than he, but that wasn't hard, he thought self-depreciatingly. He rocked back on his heels. "Ladies first, I guess."

"I-it's kinda heavy... But not too bad." Oliver replied, lifting the axe over his head to test a downwards swing. It was heavier, but it didn't seem to have any negative effects. He could still handle the weapon. Although he was still sure the girls would give himself and Horace a thorough thrashing. "Small weapons can be a lot faster!" The boy scratched his face where the scar crossed his nose, looking a little sheepish. Most of the new marks on his skin, including the one crossing his face, had been dealt by a small bone dagger. He would never underestimate a small weapon.

"It's probably not a compensation thing!" Harley supplied to Horace's rather good question, her free arm going in the air as if being called on in class. "Luck of the draw, I guess~ Still yours are cool, probably super easier to manoeuvre." She cast a gaze that was only slightly judging down at her massive weapon, who seemed to stare back.
"This is Lament! I only know that she's a girl. It only talks in whistles and playing the alphabet game takes too long so I'm just leaving it at that." She informed the others, hearing the continued whistling of regular conversation in her head. "But I imagine skeleton something, Shu~ It's what makes sense." Not that she had thought about it until the petite girl had said something, but...yeah.
They all seemed to stand there for a moment, waiting for someone to strike, and it was then that Harley jumped suddenly, grabbing Lament with both hands and taking a rather sudden swing at Horace, of her two options. HP: 40/40 Target: Horace Damage: 2 Charge: 1/3

Lament and Harley; Dr. Jan-ni-sa-ri and Horace and ??? and Oliver, Shu mumbled, figured the boy might be too nervous to remember to give his weapon's name. " Awww don't be unhappy, I know hunters with small weapons that can deal great damage, I believe you can do so as well, like Oliver and Harley said." There were so many different kinds of species that made it like a friend-making party, therefore Shu suggested: " Let's make a promise, next time when either of us put our weapon in a golem, they have to visit the rest! I want to talk to your weapons guys~" The feet in boots tapped the ground quickly for one or two steps. " Nice assault, Harley!" She jumped to give the girl a hug. Picking her hammer up, she chose to hit another boy with warning, " Oliver, watch out~" It didn't work out as good as she thought, something was wrong. Z? Are you okay? The girl wanted to refute with the fact that before the spar started, they had been practicing for a while. The beast muttered with small volume, without an explanation.
"Sorry, I messed up." She stuck her tongue out at Harley for an apology.
