Tommy was incredibly bored of shooting and punching at dummies. It also wasn't exactly the most exciting day on the training field, which was practically abandoned. He idly wondered if there was perhaps a meeting going on somewhere that he was supposed to be attending, or if maybe half the island had been swept away on some Big Important Mission that he knew nothing about. Letting out a sigh, arms swinging back and up, gauntlet clad fingers lacing behind his head, Tommy spun on his heel and walked backwards a few paces, before collapsing cross-legged on the ground and lowering his arms if only to put his chin on a fist. So bored. It was just then that he noticed movement out of the corner of his eye, and his head lifted, swiveling towards the person who was walking by. "SALVE!" Tommy straightened up completely, pushing himself deftly to his feet while calling out and waving with one hand in the direction of the person who was clearly their to alleviate his boredom. "Hello! Would you like to spar?" He yelled across the grounds, all while mentally chanting to himself say yes please, say yes please, say yes please......

Most of his body parts had recovered from the last spar Matt had participated in, however this did not solve the problem of his clothes. Another pair of pants ruined, along with one of his favorite dress shirts. At this rate he was going to be out of a wardrobe and having to run around in his boxers for a couple of weeks and at the rate he was moving he might end up losing those too. Obviously ordering and shipping was out of the question, it meant he was going to have to assign some sort of vacation day to go but where. Matt continued to walk, his head in thoughts of where the largest mall was, what sort of stores they had there and all the important matters of clothes and shoes he could think of that he didn’t pay attention to the fact he had walked near the training grounds. It wasn’t until a voice called out that He looked up and over to someone waving at him. Unfamiliar face for that matter, he thought looking around before returning the wave just incase someone else was there and to keep himself from looking like an idiot. “Err, I guess I have some time to spar, yea sure.” Summoning his spear Matt headed towards the figure, “names Matt nice to meet ya.”

Oh good! "Excellent!" Tommy grinned, voicing his enthusiasm at having found a partner to spar with. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Matt~" His Italian accent was light, his voice rather cheerful. "I am Thomas, but I would rather if you could call me Tommy, please." Noting that the other man had a spear, he began to formulate a plan of attack in his mind, all while continuing to smile. Shrugging his shoulders and rolling his head from side to side while shaking out his arms, he then lifted his gauntleted hands, fingers curling into fists that left spikes jutting out from his knuckles, the small mounted crossbows on top of his wrists left unstringed for now. "Shall we begin then?" He grinned, clearly more then ready to get started.

Matt raised a brow as the hunter spoke; there was an accent that he wasn’t entirely sure if it was Italian authentic or merely growing up with family (or who knew too many mafia movies). He nodded as Tommy mentioned his name to give acknowledge of what to call him as he started to pull of his jacket and folding it on a bench.
Turning his attention back he groaned a little as he saw that Tommy’s weapon was a pair gauntlets with spikes, it reminded vaguely of another weapon that had ruined a pair of clothes. Nothing that he was likely as quick as the last opponent Matt took a stance of defense to be on the safe side, avoiding contact was best.
“Sure."

Not wasting any time Matt lunged forward, however he put little force behind not wanting to get too close to his opponent, at least not yet. He still wanted to judged Tommy’s movement before getting too close to him too hit square on. HP: 40/40 Damage: 1 Target: Tommy Charge: 1/3 Seussi Figured I would go ahead <3

Matt made the first move, and Tommy stepped in closer, attempting to avoid getting hit too hard but also wanting to get in where he could land a swift punch. Ducking low before springing forward to close what distance Matt had put between them, it seemed that the mist trainee was actually quite light on his soft leather booted feet as he soon found himself near enough to make a quick jab towards one of the other man's shoulders. "So." He asked, attempting to duck back again as quickly as he had darted forward. "Have you been here long?" He, of course, did enjoy to converse while competing in a friendly spar. HP: 39 Damage: 3

As Matt thought he was quick on his feet like Horace had been, making the spear a bit of a disadvantage when it came to close to him. Unable to block the jab to his shoulder ached and sent a tingling sensation down to his fingertips as if hitting a funny bone. He watched as Tommy duck back, however Matt didn’t waste any time letting him gain any bearings before swinging the spear down onto Tommy’s shoulder and lunging forward with a kick to his side. “I’ve been here for a while by now, of course starting out I didn’t really do a lot of fighting, I have a lot to still make up. You don’t look familiar but of course I mostly get suck in the infirmary and things, so I couldn’t honestly tell if you were new or not.” HP: 37/40 Damage: Target: Tommy Charge: 2/3

Ah, now that hit had stung! It left his arm feeling rather numb and tingly for a moment, which he attempted to shake off, now backing further away in an attempt to gain a little distance as he felt he may have underestimated his opponents strength. "Oh, I have not been here too long. A couple of months or so. I was a bit slow to get my bearings myself. It was quite a change, to wake up here, though I know I agreed to it. I guess it is just a little different then I expected." He admitted with a wide smile. HP: 32 Damage: 0

Despite his opponent’s trying to gain some distance between them Matt continued to press forward crouching low as he brought the spear upwards across Tommy’s chest. As soon as he struck he dodged back doubting he would get another opportunity to avoid Tommy’s return. “So you haven’t got the chance to see everything yet, which can be a good thing sometimes. It was a bit of a hard adjustment for myself,” Matt replied giving only half a smile, “I’m use to having to save people not fighting and then having to help save. What did you do before joining Deus?” HP: 37/40 Damage: 3 Target: Tommy Charge: 3/3

"I have not been on any of these external missions yet, no, though I am grateful. I feel much better having time to get comfortable with my weapon first, and learning all I will need to know." Though even then he knew that nothing could prepare him completely for real, field experience. Life had taught him that. It took him a moment to understand what Matt was trying to say at first, and when Tommy clued in, he smiled, "Oh, were you a...something of the medical profession before coming here?" He asked, before his smile broadened. "I am..or was..what you would call a street performer." He admitted, attempting to dodge from the swing too late, but firing off an electric blue bolt from the mounted crossbow on his wrist as the other man darted back. HP: 29 Damage: 2

“I haven’t really gone any myself, just been an aid in one. It was a mistake idea honestly probably better to know how to fight not that it will always help in the end.” The one somewhat external experience he had on mission with just a group ended with him pretty much dead. Now it was Matt’s struggle to get better and the excessive training with anyone who was more than happy to spar against him. “Yea I was in school to be a doctor, you spend the entire four years being taught how not to kill someone or something and then you come here. It’s an interesting different. Street performer? What sort of performances did you do?” The bolt struck giving a sensation of burning pain to numbness on his thigh in a weird way. It was a rather odd wrist contraption and not something that Matt had not expected to shoot, he would have to be more careful. Swinging the spear in a circular motion around his body he let the momentum build up for a moment before he swinging a hefty blow in return. HP: 35/40 Damage: 7

Thomas nodded at both explanations, first for what Matt had to say about the mission he had been on and then for clarifying what it was that he did before coming to deus. "So will you also be a doctor here then? Is that something they will allow you to do?" He couldn't see why not. Finding people who were already skilled in the medical field upon arrival was probably, Thomas imagined, a rarity, one to be treasured. But then again...what did he really know about this place so far. Maybe their past lives really didn't matter in the slightest when it came to how they were treated, or what jobs they were given. "But even here you are not killing people, surely? Only monsters." He smiled, but that expression was soon wiped off of his face by a walloping blow from Matt's spear, one that sent him stumbling back several paces. He retaliated with another bolt shot from the opposite gauntlets crossbow. "I performed a great variation of things. From contortion to balancing acts to juggling....sometimes all three at once." He grinned then, readying himself by taking another step closer. "The trick is always to read the crowd, to try and figure out what they would want to see. Most preferred something death defying combined with a bit of comedy to keep the mood light." HP: 22 Damage: 3

“That’s the plan, or at least the plan I wanted to do. Being a doctor or at least some sort of aid in the infirmary it what I would be best at but so far all I’ve done is a lot of paperwork and taken on work that others didn’t really want to do. I guess its more of a bottom totem pole sort of thing, so maybe a few more years I can get out being the nurse to more of a doctor.” He had spent tons of hours helping in the infirmary and yet there was little actual work he had been able to do with actual living hunters. “You would think that it only involved killing monsters but there’s been a few times that I’ve had to fight the occasional hunter, and almost die from a hunter.” Or possessed hunter from what he had gathered fro the after math however he still felt the need to avoid the hunter whenever she was around. Just the look on his face brought back her wild grin before stabbing him in the chest. “s**t those thing hurt,” Rubbing the spot where the bolt shot had hit him, it was almost as bad as getting hit by half frozen paintballs. At least the bruise wasn’t going to last long Matt thought not bothering to return an attack at Tommy despite his effort to step forward. “Sounds like it was quite an act, did you learn them from someone else or was it just a lot of practice growing up like gymnastics or something?” Street performing was not something Matt was entirely familiar so he wasn't sure if there was some sort of rules or things behind doing acts and so on.

Tommy nodded again. It made sense to him, though at the same time he wondered why, given the circumstances, they had not lett Matt progress in the infirmary at a quicker pace. Really, though, it was not his place to question how things worked, and he was at least glad to hear that the other man thought to persue the same career that he had left behind. "I am scheduled for a few infirmary shifts, and assume I am to be quite low on the totem pole myself. Probably just filing paperwork and changing bed pans." He joked, though he wondered if it was even really that far off from the truth. At Matt's next statement, Tommy's eyes widened a little in surprise. "Really? That does not seem.." He had a moment where he struggled to find the right word, because no matter how good his English had become over the years, he still had moments where he could not come up with the phrase he sought. "Is that common?" He asked instead, giving his head a small shake as if that would jar loose what he'd really been attempting to say. "Do they?" He grinned, with a slightly mischievous look. "I have not yet shot myself with one to test it out." And since he had an oppurtunity to do so, he fired off two more electric blue bolts in Matt's direction, before grining wider. "I am self taught, for the most part, though my mama did put me in some classes, such as gymnastics, as well." HP: 22 Damage: 8
