Not a vacation (video. Filtered to ACTUAL Omegafriends)

[distorts_space]

[A few weeks ago, there was a message sent to the Omegabase from Mystero, Master of the Mind, informing them that he was sending his daughter to Venture City to train with the Omegafriends in hopes of developing her as of yet dormant psychic powers.

Well, she's here.]

So, I guess Mystero told you what I'm doing here. What with Dr. Devious and the confusion of flying half way around the planet, I never really heard who agreed to help out.

I'm already getting antsy here. Any learnable skills you've got, I'll take a shot at learning them. If you're willing to teach them, that is.

She looked over the pile of weapons, then picked up the pike, spun it around idly, and made a few thrusts at the air.

By her stance, she's probably never used a spear before, but maybe quarterstaves a bit? "How about this?"

He watched her technique. The Brusher's Pike was more meant for thrusting, but she had a form more like she was swinging a staff. The Kid didn't recognize it right away, but he knew that he needed to show her the best trick of the Pike.

"We can start with the Pike. Let me show you its special part."

Given the pike, he demonstrates how to thrust it out to maximum length, the Pike extending farther than it's normal form. He brought it in with a practiced speed, clearly able to thrust it like that quickly.

"Main trick is really knowing how to move with it and when to strike with it."

He handed it back to her to let her have a chance with it, develop her own style. He wish he still had the Brusher's training ground. Then again, that place was overgrown with dangerous plants.

Parley made suitably impressed noises when he show the extending trick, then spent some time messing around with the pike, occasionally looking back to double check her form with The Kid.

[sebastiancafe]

He helps her with her form here and there, before long she was thrusting her pike like a trainee Brusher.

"How you feel about some target practice?"

[distorts_space]

"I'll try anything once."

Sebastian found a few soft, balls that would make a good thing to puncture. He starts them up into the air at her, get her aim together. He helped correct her posture and aim, the process going for some time. Though of course others things were practiced. A few musket blasts probably would put her off on the gun, the recoil on it was pretty strong. Though if she was particularly determined, he might give her the spare one and some beanbag rounds to practice with.

Then he tossed some of the practice armor on her, before taking her to some dueling with the blunted machete. He was fast with the blade, despite wearing heavier armor than her. She was probably feeling the weight heavy on her shoulders though, given it was about 40 pounds of stuff strapped around her torso. Though would at least make sure she's getting a good work out. Still, she made some progress and the fact he wasn't skilled dueling with other people with swords was pretty clear in his style. Still, he wasn't bad himself. When she finally had enough of the weight, it was probably getting late.

"Want to head out and see if we could try to stop any crimes?" He offered, deciding she had done pretty well so far.

With the pike, Parley showed some promise. With the musket she showed none at all. With the machete, though.

Parley had almost exclusively trained against human opponents. While she favored a longer blade, she had good instincts for reading her opponent's body language and very quick reaction times. The only thing she lacked was practical battlefield experience and about 10 more pounds of muscle. So at the end of the session, she wiped sweat out of her eyes and gave him a Look.

"Now? I can barely lift a sword right now."

[sebastiancafe]

The Kid laughs a bit. He knew that feeling all too well. She had done pretty well against him though with the sword, though the Kid was more focused on trying to get in close and deliver a lot of hits, as opposed to parry or avoid parries. She probably did decent on him, even after the armor.

"I know the feeling. I would take you to a watering hole, but you are a bit young for that. So... buy you something in the break room here?"

[distorts_space]

"I'm going to take a shower first. Then..."

She shrugged, "Eh, sure, why not."

[sebastiancafe]

"Great."

The kid went straight to the place himself. he hadn't worked up as much of a sweat, since most of it was instruction, and he didn't have much experiences with showers. His own apartment he preferences his bath over a shower.
