002 | open-ish
Who: Itsuki, Parley (distorts_space), open to other folks too
When: Sunday, August 10th (backdated)
Where: Myoudouin Dojo
What: The dojo has an exhibition today, and that means the heir is in combat. Combat can take some weird turns sometimes, though...
Every so often - maybe a couple times a month, sometimes more, sometimes less, it depends on how the Myoudouin patriarch is feeling - the Myoudouin Dojo opens its doors for a public exhibition match or several. Usually, these are arranged, but on occasion he'll take other folks that he knows are (or that claim to be) strong enough to let Itsuki give a good showing. Or remind her that she's not as strong as she wishes she were, in some cases, though that hasn't happened lately.
Today is one such day; there have been flyers posted around the city for several days now, as it's always a good spectacle to watch trained martial artists in their element. The main event is a spar; it's of course not the only event taking place today. Everyone has a role, from the lower-ranked students breaking boards and answering questions (and making sure nobody gets too close), to the higher-ranks demonstrating techniques, escapes, and general badassery. It's kind of an impromptu open house, which helps bolster enrollment rates aside from being a big to-do.
The fighters for the spar, though... that part may surprise folks. Not that Itsuki's fazed by that part; that's far from her mind, right now. The person she's facing today is someone she likes to think she can call a friend, and that means Itsuki needs to put on a good show, for more than just the crowd she already knows will assemble. Has assembled; it's only a few minutes to showtime at this point. She's left Potpourri asleep in her room, thankfully undiscovered thus far, so she only has one thing on her mind right now.
[[Itsuki is slated to spar with Parley; that fight has a particular ending, which mandates that Itsuki may or may not be back at its end. She'll be around to mingle before things start, though. And there's plenty of time for questions and commentary.]]

Shepard had dropped by half out of her general acclimation to the city and half to keep an eye on one or two people she recognized. Parley wasn't actually one of them, but she was someone Shepard had met before.

OH. Right. At the Omegabase. So this was an Omegafriend. And she sure hadn't had a mask when they had met the first time.
"Ah...yes. Definitely more prepared."
Please don't reveal she's supposed to be a super hero.

"Good. He looks pretty tough," she said, with the studiedly neutral tone of someone who's been practicing plausible deniability since college.
"What kind of martial arts are you doing here, anyway?" she asks, curious. Her knowledge of hand-to-hand combat is mostly practical, in the grab the other guy's arm and break his elbow sort of way.

"It's aikido, though apparently with some changes from the normally taught version that are specific to the Myoudouin family."

She mimed a few punches, continuing. "I normally prefer a more aggressive style, but it's definitely an interesting change of pace."
