[VIDEO]

[See this? This is one Hibari Kyouya, looking rather bored - he's standing in the middle of the archery range (which is empty) with his bow in hand and his quiver of arrows slung over his shoulder. He glances around, before addressing the communication device.]

Someone fight me.

[IN PERSON]

[If there's anyone passing by the training grounds, they'll see Hibari practicing his marksmanship; feel free to join him, or challenge him to a fight. He'll gladly oblige you. Hey, he might even agree to having an archery contest!]

[she appears on the screen, hands on her hips, smirking] Oho! A tough guy, huh?

[video]

[solitarynuvola]

[He raises an eyebrow, staring down at the device and the smirking woman.]

Who are you.

[If you're going to give him a fight, then good. Get your ass out here. If you're just wasting his time, then GTFO.]

[manliestmaiden.livejournal.com]

You can call me Hungary. And I'll be the one to fight you, since you want to be so brazen.

[video]

[solitarynuvola]

.. Hou?

[An answering smirk curls on his lips, and he fingers the hilt of his sword with his free hand. Clearly he's just waiting for her to come out.]

Show yourself, then.

[video]

[manliestmaiden.livejournal.com]

I will be there in a few minutes. [and she ends the connection. this should be interesting...]

[video] ⇨ [action]

[solitarynuvola]

[Ah, finally someone to fight in this wretched place. Now, if only he had his tonfa... But he'll have to contend with using the sword for now.

He's already waiting in the sparring ring, having abandoned his bow and quiver of arrows, when Hungary arrives. Actually, he's busy practising some of the moves that he'd picked up from watching Yamamoto Takeshi and the loud shark spar.]

[action]

[manliestmaiden.livejournal.com]

[Hungary was meeting so many interesting people here! so what if she'd lost a lot of her hair. as long as she wasn't changing further she would be fine. aside from all that wretchedness, this place wasn't too bad... not that she didn't want to figure out how to get home. but if she was stuck here she was going to try and keep her spirits up.

she finally found her opponent and she drew a sword that she'd found when she went into the woods. heh, a cocky bastard, just like a certain other country she knew]

So you want to be reckless, do you? [she looks elegant, poised, but also toughened from centuries of war]

[action]

[solitarynuvola]

Not if I know what I'm doing.

[This woman... seemed to know what she was doing, which was a refreshing change. He moves slowly, but surely, pacing, measuring her ability, eyes ever watchful. His bloodlust is almost visible, the air around him gathering a rather dark and murderous taint to it - and then he moves, quick as a darting shadow, ducking down low to the left and sweeping out with the sword, aiming for the woman's legs.]

[action]

[manliestmaiden.livejournal.com]

[Hungary easily avoids the sword by jumping out of the way. how fast he was! it was admirable for a human. at least she believed him to be human. it was her turn to move, and she ran at him with sword aiming to strike]

[action]

[soulofaginger.livejournal.com]

[Like he would pass up this opportunity EVER. Though he doesn't approach Hibari right away, instead he just watches for a bit, smoking a cigarette off to the side. After a good few minutes he FINALLY finds it in him to comment.]

Your posture sucks.

[action]

[solitarynuvola]

[He doesn't react, letting go of the string and watching the arrow fly straight into the target before turning to look over his shoulder at the redhead.]

Really.

Re: [action]

[soulofaginger.livejournal.com]

Really. Do you even know how to string the thing properly?

[Best to break him out of any bad habits now... before he gets too set on shooting incorrectly.]

[action]

[solitarynuvola]

Yes.

[So deadpan. If you're so fussy about it, G., come here and show him how to do it properly.]

Re: [action]

[soulofaginger.livejournal.com]

[He just chuckles and shakes his head, before finally getting up to show the little whippersnapper Vongola how it was done.

Naturally G could string his bow in his sleep, but he actually takes his time with ti this time, making sure Hibari could take note. When finished he gets into position and draws the string to make sure the draw length was enough for him to pull his arm all the way back comfortably. Then, he knocked an arrow to his bow and drew back.

He took a deep breath, and then exhaled as he let the arrow fly hitting the target dead center.

and he topped it all off by giving Hibari a cocky little smirk]

Re: [action]

[solitarynuvola]

[He's not part of the Vongola, damnit. He's an independent agent.

That little cocky smirk has him scowling darkly - he can now see what his posture is supposed to look like, and corrects it accordingly. But really, G. didn't have to show him how to string the bow. He knew that much already. Really, he did.]

Tch.

Re: [action]

[soulofaginger.livejournal.com]

[G just chuckles and shrugs, before drawing two more arrows and knocking them both to the bow. He may just be showing off, but part of it may also be showing Hibari how to do it... once he gets some more practice. Taking the pose again he lets both arrows fly, and they hit both hit the centers of the targets, though it took him a bit longer to aim.]

Exhale when you shoot.

[action]

[solitarynuvola]

I don't need you to tell me.

[Despite his words, he steps up and follows the other's advice, exhaling before he lets go of the string that he had drawn back, the arrow flying straight and true into the heart of the target. Hmm. That's... helpful.]

[childoftherigs.livejournal.com]

[Kesley's just going to sit on a nearby fence and watch for now, eating an apple. Her specialty is the crossbow, not the longbow, but she can appreciate someone elses skill. That is, until he messes up. Then she's going to jeer]

[action]

[solitarynuvola]

[Yeah, well, he's... going to be restringing this thing. The string isn't taut enough.]

[perma-action]

[childoftherigs.livejournal.com]

Don't take too long, the target might get up and walk away.

[action]

[solitarynuvola]

[He doesn't spare the girl a glance - herbivores that are all talk aren't worth his attention.]

Re: [action]

[childoftherigs.livejournal.com]

[Hey now, she is neither an herbivore, nor is she all talk. If she was psychic she'd be downright insulted. But as it is she's not terribly keen on insulting the person with the weapon anymore, so she's quiet. But just for a moment.]

So, how good are you with that thing, really?

[action]

[solitarynuvola]

Enough to shoot you with it.

[Hup, there goes another arrow into the heart of the target. Isn't that nice.]

[action]

[childoftherigs.livejournal.com]

Oh is that so?

[Getting ready to dodge just in case he decides to prove that he can]

[action]

[solitarynuvola]

[Sorry, but he doesn't want to waste his arrows on a herbivore. So he doesn't react to the challenge, merely continuing to fire arrows into the target to improve his aim.]
