[i]Dojo Courtyard // 1200 hours // Just a runic mage
Alyssa was in a particularly good mood.
While she never said why she was so, she never could conceal her emotions very well. It was obvious that the twenty-three year old was lovestruck, and even a child could figure that out. As she strolled into the courtyard with a bounce in her step, she looked around, smiling like a madwoman. Her brown, shoulder length hair was tied back in its usual, tight ponytail, her thick glasses reinforced with extra duct tape. She wore what she always wore; a pair of faded blue skinny jeans, and a loose, white, button-up shirt. She pulled a simple, three foot long, metallic longsword from a bin in the corner of the courtyard, a training sword. Swordplay had always interested her, and she decided that now she was a member at this "dojo", she should finally try it out. Of course she was open to do other forms of training and studying, however.[/i]
((Open, short post. Socialization, or training. Whichever.))

"Yeah, I do..." [i]Charlie holds Alyssa closer.[/i] "...and that's all I need." [i]He then gets a glance at the sword.[/i] "You're a swordsman?"
-
[i]Alyssa coughed.[/i] "Swordswoman." [i]She knew it wasn't a word, but didn't particularly care; she was merely joking around.[/i] "And no... but I'd like to learn."
-
"Swordswoman isn't a real word, Miss Alyssa." [i]He was completely oblivious to the joke.[/i] "I'd love to help, but I don't know anything about swordsmanship. Do I know how to fight?" [i]Charlie went over to a nearby weapon bin.[/i] "What do we got here? What catches my eye? Ah!" [i]Charlie pulls out two wooden tonfas.[/i] "Tonfas!...Why do I know what this is?"
-
[i]Alyssa laughed slightly, rolling her bright green eyes at Charlie as she followed him.[/i] "Those things... look fancy," [i]She says, looking at the tonfas.[/i] "Way fancier than this sword here, hah."
-
[i]Charlie laughs.[/i] "Fancier? They're basically just two wooden sticks with handles. Come on, lets spar for fun and experience. You'll probably beat me though because I have no idea what I'm doing." [i]Charlie holds the tonfas and gets in a stance that seems way too perfect for someone who claims to have no experience.[/i] "En Garde?"
-
[i]Alyssa laughed, and nodded.[/i] "En garde," [i]She said, and held the sword in her non dominant hand, her left one, as her right arm was literally just a stump.[/i]
-
[i]Charlie glanced at Alyssa's stump causing his smile to weaken and his hapiness to cease.[/i] "This isn't exactly fair, Miss Alyssa." [i]Charlie puts his right arm behind his back.[/i] "Now show me your battle cry and attack."
-
[i]Alyssa didn't have a battle cry, rather just stepping forward and aiming a weak slash with her non dominant hand, only having enough strength to give Charlie a paper cut. It didn't help that Alyssa didn't want to hurt Charlie, either.[/i]
-
[i]Charlie whacked her weapon away and then used his leg to swipe her legs out from under her within all within a split second. Charlie kneeled down to Alyssa and hysterically apologized.[/i] "I'm so sorry! I'm so so sorry, Miss Alyssa!"
-
[i]Alyssa fell to the ground with an "oomph", looking indignant. Then, hearing Charlie's frantic apologies, she laughed, getting up.[/i] "It's fine," [i]Alyssa said, looking at Charlie happily.[/i] "Really."
-
"Are you sure? Maybe you should take a break from this training thing till you get a prosthetic?" [i]Charlie began to sound extremely protective.[/i] "You shouldn't be doing this in your condition. Maybe I should stay by your side for the rest of the day. If you need anything I can go get it for you." [i]Charlie grasps Alyssa's shoulder.[/i] "You didn't get a concussion from that fall, did you?"
-
[i]Alyssa burst into laughter at Charlie's overprotectiveness, pulling him into a tight embrace with her one arm.[/i] "I'm fine, honestly," [i]She murmured into Charlie's ear, having to jump up and hold on tight to his back in order to keep her chin over Charlie's shoulder, her toes only barely brushing the ground.[/i]
-
[i]Charlie holds her up she doesn't have to struggle to stay up.[/i] "I just don't want you to get hurt...or killed. I don't know what I would do without you. All alone in a world I know nothing about." [i]Charlie starts to laugh.[/i] "Wow, I'm a downer. May I ask one thing about [b]our[/b] past?"
-
"Anything," [i]Alyssa replied, grateful for Charlie holding her up as her lips brushed lightly across Charlie's cheekbone, the corners of her mouth turning up in a smile.[/i]
-
[i]Charlie stumbled over his words incapable of making complete sentences.[/i] "I-I just....Before....W-Where is that coin? Do you still have it on you?"
-
[i]Alyssa nodded, reaching into her pocket. She brought out the coin that had saved Charlie's life, however didn't let Charlie touch it, for fear the black side would injure him.[/i]
-
Edited by Cthulhu Agent: 10/5/2016 3:22:15 AM[i]Charlie's eyes glow blue and his voice seems off, more robotic like than usual.[/i] "Can I touch it? Just. One. Touch." [i]As Charlie's one arm begins to reach for it the voice from the fight with Chuck comes back. [u]Alyssa, don't let me touch it. I touch it and my memories are lost forever.[/u][/i]
-
"I-sorry-no," [i]Alyssa murmured, shoving the coin back into her pocket. She smiled at Charlie, an apologetic look in her eyes.[/i] "Sorry...." [i]She mumbled aloud, while inwardly was going frantic at the reappearance of Charlie's voice. [u]Charlie? Charlie? Where are you?[/u][/i]
-
[i]As she put the coin away the voice began to get far quieter. [u]No matter what don't let me...[/u] The voice faded entirely. Charlie's eyes began to go back to normal, but a blue glow was still visible. His voice had that trance like feeling to it.[/i] "Come on, Ali. Babe, just let me touch it for a sec."
-
[i]Alyssa blushed crimson red at Charlie calling her "babe", but shook her head no. She smiled slightly, lifting her chin to kiss Charlie lightly on his forehead.[/i] "Sorry, can't let that happen," [i]She murmured, staring ahead with sad eyes, yet a happy smile.[/i]
-
[i]Charlie brought his face right up to Alyssa's.[/i] "Why not? It's my coin, honey." [i]He kissed her slowly on the cheek.[/i] "Don't you love me?"
-
"I love you, but...." [i]Alyssa wasn't sure if she should tell Charlie.[/i] "I'm scared for what would happen if you touched it...." [i]She shivered, and it wasn't because of the temperature.[/i]
-
[i]He slowly brush his hand down her cheek.[/i] "What could happen if I touched the coin? My hand smells like metal? Just hand it over..." [i]Charlie whispers in her ear in a suggestive tone.[/i] "...and I'll pay you back anyway you like, sugar."
-
"N-no, I-I just–" [i]Alyssa blushed furiously, pushing herself away from Charlie and backing away a little.[/i] "The coin... could wipe your memory for good...." [i]Alyssa somehow blushed more, averting her gaze.[/i]
-
[i]Charlie walked towards Alyssa and grabbed her by the shoulders. He looked into her eyes, searching for something. His eyes turned back to his normal brown and he had a confused look on his face.[/i] "How did we get into this position? I was just about to ask you a question and then poof we're like this. Did I miss something?"
