Zuri, Abby, Strips ~ Private

[zash]

Zuri couldn't help but to laugh. "Meet Abby. The hot little peice of ass that me and Strips are usually fighting over. Yeah, she is really nice. You'll have to excuse her though. She is probably comfortable being naked around us so yeah. She is our little vampress of death that would probably kill anyone on her bad side, best not to be on that side. I'm actually trying to get off it. Never throw a chic across the room, it makes them mad. But away, me and Strips don't need a third competitor." Zuri started to laugh again. As much as he'd like to defend her or claim her, he couldn't. Far as he knew there was still something going on between all three of them, so he wasn't in much of a position, not to mention he doesn't know where he stands anymore.

[petdr89]

Jaserik began to laugh as well. "Ts, yeah, I'd imagine throwing a girl across the room would make her mad, though I can't really speak from experience." He had a dumb-founded look on his face for the longest time, before he finally snapped out of it. "But don't worry, man, I probably won't be spendin' too much time with y'all. So, she's a vampire? Shouldn't she be asleep?"

Strips had wandered off to hide the bottle of liquid, and after he was done hiding it, Abby had walked into the room. She asked him if she could barrow some clothes. At first all he could do was stare while blinking, but eventually he told her to wear something of his mother's. Abby went into the other bedroom and Strips walked back into the living room. He just sat down quietly, not wanting to interrupt.

[zash]

"Uh no. In fact she only sleeps like every other week. In fact, she hates it. You'd think that she'd be sleeping or stuff like that but no. She isn't like any other vampire that you'd probably know of. But yeah. So Strips, whats up?" Zuri turned his gaze to Strips. He wanted to figure out what was going on and then try to figure out where a mall was. "I mean, what are your plans for the day?"

[petdr89]

Jaserik found the fact that Abby only slept every other week odd, but he figured that if he didn't need sleep he would do the same. Strips walked back into the room and he looked over at him.

"Ah, well, I don't really know. Jaz and I are probably just gunna hang out and talk. And yeah, sorry I ran out on y'all a minute ago, but I really had to go to the bathroom. I ran into a half-naked Abby, too. T'was a little odd." Well, half of it had been true, at least.

"Yeah, I was just telling Zuri about how you were tellin' me about how you two were gunna fight tomorrow. I was actually thinkin' we'd do a little trainin'," Jaserik budded in, and then turned to look at Zuri. "Actually, Zuri, perhaps you and I could practice together. I'm anxious to see if you're as good as Strips says you are."

[zash]

Zuri looked at him. "Ah sure. I got an entire day to do whatever. Why not. I just have to find my sheath. I think its still in the bathroom. Hold on a sec while I go get it." Zuri stood up, a bit dizzy but fine. He then walked for the bathroom and stepped in and grabbed his sheath. He made sure everything was still there and walked out. "Yup, it was in here." Zuri yelled down teh hall.

[petdr89]

After Zuri had left, Strips gave Jaserik a stern look. "What do you think you're doing?"

"What? Don't get your balls in a knot, I know what I'm doin'; just a friendly little match, to see first hand how he fights. Then you and I'll train together, cause I have a feeling you need it." As soon as Jaserik had finished talking, Zuri called out to them. "Alright, cool. Shall we go outside, then?," he replied.

[zash]

Zuri walked down the hall while he put his sheath on. "Yup, lets go." Zuri then just walked through the living room and into the kitchen and then out the back door. "So how do you guys wanna do this?" Zuri really didn't have much to worry about. He just had to be careful and not hurt Jaz. He wasn't worried about getting hurt himself. "With sticks or what?" Zuri joked.

[petdr89]

Both Jaserik and Strips followed Zuri outside, but Strips took a seat in one of the patio chairs. "Well, I'm just gunna watch."

Jaserik laughed, "Well, I see you have a sword. Why don't we just use sword, but try to be careful. I'm sure we'll both manage, and I'm sure Strips won't mind if I use one of his swords."

"By all means, help yourself."

Jaserik nodded, and headed over to Strips's shed. Obviously he had been here several times before, since he knew were everything was. He chose a particularly heavy double-edge sword, and then walked back to the middle of the yard. He waited for them to begin.

[zash]

Zuri pulled out his sword. You could hear the sound of the metal sliding out slowly from the sheath. Shhhhhhhiiiink. The sword gleamed in the air. Zuri ended up turning the blade around,' he was basically holding it reverse. It was a bit awkard but this way he wouldn't be able to really hurt Jaz. He wanted to be atleast a bit safe. Though Zuri did find it odd how Jaz kept mentioning that Strips had said that Zuri was a great fighter. As if that'd really ever happen. Zuri was starting to find this a bit odd. "Begin whenever." Zuri said to Jaz. "I'll let you take the first swing."

[petdr89]

Strips and Jaz had similar fighting styles, obviously since they had probably trained together in the past, so he wasn't sure he liked the idea of taking the first swing, but since it was all in fun, he went ahead and took Zuri up on his offer. He gripped his sword tightly in his right hand, and swung it horizontally at Zuri's left side. By swing at Zuri's left side, Zuri would have to block it with his right hand, which would then leave his right side open, and would give Jaz the opportunity to land a punch into Zuri's rib cage, provided everything went they way he thought it would.

[zash]

Well two things passed through Zuri's mind, the thought of having some fun and the shear fact that he probably was still a little hung over from the night before and he was gonna have some reflex dissabilities. Usually Zuri would try to do most of the stuff with his sword but he was a bit slow so when Jaz came at him the only thing he was able to do was block with his left arm. Sure he could of let it hit him, but why risk it. So Zuri lowered his left arm and blocked the shot. Getting hit like this was pretty much like getting punched in the arm, but it lost some of the force when it hit. And when Zuri was able to block the attack he took his sword and went for a quick hit. His sword was still fairly close out in front of him so it had a short distance to travel to hit Jaz.

[petdr89]

Jaz got a confused look when he realized his sword hitting Zuri's arm hadn't done any damage, and before he realized it, Zuri was swinging his sword at him now. He didn't have enough time to draw his sword back and block Zuri's, so he twisted his torso sharply so the sword clinked against one of the spikes down his back. He was just lucky the sword had actually hit the spike, and not in-between them. With Zuri's sword being blocked by his spikes, he took a step inward and went to jab Zuri in the thigh with his knee; he wasn't evil enough to aim for the other spot.

[zash]

Zuri was kinda surprised by Jaz's defence. "So he can block things fairly well to huh." Zuri thought to himself. And before Zuri knew it he was hit in the leg. He fell to the side a bit as his leg began to cave in. Then after being stuck he regained his composure and went for a kick with his oppisite leg against Jaz's leg.

[petdr89]

Zuri's leg impacted the back of Jaz's leg, the one that hadn't been used to kick Zuri. The force actually caused Jaz's leg to turn, and for him to rotate 90 degrees to the side. From there he lost his balance and collapsed onto his knees.

From the ground, Jaz thought quickly; he wrapped his tail around one of Zuri's ankles and gave a quick pull.

Inside, Abby had put on a pair of blue jeans and a black t-shirt; she also pulled up her hair in a ponytail. She walked around the house looking for people, and finally found them outside by looking out the window. She didn’t bother going outside, though, because something on the TV peeked her interest. She heard them talking about how today was the last day to sign up for the tournament. “Well, I’d better get down there,” she said as she left the house.

[zash]

Zuri fell backwards. He hit the ground with a thud. "OU, dang." He had hit his head and and bells were ringing in his head. His vision blurred and his head throbbed and so did his body. "Ah man." He rubbed his forhead as he attempted to stand back up. It probably wouldn't have been so bad if he didn't already have a hang over and his head already ached. Not a good idea to battle while having a hang over.
