[Private to Minako Arisato]

Hey, how've you been? Said I'd come check up on you sometime. Everything okay so far?

[Public]

Seems like some people use these communicators more for whining instead of actually getting useful information.

I'm looking for someone who'd be willing to spar with me using swords.

And if it's about this then you can forget it. I won't be responding to any complaints regarding that post of hers.

Mine was used one handed. [Going into more detail wouldn't help, really. If she just said it looked like a giant key it would just confuse him.]

What about you? What kind of sword are you used to using?

One handed style. Hm, interesting. How long have you been training with it for?

Well, I'm used to using a High Frequency blade. It's like your regular sword only it vibrates really fast. Makes it easier for cutting through things.

I've been training with it since I was a child. [A number cannot be given due to lack of canon.

A sword that vibrates...?] I've never heard of something like that before...

That's impressive. In that case, you're probably someone I shouldn't underestimate. [This is a totally acceptable answer aw yea.]

High Frequency blades are based off science and technology. They're basically an upgrade to an already forged sword. It's just sharper than your average blade.

[She wasn't going to deny that, though it was because of confidence and not arrogance that she felt that way.]

Still, it sounds pretty impressive.

Yeah, it's a shame the technology to create such a sword doesn't exist here.

There are plenty of people who know how to wield one though. Always a good thing.

Quick question. When are you available for practice, Aqua?

I'm usually free in the afternoon.

Sounds good. Training in the afternoon won't conflict with anything in my schedule either.

I'm kind of interested to see what kind of techniques you use for dodging attacks. It varies from style to style.

Maybe we can meet in one of Shibusen's training rooms?

My style is more acrobatic. I try not to create so much distance here because I can't compensate for it as well, but I still prefer to do that most of the time.

Sounds like a great idea.

Yeah, that makes sense. It's good to keep some distance between you and your enemy, but having too much distance might cause problems.

Did BREW's suppression of any supernatural abilities or enhancements affect your combat style by any chance?

Then I'll see you there.

Not that much. I can't use magic here, but I've found ways to help make up for it.

Copy that.

Magic? I don't even know where to begin with that. What sort of things were you able to accomplish using it? That's good to hear at least. You were able to make up for what you lacked and in battle not everyone can do that.

[ooc: wow this tag is so late i'm sorry i've been a little slow lately OTL]

I could cast elemental spells to attack with and use spells that bent space and time. I could also create a barrier.

I can't even do a fraction of that here, but at least I've found a way to attack from a distance.

Bending space and time sounds fancy and complicated. They seem useful though.

I mean, seriously. How many people could you catch off guard with that move? It seems like it'd give you a great tactical advantage during battle.

Yeah, at least you've made it this far.

They're actually pretty basic spells. But even though they can only affect a small area for a short time, they are pretty useful.

I...what? [He doesn't even know how that could be basic. Woops.]

Which part about that is basic? Wait, if that's basic for you then what's something more advanced?
