Training Day [Self - Speed RP]

Postby Azura Rayume » 06/15/2013 9:31 PM

((Okay, maybe not the speediest speed RP ever, but I'll try. I need to get these guys some levels, and the open RPs for the scavenger hunt aren't exactly doing that fast enough.))

"Here we are!" Klein was pretty pleased with himself right now. He had managed to get another level along the line, though he still hadn't quite gotten the hang of it yet, and he had gotten Jesse to let him bring a couple of his fellow warriors all the way out to the Vast Plains for a bit of adventure. There wasn't much adventure to be had out here, mind you, but he figured they were at least a lower level than he was. This was where he had started, so it should be a good place for them to have a go at it as well.

The Garudor was far less amused than his knight companion. "And where would that be exactly?" he asked, eyes rolling with boredom. Klein sometimes had good ideas, but this did not seem to be one of them. He had dragged them all the way out here, and for what? His stupid talk of levels again? Great. Just the kind of afternoon he was looking forward to.

Marinus said nothing, simply walking behind the talking pair. He was not too excited to be dragged here, either, but was not about to complain. Jesse had said this would be good for them, so he was up for it. Besides, Klein was a good warrior even if his methods were a bit... unorthodox. With the war effort brewing, they would need a bit of time training. If gaining a slight edge over their possible enemy meant having to put up with Klein and his talk of levels, so be it. He was going to get that edge.

"Where is this?" Klein repeated, spinning around to watch the other two. They were both skeptical of him, that much he was all too familiar with, but that would change. Once they saw that he really could train them out here, they would start believing him. "This is where I first showed up in Evelon, the Vast Plains. I fought my first battle in this world not too far from here, too, so I figured it would be a good place to get you two some experience. Now, who's ready to get started?"

Captain flapped his wings to stretch and roused his feathers. "If it'll get you off my back," he grumbled, beak clicking in agitation. What a waste of time! If training was the only reason to come out here, he could have just stayed him. He had his own methods of training that would probably be more practical for his own fighting style than whatever this crackpot had come up with. If this was what Jesse thought they needed before the battles actually began, though, he was willing to play along.

Marinus settled into a sitting position, looking rather like a larger reptilian dog. Klein was quite the strange man, he had to admit that, but Jesse trusted his judgement. As far as experience went, the knight had the most in actual battle other than their commander. That battle happened to be in a video game, if his stories were to be believed, but he still had tactics under his belt. All the Evren had was what he was bred for. "So, what's your plan?"

Klein beamed at them, pleased that they had decided to go along with him. It was probably all because he had gotten the okay from Jesse, but at least they were doing this of their own free will. Some took a bit more bullying to get to train.

"Alright. While I was talking to Jesse, he said that the Imperials rely mainly on power. While all three of us are capable warriors, we may find ourselves in a situation where we would be outmatched on strength alone. For that, we'll need speed. The Plains are known for giving those who train here a boost of speed, so it seemed like the most logical choice. What do you guys say to a little race?"

A race? Well, the Garudor was confident in his speed. Of the three here, he was the only one with the gift of flight; this would almost not be fair! Well, for the other two, anyway. He could outfly almost anyone, and, though he wasn't one for much bragging, he knew there could be no way two land-bound creatures would be able to outpace him.

"Alright, then. A race. You're on."

Marinus shifted nervously. While the Evren was a powerhouse, he relied more on stealth to gain an advantage over his opponent than speed. He was pretty agile if truth be told, just not fast. His tail swished back and forth, trying his best to gauge how well he would do at this. He would probably be terrible, but it might be worth a shot.

"I'm not that great a runner," he confessed, "but if Jesse thinks we need to be faster, I'll give it a go,"

Klein clapped his hands. "Alright!" he said, beaming. Even though they were doing this for their own reasons, all three of them would benefit from this. Besides, he could always do with a bit of a run, and he would be using this as a way to judge the stats of the other two. Actually knowing their strengths and weaknesses would be of use in this current campaign, of that much he was certain.

He opened the console in front of him with a wave of his hand, the levitating screen translucent to him and invisible to the rest. He pressed a button emblazoned with a claw and immediately flashed a white light, his human form having been replaced with that of a large Deserthorn Paragon. "This seems a bit more fair," he said, flexing the claws of a front foot. "Everyone ready, then?"

The three warriors lined up, Captain and Marinus on either side of Klein. Neither was surprised by his sudden shift from man to dragon; Marinus had lived around such transformations his entire life even though he lacked the aptitude for the skill himself, and Captain could also change at will. The Garudor stretched his wings, fluttering a little in anticipation.

Gauging that the other two were ready with a glance to either side, the dragon knight spoke again. "Everybody ready? Good. Go on three. One." A tensing of muscles. "Two." Spines arched on the reptiles, while the avian's wings extended for a quick take-off. "Three!"

Though all three started together, the difference in speed became obvious quickly. Within a few bounds, Klein had pulled far ahead of the other two, while Marinus lagged slightly behind Captain. The Garudor seemed upset about this, giving an odd squawk and flapping all the harder, while the Evren just kept running, huge clawed feet thumping hard on the flat ground, digging deep ruts in the soil.

Klein just smiled and kept running. There had been a tiny notice right after starting that had popped up in the corner of his vision. Every time he got one of those little "Level Up" signs, he couldn't help grinning. With the speed boost from leveling, there was no way those guys would catch him! Not with the starts they had had.

"What the heck?" Captain shouted, scowling at the quickly escaping Paragon. "There's no way he should be that much faster than me. What do you think he's doing?" He glanced back at Marinus, who just shook his head.

"Maybe all that level stuff he's always on about is real," the Evren suggested, gaze focused straight ahead on his running. "Maybe his, I don't know, running level is higher than ours or something."

The Garudor gave a short laugh. "Running level, yeah right. He's cheating somehow. Well, two can play at that game." The Plains were a wide place, and, with no marked course, who would really be able to say if he... drifted off course a bit?
