'I recall you tell me you'd learned a few new things on the piano. Care to join me in the music room and show me?'

[End Filter]

[Filter to Jorge]

'How about a little sparring match to test out how far my spells have come since I got them back?'

[End Filter]

[Filter to Five or Yuan]

'I was informed by Felix Harrowgate to speak with either of you about joining the Peace Patrol.'

[End Filter]

[After all the filters are out of the way, Jade sits down in the music room on the piano. For now, he feels like kicking back and relaxing and not writing or practicing his spells. So, he'll just open his journal and let everyone enjoy some music. He wished he could say it was completely accurate to the song, but almost everyone here wasn't from his world, so where he messed up wouldn't be noticed. And for all he could, this was the best at the piano he could be. Anything more challenging would put his fingers in knots and his head in circles. However, this was good enough and he was sure a little peppy tune wouldn't be negative to anyone.]

((OOC: Open to all over journals or in person in the Music Room!))

Colonel Curtiss

[noblefive]

You've got them back? That's good to hear, sir.

Sure. Any time that's good for you.

Jorge

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

'It took a bit of testing and work, but I've gotten most of them back. However, I haven't quite gotten my large spells, but I don't think I'll need Forbidden Artes in a spar.'

[You have escaped Meteors, Lightning from heaven, and a cage of light. Hooray!]

Colonel Curtiss

[noblefive]

Well if they're forbidden, maybe it's best not to use 'em.

[Totally missing the meaning.]

I'm free whenever you are, sir.

Jorge

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade just smirks and chuckles noiselessly at that. Never stopped him before. Regardless, he thinks a moment; he figures they're both ready at the moment.]

'It would be better to go outside than possibly wreck the gym.'

Colonel Curtiss

[noblefive]

There's a pretty nice clearing not too far from the doors.

Jorge

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

'I'll meet you there, then.'

[With that, Jade gets up and heads out.]

Colonel Curtiss - Action

[noblefive]

I'll be there.

[And, lo, the looming figure of Noble Five is waiting, leant casually against a tree.]

Jorge//Action

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[It doesn't take long before Jade joins him, offering a light wave. He's not expecting anything but to test out some theories and the like. After all, the only chance of ever actually beating the man was if he had the Planetary Fonic Arte. Even so that'd been a one-time deal.]

'So nice of you to come.'

[noblefive]

Well, I wasn't going to do anything, anyway.

[He pauses as he walks forward into the light.]

How do you want to do this, sir?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

'I suppose safety is a factor in this. I'd rather we both not be horribly injured and spend a few days in the clinic for a little spar, but i do wish to get a good test of it.'

[noblefive]

[That means he won't be fighting at full strength.]

How are your defences, sir? How much strength can you block?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade seems to think. In relevance to Jorge?]

'Quite a decent amount.'

[noblefive]

Well, my highest strength is in comparison to a speeding train.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

'A what?'

[noblefive]

You don't have trains in your world?

...Uh... Damn, I don't have another comparison.

[Train was about as low-tech as he could go.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

'I'll make my own conclusion. As long as we don't kill each other I'm sure we'll be just fine.'

[noblefive]

As you say, sir.

[Jorge moves off to assume a ready position. Hand-to-hand combat isn't his specialty, but he's by no means bad at it.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade tossed the journal away and the tip of the pen glowed a golden color. In looping, foreign letters, Jade wrote. The fortunate thing about writing was that people didn't know what Jade was casting.

A moment later, torrents of water came flying out at Jorge.]

[noblefive]

[And Jorge weathers those torrents perfectly fine. In fact, the next moment, he's bursting forward, swinging a punch for Jade's stomach.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade sees him and throws himself to the side, Spear summoning and slamming into the ground as sharp and forceful winds cut out from him.]

[noblefive]

[Jorge stands his ground, his body glowing orange from the impacts on his shield. He then moves to punch for Jade again.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade has exactly no time to dodge so the guardian shield flies up, though with the force of the punch, Jade has the pleasure of seeing it crack under the massive pressure and force behind the swing. He was going to have to gauge speed.

To do so, he took off running. He wasn't as fast as Guy, but he wasn't slow either. with that calculated in his head, the shield could take three hits from the punch before it'd shatter and Jade would have to recover before it became available again.]

[noblefive]

[Jorge moves to follow him, running also. For a man of his size and clad in that armour, he's pretty damn fast. He can easily catch up to Jade, and swings out a right hook punch.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade snaps to a new direction, letting the right hook follow him as he dodges left. He could feel the wind as it rushed after him. Being hit by that fist was guaranteed to break something. Jade jerked around, barely stopping as he jabbed the spear into existence above the man's head. Lightning rained down on Jorge's head as Jade quickly jumped a few steps back to avoid another fist.]

[noblefive]

[Warning bells blare in Jorge's helmet. That last spell had zapped his shield down to minimal. He needed to stop Jade from casting until the shield recharges.

A minute, that was all he needed.

He's on Jade again, this time going for speed and distraction than to cause damage.]
