Fight Club

[notapilot]

It's that time again. Sam puts up the notice on the board and leaves flyers with Bar (as well as asking her politely to translate for anyone who asks).

Fight Club Outback tonight:
Rules are simple
1-Fight friendly; this is for testing skills not grudges
2-Be honest with skills and abilities
3-Break off the fight if it's getting serious
4-Square areas are for sparing with weapons
5-Circle areas are for sparing hand to hand
6-Any area (square or circle) that also has a triangle is for teaching

There are enchanted/high tech weapons available for use that will heal when they strike. (Weird, yes, but I've tested them so I know it's true.)
Security and Infirmary staff are present, but please try not to need us. This is for fun and not grudges.

[OOC: See this backroom post for OOC rules. Feel free to contact me via DM if you have questions or concerns.]

Ragnar listens to that explanation with great concentration. "That only happens in your world?"

Beat.

"And yes, I'm a Viking, and Athelstan tells me it's the year 800 where we are from."

"I would guess that it happens in any world that has humans. From what I know, our minds and hearts haven't changed much over time or distance. Regardless of if the society calls it as such. Let me ask this, are there any times when men, or women if I'm remembering my history right, come back from combat changed. More somber or quicker to anger? Do you have a word for that?"

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Not a word," Ragnar says, "but it happens. Not just after a fight, either. It happens to people that -- suffered violence, of any kind, too."

[notapilot]

"See. Things change a lot, but people are pretty consistent."

"Has something happened to you that you're having trouble adjusting to? Or maybe living with might be a better question."

[bigarmy_strangepants]

"Not to me," Ragnar says, quietly.
