Who: K.P. Hob & various
Username: K.P.Hob
Warnings: None
[Standing beside and towering over a combat dummy is one K.P. Hob. As always he stands ramrod straight, though today he holds his well-used halberd in one hand. His attire is a crisply pressed peacoat worn over a knitted turtleneck.
No pants.
He clears his throat, yellow eyes briefly shifting to the person recording this video before, apparently reassured, focusing once more on the lens. When he speaks his voice is deep and refined, with the affectation of rolling the odd R here or there. Somehow, his mouthful of many sharp teeth fails to obstruct his speech even slightly.]
Ahem. Good evening. I come to you today with a request. You see, while these—[he pauses here to give the dummy a light swat with the flat of his blade for emphasis]—are adequate while drilling forms, I find myself sorely lacking in practical combat exercises. To this end, I would like to enquire if anyone is in need of a sparring partner?

Is he supposed to be naked Like That.]
I could use some practice. What kind of combat are you looking for?
[Please also accept the same face he has when seeing aliens also with no pants. Because not all the aliens wear pants.
He’s just. Staring.]

Most don't ask. Some do. Some, when confronted with his silence, simply walk away. Which will John choose to be?]
My requirements are few, you'll find. Quarterstaves to start with, perhaps?

[Pull yourself together, John.
He rubs the back of his head, clearing his throat, his expression turning marginally more neutral.]
I’ve been practicing Bantos Fighting, it’s a style from a world one of my friends is from. You use two smaller rods, about half the size of a sword. I could show you a few moves—I’m no expert, though.

Some of the stuffy formality goes with it as well, and he permits himself a wide and toothy smile at the suggestion.]
Most intriguing! I accept. Perhaps in exchange I might demonstrate a thing or two myself. When are you available?
