fashionably_strongHey everyone! I've already got Mother's Day covered for celebrating with my mom, but things are a little trickier with my dad. I've been thinking about it and the thing that would make him the happiest would be if I spent the whole day training with him. He's a super strong martial artist and it's his favourite thing to do.
[Which will be a real labour of love. There's no way she'd willingly subject herself to anything close to what her father would consider a good amount of training on a regular basis.]
I've already been getting some training, but I've never gone all out and trained for a whole day straight.
[It's never appealed to her before. Not even remotely. Regular exercise is one thing, and dancing is fun. 8+ consecutive hours of intense training is something she'll need to work herself up to if she's going to be able to move the next day.]
So...I was hoping to find people that would be willing to spar with me. I want to get strong enough to protect little kids that get drafted and I want to make my dad's Father's Day really special. I'm pretty durable and I can fly, so you don't need to worry about me being too fragile to handle it.
[She smiles and waves.]
Thanks a bunch in advance. In return, I'll give makeovers and fashion advice to anyone who wants it.

Date: 2013-05-12 04:07 am (UTC)Still-- phew! Brave girl! I'm not sure I'd wanna train for a whole day with him, and I like a good fight every once in a while.
[He lapsed into silence for a moment, thinking his options over.]
...I've got a few ideas about doing this, but we can hash it out in person. When did you wanna meet?
[Video]
Date: 2013-05-12 04:10 am (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2013-05-12 04:14 am (UTC)How about the beach then? It's open, you're dad's not gonna be anywhere near there, and the sand makes for an interesting place to maneuver.
[Video]
Date: 2013-05-12 03:14 pm (UTC)[Sand washes off so much easier than grass stains, too.]
Oh, and I'm Bulla, by the way. It's very nice to meet you, mister--?
[Video]
Date: 2013-05-12 03:32 pm (UTC)Cliff. And don't call me mister-- I'm too young for that!
[He was 36. :|]
Wanna meet sometime this afternoon? That'll let us both get ready.
[Video]
Date: 2013-05-12 03:41 pm (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2013-05-13 03:54 am (UTC)[But he now had to know how old her brother was...]
Now, Bulla? I know we're at the beach, but you'll wanna bring something that's not a swimsuit. Wear something comfy and easy to move in, but I won't say anything if you wanted to swim when we're done.
...actually, it might help you with covering this from your dad.
Also, make sure that the clothes aren't anything you care too much about. You might end up regretting it.
: [Video]
Date: 2013-05-14 03:08 am (UTC)[She makes a note of that. She'll have to make sure to get herself a few outfits that are perfect for running around in, sweating, and possibly getting stains on. Although she won't wear anything that's not stylish, she can prioritize and sacrifice more casual clothing that's meant for working out in.]
[Video]
Date: 2013-05-14 06:24 pm (UTC)It's not warm enough for anyone to get a tan right now, but it's still plenty warm enough to get a work out.
I'll see you there say....mid afternoon?
[He had some supplies to gather.]

Date: 2013-05-16 03:46 pm (UTC)[Video---> Action?]
Date: 2013-05-17 01:49 am (UTC)[Action?]
Date: 2013-05-18 01:05 am (UTC)...ignore the conspicuous looking bag that was settled higher up on the beach. Really. Just ignore it.]
[Action]
Date: 2013-05-19 01:06 am (UTC)Hi Cliff! How should we begin?
[Action]
Date: 2013-05-19 02:09 am (UTC)It only made sense.
He turned around and flashed her a grin.]
Seeing as you're more skilled than I thought, we'll begin by making a little deal. You've gotta promise that you'll keep it too, at least while we're at this. Think you can handle it?
[Action]
Date: 2013-05-19 04:34 am (UTC)[To her, there's a difference. Being able to fly means she's got halfway decent ki control, but she doesn't consider herself to be a skilled fighter in the slightest. The only thing she's sure she could do fighting-wise is make an ordinary human thug trying to rob her really regret that life choice.]
[Action]
Date: 2013-05-20 12:02 am (UTC)Now, you willing to listen to my idea?
[Action]
Date: 2013-05-20 12:56 am (UTC)[She might not be a genius like her mother is, but her parents didn't raise a fool.]
Flying just means I can control my ki well enough to manage. It doesn't make me a good fighter. My dad is a good fighter.
[Action]
Date: 2013-05-21 01:58 am (UTC)[He walked toward the bag and started shuffling through it, looking for a specific item.]
Don't worry. I'm not gonna ask anything much, and I'm not gonna intentionally push you too far.
I just need you to keep your feet on the ground while we're doing this. That means no flying. Got it?
[Action]
Date: 2013-05-22 01:11 am (UTC)[Given some people's ideas of training, she'd been worried that he'd come up with something ridiculous. Not flying isn't so bad. Wolverine sent her through a dangerous obstacle course without being allowed to fly.]
[Action]
Date: 2013-05-22 02:07 am (UTC)[He grinned when he finally found what he was looking for in his sack of materials-- poor Bulla hasn't even seen the half of it yet.
She might even kill Cliff by the time they're done, but for very different reasons.]
You're gonna wanna put these on. [He tossed his finding at his 'student' for the afternoon, and was curious about how she'd react.] And remember, we've got a deal.
[It's a pair of goggles. Enjoy!]
Action]
Date: 2013-05-24 02:16 am (UTC)Um...why would I put these on? Are we swimming or something?
[Action]
Date: 2013-05-24 02:50 am (UTC)[Action]
Date: 2013-05-26 01:08 am (UTC)[She's still a little hesitant about putting them on. They look so dorky that she sincerely hopes that nobody but Cliff sees her wearing them.]
