accidental video-open action

[hatesthefood]

[The picture opens up with a burst of static and a muffled grunt before the image clears to show a muscular man covered in dark greens and browns, the bottom half of his face covered by a sinister looking mask. The real attention-getters, however, were the gloves covering his arms; well worn heavy leather to each elbow and wickedly sharp five inch long metal claws that jutted from the knuckles of the gloves.

Anyone that knew Ken well enough would recognize him, but many had never seen him going full out against a series of thickly padded targets in what had to be the gym off the armory at the police headquarters. Showing years of training, as well as years of surviving the life he'd ended up choosing for himself, he spun among the targets, each strike sounding off with a sharp thud. By the look of the slowly shredding targets, he'd been at it for a while now.]

[ooc: Feel free to bother him if you like. Video replies unless you're at the station and want to poke him in person. ^^]

You should spar with Buffy someday. She's a really good fighter too. And she's all release tension with violence girl just like you too -- only you're a boy.

[He pauses, hands still and raised and quite ready to strike.]

I'd look bad if she kicked my ass.

Truth. But I think more tension is released when hitting a live someone than an inanimate object. Not -- that I would know that okay my live is weird.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

I'm used to weird lives. I've lived one for a while now.

[the-dawnster.livejournal.com]

I've only lived one for four, almost five years. So you probably win on that one. So what's with the angst? You okay?

[Aya is here and in full gear. He taps on the wall with his sword to announce his presence.

Someone is here for a spar.]

[He shifts his weight instantly then uses his foot to push himself away from the wall for an extra boost of speed as he brings his sword down on his friend.]

[Neil watches with rapt attention and admiration.]

Whoooooaaaaaa.

[Ken glances over at the recording device as he stops mid-strike.]

Is that a good whoa or a bad whoa?

Re: [video.]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Good, definitely good. That was totally epic, dude!

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it. I feel like I'm out of shape since I've been at a desk for so long.

[ex_tessen852]

That's pretty impressive.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

[Have a big smile, even if you can't see it!]

Thanks.

I'm Suki. Are you a warrior?

[video]

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you, Suki. I'm Ken.

Among other things. I've been fighting for years now.

[It gives her a chill, seeing him like that. Violence, the threat of violence, had always been a part of her life, but it never ceases to frighten her, the potential for such lethal movement. It was a terrifying grace she'll never have and she's glad for it. She's dangerous enough as it is.

Still she watches until it's clear he's pausing for a moment, then she speaks softly, but loud enough to get his attention.]

You're broadcasting love. And if I didn't know better, I'd say you were showing off, too.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

It's all Bandit's fault. I never should've left my handheld within doggy reach.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

[So elegant and efficient those claws of his.]

That's why I like my cat, she doesn't to this very often.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

I think Bandit likes messing with me.

[ Cameron meant to use the gym, but she got distracted into watching Ken, so she's leaning against the wall near the door, arms crossed and silently studying him. ]

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

No worries. I'll pay for the gear I screwed up.

[ Cameron shrugs. For once, she wasn't actually thinking along those lines at all. ] That's impressive.

[ She knew what he was capable of, technically. But seeing it like that... ]

action.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Lots of practice.

[Snapping the blades back into a less threatening position, he glances over at her to give her a bit of a smile.]
