That's a good start. Usually if an opponent is facing you head-on, they'll rush. If you don't have time to dodge out of the way, you have to find a way to block.
[good! great! sora immediately turns his spoon to block, attempting to push tiger back.]
Like that. If you have a bigger weapon like a sword it's easy to use your opponent's momentum to make 'em stumble. And once they do--[he adjusts the spoon for a pretend strike.]--you can counterattack.
[this is so stupid. but sometimes you have to improvise a lot.]
[he will lovingly handcraft wooden swords from the goddamn forest next time, but for now this works. they rush and he blocks, going in for a counterstrike at full speed so i truly hope tiger is ready to block? at least it's just a spoon.]
Fight with spoons? Never. Fight in general? It's sort of my job. [there's a grin.] My weapon's a lot bigger than this though...I've been using it for a few years to save different worlds.
Shocking, I know. [the bitchiness is met with his own brand of sass it's fine.] It's called a Keyblade. Think of it as a big two-handed weapon that's shaped like a key. Sometimes I can use it one-handed though.
[he sighs then.] The profile's wrong because the word "junior" really shouldn't be there anymore, but yeah. That would be part of it.
And I know it sounds totally unbelievable. I'm not sure I'd believe it either if it weren't me. But...how do you know your life wasn't maybe like a fairy tale, too?
[this is tiger's hint to share personal lore if they want.]
[I WAS LIKE. WHAT? but also guess i'm coming for you and jan both on sunday for more threads :\
anyway it's fine sora should have maybe thought about this when chiron went ??? at stuff but sora's stupid so who cares.]
Okay, okay. You know my life wasn't always like that though. It was probably really boring compared to yours, even if you don't remember all of it yet. Anything can happen.
...I don't exactly remember now, but I left my island and ended up in another world with the Keyblade. I got separated from Riku and Kairi, but when I met Donald and Goofy they told me they were looking for the Key, too. So we traveled together while trying to find our friends and getting rid of the Heartless that were trying to destroy all kinds of worlds. And then we defeated Xehanort's Heartless who wanted to open the Door to Darkness.
That wasn't the end of it. That was just the first part.

[he holds his spoon en garde.] Try coming at me.

they look at the spoon, then at sora, and just lets out a large sigh before running at him with it. they are pretty agile! ]

Right... try again?

[ okay then. they will use this stupid spoon, again, and attempt the same thing again. ]

but tiger just brings the spoon up??? in what is hopefully a block??? ]
no subject
Just like that! It's about your reflexes, so if you're watching and react quick enough, you can really throw somebody off.
no subject
How often do you do this kind of thing?
no subject
[so. he has had a lot of practice.]
no subject
[ be less bitchy ]
I guess your profile does call you a junior hero.

[ what the fuck is a junior hero. but. ]
So you just smack people around with a key.
no subject
It's more than just smacking people around. My magic helps out a lot, too.
no subject
[ they hate this. wow. ]
And of course you also have magic.
no subject
We learned from one of the best wizards, but Donald's the court magician. Is that so surprising? [a cheesy grin.]
no subject
[ does sora know chiron is a famous mythological creature. it's fine. ]
It is. Everything you say sounds so fairy tale.

[this is tiger's hint to share personal lore if they want.]
wait i messed up the week they dont know this yet
but they just give him a look. ]
I'm pretty sure it was the opposite of a fairy tale.

You mean you weren't always hanging out with Hades?
no subject
Funny. [he twirls the wooden spoon between his fingers.] I'm from an island. No Keyblades, no magic, no world-traveling...it's a pretty quiet place.
