i am bored. despite all the excitement this is a dull place. so I propose a tournament. let us test our skills in duels of the sword. no supernatural abilities are allowed only skill. if you cannot fight without them and still wish to fight you can have a league of your own. Ww can hold two separate tournaments.

i would also like to thank my sister astrid who will so gracefully volunteer to provide the catering. she is not aware of this just yet. i would welcome suggestions for a price too. i have little things of value.

who is brave enough to answer my challenge.

	Yeah, no shit, Dad. ~~I've seen your great no wooing skills.~~ Jokes aside, it would be really cool if you would take part, Dad. I have no chance of winning the tournament but I would love to see you fight. At here I can actually watch and enjoy it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He does have very effective teaching skills. Illusions are phenomenal for teaching. But would the winner see any value in it? Brenna would certainly adore it. But poor Brenna is certainly not up against equals. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Perhaps. They would be a fool not to. But she may win, just because the teachings are different doesn't always mean they're better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You have a very different opinion from Laura then. That is very wise. And the ones who need to dial back are not used to fighting like that. Whenever we do an exercise with reduced speed, it is just weird. I'm always so concentrated on not going all out that I start to forget how to fight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kat/Kytana notdarthrevan 2020-02-06 10:38 am UTC (link)
	Well, I wasn't trained like she was. It's all about reading who you're against. You're not out to kill them, just best them. Make them yield, but not humiliate them, you don't want to make them angry enough to do something stupid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kat/Kytana daddyissues_ 2020-02-07 05:26 am UTC (link)
	No. For dialing back and stuff? Do you plan on reducing your abilities to the point where you are only just beating them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know about the spirits of Frost Giants, but I'm fairly certain if you haven't joined the Force by now, a wound to your pride wont make you one with it. There have never been any Jedi or Sith recorded on our tombs that have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A loss would only hurt my pride if this duel would serve as a true reflection of my fighting skills. With the many restrictions laid upon us, it will hardly show who is the better fighter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There are two categories? If you feel that you can't fight without using skills beyond the sword, by all means, just join the one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I was born with my skills. I will always notice a blow before any human can. Now, I can pretend not to act on it but how precise will I be in my mimicry of human ability? Join that fight was never a question.

I meant the other fight. It is still inaccurate. You cannot even your own weapon. A Jedi without her sabre might still be a formidable foe but it is only a reflection of what she can be when she access to everything she is used to.

As was I, I was sold to the Jedi Order when my parents couldn't handle what I could do on their own anymore. But I also have had the luxury of losing my memory and having it supplemented with lies, so I know what it is to have a semblance of being without.

A sabre is... It is a plasma weapon. It is not meant to go against weapons that are unlike it, or from not from my universe. It would make short work of them, and going against you without it will actually be easier than with it. I won't have to focus on keeping the beam as a blade.

It is not that I have no knowledge of it. I have had the displeasure of experiencing what it is like to be a mere mortal. However, I simply cannot tell my eyes to see slower or my ears to close themselves off. Even if I tell my muscles to slow down, it s a pretence that is highly inaccurate. I have done it many times when training the less capable.

You are missing my point, Ms Montrose. In a real fight we would hardly choose the weapons given in the competition.

You could do something to purposely handicap yourself. Put yourself on their level? Maybe stuff your ears, or wear a blindfold. Because you'd be going against quite a few capable people. But if you simply want to be a "good-guy" and let them go amongst themselves... Though you could offer to try the winner? Perhaps train them if you best them. That would be a fine price, better than any trinket.

I still wouldn't use use my sabre. Not unless I had intent to make you one with the Force. I can call any blade to my hand. Not just my sabre. It only comes quicker than other metals would, because the crystals inside know my hands.
