Hangin' out [open]

Who: Wing and anyone who wants to drop by (but especially aimed at those he promised to call and meet up with later)
Where: The Hub's bar and likely various other places around the city, feel free to say where you want to meet him.
When: All week.
What: Meeting up with anyone who wants to come have a drink with the knight.
Warnings: Drinking and anything others might bring.

Over the next week, Wing would be spending a lot of time in the bar, or meeting people in various places.  Some he promised to contact later the day he arrived, he would be calling each of them over the next few days, looking forward to meeting up with them and getting to know them.

Whether meeting in the bar, or coming across someone in the city, Wing was always one to greet the other with a grin.  Hello, Haven, come meet this derpy hippie knight.

Drift didn't press the attack, not yet. He was trying to get a feel for Wing's movements again, testing the water, so to speak. Taking a couple steps back, Drift began circling again. He noted Wing's footing, his stance.

He pressed in again, quickly stepping in and aiming a punch at Wing's dumb smirky face. He fully expected it to be blocked, it was too obvious a move not to be. If Wing did block it, Drift intended to use the distraction to try driving a knee into the other mech's abdomen.

ooooh snap, keeping Drift on his toes. His balance was great, he had that much down near perfectly. Came with all the sword training he'd been doing over the years. He recovered from the push quickly, noting how light it had been. Wing was testing him. Drift had half expected it, but it was still somehow annoying. Probably because it just made him want to impress Wing. Show him just how much he'd improved.

Drift didn't let up this time, pushing the attack as though nothing had thrown him off. It was obvious from his movements that, although vastly improved, he was still getting frustrated.

Aaaaand BOOM, flat on his back. Just like the old days. He may have muttered a few swear words under his breath before landing. Just saying.

Drift just stared at Wing from the ground. His dumb pride just took a pummeling, okay.

"You have got to be kidding me."
happyclappyhippydrippy: (is that accurate)

[personal profile] happyclappyhippydrippy 2014-05-23 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
"I hadn't realized I was so tense, I guess. If it's no trouble, I'd like for you to teach me."

Drift sat up, but remained seated on the ground. "I never came across too many people who were really great at hand to hand combat after I left Crystal City. The Autobots were just as attached to their guns as the Decepticons, so my options for sparring partners were generally pretty limited."
happyclappyhippydrippy: (i assume he's joking)

YOU TOO BUDDY

[personal profile] happyclappyhippydrippy 2014-05-23 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
Drift nodded, hopping to his feet. He stretched a bit before taking a stance, not really feeling tense at all, but Wing was probably seeing something that he didn't notice.

"I chose this frame with balance in mind, actually. It's more maneuverable than the last couple I had, they were a little on the clunky side. Still not really feeling tense, though."
happyclappyhippydrippy: (did you see the new SnK)

[personal profile] happyclappyhippydrippy 2014-05-23 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Drift did indeed jump, making this little undignified little squeak/grunt noise in the process. Totally uncool. He really hadn't been expecting Wing to just jam his fingers between his plates, but he was still annoyed with how he'd reacted to it. So uncool.

"Yeah, okay!" Drift moved to bat Wing's hand away before trying again, taking his stance, offlining his optics. He repeated their little venting exercise from earlier, letting himself relax, pushing the tension out with each exvent.
happyclappyhippydrippy: (but what IS the one piece)

and shenanigans apparently

[personal profile] happyclappyhippydrippy 2014-05-23 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Drift nodded obediently, onlining his optics when he was finished with his exercise. He hadn't noticed before just how tense he'd been, but he could feel a significant difference now that he was finished.

"I can do that. How long did it take for you to get used to it?"
happyclappyhippydrippy: (goddamn tree hugger)

[personal profile] happyclappyhippydrippy 2014-05-26 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
"I like the sound of that. If I keep at it, I'll be a pro in no time."

Okay so maybe Drift was being a little overly optimistic as well, but that's how he rolls these days.

[personal profile] happyclappyhippydrippy 2014-05-26 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Drift did as instructed, mirroring Wing's movements. He wasn't quite as smooth in his own movements, but otherwise he seemed to match them pretty well.

"So. What's this for?"
happyclappyhippydrippy: (where is your nose dude)

[personal profile] happyclappyhippydrippy 2014-05-26 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"Feels like my joints are a little stiff," Drift said, mostly just thinking out loud. He was focused on Wing's movements, how natural he made it look. Back in Crystal City, Drift had never really noticed little things like this about him. He'd known Wing was skilled, of course, it was kind of hard to miss when he was getting his aft kicked in by him on a daily basis, but he'd never really taken the time to just observe him. The way Wing's movements flowed so gracefully and seamlessly was almost mesmerizing.
happyclappyhippydrippy: (is that accurate)

[personal profile] happyclappyhippydrippy 2014-05-27 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
"That would be really handy to know. Significantly larger opponents are really the only ones I have any trouble with anymore." Not counting Wing, of course. The last person Drift had lost to had been Overlord, and he was kind of enormous, swords alone just hadn't cut it (if you know what I mean).

Buuuut that line of thought was taking Drift back to something he really didn't want to think about. He pushed it out of his mind and straightened up, rolling his shoulders and beaming ever so slightly from the praise. "To be fair, it really wasn't all that difficult."

"Sounds like a plan to me. I'm looking forward to it." It would definitely be a better use of time than sitting in the bar every day had been. "Is that it for today?"
