- Mercy Thompson has posed:
Footfalls are heard as a figure steps onto the hardwood floor of the Chikara Dojo. It's Mercy, here to get some karate practice in. Shi she kai kan is an oddball form of karate, and Mercy comes here nearly every day to keep her skills sharp. She's dressed for karate classes, hair tied back, loose clothing too. Looking around the dojo, she settles at the table, ready to spring up at a moment's notice.
Sitting at the table, Mercy's pouring herself a cup of tea, watching the steam rising from it. She's just waiting on it to cool on down.
- Andre Jackson has posed:
Having been checking out a few martial arts Dojo himself, Andre walks in. Karate wasn't his forte, but he respected the art form and hell he knows quite a bit himself. Still he looks around and he smiles when he sees his mechanic, "Hey Mercy." He says as he walks over to her having already taken off his shoes. "How're you? Is class about to begin?" He asks.
- Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy waves and watches the steam from her cooling tea. "I'm waiting on it. You're not in Gotham?" she asks with a look, sipping her tea once it's cooled down enough. Her own shoes are in a day pack that's on the seat next to her, and she looks over to Andre then the dojo again. "I'm just killing time" she says nodding to the tea.
- Andre Jackson has posed:
He shake his head, "Nope, hanging with my aunt and her girlfriend." He chuckles. "I think my aunts girlfriend swings both ways, because she's been hitting on me." he shakes his head a little bit. He looks around the dojo for a moment, he walks over to sit down with Mercy, "This is a pretty nice place."
- Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy raises an eyebrow. "I'm not saying anything. Watch them make a TV movie about that now" Mercy asides, sipping her tea with a look, "See" she adds setting the tea dowwn again. "It's a good dojo, I take karate classes five days a week" she says with a smile.
"See, if I meet my family, they're all the way in Montana" Mercy says with a nod. "It's always good going to see them but I don't do that enough" Mercy shrugs, looking to Dre again. "See your family's closer, me, I just came all the way across the country."
- Andre Jackson has posed:
He nods his head, "Yeah they probably would." He chuckles. He sits down next to Mercy, "So how long have you been training?" He asks. Looking at her gi and belt, he quirks his brow a little.
- Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy looks to Dre over her tea cup. "Oh I've been training for a good long while" she says with a smile as she gets up, moving to the dojo area itself as she's stretching and limbering up for her routines. Mercy has a time tested routine she likes to run through for karate and she's got it memorized. That 'yote could probably do it in her sleep. Not that Mercy sleep-karate is a good idea, she'd have one hell of a story to explain onc e she wakes up. She's looking poised and dangerous for a moment though.
- Andre Jackson has posed:
Watching as Mercy gets all limbered up, he nods his head slowly. "Cool, well hopefully you can show me something I've not seen yet." He says from where he is sitting. "Have you been in many fights?" he asks.
- Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy laughs. "Yes, or do you mean actual fights outside the dojo?" she wonders, "All I'll say is I can hold my own" she says gently, watching Andre as Mercy moves to the striking dummy, going through her routine, and watching Andre out the corner of her eye. Watching him, Mercy's going entirely through her routine by memory and repetition with a nod to the striking dummy. She shi kai kan was designed for close quarters combat, and Mercy's certainly able to hold her own, even if it's just an ananimate object. She raises an eyebrow at Andre. "Something you haven't seen before, you never seen a woman in a dojo before?"
- Andre Jackson has posed:
Andre smirks and nods his head, "Yeah thats what I meant." He ays to her. Meaning did you fight outside of the dojo. He's familiar with dojos and enjoy them honestly. "Nah, I know plenty of women martial artist, I'm just talking about moves and strike and such." He says simply.
- Mercy Thompson has posed:
"Those MMA girls aren't the only ones people should know" Mercy says as she spins on a heel and watches Andre. "Yeah I've been in a few. My family in Montana is rough, so yes been in fights there" Mercy nods with a smile, looking to Dre again.
- Andre Jackson has posed:
"I know that." He ays to Mercy, "Give me some credit." He says to her. "Not everything is MMA. Which I don't know why they've called it that. It's just fighting, people who know multiple styles and using it in a fight. Stupid." Eh shrugs his shoulders. He quirks a brow up at her, "Well do all of your family take martial arts or just various different styles of fighting?"
- Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy grins. "Mostly it's brawling, really. I fel like I'm the only one wth any finesse. Then again when you know somebody's going to throw a punchh it's easy to dodge." she says annd huffs a little. "MMA. Oh please, being in that cage isn't like a real fight. There's no rules. No referees or anything in a real fight" she says, looking unimpressed, though she does take a step toward him.
- Andre Jackson has posed:
He shrugs, "I said I don't care about MMA, most of that shit is for show like wrestling." He shakes his head annoyed at the two sports. "Anyways, a good fight is just the a good fight, you win and lose based on your skill and the number of opponents." He grins.
- Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy shakes her head. "I was agreeing with you" Mercy says with a sigh. "It's just....no. Give me my family with fighing and brawling, and all coming together s we know it's not serious" she says.
Looking over, Mercy nods quietly. "If you know what you're doing, you got an advantage" she says with a sigh.
- Andre Jackson has posed:
Standing up and walking over to Mercy, "Sorry didn't mean to sound stupid." He says to her. "I agree if you know what you're doing you do have the advantage. Still hopefully we don't go looking for a fight, but will not back away from after we've done what we could to avoid it first. Or thats what I do anyways."
- Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy nods and looks amused. "You've done this before, haven'r you?" she asks while runningg through the second part of her routine. She's certainly been in enough fights growing up. Mercy looks innocent, or at least, she's trying too. Reaching back she ties back her hair again, the hair having come loose, she's tying it back with a hair band.
"You're not stupid" Mercy points out with a look watching Dre quietly, then she goes back to her routine, though it's slowly winding down thankfully.
- Andre Jackson has posed:
He smiles and moves to watch Mercy as she works and begins to wind down, "I know, I'm just joking." He says to her. "So what are you going to do after this?" He asks.
- Mercy Thompson has posed:
"Probably just go home, relax, or tinker with cars. On that note, your money got wired earlier on, your car was a lost cause. So it got sold for parts and we split the money like we agreed" Mercy nods looking over at the door, though once she finishes her routine she's stretching and heading back to the table, the tea cold by now. "What're you going to do, see your aunt?" she ask.
- Andre Jackson has posed:
"I was wondering why I had a large increase in my bank account." He smiles. "Oh no, staying away from my aunts freaky ass girlfriend. I walked in earlier and she knew I was coming over and well...." He cringes. Shaking his head, "I'm letting her and her girl get that out of their system before I head back." He laughs. "Thanks for trying to fix my car though."
- Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy shakes her head. Growing up how she did...she's used to the weird stuff. Instead she's fighting not to bust out laughing. "You...hold on, you walked in on them doing things?" she asks sounding like she's trying not to giggle. "Guessing it wasn't crochet and knitting, right?" she asks having a great idea what they were up to. "Yeah I'd say go somewhere and forget about it" Mercy adds with a worried look. She's not nasty, but sarcastic.
- Andre Jackson has posed:
He sees the face Mercy is making if she is making one and he nods his head, "My aunt was behind her and well yeah." He's shaking his head, "Can't say now that I've never seen my aunt or her girlfriend." He says simply paling a little bit. "SoI probably will go to a movie."
- Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy looks sympatheticc, then shakes her head again. "What's been seen can't be unseen" she says with a look over past Dre to the door. "Ah there's good movies, but" she shrugs.
Mercy nods. "I was going to get food after this, or buy food for my home, then go home and relax. Movies don't sound that bad though really" she adds with a knowing nod.
