Owner Pose
Remy LeBeau She got the text message a little after lunch to meet Remy in the Danger room. He hadn't given any special instructions beyond that. At the moment he only has a very simple program running. A hologram of the Cajun himself holding a bo staff...just like the Cajun himself. Actully it's sort of difficult to tell the two apart at all, save for the hologram is standing unnaturally still.
Erika Kristasdottir Souvenir paused on the way from the lift to the Danger Room to throw on her working outfit.. the yellow and black one, annoyingly, to placate certain whoevers who might catch her in the halls. She's supposed to be logging danger room time, in a ridiculous bumblebee suit; and she prefers her slinkier colored suit, but, eh. politics. The other clothes are in her bag.

"You rang?" She slips in and sets her bag of clothes in the cubby where such things are supposed to go, then faces you, listening, eyes flicking around to try to watch for anything out of the corner of her eyes, or whatever.
Remy LeBeau Remy LeBeau nods a bit and tosses her a bo staff. His own bo staff specifically.. and the learning of a hopkido master to go with it. "How long memories stay wit' yah, aftah yah loos contact wit' somet'ing like dat?" he asks curiously, as the holographic Remy's eyes follow the bo staff, reorienting on the girl.
Erika Kristasdottir Souvenir mms, taking her gloves off and stashing them in her sleeve. She swallows down a whimper, trembling a moment as she compiles it, then opens her eyes again.

"Just a few seconds, tops. It's kind of like yanking a thumb drive out of a computer. Then they're kind of scrambled; I can get a little bit out of it, but not nearly as much. If I give it back for a few seconds it refreshes." She turns the staff over in her hands a bit, getting a feel for it, not having tapped the staff yet.
Remy LeBeau Remy LeBeau nods a bit, "Well we gonna push dat. First yah gonna run t'rough with mah staff. Den wit' a practice staff Ah bought just today. Den wit' mah staff again. Back an' fort' a few times. Ah'm curious ta see if maybe we can' build up some muscle memory as it were.
Erika Kristasdottir Souvenir winces. "It hasn't worked so far. Really frustrating. I take notes when I copy a skill and hope I can understand half the jargon and stuff I wrote down afterward. Sometimes I take videos of myself. Later on, it's like 'How the hell did I do that, anyways?', and I read my notes to myself, and it's all technical terms and stuff that made total sense when I knew it. But we can go ahead and work on stuff. I've been working out a lot so I can do things without straining myself." She idly kicks one leg up and hugs it to her face, then lets it down.
Remy LeBeau Remy LeBeau quirks a brow at that move and mutters softly in French "If I were only fifteen years younger..." A small private chuckle and then he adds, "Or if my girlfriend couldn't rip off my arms and beat me with the wet ends.." He shakes his head as if to clear it. "Well we will be doin' non-power practice as well. Just t'ought we would give it a try non?" He waits for her to adopt a fighting stance before saying "Begin programing.
Erika Kristasdottir Souvenir drops into a ready stance - your favorite ready stance, with just the slightest of adjustment times as she compensates for her different build. Immediately, she starts adjusting to whatever movement might start appearing.

In french, with your own regional accenting, she comments, "<Oh, but you aren't, are you? It's okay, I'm told I'm seeing someone.>"
Remy LeBeau Remy LeBeau laughs a bit at that, a rich deep laugh, but he doesn't look away as the girl, and his hologram come together, separate, and come together again. Despite the holo being programed to fight like Remy himself, he's backed it's difficulty down significantly, so she should have little trouble overcoming it.
Erika Kristasdottir Souvenir steps in, mirroring your usual stance, and flows into your usual combat tactics. She's not as big or strong as you, but she has some personal experience to compensate for that, and she can match you move for move. The dialed down part is very obvious, as she pretty much trounces the intro holo without breaking a sweat. "<So how much did you turn this down by?>"
Remy LeBeau He smirks a little bit. "Quite a bit... but Ah'm sure dat yah'll appreciate it when yah gotta go round 2 with de unused stick." He says with an amused tone as she pretty much wipes the floor with his holographic doppleganger. He picks that staff up off of a bench and gives it a toss to her, holding his hand out to catch her's in return. "Reset program and begin on Erika's signal." He instructs the computer.
Erika Kristasdottir Souvenir trades sticks, gasps and twitches a couple seconds as she grabs the new stick. She shakes her head a bit, then drops into a ready stance. More of a generic one from observation. Still reasonably solid. "Ready." She frowns at the holo, all of the knowledge gone, completely gone. She thinks a moment and decides that offense is probably better, she doesn't have much counters with a staff.

She comes in on an angle, feinting high then coming around low, rolling the staff through some defensive positioning in hopes that that's going to be enough. Form isn't terrible for a student, lots of power and flexibility, but the practice and the instincts just aren't there anymore.
Remy LeBeau This was easy the first time right? The holo comes at her with obvious skill and precision. Mixing sweeps and jabs. Nothing meant to do more then bruise, but it's not holding back to much either. He may have turned the difficulty of the holo down, but he apparently didn't turn it down to "Beginner".
Erika Kristasdottir Souvenir makes a bit of a face, trying to defend and not managing much past that. She has practiced, though not so much with a staff. "ow." She turns a block into a jab at your doppelganger's foot, suddenly, and pushes in to crowd it, trying to get some better angles or maybe be able to use some of the unarmed stuff Laura showed her. Like that foot block and backfist to the ear.
Remy LeBeau Remy LeBeau, or at least the holo fo him is grinning ear to ear. Almost like it is enjoying itself. Stepping back slightly as she steps in, knowing to keep a bit of distance between them to prevent his reach advantage from becoming useless. It sweeps at her ankles, then another blow coming in at her shoulders. The whole time the real Remy watches passively from beside the mat.
Erika Kristasdottir Souvenir picks up her foot at the ankle sweep, brings up the staff to block the shoulder strike, then turns the staff to bring the butt of it around at HoloRemy's eyes. That would usually make somebody blink, right? Quick kick at the knee, focus, focus.. The style is more Laura than anything else, but not exactly. She's breathing harder, but she can keep this up for awhile. Lots and lots of cardio and sprints and swimming. Openings are adding up, if only because she's not as experienced as she wants to be.
Remy LeBeau Remy LeBeau doesn't want her to get too worn out on the first round, so he calls a halt to the round after two minutes, and tosses the girl a bottle of water. He types a few commands on his tablet and a holographic version of herself appears opposite the other Remy. "Now take mah staff... an' walk me t'rough what yah shoulda done different." He says calmly, waiting till she has her air back to begin it again.
Erika Kristasdottir Souvenir catches the staff, mewls a bit and twitches, then shakes her head out a bit. "Wait, now how did I do that last time?"

She frowns a bit and tries to mimic the stance she used before. "Okay, this is isn't the stance I'm used to. Laura's, isn't it?" She gulps some water down and shakes out the tension some, then tries to walk through that last fight from memory, furrowing her brow. "Okay, that doesn't.. Okay, I guess that makes some sense. She'd want to crowd you." She furrows her brow a little bit. "More practice with a cane than a staff."

She walks over to the motionless holo, trying to go through some of the movements slowly to refresh her memory about how she was fighting a minute ago, ponders a little, and then steps back to her start spot. "Okay."
Remy LeBeau The Cajun nods, helping her with the breakdown... letting her have another round with his staff, making her go another round without it. Then making her analyze her performance again. Each time himself noting any and all improvements in the girls technique...
