[closed] "getting three gorgeous men to protect you during training is impressive..."

[gotyourbach]

Who: kaede akamatsu (gotyourbach), qrow branwen (blodsvorr), goro akechi (grakraka), gundam tanaka (gundamned), ryuji sakamoto (ryuji)

Where: the dojo!

When: pre-Candlenights log

What: Nervous about taking a weapons class for the first time, Kaede invited several of her friends to come with her. Like, half of them are there for entirely different reasons, though.

Content Warning: Ryuji is a vulgar boy, also Akechi is here? So who knows, really. Possible spoilers for DRV3 I guess.

[Welcome to the dojo! While this particular room might be soundproofed from the outside, the inside is anything but restful and contemplative. The high ceilings and slightly-springy mats reflect the sound back inside, the crack of wood against wood and metal against metal as others train inside really creating the atmosphere that this is a place to learn how to fight. Or wallflower. Or watch out for weird perverts. Hey, whatever you're here for!]

[blodsvorr]

[There's that little exhale, a small expression of his recognition of that word's unique ability to get to him. It's so casually used so often, but he can never quite ignore it. A reaction always comes out one way or another.

The teacher, though. Qrow watches him rather than looks at Ryuji. The fingers of one hand tap against his arm, the clear irritation shining through.]

I'll give him ten more minutes to prove me wrong. As a professional courtesy. Then I'll do something.

[And that something will be......

....pick a fight and then be a petty-ass ho. Hey Ryuji maybe widen the net on your search for decent adult male role models, because Qrow is not a great option.]

[ryuji]

[If the exhale registers as anything in particular to Ryuji, he's just assuming it's over the theatrics that are going on in front of them. This guy doesn't really seem to do well with people who don't have any experience. Shit, even as he is now, with as much training he's had in the Metaverse, Ryuji doesn't even think that he'd be performing very well either. Not that this is his open invitational or anything.

But he watches Kaede try as hard as she can, and it pisses him off to see someone treat this as a disciplinary lesson. It's almost like watching volleyball practice back at Shujin and it's starting to get to him.]

Dude, she looks spent.

[And it's when Kaede is so tired that she begins tripping over her own staff that Ryuji's body instinctively presses off the wall.

He's going to say something. And it's going to be incredibly vulgar.

Does Qrow stop him?]

[blodsvorr]

[He absolutely does not, why would he ever, Ryuji is a good boy doing the right thing. Press X to SUPPORT]

[ryuji]

[Having been filled with the power of SUPPORT, Ryuji moves forward to the demonstration that's going on in the middle of the room. He's been trying to keep a low profile ever since deciding to enroll back into school, but this is definitely going to send him straight back to the bowls of "don't talk to that weird, vulgar boy" hell all over again.]

Hey, asshole!

[He's gotten the attention, but maybe it's a little overboard.]

You think you're helpin'? This is a goddamned joke, what the hell's wrong with you? Not everyone's been swingin' around a stick since they were a baby, you get that, right? Knock this shit off.

[Schmucksmcgee over there doesn't seem all too pleased. He's about one second from having to be the next class demonstrator.]

[blodsvorr]

[Okay, so Qrow should have seen how this was going to go. And as a responsible adult, he absolutely should tell Ryuji to calm down.

No, he's fucking grinning, because Ryuji is a great kid, and Qrow absolutely supports him tearing into the teacher. Sure, it's not going to work, but he supports it. Still, Qrow to do his own delinquent-style kick off the wall, stepping in to get into an argument with Schimms before Ryuji gets himself hit by a teacher who is not any good at his job (in Qrow's opinion).

And We Know What Happens Next.]
