VINCENZO PROFACI || Teaching: Self-Defense, Special Cases (OTA)

[profaci]

[ Because this guy is in a really nice business suit but he looks like an Italian mafioso, you may be wondering to yourself what you are doing here.

He is also leaning against the wall of the training room that he's been given for this class, smoking. Yep. Smoking.

He'll grin at each one of you as you enter, and wait right until the bell for stepping up and clapping his hands for attention. ]

All right, all right, let's get this show on the road, kids. I'm Cen, I own Haven, I will throw you out of my club if you come in and ask for a drink before you're legal, and I'm going to teach you all to Not Die.

First lesson? Form a circle around me.

[ Once you all have, he's hitting his left fist into his right palm. Now that smile of his has gone a little feral. ]

Everyone ready? [ And without waiting for a response: ] Great! Now, come at me!



ooc: Yes, Cen will spend the entirety of this class having you guys charge at him. Yes, we'll have to roll for this.

[magicmissile]

[ ...Yeah, no. While some of Rin's classmates are enthusiastic enough to come at their self-defense teacher, Rin hangs back.

Way back.

Plastered-against-the-wall back and breaking the circle, with his dragon perched on his head as usual because there is no way in hell he is going to just come at a guy who smiled like a werewolf. Which, you know, he kind of actually is. Rin did a bit of reading before coming in to class. He'd gotten curious about who (and what) his teachers are, and he does like knowing things, so.

Still not regretting that he didn't take the Weapons class though. ]

[profaci]

[ And you might notice that Cen has started calling out to the ones who are, like you, trying to hang back.

...Whatcha gonna do, kid. ]

[magicmissile]

Uh--

[ He just looks around a bit in panic. ]

No thanks, I'm trying to, uh, not die?

[profaci]

[ Give him a bit, he's side-stepping one of your classmates and letting him charge headlong into a wall... ]

You're DEFINITELY going to die if you don't bother learning any of this, kiddo.

[magicmissile]

I'm learning, though?

[ He's watching, too. Not just... sticking to the wall. (But he's mostly sticking to the wall.) ]

I just learned that you've got really good senses that you don't need to see someone charge at you to side-step them, making them gain more momentum than they thought they would have to tackle you and instead crash into the wall. Sir.

[profaci]

[ Oh, a smart one. Finally.

Grinning at, as he almost absentmindedly thwaps another girl across the nose. ]

So what would the best strategy to take me down be, in your opinion?

[magicmissile]

Definitely not a sneak attack, or a, a frontal, um. Attack. Sir.

[ He's just being a smartass sorry. ]

[profaci]

[ ...Sigh, he almost had expectations. ]

That's not a strategy. That's you bullshitting me.

[magicmissile]

Uh, well.

There's always fire...balls...?

[ Last he checked this class was self-defense, not combat and strategy!!! ]

[profaci]

Come here before I come over and get you.

[ 8D ]

[magicmissile]

Uh---?!

[ Panicking for real now.

What do aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ]

[profaci]

[ ...Too late. Charging now. Wow he is fast.

#sorrynotsorry ]

spell: untouchable (space 2) ; gnosis 1+2 > 3 > 9 1 0(0(0(6))) > 4 i love you purple dice

[magicmissile]

Ah, shit-- Don't come near me!

[ He'll run. And maybe trip and look generally awkward and clumsy while he's at it. But he'll do anything to get away from the werewolf coming at him! ]

ooc; "Effect: This spell enables a mage to perform slight intuitive "tweaks" on the local fabric of space to slip away from hostile attention. Generally speaking, this exceptional avoidance looks coincidental, something plausible for the individual in question."

[profaci]

[ And since he smelled the burn of magic in the air...

To you and the rest of your classmates, it's going to look and sound like a really frightening roar as Cen comes at you. For just you and whoever else is attuned to the Pattern, however, you're going to feel the way said roar seems to snap your spell apart.

Welcome to getting tackled by a Storm Lord, kid. Yeah, he is heavy. ]

[magicmissile]

[ There's a squawk when he goes down, confused at how in the hell did he manage to do that, and then the thud of the impact makes him black out for a second and then all he could think of was-- ]

Fuck, owwwwwww!

[ He'd demand a refund, but he isn't even paying for this. ]

[profaci]

[ Laughing, staring down at you. ]

If you wanna be "strategic" on the field, you might wanna do your research first.

[ Yep. So did use air quotes there. ]

[magicmissile]

[ He groans and just... lies down there, pathetic. ]

Pretty sure my combat and strategy class doesn't start until Wednesday. Sir.

[ Wheeeeeeeeeeeze ]

[profaci]

Then I guess that means that you've got no choice but to focus on getting whipped into shape by yours truly, eh?

[ :D :D :D ]

[magicmissile]

[ Nooooooooooooooo :( :( :( ]

Y-yessir.
