Punching things

[Christine Bowen]

Christie was standing in front of a punching bag, beating on it. (Open)

[Stephanie Kaltiera]

"If you keep dropping your guard like that in a real fight, you're going to get hit pretty easily," Stephanie observed, walking over towards her student.

[Christine Bowen]

"I'm not really worried about getting hit."

[Stephanie Kaltiera]

"Never assume that just because you're immune to most things you're immune to everything. Besides, keeping your guard up makes it easier to counter."

[Christine Bowen]

"Show me." Christie replied, turning to face Steph

[Stephanie Kaltiera]

"Okay. Punch me as hard as you can, right in the gut," she instructed, putting up a guard and dropping into a defensive stance.

[Christine Bowen]

"Okaaaay ...." Christie said, sounding a bit dubious. Then she punched her.

[Stephanie Kaltiera]

Tried to at least. Steph was fast, and she deflected the punch while sidestepping and then had her student in a headlock. "And now you have an inhibitor collar on. Or whatever."

She let go and stepped back. "So. Keep the guard up, and just try to always think one step ahead of your opponent."

She rubbed her arm "Still, a nice punch. I'm glad you didn't hit," she smirked.

[Christine Bowen]

"Again." Christie said, stubbornly

[Stephanie Kaltiera]

Steph grinned, dropping back into a defensive stance. "Don't shatter my rib cage, please."

[Christine Bowen]

"Ok." She said, trying again

[Stephanie Kaltiera]

Steph was still able to deflect the blow, but Christine left herself far less open to counter-attack this time.

She grinned, "Much better!"

[Christine Bowen]

"Again." Christie said, determined to land a blow.

[Stephanie Kaltiera]

Steph smirked "let me shift so I can take a hit a bit better, is that okay?"

[Christine Bowen]

"Works for me. Or I can put on shoes."

[Stephanie Kaltiera]

"Shoes?" she asked. "Are shoes actually enough to dampen your powers?"

[Christine Bowen]

"More than floors do." Christie said "it's a thing"

[Stephanie Kaltiera]

"Mutant powers are fascinatingly finicky..." she said nodding in thought.

"Up to you. Do you want to beat up a werewolf with your powers or your teacher without," she chuckled.

[Christine Bowen]

"Let's try it with powers, first." Christie said "no powers s totally plan B."

[Stephanie Kaltiera]

"Alright," she nodded, cracking her neck and letting out a snarl as she transformed.

"I'm faster now too...but you're more able to let loose. Are you ready?"
