[parodeity]

hey sup izuku its dave
im gonna go out on a limb and assume you got hit up by guren already re sparring
so this is me feeling you out for when would be best for that or whatnot

[inheritance]

You beat me to it! Ichinose-sensei wasn't kidding when he said you were faster than me, but I don't think he meant this exactly...

Do you want to meet up today, since we have nice weather again? We can start off just getting a feel for what we're dealing with first.

[parodeity]

B) you simply cant beat dave strider in an internet off
he is the best there is

but yeah sure today works
do you know where you want to meet?
i feel like the only landmark is really "well hey you know the well"
and then find a better location from there but

[inheritance]

I can see that!

The well works for me! We can decide where we want to go for the spar once we meet there. How about in an hour?

[parodeity]

an hour works for me dude
im punctual as fuck so ill see you then
i will be the hot blond in shades as per usual
which you knew already

forum --> action

[inheritance]

Hot blond in shades, got it.
Just because I already know that, doesn't mean I don't appreciate the reminder.
See you soon!!

[An hour later, Izuku's waiting at the well, just as promised.]

[parodeity]

[ and just as promised dave is punctual as hell!!! ...thanks for just rolling with his hot blond comments, izuku, i am so sorry for his everything. he's in his red magic pajamas still and lifts a hand in greeting. ]

Hey, dude. So, do you have any place in mind...? Edge of the forest or a roof is my best suggestion.

[inheritance]

Hey! [Izuku greets him with a wave and a smile of his own.

Then promptly makes a face.]

The roofs are sturdy enough for traveling on, but I'm not so sure about sparring. That might just make them collapse under us. Next to the forest sounds like a technically safer option.

[parodeity]

Yeah, okay, sounds like a plan to me. [ he'll start walking... ] Btw, what kind of ground rules do you want, or do you want any...?

[inheritance]

[A slight frown tugs at his lips.] Ummm... I can't think of anything off the top of my head. [The joys of being in a hero school where even class spars can get ridiculously violent.]

Ichinose-sensei did say that the main points we need to work on are my speed and your strength. Maybe I could work on trying to catch you while you try to throw harder hits?

[parodeity]

I usually use a sword - is it ok to use it, or should I be learnin' to throw a punch?

[ HE'S NOT BUILT FOR THIS, IZUKU...he is a lean noodle, and all his muscles are speed/sword based for like. speed stats. ]

But like, I am down for a game of tag.

[inheritance]

It's okay to use it! I should get used to dodging weapons like that anyway.

[He curls his hand around his chin with a thoughtful hum.]

Though if you want to learn how to throw a punch or increase your strength I could probably help you with that, too.

[parodeity]

...I should probably say yes, so okay.

[ LAUGHS........HE'S BUILT FOR SPEED BUT HE'LL TRY. ]

And okay, I'll use the sword. I'll hit with the flat of the blade if I do at all?

[ i.e.: he will avoid cutting skin. ]

[inheritance]

Sounds good to me! [For someone who's not wearing much protective gear, Izuku sounds supremely unconcerned. Then again, when you've faced someone like Stain who's really trying to kill you with a sword, dealing with a friendly spar like this isn't too worrying.]

How does this area look? [Izuku stops as they finally reach the forest. There's not much here that they can really destroy with their practicing, thankfully.]

[parodeity]

Looks good to me. Okay, so...we have our rules in place, so like. Do we need a safe word - wait that makes this sound so much worse than it is. How about if one of us says stop we just, like, stop. No questions asked?

[ why does he sound like he's tentative about that suggestion ]

[inheritance]

[Lucky for Dave, the safe word comment sails right over Izuku's head. Though Izuku isn't sure why Dave looks so uncertain about all this suddenly, he nods agreeably.]

That sounds reasonable! We can say "stop" when we need a break or something or if it's getting too intense. Then, we can decide if we want to continue after that or call it a day!

[parodeity]

[ he is not used to the person he trained with most agreeing to any kind of HEY STOP ]

Cool. So...ready when you are, dude.

[ come at him, bro ]

[inheritance]

Okay, here goes!

[Then, with that warning, he activates his quirk, energy sparking across his skin as he jumps, moving much more quickly than a normal human being.]

[parodeity]

[ fun fact: dave doesn't need to do energy sparking to move fast. he just. moves.

here's someone else using it bc i'm too lazy to find baby dave flashstepping LOVE ME KAMILAH

so anyway he jams out of the way ]

[inheritance]

[!!!

Izuku lands and skids in the dirt to slow himself to a stop, looking surprised.]

Huh, I didn't even see you move.

[parodeity]

I'm a master of flashstep. [ ... ] Which is. The thing, which I just did?

[inheritance]

Flashstep...how does that work?

[A new ability he can analyze! Spar-tag is put on momentary hold in light of this.]

[parodeity]

I...move around?

[ kamilah he literally did it as a baby idk why ]

[inheritance]

...you mean, you can do that without even thinking about it?

[What the heck, Dave.]

[parodeity]

Yeah pretty much? I was raised by pretty much a ninja, though.
