[Sometimes you're so moody your social anxiety takes a back seat.]

Friendly duel, anyone?

The more challenging, the better. I want to struggle to stay on my feet.

Bonus points if you don't use a sword. Telepaths are welcome to show me what you've got as long as you know when the fight is won. I want to see where I can improve.

[ Oh ho...so THIS is the infamous Maelle. The girl of legend (in regards to Scott at least.) Well, Junpei ain't gonna wait around for his bro to introduce them. Not when the opportunity so neatly presents itself here! ]

i'm still on the hunt for a sword
but!!!
you're in luck cuz i just got my powers back

i'd be so down if you wanna test your strength against my persona?

[maellum]

What's a persona?

[Or did this person make a typo... his person??? She has no idea.]

[critpei]

oh man
it's kinda hard to explain

it's basically 'another self' we can summon into battle

mine's called hermes
he lets me do some fire magic
and a whole lot of physical attacks

he's QUICK so you'd def get a challenge!
and it'd also help me cuz it's been
like three months since i summoned him
i'm pretty rusty

[maellum]

Fire and fast are two of my specialities.

Know a spot we might not burn down?

[critpei]

how about the baseball stadium?
ebbets field at dewpoint
it's plenty big enough
kinda gives off arena vibes
we should have space to unleash fire!

...without it turning into a hazard lol

[ Junpei would prefer playing baseball at the baseball stadium, but since they don't have teams in Etraya, a spar is the second best use. Still getting his dream of being front and center on the field. ]

[maellum]

Sounds like a plan. What's your name? So I know who to blame if we do turn it into a fire hazard.

[critpei]

it'll be fiiiiiine

[ Famous last words. ]

but i'm junpei! junpei iori
it's good to meet ya!

[maellum]

I've heard that before.

I'm Maelle. Are we doing this now?

[critpei]

[ Does he say he knows and own up to a bit of stalking?? Listen. He was just curious about who his bro was crushing on! But in the end, he'll pretend like this is just a happy coincidence. She seems to have no recognition of Junpei, though, which makes him wonder if Scott talked about him at all. Maybe...they're not as good of friends as Junpei would like to think they are?

But he'll push that self-conscious thought to the side. ]

i'm free to go at it now
if you don't got others lining up already lol

but i heard your name before
scott mentioned you as a candidate for a potential team he and i are looking to make

just something for us teens to have each others backs
he talk to you about it at all?

[maellum]

That's interesting. Not yet? I think he's been preoccupied with some other things.

[The older him, the crush Maelle was oblivious to, etc.]

Is this like a hang out team or a battle team?
