Ah-ha! Good idea—definitely gonna need those.

[dropoffs]

I still have to work, I can't have you putting me out of commission.

[ they are teasing. but also in a way that says they mean this, they're sure she can hit pretty hard. ]

[psynchroneyes]

I'll try to hold back a little for your sake.

[ she says, while all the meanwhile rolling out her shoulders. ]

[dropoffs]

Thanks, appreciate it.

[ sliding the pads onto their hands, getting them secured. ]

You can hit my right hand as hard as you want, though - not sure if Shoma told you or not about it.

[psynchroneyes]

—Oh, yeah. 'Cause it's roboty or something, right?

[dropoffs]

Yeah - padding on that side's more for your fist than it is my hand, but better safe than sorry.

[ they'll show her after she punches at them. but will assume a solid stance so if she does hit harder than anticipated, they won't go tumbling over. ]

[psynchroneyes]

Heh, all right. Tell me how this feels, then.

[ She assumes a stance too, briefly studying him, then—she swings. It's a solid throw, and pretty hard; it's evident she's been doing this martial arts thing for a long time now, in both form and force. ]

[dropoffs]

Oof - [ they felt that. it's not nearly as strong as she normally is, but she already knows that. there is a nod though. ] That was pretty good! You pack a punch, don't you?

[psynchroneyes]

[ Barely a fraction of it. For all that she put into that, Mizuki pulls back looking disappointed by the results. ]

Not to be a downer, but—man, that felt like nothing.

[dropoffs]

That bad, huh? [ lowering their hands and looking down at the punch pads. ] The nerf really does take a lot of the oomph out of things.

[psynchroneyes]

Literally. [ While rolling out her hand, ] Buuuut... I'll take it that was hard enough, huh? So long as I'm not a total wet noodle now.

[dropoffs]

Al dente, maybe. [ teasing ] It was hard enough, yeah, you still hit pretty hard. So your hard work's not all gone.

[psynchroneyes]

[ pfft— ]

And not forever, either. Then how about a few rounds? Won't even have to worry about me breaking anything.

[dropoffs]

Why not? It'll help keep you fit and active - better to stay on top of your workouts while you're in space. The shift in gravity, even in a gravity controlled setting like the Eudora, can be hell on a body if you're lazy.

[ they do toss one punch pad aside, keeping the other on their prosthetic right just in case for now. ]

[psynchroneyes]

Good thing I'm not lazy! Alright...

[ Mizuki shifts into stance again. ]

Ready?
