This is the Neo-Swedish engineers' fault, okay

Allenby rocked back and forth on her heels, frowning at the Great Wall for a couple of reasons. One, apparently the Daligig or whoever had yanked out a big chunk of the Great Wall (or one of them, given how many Earths there were) and slapped it into the City like a cheap bookcase. She wasn't big on cultural heritage preservation, but sheesh.

The second reason was that she was thinking. Next to her feet was a bag of toys: jacks, a gymnast's ribbon, a kite, spinning tops, and a few superballs. Believe or not, she was going to use these to develop a new specialty technique--just as soon as she figured out where to begin.

"Man, Nobel Gundam... I knew I shoulda asked Chibodee and George what they did to figure out theirs." She winced when she caught herself talking to her Gundam yet again, and she wasn't even in the Hangar this time... oh well. Allenby picked up the ribbon and began running, executing a technique she already knew well from piloting.

[ooc: So anyone in the Water Cooler post who wanted to do sparring/training stuff, this would be a good place to do it! :3 Or anyone else who'd like to pop in, of course.]

"I'd assume fairly high for being a Rider," Hoshi answered, still defending and attacking with impressive strength and speed for each, not getting tired just yet.

"Why, do you wanna test something out?"

"I wanna do some more fighting aerially, since I'm in Starfighter Command," Allenby explained. It wasn't quite the same thing as being in outer space, but it was as close as she could get without going into the Sensoriums. And she was not going to do this in the damn Sensoriums.

But since Hoshi'd said affirmative, Allenby leaped as high as she could go--which was pretty damn high. "Let's go!"

"All right!" Hoshi replied, deciding that a little aerial combat wouldn't hurt, either. It would provide her with more experience than she had right now.

Since LunaJoker could jump about fifty meters, she jumped when Allenby jumped and landed on the wall itself. She nodded and jumped right at her, sending a punch straight for her with the arm extending a good sized amount.

That arm extending looked a whole lot like Sai Saici's Dragon Gundam, Allenby thought. She didn't land yet, instead countering with a punch of her own--risky but she wanted to see if she could. She slammed her fist into Hoshi's, trying to collapse that arm right back down.

If there was one thing Hoshi was appreciative about being a Rider, it was the fact that the suit she was wearing was able to take quite a beating, so when Allenby's fist collided with her own, she didn't feel much of the impact.

While their fists were met with one another, she turned a little bit and then whammed her leg, it also stretching to hopefully strike Allenby down.

Allenby felt Hoshi twist through the knuckles of their fists, and she started to twist out of the way. But she couldn't see that extension of the leg. "Oof!"

Whacked in the side, Allenby went flying. Mainly downward. She twisted again in midair and managed to land on one of the guard towers of the Wall, stumbling into the crenellation ungracefully. "Nice one!"

Hoshi cracked her neck to the side and smirked underneath the suit she was currently wearing before rolling her shoulders slightly just to get them all loosened from the workout she was getting thus so far.

"Thanks! Are you up for a round two?" she asked, still stretching herself out. (Pardon the pun.)

[nobel-berserker.livejournal.com]

"You bet I am!" Allenby jumped up, ready to go. She was liking this fight so far. Hoshi in that suit was a tricky opponent to deal with--strong and with those extendable limbs it made her moves hard to predict. But it wasn't too much that Allenby was getting pounded without being able to retaliate in kind.

"Awesome!" Hoshi said, jumping as well to meet Allenby head on, glad for the LunaJoker formation to be known as the tricky-skilled warrior. She aimed another punch for her, her arm extending again to make up for the range of distance.
