[ places a pc in ur paws.
jolyne is here at the park where they agreed to have a little spar! she's there just stretching a bit and in general enjoying the sun, the large tattoo of very colorful butterfly wings on her back shifting as she does some shoulder stretches.
looking over her shoulder, she waves. ]
Are you "Lea"?

[ Receives pc gently.
Axel comes strollin' right along to join Jolyne properly, and giving a wave himself, then starts to do some stretches. Even he knows jumping right into physical activity without some would seriously cramp his style. That said, a casual smile is immediately across his face. ]
Yeah. Some people call me Axel, some Lea. I haven't exactly introduced myself with the latter while I'm here, though. But, I assume you got it all memorized?
And while we're at it, you're definitely Jolyne, sparring partner from another world?

You're not used to being censored by clown emojis back home, huh?
[ Which, by the way, he thought was absolutely hilarious. ]
Hmm, as for whether I'd prefer one over the other...I'd say nah. Pick whichever one sounds good to you and stick to it.

Oh yeah? Sounds like a bunch of fun.
[ But hey, he's about done doing his stretches over here, so... ]
We can go with just hands and feet. No need to make anything too complicated for our first sparring match, right?

I do. You can say a lot of people I know do too. So, it's always good for me to stay in shape. Know what I mean?
[ His competitiveness extends to various fields, including sparring matches. ]
You ready?
[ His competitiveness extends to various fields, including sparring matches. ]
You ready?
Totally. I don't wanna get lame and rusty here in a city like this!
[ there's way too much to explore, and clearly some ass to kick, so~ ]
Whenever you are.
[ she adjusts her stance, solid and prepared and gives him a little wave with her hand. she looks very ready to go! ]
Come at me.

Come at me.
[ Well, time to go right ahead, and engage in a fight, right?
And Axel ain't the type to back down after a comment like that. The red head's coming straight at Jolyne.
He's close enough, so how about a punch aimed low, the attempted hit directed towards the lady's stomach. ]

[ there we go! jolyne looks excited the minute he starts running at her. she'll just barely dodge it, being grazed by the strike and feeling the intention behind it. it's exactly what she wants. ]
Alright!
[ she'll trade him a flurry of blows with her fists, jabs aimed for the chest, but definitely not impossible to block. she's not taking it easy on him, but she is gauging him, his strength, his moves. ]

[ She seems pumped up at least, and fortunately, the excitement's contagious! And boy Axel is glad that she isn't holding back, even if he's definitely not like from Street Fighter or something.
Anyways, he gets hit with some of those blows with a grunt, but the rest? He moves out of the way; he's decent enough at that, but the red head's not allowing some bruised area to hold him back.
Right away the red head's al-rea-dy moving to swing a feet towards one of Jolyne's, hoping to catch her off guard to maybe send her to the ground. ]

[ now i just wanna pull out my arcade stick and play sf :(
they definitely both seem to be willing to take hits, and the bruises that come with them. when he brings a foot up, she takes it with a grunt, using the momentum of being swept to the ground to roll back to her feet quickly, grass kicking up.
she uses the short distance to regroup, blowing a little hair out of her face with a huff and holding her arms up defensively, prepared to jab outwards, but also ready to take more blows if need be. for now, jolyne moves to circle a bit, appraising another move before darting in when there's a potential opening for an uppercut. ]

[ Always a chance for that!!
Axel's sort of appraising her as well, by which we mean that he's already moving after her when she's taking the short distance away. His plan's going to be to aim for a punch lower, towards one of her sides, though with her circling around, it's a bit difficult to go for an immediate straight shot.
He decides not to completely come all the way over, sliding around a bit himself, and making it appear that he's got a potential opening. Uppercuts are definitely something he wants to avoid, though despite him trying to set up a lure, he...well. Let's say that avoiding it completely almost happens, but not quite. Catching him more towards the right side of his chin than directly under, and making him stumble back, but right after he's swinging a kick directed towards Jolyne's left side. ]

[ well, jolyne is here in the park and she is just flopped in some grass on her back, staring up at the stars. she's got an ice cream in one hand and a suspiciously full pocket on the front of her hoodie. when she sees lea tho, she lifts both arms from her place on the grass. ]
Yo. Lea.
[ kicks her legs ]
How're you doin' after nine hours cooped up?

[ That sure was a time, ain't it? The result of which has done nothing but ensured that everyone is all but dreading tomorrow. The opposite of fun times, my friends. ]
I'd say feeling like it was never gonna end.
What 'bout you?
[ Seeing that ice cream brings back memories, enough for him to snort, and ask as he makes a gesture to it: ]
Oh and are you keeping another one of those around? I could go for some ice cream. Though, I'm doubting this place has got the flavor I'm fond of.

Same. Time doesn't fly in kangaroo court.
[ snorting a little and then just: ]
Yeah sure, hang on a sec.
[ she shifts a little and rifles around her hoodie for a second before pulling out a second. it's wrapped in foil so it insulates decently and passes it overshe was planning on just inhaling it herself, but this... is probably better! it's just one of those little softserve cones with some chocolate sauce. ]
What's your favorite flavor then?

Sure doesn't.
[ Axel's going to reach on over and lie down on the ground himself even if he's going to be casually eating at his bit of ice cream. ]
Thanks. [ He might as well express his gratitude properly!! ] Back home or anywhere, I've always liked myself some sea-salt ice cream with some friends.
It was our thing to share some on a clocktower, though. Still is, before being brought here. [ ... ] You got a usual 'favorite snack' or 'whatever' you wanna do with friends back home?

[ jolyne is making her way downtown towards the craft table, some long packages of string in her hands. when she sees lea, she lifts her free hand for a small wave. ]
Whatcha makin'?
[ she doesn't hesitate to sit herself right now in front of him and have a look. ]

[ she doesn't hesitate to sit herself right now in front of him and have a look. ]
It sure is.
[ He'll tack that on real quick, before at the question, he'll add: ]
They're...well, I gotta say, pretty friendly for the most part.
[ Even the local grump is friendlier these days so he's counting him in there too. No takebacksies. ]
Energetic, lively, and fun to hang out with. You know what I mean?

[ Axel is indeed already at work! He's been messing around with some of the crafts paper to see what he can do with it.
Those some random patches of failed stuff that look nonsensically disaster-shaped. While some are definitely swans (origami??) and right in his hands at the moment he's got a paper airplane. ]
The newly constructed Airbone CoolAxel 5000.
[ .... why is he like this. ]
What about you? You come up with something neat, or in the middle of putting something together?

Well shit, my idea is way lamer than something called the "CoolAxel 5000."
Did you have to go through like 4,999 iterations before you got 5,000?
[ pfft. she's already sorting out her dumb string. ]
Eh, just bracelets. Something to do with my hands, kinda reminds me a little of Stone Free. It's as close to makin' things outta string as I'll get.

[ A snort escapes him at that, but he's got an answer on the ready. ]
You can say that. But it was at lightspeed so I didn't have to waste a lot of product or my time.
[ He's just messing around on this one, clearly.
But, huh, bracelets. Not a bad thing to spend time on in his opinion. ]
Oh yeah?
Is Stone Free some kind of...actually, what is it?

[ So...a lot's happened today.
Axel isn't exactly in the greatest mood, but fortunately just like a lot of people, he isn't the only one.
He decides at one point to head down to where there's the huge casino. Though, he decides to basically stroll along towards the bar-section and catches sight of Jolyne.
Axel's going to hold up a hand in a friendly wave. ]
Yo, didn't expect to see you here. Then again, this place is exactly the place to be after all of that, huh?
