โ โ โNice to finally meet ya proper, Maruzensky!โ
โ โ ...Totally tubular... Ferdinand felt like she was whacked across the face with slang she hadn't heard in a while.
โ โ โYou front run too, yeah? I'm more of a closer myself... strange how that works.โ
โ
" Totally tubular! It's nice to meet you, Ferdie! "
She takes the hand offered to her and shakes it.
" Not every day anymore I get to meet another Nijinsky understudy! "
โ
โ โ โI also studied a bit under 'er! Name's Ferdinand, I'm an American transfer...โ
โ โ She held her hand out.
โ โ โPlease, call me Ferdie.โ
โ
" Nijinsky?! My my, now that's a name I've not heard in a long time! You're right on, though, that's me! Maruzensky. What's the lowdown on you, Miss . . ? "

Hello! I'll be participating in the Uma3H AU event.
Any post with #UMA3H in it will be related to this scenario, otherwise nothing will be different.
Information will be linked below!

โ โ ...It does seem odd that Ferdinand's movements weren't... entirely straight. Her footwork's solid, and she seems to know enough... but her right hand didn't quite swing, flick, or thrust in perfect arcs or lines.

//open RP, extra credit gym class//
Alright class this is a two fold lesson.
One for physical exercise and two to defend yourselves from the various world ending threats this school encounters once a month
*she hefts a rapier*
Today we are learning fencing!
@3GsofUmas โ
โ โ Ferdinand shifted her body back from the hip thrust, 'oop'ing gently as the point missed... a rather unfortunate spot, had it landed.
โ โ And when the swipe up came, Ferdinand backed up enough to parry, bouncing her blade off the impact in order to flick forward!
โ
โ
@3GsofUmas โ
โ โ Rats, she missed... she slid back whilst standing back up, taking advantage of the way she's stanced in order to do this quickly.
โ โ โ...Ain't been a fencer long... but I used a small sword in my bullfighter days.โ
โ โ Experience with a similar weapon too, huh?
โ
โ
โ โ ...Tending to the roses again... Ferdinand noticed there were some more flowers in the garden.
โ โ Golden... beautiful, too. The latter was a sign of utmost care.
โ
@3GsofUmas โ
โ โ And with this sudden shift down, the American transfer student went for a leg thrust, using her flattened stature to extend her reach, and the very momentum of the crouch for speed!!
โ
@3GsofUmas โ
โ โ Incredible-!
โ โ Ferdinand felt a sudden pressure as her sword was knocked away for a bit, and she seemed open for a thrust to the chest, but...
โ โ Suddenly, Ferdie dropped down, crouching in a way to either move her head away or under Turk's rapier, ideally both.
โ
โ
@3GsofUmas โ
โ โ ...Slowly... Ferdinand advanced, right leg keeping in the front to keep a steady stance... rapier held just forward enough as a passive threat, but not quite too far either.
โ โ This woman she's dueling... something about her screams 'discipline'...
โ
@3GsofUmas โ
โ โ ...A reluctant nod.
โ โ In all honesty, it's been a while since she held anything resembling weaponry... let alone a rapier.
โ โ But even if she forgets... her muscles wouldn't. Her other hand went behind her back, and she faced Turk with her sword-side, point raised.
