Kenshin sighed warmingly as he eyed the inner sanctum of the dojo. Placeing his sword in it's sun decorated setting, Kenshin turned to his newest roommate, Ratchet. "The bed rooms are to the left, oddball. Make yourself at home so long as you don't trash the place!" The metalic stallion saluted before rushing off to claim his space.
Sitting on the floor before a scroll of his homeland, Kenshin sighed as he started to meditate. As he did so, he recalled Dark saying he was going to go find Kail before returning. As his mind slowly drifted from his body, the Sun Samurai reflected on what happened during his trip. What troubled him most was how Dark had changed so much...
A crash made him open one eye and look in the direction of the living area. Sighing, he shook his head. "This will take some adjusting to..."

((Guess I'm the first person here then.........))
Novaluna walked along outside, neatly dressed in her new (if overly done) fashon designed by amber. Sheesh, she had just asked for a pair of sunglasses....
Seeing the sign in front of the dojo, she smiled. She might as well learn to protect herself. It might come in handy. She pushed open the door and walked in. "Um.... Hello?" She spotted the pony sitting on the floor. Smiling friendily, she said- "Oh! Hi! How much are lessons? I don't have money at the moment, but I'm working part -time at Amber's so I could pay you back."

Kenshin gave up on meditateing entirely as he looked the pony before him. "We don't take money at this dojo. It's the will to learn that serves as the soul of the dojo. We train in three courses; Unarmed, armed and ranged combat. Unarmed lets you learn how to turn your body into a leathal weapon, armed teaches everything from the sword to the bo staff, and ranged will show you the way of the bow and throwing weapons."
He narrowed his eyes then. "However, the will to learn is taken seriously. If you don't think you can handle the training, I sujest you leave now. Our knowledge is precious these days, and we seek to pass our skills to worthy and willing students. Do you think you have the heart to train?"

Novaluna smiled. Obviously they took this seriously. That was good. Without a thought- (Novaluna wasn't really one to look before she leaped) She said "Could I train in unarmed? I promise I'll work hard! I............ um............." Beginning to see that the pony before her wasn't going to be soft on her, she began to get nervous. Just how hard was this anyway? "Well," She reasoned "I've already made up my mind! I can do this!" (I think) Finally she stuttered "Uh....... yeah. I can handle it! I'll take it seriously! Promise!"

Kenshin nodded then, before he stood, dusting his lower body off. "There are many styles of unarmed combat. From things as simple as punching somebody and breaking their nose to punching someone and tearing their heart out along with a rib or two. Thus, there are two styles; Leathal and Non Leathal. Leathal is just that; The styles that one uses to kill without a weapon. Non invloves anything from throws to presure points that can render your target out like a light for an hour at most."
He eyed a chart showing the many styles for both sorts. "Both will invole much phiscal training, and you will at times need to spar in your chosen style to learn hown to counter attacks and turn them on your assulter. Be warned, that this will only work on close range attacks."

((I came to just kinda let you know - Nova Luna is a black belt in real life! Go Nova!
Anyhow, I'd also like to say that this is a really cool place and as soon as one of my characters isn't busy, I'm bringin' 'em straight down here!))

"Um...... I might want non lethal." Novaluna said uneasily, a little shaken up by the gory visual produced by kenshin's discription. "Unless there is a mix between the two." ((*Grins* Thanks wingsong!  )) |

Kenshi nodded at her choice. "There is. If you'd rather not kill an attacker and leave them to face the law, there are many throws and preasure points you can use to put an attacker down for up to an hour. As for the throws, they can be deadly; It all really falls to what you throw them into, off of, so on and so forth as Dark would put it." Turning back, the Samurai frowned. "I shall say this right now. If you dare to use the skills we teach you for personal gain or to hurt others, we will PERSONALY deal with you. No judge, jury or lawyer. The one thing I will not teach you is how to remove knowledge from another's memmory."
He sighed as he looked to the picture of the Solar Plains. "It's not easy being among the absolute last of your way of life... I'm more than willing to teach others what I know; But I pray that I am gifted with a son or daughter one day, so that I may pass my knowledge in full to them. At least then I could rest easy in my grave when the time comes. Anyway, first thing first, tell me all about you. Your hobbies, your max lifting strength, why you want to learn self defence... And please, if you feel it importent, feel free to tell me as much or as little as you belive safe."

"Ok....." Novaluna said, biting her lip nervously. "I, um, just crashed here on a......... um....... comet. I really don't know much of anything....." She then gave an uneasy grin. "But I love stargazing, obviously because of my origin. Like, did you know one of the constillations is called Orion's belt?" She started to realize she was getting off topic and quickly said; "And I would like to learn self defense because I don't know anything about this place yet, and I feel kinda unsafe. I really don't know anyone here, um, except Amber from the salon. It also seems.... good somehow. I can't really explain it... I just want to do it, that's all." She shrugged. "That's about all."

Kenshin blinked for a moment apon hearing the comet part. "Umm... Yes, I am framiler with the stars, the Sun most." Nodding as he looked her over again, he nodded. "You certainly sound as if you have the heart to train. And yes, it will be hard; You maye leave at times with broken bones, but that is only if you try anything above your skill level. For example; I could easily throw someone not only larger, buut heavyer than me. But only because I know the exact spot to grab them, and how to turn their size into an edge on my part."
Standing, Kenshin got out a training ki and a white belt. He then sat them before her. "As you rise in skill, you shall also rise in belt color. The highest you can ataine is Black Belt, the limit that I can teach you. You could, however, add personal touches to what I teach you, and thus create your own style, and even open a dojo of your own. I can't even begin to tell you how proud it would make me to know that a student I taught had become a Master of their own style. I'll sum it up like this." Turning, the crimson stallion brushed a black lock from his eyes. "It's would make me as proud as I would be having a child to pass on my blood and skill."

Not knowing exactly what bones were, Nova was unfazed. She gently picked up the ki and belt, running her fingers over the soft material. A feeling of awe swept over her, and suddenly she couldn't wait to get into this uniform.
"When can we begin my training? I promise...... I'll make you proud."
A thought jolted her. "Oh my gosh! I've gotta tell Amber about this! I'll be right back!" She ran frantically from the dojo.

Kenshin blinked as she took off, being distracted by another crash. "RATCHET, DON'T TRASH THE BED ROOMS!!!" A faint 'sorry!' echoed from the back as the crimson and black stallion slaped his forhead, waiting for his pupel to return. "This is gona be a nightmare, I just KNOW it will..."
