vatheon | How to Train Your Cyborg Dog [Open]

Who: Rinoa, Sacra (said cyborg dog) and YOU! Yes, you.
Where: In a clearing near the forest
When: Today
Style: Prose, but will match!
Status: Open~~

With her powers returned, and being able to wield her normal weapon again, Rinoa decided it was a good time to get Sacra out and do a bit of training. He was a smart dog and already well trained, but she wanted to see what else he was capable of. Without breaking him or hurting him, of course.

Said training today involved shooting projectiles out of her Blaster Edge mount (not the proper way to use it but shhh) and having him take off after them. Call it Fetch v2.0. The projectiles were a rubber material; tough enough to survive the mount but not so hard as to hurt Sacra's teeth.

The two are going at it with gusto near the forest, with Sacra tearing off after the projectiles. Once it's warmer, she plans to do this on the island, where there's more room and less protective barrier to break.

However, they will need to take a break eventually, so feel free to come say hi and chat.

The clearing had been an ideal place to work on his sword skills, since it would be relatively free of others walking around, which meant a lower chance of incidents occurring. He went through a series of exercises with his sword, and by how sweaty he had gotten in sweatpants and a sleeveless shirt, he had been at it for quite some time.

He was concentrating on transitioning to another exercise when something came into his line of sight, and pretty fast. A disc of sorts. Was it an attack?

Not wanting to get hit, he tumble rolled out of the way, however instinctually he managed to get a swing at it. The sword was pretty sharp, so it would be possible that it may have been cut neatly in two...

Meanwhile, Aya looked around for where the disk may have come from, still pretty tense and alert at this point.

The rubber disc is cleaved in half, its pieces bouncing over the ground as they broke apart.

A few seconds later, Sacra comes into view, running towards where the disc went. However, with it nowhere in sight, he pauses and whines, head tilted as he begins to search for it.

Upon Sacra entering his field of vision, Aya recognized it. Oh boy, if this was Rinoa's dog, then she couldn't be too far. So he walked over to the pieces and picked them up.

"Do you think she'll be happy about this?" Alhough he was talking to the dog, he didn't expect much of an answer.

Sacra just sort of stares while Aya gets the pieces. Whelp, now what was he going to play with?

Since he hadn't returned yet, about a minute later, Rinoa comes running towards them. "Sacra! Where did-"

Her footsteps slow when she sees Aya, and what's left of the disc.

"Uh... what happened?"

Aya had a sword in one hand, and the pieces in the other...

"I thought it was an attack..." This was all the explanation he could muster right now.

Well, she wasn't sure what Sacra's involvement in this way, but from the looks of it (now that she's processing it), the dog seems innocent in this.

She walks over to him and glances down at what's left of the disc. "I'm sorry. I didn't realize anyone else was out this far."

He handed over the pieces, shaking his head softly. "There's no need to apologize. I kind of...overreacted."

It was more like acting out of instinct, but she didn't need to know that.

"I'll pay for the damages."

"No, I get it, really. At least it didn't hit you."

She shakes her head at his offer, though it's appreciated.

"It's fine. Stuff's free here anywhere, and I have a spare."

"What is that, anyway?" He hadn't seen a disk made of rubber before. He had seen more than one frisbee made of plastic, but not rubber.

"It's a rubber disc. A dog toy, really. I needed something that would survive being launched out of this." She lifts up her mount, attached to her arm. "But I guess I should have made sure it could survive swords, huh?" she said, teasingly.

"Probably." Aya chuckled before really getting a good look at her weapon. "Is it meant for animal sports?"

"Nope. It's a weapon. I just took out the weapon part and using the mount to shoot the discs." Likely improperly, but oh well.

It was an off weapon in his opinion, and it showed on his face. "So when you do use it as an actual weapon, what does it do?"

"It shoots, just like with the discs. Except the actual weapon is a lot sharper and can cut through. It boomerangs back, too." As weird as it looks, the Blaster Edge is an efficient weapon. Usually.

"You'll have to show me how it works one day." Aya wanted to see it in action, because he couldn't really envision how it should work, or how something that sharp would boomerang back.
