@Wayward Sure. If I had to guess the others are waiting for the finish playing out.

Indeed. There isn’t much for me to add as my last post was just before the most recent.

Pretty much. Also waiting for Vivi to actually answer Droka. That would be nice.

Yeah. In the interest of brevity and getting the show going I'm figuring I'll just use my next post to throw the spar; I was gonna try to draw it out a bit longer but I'd rather get the story moving.

@Wayward You, uh... just gonna ignore Seifer's entire counterattack?

After catching Zack's baton against his own, Seifer used this moment of closeness to attempt the modification he'd made to the strategy he borrowed. The Struggle Bats all had handles that ended in a hook shape. Already holding his bat backhanded, Seifer moved to grab hold of Zack's bat using the hook end of his handle and tried to force the bat out of Zack's hands. A disarmed opponent would make for easy pickings, and an easy win.


Cuz if ya are, then I'm going to assume it went through successfully and furthermore write my response as such.

I suspect I didn't quite convey Zack's response to Seifer's opening move as I intended for it to be interpreted.

I'll address it more thoroughly once I'm back home; it'll be easier once I'm at a computer.

I'm guessing this is where the misunderstanding is rooted; from my opening move.

Provided that his move created the opening he sought from it, he would follow up on his parrying motion with a swing towards Seifer's chest.


The swing that Seifer is countering didn't actually happen. Rather, it was framed in terms of an if-then; the "if" being Seifer committing to the thrust, and Zack parrying it, neither of which ended up resolving. All that my first move amounted to was Zack getting his baton up to prepare himself to parry the thrust if need be (and also putting it into a somewhat better position to react if the conditions changed), and a small reorientation of his stance.

What I was referring to was the fact that Seifer literally just tried to use the hook-shaped handle of his bat to yank Zack's bat out of his hands by force. He attempted to completely disarm Zack and so far I'm not really seeing that being addressed.

Edit: Okay, well either you made an edit to your post or I'm just a blind idiot. Either way, my issue is resolved and we can continue forward. xP

I'm ready to continue on.

For the record (if I didn't insinuate it clearly enough), Zack 'saw' his father watching him from just outside of the sandlot. I do hope to bring him in to some capacity down the road, if only for the sake of providing Zack with a character development moment.

I’ll apologize again. COVID ended up going through the family these last few weeks and that had my mind focused on other things. With everyone finally better, I’m going to try and get my head back into RP mode and get a post out ASAP
