As Irvine climbed to a small flat area on the mountain side the sounds of the night were all around him. He decided to put in a bit of training before even approaching the dorms, his things would't arrive for some time and he was planning to spend some time outside for once. The full moon lit up the area like a big sky light, perfect for some late night practice. He threw off his brown poncho and laid his hat on top of it beside a shrub, pulling out his sword and laying the sheath so it held his belongings so they wouldn't blow away in the wind. He took one look towards the school, regardless to how the night went he would do his best to stay away from it tonight, as he stuck his sword into the ground he looked up to the moon and kneeled down to clear his mind telling himself in a slightly too loud voice "You're not going to loose it again... Not ever again..." |

Once again, after losing track of time for the umpteenth time, Daniel finds himself trying to hurry in a manner that is as 'safe is possible.' This meaning that his is currently tearin' ass down the mountain trail leaving a dust trail in his wake. He had once again fallen asleep in a area that was a good ways away from the comfort of his dorm room. Plus, with how dark it was his was beginning to worry about the creatures that resided in the caves and whatnot. Trying no to break his neck, he attempted to slow down once he reached a more treacherous part of his decsent. Daniel started to walk slower over the substantial sharper rocks watching their outlines in the dark, stumbling over the unfamiliar sight of the mountain in the light of the moon. After another minute or so of relatively speedy trekking he heard what sounded like a male voice and decided to call out. "Hello, is anyone there? I've seemed to have lost my way." Daniel still tried walking steadily toward the sound of the voice and outline in the moonlight. He raised his hands, palms out, to show that he was not armed, however his khukri knife was still strapped to his back, as usual, if he every deemed it necessary to use it. |

As Irvine was prepearing for a rough nighthe suddenly heard another voice calling out to him, "Hello, is anyone there? I've seemed to have lost my way." this wasn't the same voice he was used to have heard at times such as this, but then realising it was another person, he pulled out his sword and pointed it out in front of him. Then noticing he was not ready to battle he slightly lowered the blade facing the boy fully "This isn't a good place to get lost in, especially when there are such 'monsters' out during the night, this night more than others." he was unsure of how to deal with this person, not many have seen his face before and it was usually a bad omen. To those who did it ment a very vicious end, and the boy seemed tired already |

"This isn't a good place to get lost in, especially when there are such 'monsters' out during the night, this night more than others." Daniel nodded as he took deep steady lungfuls of the night air. "I know there are certain types 'creatures; outside the school that are, let me put it this way...ready to rip off your head and feast on your insides." With each breath he became a little less thanks to years of martial arts training and the condition that went with it. "However, since this night is a dangerous one shouldn't you also be making it down to the dorm rooms?" He his mouth formed into a sort of grin, sensing that the boy just wanted to be left to his own devices. He sized the kid up thinking he could probably take him in a purely physical fight, but since this was a school full of metas he kept his guard up very closely. Daniel's eyes strayed to the blade. 'Seems to be prudy weapon, I know I wouldn't want it turned my way...that would end up being one sucky day.' he thouht to himself with a sigh. |

"Yes 'creatures', exactly how you described them" Irvine swang the sword around and leaned it against his shoulder as he continued."I've decided to stay here for the night, anything out here isn't going to bother me, not as long as I need to be here..." he repeated the last sentence to himself again obviously he said something that hadn't made any sense even to himself. "Either way, my things will not arrive till tommorow morning. And it's been a very long time since I've been outside." he said while turning towards his pile of things still keeping an eye on the mystery man, "But why are you out here this late running down the mountain side?" |

A very embrassed look accompanied by a sweatdrop cross Daniel's face at the mention of his little sprint down the mountainside. "Well, I was admiring the view up a bit higher than this when I well...I mean...I sorta you know...fell asleep." He tensely chuckled reaching a hand to scratch his head. He lowered his hand and let the laugh dissapate back into a more serene and neutral looked that usually dominated his facade. Daniel hadn't made many aquintances since his arrival so what was the harm in trying. "If you don't mind I'd like to ask you just a few questions here and there. If that's okay with you?" He looked into the strangely yellow eyes of the unknown with a calmness he had come to possess when it came to talking one on one. "First, I'd like to say that I noticed that sword and wonder if you practiced any martial art concerning it. Secondly, you seem to be from somewhere I'm not familar with so will you enlighten me a bit on your past." He smiled jabbing a thumb to himself. "If you care to enlighten me a bit, I'll do the same for you. So what do you say?" |

Irvine turned around as he reached his stuff, sitting down and sheathing his sword at the same time. "First, I'd like to say that I noticed that sword and wonder if you practiced any martial art concerning it. Secondly, you seem to be from somewhere I'm not familar with so will you enlighten me a bit on your past." Irvine was feling unusually social that night, maybe it was the fact of finally being outside that made him more chatty." My sword, I spent most of my life practicing with it, as to where I'm from, that's something I've been trying to forget for a while. My family history isn't a very plesant one, its like the old saying: 'money can't buy happyness'," Irvine replaced the tattered hat onto his head "Why do look into my eyes, they are something that has been known to send people running..." |

"Why do look into my eyes, they are something that has been known to send people running..." Daniel continued eyeing the boy though not staring directly into his eyes and more in his general direction. "Well, my folks always told me that you tend to learn a lesson from a person's eyes. That and they said they were windows to the soul n' crap." He feigned the usual casual teenager, but had actually used this method on the people he met for the first time. "Well, if you don't seem that frightening in my opinion, but... If you want to train with me I'd be more than happy to see what you've got." He put on a little smirk hoping to annoy the other person into a hopfully more upbeat mood. Quickly shifting his eyes to the other's eyes trying to detect or read anything that might signal a change in mood. |

"Well then, lets see if you are as brave as you seem..." Irvine got up hanging his hat on a branch on the shrub "You have obviously never heard of me, my name is Irvine and you are the most daring man I have ever come across." he kept his sword hung on the back of his jeans and removed his gloves, he was prepared to take up a challenge from anyone who would stare him down for so long. "I'll try not to go too far..." his face becoming more serious than it was before |

"You have obviously never heard of me, my name is Irvine and you are the most daring man I have ever come across." "I'll try not to go too far..." "Heh, ignorance is bliss, but don't reason me to be anything I'm not...just a meathead looking for some fun." The same playful grin played across Daniel's features, seeing the match as a way to have a little bit of enjoyment out of an uneventful day. "So, what'll be. Hand to Hand or blades." To punctuate the last bit he reached around behind his built bringing the khukri to the front of his pants. "I challenged you, so it's your call." Daniel crouches down to the ground throws a leg out to the side starting to stretch. While crouched he started pulling an arm behind his head and pressing on the elbow he as he stretches out his shoulder, all the while waiting for his opponent to chose. |

"Alright then, we will battle with our swords to see who is better skilled with them, a contest not determined by simple strength" Irvine hopped up and unsheaved his sword holding it in his right hand and the sheath still with the left. As he took a few steps forwards he carefully examined his opponents weapon, it was the only other one he had ever seen and assumed anyone that could use one should be good with it. "Whenever you'r ready" he said preparing for a good match. |

"Now'd be a prime time as any." He shook out his arms his legs and then stepped into a fighting stance hand at his knife. Daniel's left arm and hand shoot out simultaneous with his right hand that quickly drawing the blade in a reverse draw. He brings the knife light and quickly across his palm drawing a thin line of blood. Wincing a little from the light cut he wiped the blood across the knife. Daniel's form wavers starting to blend with his surroundings in the moonlight, he steps into a little more shadowy area. Without direct light from the moon his body becomes much harder to make out in these shadows than in the moonlight. "You'd better be paying attention." He cuckles a bit as he moves into place away from the moonlight. |

'is this guy insane?' Irvine thought to himself as daniel cut himself with his own weapon, and on purpose as it would appear. "I have no idea what you are trying to do, but I am not easily intimidated by people..." Irvine swang the sword and sheath into a cross with a light metalic sound, he had spent a lot of time in the dark in his life and has become familiar with the terrain before choosing to train here, if daniel was expecting an easy battle he wouldn't be getting one. "one way or the other I'm going to take you down, lets see which way it'll turn out." |

'yap, yap, yap...melodramatic competition.' thought Daniel sarcastically to himself before creeping along silently in the shadows, knife drawn and ready. 'Just wait until you come over here...' However, feeling a little impatient, he picked up a nearby rock and lobbed it over close his competition's area. Hoping to catch his opponent in a moment of distraction, Daniel attempts to move stealthly to a strategically, shadowy spot. From there Daniel will wait until his opponent lowers his guard, or he himself is ready to strike. |

As Irvine was trying to figure out this unusual strategy he noticed a rock flying towards him, it caught hus attention as he swang his sword to the direction of its landing without moving the rest of his body, he was begining to see what this school was renound for, but as clouds began to cover up the moon he felt a little more than impatience, he was actually becoming worried. "lets not stall this any longer" he said towards the general direction of where his opponent was standing before while preparing himself for a sneakey attack. |

'Hmm...clouds. Just the break I needed.' he thought triumphantly to himself. Seeing the boy swing towards the general direction of the rock. Suppressing an estastic emotion to chuckle at the cluelessness on his opponent, Daniel watched carefully as he turned away from his current position in favor of the former position he'd held when he first drew the blade. "lets not stall this any longer" Daniel moves closer during this instance, slinking into just a little out of striking range for the sword in case he heard him. Then he resolves to in go for first blood and tightly grips the blade taking off in a sprint towards his target aiming for just above the elbow on his sword arm. "Peek a boo!" he brings the knife in a direct path toward the elbow planning to pull up a little just as it reaches the elbow. |

"Peek a boo!" it was then that Irvine found where he was hideing, he tried to move to the side to dodge an attack and then where he could throw one of his own, but with little success. as he felt a sharp pain just above his right elbow he swang the iron sheath towards daniel, hopefully breaking some bones in his arm as he let out a small shout, the first time anyone has injured him in close range, other than his father, Irvine was starting to feel like this night was going to be a long one. the clouds were a tough break for him, his eyes glowed too much to be missed. |

The iron sheath managed to graze Daniel along his back, stifling back a yelp in stumbled over to the nearest rock trying to recover from almost being broken by the steath. 'Damn that kid hits hard!' Checking his back he finds there is a small line like welt that is forming across his back. He thanked God that he'd been running at the time that he'd struck. "Hey, you play for keeps dontcha." he limped quickly holding his back from the stop he was at to another vantage spot about just as he finished his sentence. |

"what do you mean by playing for keeps?" Irvine made a few quick side steps after the attack landed, inspecting the cut he noticed it wasn't as deep as he thought when the blade got him, but it would definitly hinder his use of the sword, but it was bleeding a bit and it almost caused Irvine to drop the sword, or at least loosen his grip on it. "I didn't know we were playing, I thought this was serious business." he said while coming to a stop about four or so meters away from daniel, his right arm flopped to his side, he wasn't going to use it unless it was nessecery. just to save his blood. |

((OOC: I'm going to be gone for about two days, but I should poset right after that.)) "I didn't know we were playing, I thought this was serious business." Daniel shakes his head and laughs a bit. "Dang, man if we weren't playing for keeps then I would have tried a kill shot there instead of the little cut you got there." He moves from his hiding spot from his hiding spot and walks over to the other as silently as possible, trying to come up behind the kid. Changing his grip on the blade he move up behind, Daniel moved behind his opponent attempting to press the knife to the inside part of the thigh. The moved the blade slowly to the thigh, hoping he didn't jump at the contact or sound of his voice the warned, "Don't move, there is a major artery inside of the thigh that will bleed you out. So I suggest we end the match here and call it a draw." His voice took on a sickeningly sweet tone with the last sentence. |

"Don't move, there is a major artery inside of the thigh that will bleed you out. So I suggest we end the match here and call it a draw." "a draw huh? I guess that's fair" Irvine said as he felt the blade pressed against his thigh, "It's better we end it like this, before we get too carried away, or at least I do..." with that he sheathed his sword and began walking towards his things, he looked at his arm, it didn't seem too bad but by morning it would be nothing more than a scar. He was going to hurt a lot of people if they went on any longer and nights in the full moon were going to very bloody, he had been aware that other wolflike creatures were in the school, and he didn't like to share. |

"a draw huh? I guess that's fair" "Glad you think so..." Daniel sheathed his khukri and wavered back to his full visual form. "Whew! That takes a lot out of me." He wiped the sweat from his brow thankful that the match was over before the other did any more damage than he did. "So, what's your name?" Daniel asked casually before checking his back, and throughly confirming that it was bruised pretty badly with a press. "because your hit hurts somethin' awful." he winced as the endorphins were slowly seeping out of his system and the pain associated with a bruise made its eventual entrance. |

"yes well, thats what a solid iron sheath's for" he tapped on a rock with it and it gave off a very blunt metalic thud, he then made sure he wasn't bleeding too bad. "and as I said before we began, my name is Irvine, Irvine Wolfdagger" he was somewhat unsure if he should have used his real last name in this school, there were people from all over the world in the school and there could be at least one who recognised it, but he didn't really care about that now, he just met someone that could possibly beat him if he rampaged and he'd heard of even stronger ones than him, maybe the school wasn't in any danger from him after all. |

"and as I said before we began, my name is Irvine, Irvine Wolfdagger" "Heh, sorry about that, just a little short term memory loss." Daniel chuckled abit before standing up and wincing a bit. "Well, you take care of yourself Irvine. Just know anytime you want to spar I'll be there, and next time I'll pick." He flashed a smile of goodwill before turning around and starting to go down the mountain. Daniel stops suddenly and speaks seriously although not turning around. "You be careful...there are some who don't see fighting the way I do. There are such that make me look like a complete and inept weakling. So, just be careful..." He starts to walk down the path to go back to the dorms with hands jammed in his grubby blue jeans pockets while whistling a an addictive little tune. |

He thought to himself for a moment, 'yes there are, and unfortunatly I'm one of them some times, but I'll be carefull' as he dressed himself and headed down a different trail, one that will lead him deeper into the forest. ((OOC: yeah I guess that's about it...)) |
