Abe and Aranel had been walking several miles out, just talking. They had their arms linked together and look for all the world like a old fashioned couple.
They stopped outside MVA and looked up at the wrought iron gate.
"Is this a school then?"
"Some school. I bet only fucking posh assholes go here."
"You don't know for sure." Aranel said, flicked his ear. "Now, you want to go wander in? It looks nice and maybe they have some after-graduate courses."
"...You want to go back to school?"
"I'm only interested. COme on." Aranel pulled him along as she entered the grounds.

Molly arrived in through the open gates a little bit behind the two friends without really noticing them. She looked around and saw a lovely seat beneath an apple tree, a bit away from the path. Knowing that she didn't have to collect her itenerary for about another hour - she loved being early and punctual - She took a seat. She looked up at the hot summer sun past the leaves overhead, and her eye caught on a juicy red apple. She felt her stomach rumble.

Aranel waved to Molly. "Hi, um, do you go to this school?" she asked, "Me and my friend-" she gestured to Abe who sneaking up in a squirrel, "Were just walking along and thought we'd have a look in to see if there were any post-graduate courses and that.

Molly looked up at the girl, "I will be attending this school in about 48 minutes, yes. " She looked over to Abe and his squirrel hunt, "You... 'Know' him?" She asked, smiling a little. "I don't know about post-graduate courses. I think they run apprentiships and such though, if you find the right teacher..." Her smile widened and she continued to watch abe hunting the squirrel. She reached up and plucked the apple from the tree, rubbed the skin on her red jacket to clean off any bits of dust and she took a big bite.

"Sure I know, but only in the biblical sense," Aranel said, obviously joking. "And thanks for telling me." She stuck out her hand. "I'm Judge Aranel Ebner, it's a pleasure to meet you. That one over there is Witness Abaddon Goetia. And you are?"
Abe caught the squirrel, looking dead in the eyes. He started to growl at it. If Molly had been able to understand the Cruzen langauge she'd hear the following: "I'm going to eat you, lil rat. I'm going to eat you om nom nom. Head or tail? The squirrel promptly freaked the fuck out.

Molly kept her smile and pulled her own right hand out and shook hers sternly. "the pleasure is all mine Judge Aranel Ebner," She turned her head to the growling man, who, now that she saw him stand still, looked quite different from any person she'd ever seen, "Witness Abaddon Goetia." She didn't ask what Judge and Witness implied. She thought it'd be out of place. "I am Rebson, Molly.... May I ask why, Mr. Goetia, you are growling at a squirrel??" She wondered aloud, giving him a strange look.

Abe looked up. "Oh, I'm just threatening it." he said matter-of-factly. "You have to threaten squirrels, keeps them from getting too rowdy and stealing your nuts." Aranel grinned at that, hiding her grin behind her hand.

Molly sighed. "Well as fascinating as that is..." She paused and took another bite of her apple mid sentence, "- It's incredibly strange. Well. I have about 34 minutes now before I must go and arrive at the front office for the itenerary. Would you like to have a friendly spar to pass the time?" She tilted her head as she asked.

"Well, I don't want to. I rather only fight when I have to." "I'll spar with you." Abe spoke up. He tossed the squirrel over his shoulder and walked over. "Want to fight here then? I'm not really bothered over where we do it." Behind him the squirrel squeaked angrily at his back then raced off, thanking the all the Squirrel Gods for it's fortunate escape.

Molly finished her apple and smiled, "Yeah, sounds good." She said positively. "What's your weapon?" She asked, pulling out her own sword and letting tongues of fire swirl from her fingertips up her arm.

Abe took a length of dark metal from his belt. Lines of light moved along it, etching out symbols and lengthening it as they did. The tip blossomed out sideways, forming into the head of a ornate warhammer. He hefted it. "This." he said, going into a defensive stance.

Molly nodded, "Alright." She said, excited by the challenge, "Let's fight!" She began to grin. Molly thought of the weaknesses of something like a warhammer. It was slow to swing, although very powerful. She edged her way slowly right, knowing each step was important. She held her Katana out with both hands, classical stance. The fire slowly began to crawl up the handle and the blade. The metal and leather itself wouldn't burn as it was in her grasp. Molly then changed her stance and bolted up to Abe's left side to slash with her katana low. She bent her knee to kneel quickly, aiming for his thigh in a fluid and precise motion.

Abe fell down on one knee, the warhammer sliding down from his shoulder. The blade clanged against the handle of the warhammer, just barely missing him, and the sound of metal against metal rang through the air. Abe winced at the sound but stood and moved back a step from her, holding the warhammer in a tight grip. He swung for her right shoulder. He was strong enough that he could move it faster than she would expect, but it was still slower than her katana.

Molly jumped out of the way with a 'woah' sound coming from her lips, and caught herself on the grass. Her sword was now in her right hand and her left hand was free. She sent blasts of fire with her left hand towards Abe, the heat starting to catch a few bits of grass on fire. She got up with a quick jump and stomped them out with her heel, keeping her eyes on Abe at all times.

Abe dodged the flames as best he could, though his hair did nearly catch fire since he had forgotten to tie it back. He pushed it back, now circling her warily. He made a feint towards her left then swung for her right again, this time for her side.

Molly saw him hastily tie his hair and smirked a little, realising now a second weakpoint. She watched him now, circling around him as well, matching step for step to keep them at a stale mate in their circle. When he swung for her, Molly was hit and she let out a cry as she was knocked down. She engulfed herself in thicker flames, purely out of rage, as she hit the floor. She sent another batch of flames towards him in a stream, aiming for his head. Oh that was quite a weak spot with anyone. But he had hair.

Abe ducked as quickly as he could, but the end of his hair caught fire. He grabbed it and quenched the fire quickly. "Hey, low blow!" he called. He pulled a black ribbon from his wrist and tied back to his hair so that wouldn't happen again. He picked back up his warhammer, but that still left a opening for her if she was quick.

Molly laughed playfully, "All is fair, Abe." She saw the opening and ran at him just then with her katana in hand, aimed at his belly. Since it was a spar, she had no real intention to slice him. Only maybe touch skin with it, but that's all.

Abe raised his warhammer but wasn't quick enough. While he had it up in time for the blade to strike against the handle the awkward posture of it meant the blade skidded along, slicing against his side. He growled but tried to hit her in the back of the legs by sort of trying to hook the head of the hammer around and pulling it.

Molly gasped at the blood she drew. She was normally quite good at keep things clean, but she had made such mistakes before. She was out of focus for a moment then and was knocked onto her knees by the hammer as they kicked them from under her. Knowing she had to keep fighting, Molly, being just at Abe's feet, moved to grab Abe's wrist that held the hammer and attempted to burn him.

Abe's response was to try sit on her. He was heavier than a human of his height and stature would be, so it'd be somewhat uncomfortable. He grimaced at the pain of the flames, though she wouldn't be able to see that under the scarf.

Molly was surprised at such a childish move. She flailed beneath him for a moment and then increased the fire and focused them at his back. She hoped they would scald him enough to get him off, although she didn't know how badly they might burn him...

Abe got one good bounce in before he fell off her, making a yelping sound. He staggered to his feet and pulled up the warhammer, aiming for her torso. It was probably a good time since she was still on the ground and possibly still breathless.

Molly was breathless but saw him start and swing and quickly rolled over and he missed. "Close!" She said, catching her breath. Fighting made her feel like laughing- with all the adrenalin surging through her. "I don't know if sitting on someone," She paused and breathed some more, "Would count as an attack" Molly said as she pulled herself up. Amazed at her own energy. She pulled up her katana with her, and immediately rushed in around him for a strick just on the side of his back, where his warhammer couldn't reach.

"Fun though," Abe said cheerily. He twisted around as she struck for his back, fending her off with the warhammer and swung low, aiming for her legs.
Aranel had curled up in the base of the tree to watch the fight and was now sharing an apple with the squirrel.

Molly rolled her eyes and jumped, miraculously landing on the warhammer bits sticking out at both sides. Her eyes grew wide and she found herself whirling her sword after her, and it moved to brush his upper back with the flat side of the blade. She felt the motion and tried to turn it so it was the sharp end.

Ooc; She landed on his warhammer?
Abe tossed her off his warhammer. Nuff said.

((Lawl. Hey you sat on her. XD))
In other words, trying to slash his back epicly failed.
Molly was tossed to the side and she swung her blade as she fell, trying to hit his heels.

This was prevented by the fact that he's wearing boots.
Abe paused then just started laughing his head off.

Molly's face got red with embarrassment, "Damnit!" She said, "Please sease(SP!) laughing at me... I find it fustrating."
