wanted: one sparring partner.
i need someone who can keep up with me, and who won't be knocked unconscious by a single punch.
preferably someone who can heal without visiting a hospital.

( way to sound like a potential serial killer, kara. )

i will pay you.
i'll be at sucker punch tomorrow, 12:00 PM.
please don't be late.

Can't punch what you can't catch.

( Kate... )

[advena]

( that... sounds like the sort of thing barry would say. kara has to resist grumping, but it's really only the fact that the username isn't right that keeps her from unloading all that bitterness. )

i'm pretty fast
are you strong enough if i do catch you?
i don't want anyone to get hurt

[perro]

( uuuuhhhhhhhhh.......

well.............

that sure sounds a certain type of way, and might be a tempting offer if he wasn't picturing some total internet creeper on the other side of these anonymous messages, just 'cause of the total lack of clues into the person's identity. )

thats ok
u clearly got some shit 2 work out n i can def take more than a punch

( not, like, due to enhanced abilities or anything. but he's been through some shit. what's the worst that could happen? )

[advena]

well
normally i'd practice on a car but i haven't found a place to hook one up yet
so this is kind of a last resort sort of thing

( why is there no superhero fight club here? where is cisco when she needs him? WHERE IS HER KRYPTONITE ROOM? cadelle, you are failing her. )

[ un: rogers ]

[recruited]

I can take a hit.

Can I ask why? I won't judge, but know might be nice.

Don't worry about paying. Not necessary.

[advena]

i tried to practice on a punching bag but they kept breaking
and now i might not be allowed back unless i find a person to spar with

( she's too grouchy to pout right now, but if she wasn't... there would definitely be pouting. anonymous pouting. )

[perro]

well i aint a car n cars dont hit back
so dont think im gonna go easy on u just bc ur going thru st

[advena]

if i wanted someone to go easy on me i would have said so
i didn't

you're sure you won't get hurt?

[perro]

positive

( this city seems way overpopulated with the advantaged hero-types, but does rene think he can't handle any one of them? absolutely not. )

Did you know that the average office worker suffers ‘desk rage’ twice a day?

[dedikated]

Your punches come from stone arms?

( Literal problems in Kate's life, tbh. )

Can take a bit more than a simple human can.

[ Making money off getting knocked around a while, assuming this person is as good at fighting as this sort of post would suggest? He's in. ]

I'll volunteer. I can take a licking and keep on ticking. If you don't already have the position filled, I'll be there. I could use the practice. It's been a while.

[advena]

okay then
12:00 PM
don't be late

( she's only 50% certain she can believe someone when they say they're sure, if only just because she knows they don't have all the information. she'll take a few volunteers. maybe they'll back out when they see who they're sparring. or what she's capable of. )

[advena]

more like steel, actually

( kara, could you possibly be any worse at being anonymous? )

[dedikated]

( Well let's hope no one else recognises u bb. )

Got me curious now.

( She's not a masochist, simply interested by powers. And clueless as to how that compares to Jay using all his strength while transformed. )

Always the option of making people sign something. "I agree that I was stupid enough to get punched knowing this person has super strength."

[acuerdo]

don't need pay.
will gladly be your punching bag.
basically indestructible.

[advena]

that's not a horrible idea
i don't know how well it would hold up here in energy court but it's worth a shot

( energy court. kara, you're so lame. )

[advena]

...

no
i did not

what is desk rage?

[advena]

if more than one person shows up, i'll stay longer
i could use the practice too

( she's not necessarily good at fighting. she's capable, and decently trained thanks to alex, but hand-to-hand combat against equally capable opponents has never been her strong suit. she needs that practice, especially if she's going to eventually return home. )

[advena]

if you don't want money, what do you want?

[advena]
