h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Okay, I'm seeing that this may not be the eaasiest crash course I'm going to have to give....

Put a bit more feeling into it. The more I can see that you're actually capable of hitting, the faster I can pitch you against more than a punch bag, okay?

If you're fighting a real person, a hit to the chest or torso area will at least wind them and slow them down.

Let's try that again guys..

*Rowhi takes another attempt at hitting the droid, harder than last time, yet still pretty weak*

*Shwoo takes a step back, breathes deeply, relaxes. Then arcs the weapon round in a slighty more controlled manor. Smiles, pleased with the result and then pretends to be oblivious to the noise of small branches falling from the tree behind him. Damn backswing! *

Right, you're both getting a bit better....

Try doing a double hit. You should be swiping in a diagonal motion /
As you do this, swop over so that your motion is \, like you're drawing a cross through the droid....

* Shwoo, feeling an increase in confidence (or at least bravado), steps forward and raises his weapon. In two swift strokes the droid into four. And although the blue flash of energy wasn't a perfect X. It did bear a not to dissimilar resemblance.*

*Tries to strike the droid in a swift motion. Pulls the first strike off without a hitch, but the second one could definatley be done better*

Shwoo, that was fantastic... I'm going to move you up to an animated droid. It won't fight back, but it is a moving target

Rowhi, you're doing well... Keep working on that second strike, you'll get it eventually.

*Shwoo blushes and bows head*

Thank you Master Jedi.

**

You have much potential. You both do.

*activates animated droid*

*Rowhi becomes angry, bringing his lightsabre up to Shwoo's neck*

*His eyes suddenly look frightened and he drops the lightsabre*

Don't drop it you fool!

Rowhi!

I am disappointed in you!

This is not at all proper conduct for a jedi, especially when you were doing so well...

*Shwoo stares hard at Rowhi, eyes burning, sweat running down his temple. Not saying a word.*

*He keeps his weapon on. Ready by his side.*

**

I will not have you two fighting....

*looks angry*

Don't you take that "I'm better than you are" tone with me!

*looks scared*

I'm so sorry, I can only keep control of him for a little while, and every now and again he gets the better of me.

*looks angry*

Shut up!

<*is having a serious LOTR moment* >

Just calm your mind... take control of yourself, see only the truth

*looks scared*

We have different views on the truth

*Looks angry*

Shut up! I HATE YOU!

*looks frightened for a moment, then suddenly becomes strong*

No. Leave me be!

*settles down, gasping for breath*

That's it, just sit tight down there, and work on your breathing...

I am sorry master. My other half is not as respectful as I.

It is no worry Rowhi, at least for as long as you can control it. Once you are calmed we will resume training.

*A very puzzled Shwoo retracts his sabre*
