[ Not a lot of people stroll in here with guns, and no one with a self-assured swagger. There's a type who come to dojos, and Peter couldn't have stood out more if he'd chosen to wear hot pink and moonwalk. The weapon rack next to Bruce has an empty shelf for those blasters, and the other rack has wooden swords and sticks. ]

No hits to the face.

[ People do that in self-defence, and he's not testing anyone like that for the moment. ]

Classy.

[Peter eventually figures out that he's supposed to disarm himself. Normally he doesn't do this unless he's going into a dive bar that he's been to before, one that he knows won't run off with his gear the moment they think he's drunk enough. Maybe he could dial back to the paranoia. He reaches down to release his holster's catches, pulls his quad blasters out with a familiarity that's pure muscle memory, and he sets them down on the rack with a dull clunk of metal against wood.]

Okay, works for me: no face or nut shots.

[Peter goes for a stick for now - it's shorter than a staff, pretty close to the plasma rods he sometimes tried out. He figures he'll probably get disarmed if Alan is as confident as he sounded on the network, but it'll at least buy him time to get a feel for the guy]

sorry for the delay! router issues

[ Nobody carries weapons like those unless they know how to use them. Bruce glances over them in curiosity, working over how they might disassemble, what kind of bullets they use. He's not fond of guns for more than practical reasons: it's too easy to disarm an opponent, and they jam. ]

[ He takes a stick the same size as Peter, and doesn't ask if he's ready, just lunges. ]

[Maybe he'd been expecting a 1-2-3-go type of deal.

That said, this isn't the first time something took a sudden shot at him. Peter manages to get the stick up, wood clacking against wood with enough force it sends shocks up his arm, before the other dude catches him in the chest]

[ Quick thinker. Good, he'll need that — Bruce holds back enough not to cause broken bones. He's aiming to finish a first round pretty fast: never hurts to act quickly, and never hurts to give an opponent a proper look at what they're asking for during sparring. ]
