maH wa' - Lucky Escape

[general_chang]

[Chang utterly missed the flood and he's feeling pretty darned good about it.] It is good that the turbulence did not affect me, I do not believe Klingon opera is suitable for my...[vicious grin] fellows' delicate ears.

[He shrugs.] If you were affected, I am not unfeeling of your anguish, being control beyond your will, we have all experienced this, have we not?

Spar with me and vent your frustration, hmm?

[OOC: Here ends my spam, folks. Sorry about that.]

[bigbad]

How's that different from all opera?

I'm always up for a good bit of violence.

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

We do it on purpose.

Good. The gym. Ten minutes?

[Assume fight, spam convo afterwards if you like? I'm just not terribly good at writing this stuff, despite apping a Klingon.]

[bigbad]

[He laughs.] fair enough.

All right, see you there. Name's Spike, by the way.

[ooc: Sure! I don't know enough about Klingons to know if he or Spike would win. I know that Spike is a lot stronger and faster than humans and has a tendency to not stay down or give up even against opponents who are a lot stronger than him, and he's got a hundred plus years of fighting experience.]

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

Chang.

[Chang is around 115, so just over a hundred himself. He's also a former Quch'cha, which means, that he was born with the results of a genetic disease derived from Augment DNA, which means even though he looks weaker than most Klingons, they were much stronger, just more sensitive to things like loud sounds and disease. So not terribly unevenly matched?]

[Chang arrives promptly and waits for Spike.]

[bigbad]

[Spike arrives a little after that, all swagger and confidence. After a good, long chunk of fighting, they agree to a draw. Spike laughs as he rubs at his shoulder, which took a particularly bad hit.]

Well, that was fun.

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

[He smiles and stretches his very bruised arm, and ignores the blood coming from his ear.] Yes, it was.

[namorofthesea.livejournal.com]

I'd love to.

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

Good. Hour in the gym?

[namorofthesea.livejournal.com]

I'll be there in one hour.

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

[As above, assume the fight, convo after?]

[namorofthesea.livejournal.com]

[Sounds good. As before, not sure who would win, Namor's stronger than a human and fast, and has Atlantean military training.]

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

[It was a reasonably fight, and Chang was spent, especially given that this was his second sparring session. He nods at Namor, appreciating the work out.]

[namorofthesea.livejournal.com]

[Namor was a bit beaten up, but grinning. Wiping a small trickle of blood from his lip, he said,] That was quite enjoyable.

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

An excellent release. [His arm was next to useless now, but he felt very much at ease.]

[namorofthesea.livejournal.com]

We should do it again sometime.

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

We shall. A worthy adversary takes the stress out of the day.

[terminates.livejournal.com]

I wasn't affected.

But I'll take you up on that, if you're free.

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

Perhaps some time this evening?

[terminates.livejournal.com]

Sounds good.

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

Six hundred hours. [Same as above?]

[terminates.livejournal.com]

See you there. [That works! Though Slade's gotten a bit of a boost recently since he got his powers back.]

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

[And Chang's arm's probably still a bit bruised, so Slade wins.] I am curious about these abilities.

[terminates.livejournal.com]

[It was a good workout so Slade is a little winded himself.]

Enhancements via experimentation. My warden returned them after the port.

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

Experimentation? [He is fairly neutral, but there's undirected disapproval there.

[terminates.livejournal.com]

[He catches that but doesn't comment on it.] Supposedly, to grant immunity to truth serums during the war.

The actual results were quite different.

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

That seems normal for government experments.

[terminates.livejournal.com]

Seen a few for yourself?

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

I stamp down them as soon as I find them. They are not tolerated in the Empire.

[terminates.livejournal.com]

Any particular reason why?

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

Because thousands died and many more were genetically damaged because of such an experiment.

[terminates.livejournal.com]

[Sigh, some things never change.]

That sounds about right.

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

It was not repeated under my leadership, nor that of my government.

[terminates.livejournal.com]

Good policy.

[Slight headtilt.]

What brings you here?

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

No government's policy is perfect.

[terminates.livejournal.com]

[Small, self-depreciating smile.]

Guess not.

[Slight pause.]

How long have you been here?

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

[Shrugs.] Five months. [Actually it's three, just Klingon months are like twenty one days long.]

[terminates.livejournal.com]

Any progress?

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

I have no interest in the redemption in the eyes of this Admiral.

[terminates.livejournal.com]

[He smiles, a touch ironic.]

Likewise.

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

[Nod of respect.]
