Who: Nihlus Kryik and you!!!
When: Pretty much whenever.
Where: Around the Moira!
What: Weird napping locations and sparring?
Warnings: Sparring??
Lord of Powernapping
Normally, you wouldn’t catch Nihlus dead sleeping. Not even Eric or Tyler have probably ever seen Nihlus really sleeping. Staying up with the blanket draped over him like some demented, huge bird and the glow of his omni-tool lighting the fabric up underneath, yes. Actual sleeping though?
Rare.
And yet, if you walked into the Cargo bay sometime this week, there’ll be a figure curled up against the side of the nearly finished fabricator with schematics laid out around his head like a bizarre halo. Or you’ll find Nihlus down one of the endless hallways, in a dark corner and leaning oddly against the wall with a broom held loosely against his chest (he’s not in Cleaning anymore, and yet). If one ever wanders into the engine room, there’s someone holed up under the pipes, tools scattered about him, but there’s no sound of things being tinkered with.
If one gets near enough, they could almost hear the very soft ‘chrrrchrrrchrr’s.
He’s not in as deep a slumber as he might seem, though.
Training Room
The ship is pretty much dead quiet. It’s a few days after the new arrivals and everyone was down on the Collectives.
It’s strange, but Nihlus found the silence peaceful for once. He finishes repairing that airlock, finalizes the repairs on some of the Scraplet damage and goes down to fiddle with the fabricator some more.
He’d debated going down for a supply run, but… that could wait a while more. They’d gotten a lot necessities through the Amissis-R and the Moira was going to be docked for a while yet from the looks of things.
So, for the first time in a while, Nihlus takes to the Sim room.
For anyone who walks in, they enter a room with tall, sloped ceilings and pale walls contrasted with warm tone lighting. The floor is lined with panels of what almost looked like nacre, the strange, iridescent material warm under barefoot. Wide windows streamed alien sunlight into the space, but if one tried looking out, they’d only be greeted by the vaguest outline of a silvery city through the brightness.
In the center of the room, Nihlus is decked out in his thermals and currently going through some sparring warm-ups with what looked like a red turian VI.
If you want to duke it out with a Spectre agent, now might your chance!
Wildcard!

He and I usually train together. [ He explained, eyes back to Nihlus. ]
Do you not train against humans? [ Though perhaps direct, the question isn't intended to be rude. He understood that some species wouldn't. Humans were a tad squishy after all. ]
I personally like to train against living partners, rather than VI or AI, no matter how well programmed. There's a creativity missing from an AI that often crops up in actual fighting.
no subject
[And friends.
Nihlus takes the break to rewrap the fabric that blunted his claws, watching Adrien and his companion with an air of quiet curiosity.]
Why specifically humans?
[That seems like an odd thing to ask. His training VI could be Asari or Vorcha or even Hanar if he really wanted.]
no subject
[ As for the question, Adrien glanced around and gave a small shrug. ]
I know there can be a bias against sparring against humans, particularly when we are at a significant disadvantage against other species.
Personally, I'd have rather seen about engaging in a direct bout, [ he motioned between Nihlus and himself ] since we're both here. But if there interest is not mutual, I won't waste any more of your time.
no subject
Have you sparred against other species?
[It's not refusal, though, and the Turian is giving Adrien an expectant look as the VI flickers away into nothingness.]
no subject
Before I was here, on the Moira the ship I served on had a great many different species as well as humans with significantly enhanced powers and as a crew we were usually fighting against odds that stacked against even our strongest species and super powered individuals.
[ Adrien held his hands out to his sides in a hapless gesture. ] I am what could best be termed, baseline humanoid.
It was only responsible of me to take what opportunities I could find to spar against other species and stronger crew members in order to develop resourcefulness to help offset what I lack in physical attributes.
[ Lowering his hands, he folded them behind himself in the small of his back, adopting the human military stance of parade rest. ]
I spar hard and with purpose, but I spar to learn.
[ And when that often resulted in his getting his ass kicked? Well, he bounced pretty well. ]
no subject
Well, I won't say no to a sparring partner.
[After throwing down with Saren for so long, it was hard to really push himself with a VI. He's not sure what to expect with this fellow, but it'll fun to learn.]
Would you like some protective gear? Fauld plating?
[He's kicked unarmored humans between the legs enough times to know the results weren't going to be pretty.]
no subject
In my experience, if you connect squarely between my legs, particularly with one of those spurs, having a cup on isn't really going to make much of a difference.
[ Pitcher, stone principal.
However, he looked pleased that his offer for a spar was being taken up and he turned slightly to send Courser off to a corner of the room with a firm command for the bahari to stay put. ]
I should probably wear head gear though. Do I ...? [ He motioned to the room, indicating if he should request it from the computer or if there was somewhere he should go to pick up gear. ]
Heckkk, I am so sorry for the lateness!
[Not that Turian spurs were particularly good for that. They weren't really good for much of anything, really, other than looking nice and being in the way of every single piece of clothing ever made.
Nihlus calls up an in-session interface, the screen appearing as an orange square in front of his face. He types in a few quick commands and a rack of human protective gear appears on Adrien's side of the room.]
There we go. Mind you, all I know is the standard sparring gear for the Terran forces in my universe.
[Hopefully nothing too unfamiliar for the guy though.]
no subject
Lateness is no problem, so often I am running at the speed of snail myself. But given all the chaos going on right now with the events, should we let this thread go?
Adrien would have put up a fight that was admirable for a human, suggested an extremely advanced level of military training and also some familiarity with Turian fighting tactics but ultimately Nihlus would be able to mop the floor with him. ;)
If that's okay with you? And maybe we can catch a new thread if you'd be up for it. ]
no subject
Nihlus would have definitely been holding back in regards to the fight. He doesn't like anyone getting a full read on his fighting abilities. :v
And a new thread sometime would be lovely! ]
