The Megling Commandos are the oldest and highly respected military unit that still are in service. Here in the Quarters, They prepared for oncomming missions, they trained, and they resided if they were on standby. There were multiple large rooms. There was the CQC training area, where friendly sparring was almost always happening. In The Armory, there were a number of weapons, sorted by type. Most of them had a number to tell who used what. The dormitories contained a number of bunkbeds aswell as a first-aid table for when training went wrong. All these connected to the Main room, The place where the Senior Officers discussed plans around a large table, usually with a map on it.
Tristana was busy with a scheduled sparring training. Today's training was possibly the most annoying of all, therefore also the most effective. the Bull Ring. Tristana was against her 4th opponent now. "Ha!Come on! Harder!" She was obviously focused on her environment as well as the enemy. Her opponent dived at her, but Tristana rolled away, and suddenly the SO called: "Al! Your turn! Suddenly, Tristana had to jump up to avoid being swept off the ground by her opponent. She tried to punch her, but Al dodged and grabbed her arm. Tristana reacted by suddenly punching at her shoulder and meanwhile sweeping her off her feet herself.
((Hi everyone, this is my attempt at creating a base for people to come and see Tristana. I'm open to critique, as I'm quite new to this))

Megling training... now this could be interesting, Poppy thought as she leaned against the doorframe and watched the spar going on. It seemed no one knew she was there yet, so she thought to herself what to do. Whether to wait for the fight to be over, or to make herself known now with the chance of seeing Tristana hit the dirt from the distraction. The choice ended up being simple.
"So, the famous Megling Commando training consists of you beating up the trainees Tristana? I expected more from the famous Commandoes."
She was not wearing her usual armor, and had instead chosen to wear jeans and a sleeveless t-shirt, but there was one thing she almost never left anywhere, and it was in her hand as usual. Whomper, her father's old smithing hammer.

"Looks like you have a visitor Tristana. Try to keep it short." "Excuse me?" Al went "One'd think the FAMOUS ambassador would be more observant than to confuse recruits with regulars!"
"Al, that's enough! Poppy, the bull ring is serious." Tristana walked out, dusted herself off, and gestured Poppy to the armory. "So, to what do I owe this honor?"

"If you want me to see you as more than a recruit, "regular", you can prove it later on, if you think you can fight a League Champion."
Poppy's expression is serious as always, making it highly likely that she meant what she said to the commando. She then turns to Tristana and follows her to the armory.
"With how close Bandle City and Demacia have gotten, I have been able to take more free time to visit home than usual. And I decided to visit the famous Megling Commandos. To see if everyone here is worth the reputation and up to your level of skill."
She lifts and leans Whomper against her shoulder as if it's obviously massive weight meant nothing to her.
"I wonder if the easily agitated one of the commandos out there could even lift Whomper. Or if they would risk fighting someone able to carry their weight with a single hand.

"Don't take it too personally, Allison gets upset if you insult our training methods for some reason. I've been decent. All this news though. The Void attacking, Noxus leaving the institute. I wish I'd hear some good news for once." Meanwhile, the Bull Ring was going on. Poppy could hear someone hit the ground. "Ouch. Hey, didn't you want to try us out? The Yordle limped to the med bay! "Better luck next time! Anyway, I'll go talk to the SO, see if we can't arrange something." Tristana walked to the Senior Officer, discussed a few things, and then nodded. "The SO says it's okay, if you don't mind the less experienced commandos staying out of it."

"Certainly. Just make sure they can take a punch. I think my years working with Whomper has made me strong enough to be able to break someone's jaw without trying."
Poppy holds Whomper in her hand quite casually before lifting it from her shoulder and handing it towards Tristana.
"I trust you can keep Whomper safe while I... "test" the commandos?"
The hammer would feel extremely heavy, but Tristana should be able to carry it without much trouble considering the cannon she carries around on the Fields.

Tristana takes the hammer and puts it on her shoulder. "Alright. Wait, do you know how a bull ring works? Or should I explain?" Tristana looked at the Commandos, who seemed eager to try their true mettle

"Yes, that would be preferrable Tristana. Better not get in there and accidentally break all the rules, correct?"
Poppy starts stretching her neck and then her muscles, preparing for whatever might be coming. The Bullring... an unusual name in Poppy's opinion, but it did fit the Commandos. They could be quite hard-headed after all.

"It's really not THAT hard. It's about discipline, stamina, and not taking in more space than needed. So the way it works is, you all stand in a ring, except two, who'll be fighting within. You fight him or her until he gets called out or someone else gets called in. Also, no going near the ring, you'll be thrown back and no, you can't strike at them when they do, unless the guy behind you gets called in, our SO loves doing that. Clear?"

"I see... that is quite an unusual method in my opinion, but I suppose it is good training. "
Poppy shakes her head in amusement of the test ahead. How hard could the famous Commandos hit? Could they beat a self-learned warrior? If they couldn't even provide a challenge, it would be disappointing.

"Sure!" The commando's all looked at Poppy with a mix of excited, curious and firey looks. With all the less experienced recruits and some of the regulars left, the ring was suddenly not that large. Poppy would have to watch her steps carefully, as leaving the ring was not going to happen. "Hey, how many do you want to have, Poppy? I usually do 5 consecutive. "

"Considering I have never done this before, perhaps I should not try your amount. You have done this for a while after all."
Poppy looks at the commandoes and recruits present. This would be interesting. She continues stretching, preparing for the "Bull Ring". She would probably have to hold back her strength a bit in order to not accidentally break the jaw of one of the opponents.

Poppy shakes her head as she is shoved, managing to stay up-right. She looks around, her look as serious and menacing as usual. She was prepared for the test, but was she prepared for what the Commandos were able to do.
"As humans say... 'Let the games begin.'"
She then walks over to the ring, and makes her way inside it, awaiting for the "Bull Ring" to begin.

The Senior Officer stood on a small footstool so he could oversee the going ons in the ring. "Alright, Ambassador. Try not to inflict lethal damage just yet. Also, would you like me to introduce everyone, or will you just go at it?"
The 18 yordles in the ring were stretching, preparing for a fight for their prestige, aswell as grasping an oppertunity to have a 'real' fight. ((Short post, whatever))
