Third Star || Video/Action for the Arena (Day 54)

[starryguyed]

[ so the past few days have royally sucked, and Tsukiko's finally been given a reprieve from healing to catch her breath, recuperate--

... hahahaha like she would just sit quietly. ]

Is everyone doing better? If you're still recovering in the hospital, I can come down and help things along. It was mostly paperwork in the clinic today, too.

Ah-- that's right. And there are still so many arrivals... um, hello! My name is Tsukiko Yahisa. I'm a healer in Sigyn, and if you're new to your power, I should be able to help. Please let me know if you need me for anything.

[ okay, so maybe her smile's a little tired, but she's at least trying to keep her spirits up, though it falters in the next minute. ]

Also, if... anyone's heard anything about Ririchiyo-chan, I'd appreciate any news.

[ a pause. Oh, there's the smile again. ]

In the meantime, I think I'm going to make use of this. At this rate, I won't be able to catch up with the others!

[ and she lifts a giant bow - the kind used in Japanese archery - giving her viewers a polite nod before the feed ends. You can find her in Thor District's Arena on an open range, dressed in archery gear and concentrating on drawing her bow and shooting her targets. After a few initial shots, she seems to settle into a better sense of aim and concentration. Approach? ]

[ she pauses, glancing in his direction. ]

... What is it you want from me, exactly?

[He didn't expect to be spotted again but he didn't act surprised either. Varon folds his arms.]

How well can you handle pressure?

[action]

[starryguyed]

What kind of question... [ with a small sigh. ] I've gotten better. In this case, I just had to remember who I was drawing the bow for.

[action]

[last_to_kneel]

So...it's more of a spiritual thing?

[Now he's curious.]

[action]

[starryguyed]

... Is that it? [ she looks a little sheepish. ] I'm not sure how to explain it, but I think the more you worry about everyone who's watching and expecting, the shakier your bow is.

[action]

[last_to_kneel]

[He smiles, nods then it fades.]

So ya never learned t' tune things out? I think once ya get used t' the noise, the easier it'll come to ya. Go on.

[action]

[starryguyed]

It's more like the situation has changed.

[ but she does lift the bow again. ]

[action]

[last_to_kneel]

Then adapt to it. Learn t' use your surroundings to your advantage.

[He folds his arms and waits.]

[action]

[starryguyed]

My surroundings?

[action]

[last_to_kneel]

Yeah.

[He nods and points to various spots around the arena.]

Standin' in one spot makes ya a target. Try usin' other places like behind the wagons or maybe up someplace high. Mix it up a little.

[action]

[starryguyed]

... Mm. I'll give it a shot.

[action]

[last_to_kneel]

I'll leave ya to it.

[He took this as an opportunity to leave at this point since there was really nothing else more to say.]
