003 [voice] Day 516

[boogerman]

In the spirit of cooperation, I'd like to offer lessons on shadow control, archery, horseback riding and swordsmanship.

Those who think this is a trap, think again. I don't want to lose any more than you do. Speak up and I'll see what I can do. I'm not going to work with just anyone, mind, and I'm not promising to be what I'm not.

[But... be what this place needs, indeed.]

[damselled]

Hm. Archery, you say...?

[voice]

[boogerman]

Archery. The art of shooting pointy sticks at your enemy.

[voice]

[damselled]

Excuse me, I am well aware of what archery is. Sadly, I've never had the opportunity to practice it myself.

I would like to take you up on this, if you are indeed offering.

[voice]

[boogerman]

When would you be able to come to the arena?

[voice]

[damselled]

I have just finished my rapier training for the day, so I would be able to come within an hour or two, if you like.

[Elizabeth has so many questions and they all want to burst out of her at once, but she will concentrate on the topic at hand -- for now! She fiddles with the bracelet a moment before confident she's got it working correctly.]

Hello, Sir, my name is Elizabeth. I've always dreamed of riding a horse. Would you be willing to teach me?

[video]

[boogerman]

I'm willing to try, long enough to figure out if you're hopeless or not.

[video]

[constants_and_variables]

I'm normally a very good student! [Elizabeth has a big smile, and then looks away in thought as if considering. She's realizing that being as she is by and large self taught, she is rather biased on what kind of a student she is. Nothing she can do about this, so she focuses back on the stranger.]

In any regard I promise to try not to disappoint. May I have your name, Sir?

[boogerman]

Pitch Black... The Nightmare King. [A dark chuckle follows.]

Can you find the stables by yourself?

video.

[herrin]

And why would it be a trap?

( no, really. she seems genuinely curious. perhaps she just tends that way naturally. )

[video]

[boogerman]

It wouldn't. I'm shutting a certain someone up before he even starts.

video. oh ho ho she might be friends with that someone.

[herrin]

'Certain someone'? Do tell. I love gossip as much as the next girl.

[video]

[boogerman]

Overgrown rodent with an anger problem ring any bells?

[voice]

[madvaporskillz]

I should hope an offer made in the name of cooperation wasn't a trap.

[voice]

[boogerman]

Whoever I shot in the back would only be brought back to blab about what I did.

[voice]

[madvaporskillz]

Such an inconvenience, should anyone wish to try, but that they would.

[voice]

[boogerman]

My thoughts exactly.

[ ...why would it be a trap? Connor tilts his head at the message for a moment before deciding to answer. He could use the help, and it can't hurt to learn more about his teammate. ]

I need to learn to ride horses, if you've still got time.

[voice]

[boogerman]

Why do you need to?

Re: [voice]

[daddyissues]

In case we have to travel again, like to Muspellheim.

[voice]

[boogerman]

I still have time. When can you spare some of yours?

[voice]

[itistolaugh]

Ooh, me! I want to know more ways to kill people!

[voice]

[boogerman]

Be more specific. Kill them with pointy things up close or far away?

[itistolaugh]

Mmmmboth? Both. S'not like you can know too many ways to kill people.

[boogerman]

You get one, not both. Don't be selfish, other people need their turn.
