[Voice / Action]

[dissonates]

I'm looking for an experienced weapon-based fighter who's not afraid to risk their life in a spar. I prefer swordsmen, but what I need right now is someone who can attack from a distance, dodge effectively, and defend themselves.

I won't lie and say it isn't dangerous. Don't offer if you're afraid of getting hurt.

...That's it.


[Go go awkward! And since Asch is just itching to get out of the house - awkward home situation is awkward - he'll be spending most of the afternoon/evening in the bar, practicing his drink mixes and trying to get a better feel for bartending. He's feeling just as socially clumsy as ever but a recent confidence boosting has him sort of... cheerful. Well, his version of cheerful, which is more or less just >:| with less > but hey. Baby steps. He's up for bothering and might actually be decently talkative. ....Just don't hold your breath.]

Wow, thanks. You sure know how to boost someone's confidence.

[Not that Guy wasn't aware of that already.]

[dissonates]

You want me to lie and say you'll make all the difference? That us dying together would somehow be better?

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Are you saying that would be worse?

[dissonates]

I am.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

[Guy laces his fingers together and hooks them at the back of his neck, looking away.]

Hm.

[dissonates]

You said it was like the curse slot. What if he made us kill each other?

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Well, that's a possibility.

[dissonates]

All the more reason to not always be so close.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Are you trying to get rid of me? Just say the word, and I'll run on home.

[dissonates]

I doubt that.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

What? Look, when I lie I'm at least creative with my wording. Where is there a loophole in that?

[dissonates]

There must be a trick to it. There usually is.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

There isn't. If you really want me to go, I'll go.

[dissonates]

[Asch considers that for a moment.]

...I'll walk back with you. But I'm going out again, and I don't want you following me anymore.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

[Guy holds up a hand to stop him, taking a step away and back toward the path for their house.]

Don't bother. I can get home on my own.

[Annnd jogging off.]

[dissonates]

[FINE BE THAT WAY. Asch glares after him and stalks off towards the mountains. Oh yeah, he's totally mature.]

[trueknight]

... Yeah, I can see how that'd make a spar a little more life threatening than usual. [ ... ] You can control it and all that, right?

[Action]

[orchidsandfire.livejournal.com]

I always am. Of course, we don't need to have one right now. I can see that you're working.

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

[It's not like she can taste the difference. Or that she's even had real coffee before, so.]

[Still, awkward pauses are horrible, so Anise will just keep talking, here!]

So, um, Ion and Luke and the Colonel and Natalia came back! And Ion actually remembers being here! Isn't that weird, Asch?

[Action]

[dissonates]

Yeah. I just haven't used it in combat because of how dangerous it is.

[Action]

[dissonates]

I don't finish until 3am. My schedule is flexible, though, so pick a day, and we can do it then.

[action]

[chaincutter]

Yes. ...Or that experiment ended poorly for everyone.

[Well this is awkward. Hello, drink. You are now the most fascinating thing in the universe.]

[Action]

[dissonates]

[Well thanks, Anise, he really wanted to talk to you B| Asch looks uncomfortable again, though he does his best to conceal it. No sense in revealing too much.]

It's unusual. [And kind of unfortunate, though it saves time in explanations.]

[Action]

[dissonates]

[He'd apologize but he likes it that way. He shifts slightly at that, though; he's fine with being in Luceti, it's the rest of them he'd rather not have around.]

That's for them to decide.

[action]

[dissonates]

You offended her or something? Him, whatever. [Stupid genderbending. Why does he look so uncomfortable?]
