[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.]

You will learn with practice. [a pause, and a sip] Don't suggest this. I want it to myself.

[Sup, Yuri? Asch glances up at his voice, lifting a brow. Where else would he be D|]

You wanted to know what I'm trying to do?

[Voice]

[dissonates]

If I have to. [See, Miyabi, he can troll a bit too. 8|]

[dissonates]

...I'm not your servant. If you want to fight me, get your own weapon. The smithy has all of those, anyway.

I'd sooner recommend blood cocktails than whatever's in that.

[Two weeks, and he missed it? Some special ops spy he is.]

You're one of the few, then. [So much explaining he has to do, sob.]

[Oh boy, her too? Asch looks slightly uncomfortable for a moment, then opts to go ahead and ask to avoid letting her ask a question about him or something. Most of Guy's friends tend to be nosy, after all.]

Why?

[action]

[chaincutter]

Grapes?

[action]

[dissonates]

Toxic grapes, maybe.

... It is named for a sacrilegious swear. [Yes, he did basically just admit to his drink of choice being named just a step away from "oh, god, why?" Take that as you will.]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

[Something occurs to Guy then.]

You're sure it's a good idea to start with...um, living people?

[dissonates]

I can't practice hyperresonance in combat if I'm not being attacked.

[dissonates]

'Premium Karathos' is a curse?

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

["Well just don't kill anybody" sounds a little insulting so Guy will just occupy himself with his drink and make an "mm hmm" sound in the back of his throat.]

[dissonates]

[Are you worry, Guy. You're not supposed to worry :|]

I'm taking precautions. The only one who'll be in range of the hyperresonance is me.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

[Hey, you were the one all "I WILL KILL PEOPLE WITH THIS" so it's understandable that Guy is iffy about Asch using it on someone else.]

How are you going to test it in battle then?

[Action]

[distressedude]

Mm. It hadn't occurred to me how rare it is for someone to return with all their memories from the last time intact. [Smile.] So, how are Luke and Natalia doing? They're both staying with you and Guy, yes?

Maybe, but this time, I might be the one to kick your ass.

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

[Yes, gdit.]

[And she's here because she really misses her doll, but she's not about to admit that to him. Even if she already kind of did.]

Um. Maybe I wanted a drink?

[dissonates]

[Well there's a difference between a spar and a real battle, for him.]

I'm going to try using it as a defense method first. That's the safest way to use it.

[Action]

[dissonates]

Then order already.

[Geez, Anise, you're weird.]

[...] Karathos is a holy beast, guardian of the region it was made in.

[She makes a face at him, just because she can, before propping her elbows up top on the counter.]

I'll have coffee with the chocolate and caramel, then! With extra whipped cream~ [Protip: give her decaf.]

[Action]

[dissonates]

This is supposed to be a bar, not a diner. Aren't you a little young for coffee?

[He'll probably think of it in a minute; for the moment, he just goes to boil the kettle anyway.]

[action]

[dissonates]

What, you can't even say the name without some sort of taboo?
